This is a special kind of stupid. They're not recording silence, they're recording the ambient sound of the room. The entire point is that it's not silent, even if it is very quiet.
This is a special kind of pedantic. You literally said the same thing as them but with mostly unnecessary specificity and explanation and acted like THEY were the idiot for assuming people would appreciate and understand their metaphor. Nah dude, they explained it the way it was explained to them and they understood it and so did most people.
I believe when he said this is a special kind of stupid he was referring to himself and prefacing his own comment with a little warning.
It's Tumblr. Make no assumptions, work with what they have literally said, and you will rarely be disappointed by their actual meaning.
This is why I like Instagram. You're allowed to use metaphors over there.
It is sometimes misleadingly called silence in the biz, though room tone is more appropriate.
Totally, but the context is important. Everyone in that environment should (hopefully) understand that when they say silence, they don’t mean literal silence.
I was wondering how far I had to scroll to see somebody say "room tone" THANK YOU!
I think in context it is clear what the person was saying. When we talk about silence we mean the resting noises of the room. We don't mean if you cut the audio feed what you are left with.
And yes it is true. You get a sense of space from those tiny noises and how they echo and get absorbed.
Can I have the other half of the hair?
Yes, I believe it's called Tumblr
The only place where they will stan for teachers and then ask why they need to fail to learn algebra in the same breath
