I work in audio engineering, and while this is more of a slow burn, I think we’re about to see a new generation of digitally enabled audio equipment hit the market. Audio-over-IP has been in use for a while now, but has been quite expensive, and adoption has been somewhat spotty. We’re heading out of the chip shortage and shipping crisis, and that excites me.
Oh thank you! It’s weird speaking publicly about pornography habits, but this single feature is probably the most responsible for the diversity of content I’ve consumed, I really love it!
I’m so happy to be back!
I spent a day in the official Reddit app, and it was miserable. So far I really like Lemmy, the content is much richer than I anticipated, and Sync makes me feel right at home, and the ads aren’t too obtrusive (unlike the fucking Reddit app, Christ it’s miserable) I think 20 for the equivalent-ish to pro is fair, but I am from a wealthier country, so my reference may be different to others. Ultra seems steep to me as well, but it’s still way less than the official Reddit app lol.
So glad for the work you’re doing, and excited for a new chapter of happy doomscrolling and community-building.
My mixer for sure! An Allen & Heath SQ5, with two dx168 stageboxes. It runs a proprietary AoIP protocol, but it’s SO easy to connect! The flexibility in routing is huge.
This mixer isn’t new, but it seems indicative of what might be to come. It’s a little expensive, (for what it is or honestly isn’t though) but I truly believe we’re overdue for a mixer with these capabilities for less. Or one for the same that does more. In price vs performance the X32 outperforms this, and nothing has touched that spot since its release, but that can’t last forever.
The school i attend has some more cutting edge stuff that’s more indicative of the future: stageboxes and monitor mixes run on the same network as the rest of the building, so I can connect them at any Ethernet plug in the building and get the same signal, it’s so cool!
