Don't actually bring up reasonable topics, people might get outraged.

I've been trying for quite some time to understand what drives the social outrage Zeitgeist, at the moment much of it seems like TikTok.

They literally made it illegal in Florida, thanks.

I think the mixing being different is likely dependent upon how good the engineer and mastering engineers are/were. I'd wager a fair number of bands releasing their albums to vinyl these days simply send over a very similar final master (maybe slightly less loud if you are lucky) to the vinyl cutting without much thought, because it's the hip thing to do.

You are accurate, that they should ensure that low frequencies are mono compatible, but it is likely less of an issue for the style of music most associated with vinyl releases (indi etc), as stylistically they don't tend to use stereo widening on low frequency instruments. Generally they have kick and bass down the center channel, or I suppose going mono style out of L/R if they are trying to be really old school, but that would likely take a completely different mix adding to production budget as I can't imagine if would work to well on phones etc, which a lof of music is mix for unfortunately.

None of the artists I produce or mix for have requested it yet, but if they did I would send them to Fuller Sound Mastering as Michael has been around for ages and knows how to handle masters for vinyl.

Vinyl cutting also has an EQ curve offset that is printed into the vinyl itself, cutting the bass and boosting the high frequency, which is then re-applied by the players preamp circuitry, I believe it's referred to as pre and de-emphasis. Funny enough my mastering DAC actually has this feature for some kind of old early CD technology for some lower resolution digital formats that had issues with noise and filtering and used a similar technology, I had never heard of this until I purchased this particular unit haha.

I'm a professional audio engineer for a living, with a masters in the subject, it was sarcasm lol...

It's Nissans in general! I swear they must be one of the highest hp/dollar cars on the road or something for economy cars, and everyone drives them like they stole them!

I am not from Canada, but have noticed many subreddits are becoming more more toxic. Even subs that used to be somewhat reasonably moderated are nearly intolerable from the amount of trolls.

They did the same in Florida... And we are yet going to try again...

Anything that helps demonitize Twitter is good in my opinion!

I understand your point, and you are accurate about the majority, my apologies, however; (and I did look this up and couldn't find an answer) how many of the bills passed by the house have been brought to the floor during the 118th congress were only brought forth with enough votes to pass them with GOP only votes? Are there any exceptions? Would they even bring one to the floor? It seems effectually this rule has been taken to an extreme. It appears today, McCarthy finally put on his big boy pants and is proposing a 45 day clean spending bill, but it's just kicking the can down the road again.

Many of the items put in the majority of bills that could normally pass with bipartisan support are non-starters for Democrats. These insane "anti-woke" (whatever the hell that means), policies and support/proliferation of Russian propaganda resulting in our neglect of Ukraine aid are not in our nations best interest.

It's amazing to me that under GOP control they will cut taxes, spend like lunatics, blow up the deficit, and then their constituents buy into the "fiscal conservatism" ploy, hook, line and sinker as soon as they are the opposition party. It's baffling to me. No one, especially me, disagrees with the fact that our national deficit is way beyond egregious, but shutting down the government, defaulting on debt, crashing the economy, harming our military service members, and ruining our currency and credit rating is political terrorism.

No one is willing to take on our defense spending issues, and I'm not talking about supplying our troops, I'm talking about only having one company that provides parts or equipment with no competition, changing absurd prices, and the same goes with much of our investment into equipment development. I cant recall if it's the JSF or the F22, but while they are publicly funded programs the US doesn't even own the patent rights and can't allow for competition for replacement parts etc. It's insane, our defense budget is so out of wack it needs a complete overhaul.

Technically, but not like it uses to be... the back still has to come off which uses adhesive, and a few little cables have to be moved, but you can check out a few tear downs. I don't understand why we can't have water tight backs that use an O and screws, but I guess that would make it to easy to fix things, so lets use more glue.

I find solace in the fact that 50 cents out of every dollar of his campaign money is being spent on legal fees at the moment. His main PAC had a balance of over 100 million and sank to under 5 million. This was all prior to the George charges, which I imagine is going to radically increase his legal exposure.

These people are systematically transferring hundreds of millions to the ultimate con man.
