once again trying to figure out if I should get a cheapish 12 string or just give in and buy a POG2 already gear is stupid and even once they come up with a helmet that translates your thoughts into music, people will argue about whether the magnesium or copper skull pickups have a warmer treble response

darkwasthenight posted:There's no such thing as cheap stuff for any kind of classical instrument tbh. A sax you can actually gig starts around four figures. A lot of beginners rent or borrow them from schools until they're committed enough to invest, but even top-tier professional players will use exceptional instruments bought by angel investors and gifted on loan because its the only way anyone who plays music can afford them.

My personal stupid music poo poo is that part of me wants to stress buy this https://www.musiciansfriend.com/folk-traditional-instruments/martin-5k-soprano-ukulele/l28193000001000?rNtt=martin%20ukuleles&index=5 even though it costs almost as much as my incredibly nice Martin acoustic and I could still get a great Martin uke for 1/10th of this. My other stupid music poo poo is that in my ten years of playing, I've decided that I do have a strong preference for Martin acoustics even though they're the most expensive of all of the major brands.

I borrowed a sound level meter from work to test out my hearing and how loud my amp can get. Just preliminary testing (I didn't feel like putting in earplugs) but the boss katana on the 0.5w setting through a 2x12, and a very high gain setting with the channel volume at 71 and the master at 9oclock gets to 80dBa. At around 70 dB I think things are annoyingly loud and I can't understand speech in noise. Like a proper hypochondriac I will do some further testing so see if I perceive things to go from very quiet to super loud without much dB change, as that's indicative of outer hair dysfunction. Or maybe autism. Im not a doctor.

Huxley posted:I've always wanted to spend sometime on the violin, and when I called the local reputable strings place they told me their absolute cheapest student models started in the $500 range. The owner said it was the "cheapest thing we can sell with a good conscience." And this wasn't some nose-in-the-air place, their guitar room has a whole wall of $200 student acoustics. When I was looking at violin for my daughter, the place I asked at offered a deal on rent if you take lessons from them plus when you buy an instrument from them afterwards a portion of what you had payed on rent previously would be put up against the price of the violin. No one is making money if no one is taking up the craft...

Here's some fun stupid by design - Dare to be Stupid by the Cybertronic Spree, because everyone needs a Transformers-themed rock band once in a while: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tc6UbEYI4M Friends of mine did the camera work for this and myself plus a bunch of friends are in the crowd shots (shot November 2019 if you're wondering about crowding and lack of masks). Mostly it just reminds me of how much I miss live shows with my friends

Looks like it has an "audio" input but no actual guitar input. Also can't really see that it has any sort of chorus effect despite saying that in the name. If it was like one of those little portable Marshalls it'd be pretty cool.

Funko pops are made of vinyl right? My stupid secret wish is to have 'em recycled and pressed into records. I'm sure there's a number of reasons it's not logistically possible, and that they'd all be a uniform beige brown color in the end, but one can hope.

Mad Dragon posted:They're both PVC, so it could work. I don't know if you'd have to grind one up into pellets or just heat it until its soft before pressing, but it would be one less pop on this planet. Pellets would heat and press more evenly. Also there's the possibility of using one of the actual bobblehead ones, which have springs in them and you'd have to take that out.

I was concerned about paint, aren't some details painted on to them? I'd think you'd have to melt them down anyways because all the record pressing machines I've seen video of work with a biscuit shaped blank and nobody is going to retool one to accept the unmelted figure. This is where I admit that I shouldn't be throwing stones like this, as I am guilty of having bought two of them. The bulbasaur figure isn't as cute anymore as when I first bought it, and I gave the tootsie pop owl mascot to my mother. That's probably at least half of their sales though: "I know you like *thing* so I got you a funko pop of *thing*. Happy Birthday!"

The only one I've personally bought for myself is an Admiral Holdo bobblehead, and my spouse has several Mass Effect: Andromeda ones and a Captain Marvel. I've never understood the appeal of buying poo poo just to buy it, especially when it comes to pop culture poo poo. Get things that truly resonate with you, and know that almost all pop culture collecting is a fad and will never be worth as much as you want it to be when you go to sell it.

Stupid music poo poo: I had a long talk yesterday with a research audio engineer at the company that makes audio equipment for hearing tests/research. He was walking me through how to calibrate the equipment for recording DPOAEs (its basically doing an impulse response on the cochlea) and I learned that the best thing they found for acoustically damping ultrasonic frequencies was aquarium filter floss that they bought at a pet store. So uh yeah, I'm going to get a cheap bag and make some fake ears at work.

One of my professors works on doing high frequency DPOAEs (Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions) and she had to cobble together her own transducers and hack it all together. Her favorite piece of equipment runs on a computer that is older than many of her students. TEOAEs (Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions) are more like an impulse response though

Her favorite piece of equipment runs on a computer that is older than many of her students. That's why I said "basically" as there's multiple types but musicians know "impulse response" as the frequency response of an amp so that gets confusing. Switching from music to EE to audiology there's a bunch of terms that have different uses across the three. Luckily no cobbling together poo poo because it's already available. why reinvent the wheel and make reviewers pissed that it's inconsistent?
