fluffypony: but based on some trivial readings I believe the major aim is authenticity - what goes on to the master (digital or otherwise) must be as close to reality as possible, let post-processing be done in playback
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves but basically, any "artist" is just called "a band" in my admittedly living in the past head.
ThickAsThieves: this may be still on the table, but I'm currently researching the video game music industry
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: that's helluva interesting, way out of my field of knowledge
fluffypony: step into my parlour, said the spider to the fly
mircea_popescu: fluffypony he's probably just trying to record his wife snoring
ThickAsThieves: his "secret sauce" is that he uses his on opamp design
ThickAsThieves: for asciilifeform: this guy makes a killing selling kits (or assemblies) of a mic preamp that mimics a very popular more expensive one http://www.classicapi.com/catalog/
ThickAsThieves: i did a whole floor plan for my space, i'll probly start some blog posts on the efforts after Amsterdam
mircea_popescu: well, let's hope music gets regulated in the us then
ThickAsThieves: but moving back to music
ThickAsThieves: i still trade some
ThickAsThieves: and til i invented investment banking ;)
ThickAsThieves: it was the object of my obsession til i found you guys
ThickAsThieves: nig too though
kakobrekla: ThickAsThieves a lot of that is bullshit, a lot of it isnt.
mod6: <+ThickAsThieves> hell, they cream over plugins that emulate vintage gear << haha
benkay: dem vacuum tubes
ThickAsThieves: hell, they cream over plugins that emulate vintage gear
ThickAsThieves: people have like 1000-post-long threads about digital converter chips
mircea_popescu: just the offense this discussion brings to any serious ee may have him change his mind.
ThickAsThieves: he'd probably rape the scene
ThickAsThieves: this is partly why i tried (and failed) to get stan interested in designing gear
mircea_popescu: aesthetically driven technologies
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves so basically this "industry" is not so unlike bitcoin biznis industry
ThickAsThieves: some guys mic the mix out of the monitors
mircea_popescu: i have a better idea : MIC THE SPEAKERS TWICE
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla so the amps do not have a jack into which you can plug your speakers or mixing table or anything else ?
ThickAsThieves: this thing is great http://www.lachapellaudio.com/model-583s/
ThickAsThieves: i also have one tube mic and one tube preamp
ThickAsThieves: yes i use a tube amp
kakobrekla: cause they are herps.
kakobrekla: mircea_popescu the speakers color the sound specifically depending on brand model, and guitar players want that .
ThickAsThieves: but not the same
ThickAsThieves: it's not the same
ThickAsThieves: because if i just record the line, then i must use digital effects and overdrive etc
mircea_popescu goes over to lie down and die.
mircea_popescu: you already got their signal, what's the mic going to do ?
ThickAsThieves: you mic the amp
mircea_popescu: because... they are... electric ?
ThickAsThieves: but that's easy to mic even in sub-optimal room
ThickAsThieves: well i have guitars and amp too
mircea_popescu: because who the fuck plays an instrument anymore.
mircea_popescu: well yes. that's what studios are these days.
ThickAsThieves: i think you misunderstand what i do
mircea_popescu: can i bet against this ipo of yours somewhere ?
ThickAsThieves: sound treatment
ThickAsThieves: i need to control reflections
ThickAsThieves: it doesnt work like that
mircea_popescu: how the fuck do you want to do a soundproofing job w/o a db probe
ThickAsThieves: and to mix over
ThickAsThieves: no matter, i know from hearing it's too loud to have going with mics hot
mircea_popescu: funny, i can't tell whether my heater fan is working from here.
mircea_popescu: tbh, unless you got some turboprop shit going on here, a properly soundproofed garage shouldn't care anywya.
ThickAsThieves: i bet the fan even runs on elec mode
ThickAsThieves: and how long that takes
ThickAsThieves: i guess i need to ride it out and see if it shuts up when it's heated
mircea_popescu: where both the old and new are spliced together.
ThickAsThieves: he's like where do you want this
ThickAsThieves: here i was thinking i'd be nice and give it to him for free
ThickAsThieves: the best part is the installer wouldnt even take the replaced one, which works perfectly fine
ThickAsThieves: this one uses like 30% of the electricity
mircea_popescu: benkay some shit us idea that tries to combine the african water heater (big tank painted black) with the european model (burn gas under the pipe, like a reverse fridge)
ThickAsThieves: well the prior was electric, it only made noise when refilling with water after showers
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves if it makes you feel better, my house (and most of europe) is heated by gas fired tankless systems, which actuyally make very little noise.
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves Presents: The Lion King Intro (Cover)
ThickAsThieves: maybe i can get out of thois only spending $4000 for nothing
benkay: because heating water isn't dead simple to begin with.
kakobrekla: its a thing that "will and will not heat your water"
ThickAsThieves: it uses the hot air or some shit
benkay: what the hell is a hybrid water heater?
mircea_popescu: is the fan making noise because of mechanics or airflow ?
ThickAsThieves: there's a mega fan, and then this humming mini-keg thing
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves what's the noisy part ?
ThickAsThieves: i'm so frustrated by this
mircea_popescu: it's gotta be better than the shit on tv.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves just go with the flow man. add the noise to the beats :D
ThickAsThieves: it requires 700sqft of open air to work, so i also cant box it in to dampen noise
ThickAsThieves: and my garage is a converted recording studio in the making
ThickAsThieves: well, it'd more noisey than the A/C
ThickAsThieves: rather than solar, cuz it's better or cheaper or whatever
mircea_popescu: this is what people say whose washing machine water hose popped early in the unsupervised cycle
ThickAsThieves: as part of this solar install we werse sold a hybrid water heater
benkay: i mean give me a fn delimiter and i'm going to delimit on that.
benkay: at least the number of fields is consistent. only saving grace.
mircea_popescu: course why the fuck do they not use the already conventrional ""
benkay: lol unix time machines
mircea_popescu: if the field is documented as [to] then i guess
benkay: or do i need to write a state machine generator generator to identify unix time machines?
benkay: is the notion that because it's in square brackets it'd be fine to include a space?
mircea_popescu: but the fields do not cointain spaces
mircea_popescu: benkay of course, traditional webserver access logs (the sort awstats processes) are in fact space separated

benkay: can't tell if 'design' or just derps lifted out of someone else's DC for their 2 years in aws.
mircea_popescu: benkay this design is nonsense, i don't care wtf.
benkay: i'm new to this pressed shitboard thing and can never tell if a thing is done incorrectly or if there's a deeper shitboard reason for the derptastic engineering.
benkay: is it unreasonable to expect that a delimeter not be used in fields?
benkay: additionally, some of their fields have spaces in them as well.
benkay: this is true.
benkay: in other news, AWS claims that their log files are space delimited.
