This is contrary to everything I see online and if I’m not mistaken all content on sites like YouTube is in 44.1, right? Not sure, you probably can’t go wrong with whatever you choose especially if you’re just going to use exclusive mode on a video player or media player anyhow. I just stick to 44.1, since that’s what I see recommended everywhere.

Very important to note that you won’t be able to hear a difference anyways if the game supports 48khz, and if it doesn’t support it, you might get some nasty artifacts from converting if I’m not mistaken. On my opinion, best practice to just use 44. You literally can’t hear past it. Not only that, but 44 itself is generous, because I don’t think each ear can hear past 20khz. And your hearing probably can’t even hear that high.

Just my two cents, I don’t think you want to be sweating on ear pads. You’ll have to replace them very often, and could possibly cause actual damage to the drivers if I had to guess.

Best practice to just use earbuds with water resistance instead.

Sadly I’m completely blind. Like hardly any photoreceptors left

Ananda is far more comfortable. I don’t have the ananda anymore however because even the ananda was a little too large for my liking, but it is far better than the sundara. If my ears were a little smaller though, I’d definitely pick the sundara. I just have very long ears is the thing so my earlobe is like halfway through the ear pad on the bottom.

Hey thanks a ton! The trebel still sounds super hot to me, which filter band would I reduce to reduce the rebel? I know he mentions these things in the PDF file, but I can't read them of course :x Thank you for your help!

It’s creeping up on people and they definitely aren’t ready just look at how artists are reacting to image gen

I’m going to be honest with you, ignore basically everyone who tells you to get expensive amplifiers or DAC. You really truly don’t need them. There are, however, a few benefits to getting a amplifier and DAC which I will list below for you.

If set up correctly, the sound you get out of them is isolated from the other noisy parts of your PC, which is ideal because you will get less distortion overall. This distortion can come in many different shapes, and sizes, and in some cases this distortion can be terribly bad if you have a slow PC. There is something called DPC, latency, which, if too high can lead to some pretty annoying, pops, and cracks that constantly play in your audio stream, But usually it Hass to be pretty bad for something like that to happen. If you have even a remotely, decent gaming, PC, or a remotely decent laptop, you’ll be perfectly fine. I can imagine you would probably see this happening on some cheap Best Buy, Toshiba laptops, or something along those lines. In other cases, you experience, crackling and pops, it may be an indication that your amplifier, or dock is not properly set up.

Which leads me to my next point, getting an external amplifier, and DAC allows you to properly set up your listening experience, compared to using an onboard system. I see this topic debated online from time to time, so take this with a grain of salt or do your own research to see what conclusion you come to, But from what I’ve heard reducing the volume in the Windows, operating system, and other operating systems reduces the bit depth leading to a hissing or audible noise floor. I think back to when you were in high school when you used some cheap iambs and you heard that annoying hissing sound while there was no sound playing, and that’s what that is. This is a debated topic though, because some people online do mention that windows actually outputs sound at 32 bit internally, so this may not be an issue anymore and may have been a problem with the older windows, operating systems, but generally the consensus you see online is that you should get an amplifier or DAC and if you do, you can raise your windows volume to 100% and do finer adjustments with your amplifier itself. I’ve actually messaged amplifier and the AC manufacturers and this is exactly what they tell you to do every time to get the most out of the hardware is to raise your windows volume to 100% and reduce the amplifier volume.

Another important detail to keep in mind is that on windows, there are a couple of settings you want to change in order to get the best experience out of your external amplifier and DAC to give you the biggest difference. You’ll want to write click your volume control button on the bottom right of your taskbar and had into the sound control panel. After entering this menu, off to the right hand side, you’ll see another hyperlink button you can click that says sound control panel again. Click this, heading to playback devices, right click your DAC, head into properties, make sure that the enhancements are all turned off by going into the enhancements tab, and toggling that button that says disable, all enhancements, Head to your levels, tab, and max that volume slider out and reduce the volume on your amplifier, and then head into the advanced tab and set your sampling rate and a bit depth to 44.1 kHz with 16 bit. This is because if you have it set to 48 kHz or higher, most content online is 44.1, so you’ll be getting some nasty recompression going on. This also seems to be the case with services like Spotify.

So, in conclusion, expensive amplifiers, and DAC do absolutely nothing, but in my opinion, you should absolutely purchase an external amplifier or DAC even if it’s a cheap one. A nice cheap hybrid amplifier, and the AC will give you the biggest bang for your buck, and the most noticeable difference compared to getting a super expensive amplifier, or DAC. If you already have one, and it has the features that that you need, there’s absolutely no point in getting one more expensive. it is important to know, however, that if your headphones don’t get loud enough with the power that your amplifier outputs, then you should get an amplifier or a new pair of headphones for sure. But as far as sound quality goes, it’s absolute bogus. Get yourself a nice, decent amplifier, and the AC or even a highbred and set it up how I told you in this comment and ignore it after that. But again, I do encourage you to look this stuff up yourself as well to fact, check some of it because I have seen it debated online in the past. All I know is that I’ve spoken with amplifier and the AC manufacturers about this as well, and they themselves also admit that some of it is bogus, but as far as setting up your amplifier and the AC the comments I listed here above, seem to be the general consensus of what you should do to get the best sound out of your system. You’ll avoid crackling and hissing, you’ll have a pretty, damn good noise floor, and it will give you the peace of mind, knowing that you’re getting the best of the best as far as sound quality goes.

Let me know if any of this doesn’t make sense and I’ll be happy to explain further. Also, sorry for any typing errors. I’m currently using Siri to dictate this on my phone.

Hello! I know this is a bit of an old thread, but has stability released anything quite yet? I’m blind, and I’m looking into ways that I can enjoy the artificial intelligence boom we’re having, and I can’t really get that from image generators, so I’ve been looking into music generators lately.

Do you perhaps know of any tutorials on how to do this? I know of the oratory sub, Reddit, and I know he publishes some content there, and I know with equalizer a PO you can edit everything in there with a text file, but I’m not really sure how to put all of this together.

I have the cipher cable but to my understanding I can’t use that with my PC as it’s lightning

Honestly, just scroll past the man. It doesn’t take that much effort to scroll past a post and the people who want to participate in the conversation in the comments get the opportunity to.

Yeah, I started reading book 2 and honestly there are some pretty awesome parts here, but ultimately, it feels really weird. For example, you would think after the events of the book one his friend Murphy would actually understand that Dresden is not responsible for most of what happens, and yet in book 2, she is coughing him and beating him up because he just so happens to have a diagram from one of his associates that she picked up from the floor in the bar. Like is that supposed to be a joke? And she doesn’t even give him a second to explain himself? She went from being a top-tier character in book one in my books to being one of the worst ones in book 2, so I hope she improves.

My favorite thing was actually his style of writing so I think I like the books quite a lot. I just was a little bothered by some of the inconsistencies in the first book but another user sort of helped me work through those. But no talk, I really really like his writing style actually.

Gotcha. That’s totally fine, I suppose not everything needs a super complicated magic system. I was just more so worried about the actual consistencies with the magic system in the book, but as another user here pointed out, I may have been wrong about some of my assessments.

Gotcha. As another user here, pointed out, some of my complaints aren’t necessarily justified as it seems like I miss heard what some of the spoken content was. I’m listening on audible, so sometimes I do tend to mix things up in my head a little bit. So at the very least some of those inconsistencies, I noticed are necessarily actual inconsistencies. It was just my inability to understand, was being said ha ha. But I am definitely going to be continuing this entire series, no worries about that. The characters are honestly super awesome.

Oh wow, I had no idea. It was his first book ever wrote actually. That is very impressive.

Oh, I see. I need to pay more attention to specifics in that case ha ha. I’ve only been reading for a few months now, so maybe my skill level is just a little bit below this book. That makes a lot of sense, and actually now that you mention it, there have been several times I can recall where he mentions how he could blow up a house, for example Very easily, but I suppose that’s controlling that power that is the challenge.
