TROPHY CASE

That is NOT a two-letter word, Yahoo... (WWF not Scrabble, I know... but still) by vuduchiknin scrabble

[–]cheesysam 2 points3 points ago

I'm afraid it absolutely is a word. ZO is in my scrabble dictionary. ZA, too.

If its inaudible, just leave it.

*Audible, right?

Interpersonal relationships for the misophonics. by trisstisin misophonia

[–]cheesysam 3 points4 points ago

With the relationship, I'd just make sure BF knows as much about how it makes you feel as possible.

It seems the people who eat as fast as possible are the ones who make the most noise, so you could try asking him to slow down rather than trying to tell him to be quiet. Or you slow down, and then he will probably subconciously follow. Of course this does run the risk of prolonging the agony if it doesn't help, but worth a try.

If you do notice a difference, make sure you say you're finding it easier and build up slowly.

Hope that helps!

IAmA person who has been on British Jobseekers Allowance for 1 month. The system is very very broken. by pompey606in IAmA

[–]cheesysam 2 points3 points ago

I assume you're in Portsmouth? I'm in Southsea.

Having been a job centres regular client when I was younger, I can only agree with the ridiculousness of the system.

Have you been to any other branches at any point? I've heard stories about the staff being employed on the basis that they went in there looking for jobs so often they eventually get employed by Job Centre. I'm wondering if that particular branch is worse than most.

You don't see many hockey fights like these anymore... by ugartin videos

[–]cheesysam 7 points8 points ago

It's expected in full contact sports that adrenaline will run high and fighting will occur. It seems that the NHL are fairly good at keeping it under control in most instances.

What about boxing? That sort of assault is surely a criminal offence.

Vinyl pressing advice by dylseyin WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]cheesysam 0 points1 point ago

Regarding actual volume, the groove size shouldn't make a difference as the phono-preamp will take care of getting it up to RIAA levels.

You might lose some fidelity in the lows if it's squeezed in too tight so it's not a good idea to go over the top, but raw volume won't be a problem.

Problems with latency and M Audio fast track ultra. by jerryperch1in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Disclaimer - I am new here.

Wouldn't making the buffer smaller have the opposite effect of what you intended that to do? If you have a large buffer, you're doing fewer move operations from the buffer to wherever it's going.

If this is wrong, which I suspect it is, can someone let me know why.

I'm in Portsmouth. It seems the majority is towards London, I hadn't considered Bristol.

Denki Groove - That sounds like a lot, and how do I liquify it?

Is the Korg nanopad 2 worth it ? by costas_0in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]cheesysam 1 point2 points ago

I just had one delivered last week. I was concerned as well after reading so much about it's predecessors shortcomings in the robustness department, but so far it seems a pretty solid build overall. As for how long the pads will last, I wouldn't like to say.

I have to hit the pads pretty hard to get a response, but having never used a product like this before ever, I don't know what a normal force to use would be.

It is super customizable. You can have each pad do whatever the hell you like once you've downloaded the Korg software. I'm using Reaper on a mac and getting it set up was a piece of cake.

I understand the predicament of the comic, but I think you've a funny idea of vinyl as a medium if it's purpose is as you said.

Hard disk drives, 1979 to present. by happytacoin pics

[–]cheesysam 0 points1 point ago

I think it is what you were thinking of. There's a heater on the head which when active changes the properties of it, allowing a lower fly height.

It's still flying, because when you stop a disk spinning with the head over the disk you end up in trouble.

Help, I need somebody, help. by W3RRDin vinyl

[–]cheesysam 0 points1 point ago

I do it in luke-warm tap water with a little washing up soap, a normal jay-cloth is fine. Then I have a spray bottle with the distilled water to spray generously over the surface before standing up and leaving to air-dry.

It's hard to make a more accurate comparison. Head fly-height is often < 10nm, if that helps your calculations.

So I managed to track down this gem last week. by nfreakossin vinyl

What sort of condition is the media in? I got the same pressing recently for £15 in the UK but I assume it's more common here.

This can never be said enough! Get the most out of your vinyl! Remember to adjust your turntables and clean your records! by MadisonWisconsinin vinyl

[–]cheesysam 1 point2 points ago

Great advice. I've seen mentioned by r/vinyl before to give the record a quick dust with something like a glasses (spectacles) cloth before and after each play. Something non-fibrous is the key there.

I also read somewhere that when your needle hits a speck of dust, through electrostatic-something-or-other, the dust explodes and the pop will then be a permanent addition to your record. Is this true?

Just received 'Flying Lotus' - 'Cosmogramma', Review and a bit of story. by cheesysamin vinyl

[–]cheesysam[S] 0 points1 point ago

Lol, yeah that did confuse me to start with. A/B had the track listing on the inner sleeve. C/D has the credits. After that, I just looked at the markings near the run-out to work out which side was which.
