2024.05.19 05:44 eldhokurianek Rethinking Light’s Journey: A New Perspective on Its Absolute Path
Introduction
Einstein’s theory of special relativity revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos, introducing the idea that the speed of light remains constant for all observers, regardless of their motion. This foundation has stood unchallenged in mainstream physics for over a century. Yet, what if light’s behavior could be viewed from a different angle? What if, contrary to relativity, light actually travels in a straight, absolute path, unaffected by the motion of the source or the observer? This article explores a novel theory proposing just that, shedding light on a potentially groundbreaking perspective.
The Concept of an Absolute Light Path:
Example - The Train Thought Experiment Revisited - Inside a Moving Train: If you're on a train moving forward and shine a flashlight straight up, according to relativity, both you and an external observer would agree that the light moves straight upward if measuring only in the train’s frame. But in the absolute path theory, you would see the light beam slant backward as the train moves forward, because, in your frame, the train (and thus you) are moving while the light's path is fixed. - From the Platform: A stationary observer on a platform, according to the new theory, would see the light's path as vertical if they are stationary in the absolute frame. If the platform observer is moving (say, the platform itself is on a moving body), they would see the light path tilted against their direction of motion.
Formula Application in Determining Absolute Motion or Rest:
The formula ( tan(A) = v/c ), where (A) represents the angle of deviation, (v) is the velocity of the observer relative to the proposed absolute frame, and (c) is the speed of light, is central to understanding how the theory of an absolute path for light could be applied practically to determine an object's state of motion or rest.
Understanding the Formula: The formula derives from the premise that light maintains an absolute path, unaffected by the motion of the source or the observer. If an observer moves relative to this absolute path, the light's trajectory appears to deviate or tilt relative to the observer’s motion. The angle of this deviation (A) can be calculated using the tangent function, which relates the opposite side (the perceived deviation in light's path) to the adjacent side (the original path of light).
Practical Use of the Formula: 1. Determining Motion: - Observer in Motion: When an observer is in motion, they will perceive the path of light as deviating from its vertical trajectory. The velocity (v) of the observer will influence the perceived angle of deviation (A). By measuring (A) and knowing (c), the observer can calculate their velocity (v) relative to the light’s absolute path. If (A) is non-zero, it implies that the observer is in motion relative to the absolute frame. - Observer at Rest: If an observer measures no deviation in the light's path ( A = 0 ), it implies that the tangent of (A) is zero, leading to (v = 0). This indicates that the observer is at rest with respect to the absolute frame of reference.
Conclusion:
This exploration into the possibility of light’s absolute path invites us to question and potentially expand our understanding of the universe. It challenges established norms and opens a dialogue about the very fabric of reality, encouraging further investigation and discussion within the scientific community.

Einstein’s theory of special relativity revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos, introducing the idea that the speed of light remains constant for all observers, regardless of their motion. This foundation has stood unchallenged in mainstream physics for over a century. Yet, what if light’s behavior could be viewed from a different angle? What if, contrary to relativity, light actually travels in a straight, absolute path, unaffected by the motion of the source or the observer? This article explores a novel theory proposing just that, shedding light on a potentially groundbreaking perspective.
The Concept of an Absolute Light Path:
- Absolute Path vs. Relative Motion In Einstein's theory of special relativity, the motion of the source or observer affects the observed properties of light, such as its direction and the simultaneity of events. Relativity maintains that while the speed of light is constant for all observers, its path can appear different depending on the observer's state of motion relative to the light source. However, the new theory posits that light has a unique characteristic: due to its masslessness, it follows a fixed, absolute path in the universe, uninfluenced by the relative motion of observers or the source of light.
- Masslessness and Inertia Since light (photons) has no mass, it does not experience inertia. Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to any change in its velocity. This includes changes to the speed or direction of an object's motion. For massive objects, inertia plays a crucial role in how they behave when forces are applied, and it is a key factor in how they are perceived in different reference frames in relativity. Since light lacks this property, according to the new theory, it does not adhere to these relativistic principles in the same way and maintains a trajectory that is absolute and not just a product of perceived motion.
- Implications of Light's Absolute Path If light truly travels in an absolute path, this implies the existence of a universal or absolute frame of reference from which the true path of light can be measured as a straight line, regardless of the observer's motion. This challenges the principle of relativity, which denies any universal frame of reference, positing instead that all motion is relative.
Example - The Train Thought Experiment Revisited - Inside a Moving Train: If you're on a train moving forward and shine a flashlight straight up, according to relativity, both you and an external observer would agree that the light moves straight upward if measuring only in the train’s frame. But in the absolute path theory, you would see the light beam slant backward as the train moves forward, because, in your frame, the train (and thus you) are moving while the light's path is fixed. - From the Platform: A stationary observer on a platform, according to the new theory, would see the light's path as vertical if they are stationary in the absolute frame.

2024.05.19 05:40 Cataclysmic98 What just happened? What's coming? The SEC filings & What if?
 | What just happened?We just relived the 6 months it took to the run-up of the sneeze of 2021 in just the last 3 weeks!In late April GME rejected a hard low of $10.00 per share, then institutional buys appear to have started picking up, option calls were bought up starting a gamma like event, then Roaring Kitting came back (as we all know he did not trigger this event, nor was it retail suddenly coming up with a ton of new cash to suddenly pile into the stock). We went from an average of roughly 3 million shares being traded daily to almost 800 million shares traded in just the last 2 weeks. We saw the stock rally to a near high of $80.00, with the Shorts throwing just about everything they had at their disposal to bring it down and prevent a squeeze. GameStop is highly illiquid, with 75.3 million shares DRS by individual shareholders, Insiders holding 53 million, and Insitutional, Mutual Fund and ETFS holding 102.2 million leaving only 74.1 million shares unregistered for all other individual investors who cannot (registered accounts outside of the U.S) or have not DRS their shares. [Source reference DRSGME]. As of this Thursday May 16, 2024 the ORTEX FINRA reported shares on loan was 81.87 million shares. Reported Short interest was 64.23 million or 23.58% of free float and that percentage does not account for the DRS shares that cannot be borrowed against. What's coming?This video from the 33 minute mark does a good job explaining considerations for the coming weeks, with expectations for price holding around $20, tracking XRT regulation sho (a security will be placed on the threshold list if it has a significant fail to deliver position for at least 5 business days, and XRT is known to be used to short Gamestop), the June 6th OPEX tailwind on XRT, the implementation of T+1 settlement periods, GameStop's upcoming shareholder meeting, and execution of the recent SEC filings.GME is positioned to fly again! [Above is extrapolated from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUTto\_ykHTc. At a minimum watch from 33 minute mark for more details / explanation. \* Credit to 'roadapples' for first posting this link.]* https://preview.redd.it/j27didtjya1d1.png?width=750&format=png&auto=webp&s=970193abe62c84b2ec96aadb8bdaaeaf82fbd5eb What if? https://news.gamestop.com/sec-filingsFORM 424B5 Prospectus Supplement & S-3ASR Registration Statement Prospectus, Filed May 17, 2024:F424B5 "Under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, and in accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement, we may offer and sell up to 45,000,000 shares of our common stock from and after the date hereof." The media has of course spun this filing as negative and screamed 'dilution' of the stock. In generic terms this can be detrimental to the value of a stock for current shareholders as they now need to allocate the current company 'value' across an additional 45 million shareholders. However, GameStop has no debt outside of a 17 million dollar no interset covid-loan and over 1 Billion dollars in cash already on hand, so the proceeds used are not being used to pay off debt, but to inveset in the business towards improving profitabiity and value to shareholders. The shares can be issued any time within the next three years. Consider if Gamestop were to issue the 45 million shares at an average of $60 per share. This would result in an additional 2.7 Billion in cash. Gamestop can invest this cash (with the existing 1 Billion, estimating 3.7 Billion at 5% for just GIC rates, this is a profit of 185 Million dollars a year profit on investments alone) and now has a huge arsenal at its disposal for acquisitions or other growth strategies for the long term viability and growth of the company. S-3ASR This prospectus covers: "We may offer and sell, from time to time, one or any combination of the securities we describe in this prospectus. The preferred stock, depositary shares, warrants, purchase contracts, units and subscription rights may be convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for our common stock, our preferred stock or our other securities." With GameStop now being profitable they are in a position to issue dividends. However, until profit is larger and proven sustainable this does not make the best business sense. Plus, while expensive, Shorts can cover the dividend. This prospectus covers other options GameStop may capitalize on to reward their shareholders - and potential wipe out the Shorts. A digital dividend, NFT-like unit, warrant subscription or carve-out (eg. of aquisition/invetment hold-co) is a consideration that could be Check.Mate for the Shorts! There has been speculation of an NFT like dividend or WuTang like issuance being used as a unit distribution to shareholders of record. This cannot be replicated like a cash dividend by the shorts and could/should be checkmate - forcing the shorts to cover as they cannot procur the distribution. Alternatively, a warrant (guarantee to shareholders to acquire the right of additional shares at current price when shares are trading at a higher value in the future). Again, this warrant is provided to sharholder of 'record' only, potentially costing Shorts millions or billions of dollars, causing margin calls and forcing closure of Short positons. May 17, 2024 prospectus: "We may issue units from time to time in such amounts and in as many distinct series as we determine. We will issue each series of units under a unit agreement to be entered into between us and a unit agent to be designated in the applicable prospectus supplement. When we refer to a series of units, we mean all units issued as part of the same series under the applicable unit agreement. We may issue units consisting of any combination of two or more securities described in this prospectus. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. These units may be issuable as, and for a specified period of time may be transferable as, a single security only, rather than as the separate constituent securities comprising such units." [**Note, this would mean that the newly issued units could not immediately be bought or borrowed to manipulate / cover missing positions of the new issue - effectively forcing the shorts to CLOSE their positions**] The S-3ASR could mean a lot of different things. Regardless of timing or what happens next, I beleive in Ryan Chohen, the Board and and I'm nothing but exited for the outlook and prospects of GameStop. Opinion only. This is by no means advice. Always do your own due diligence and invest to your individual risk tolerance.For Fun: Bringing back the Hype!

I've been using it to record my guitars for a while because hey free gear. However something about my guitar tracks just sounds... not great, and before I admit to myself it's becasue of my playing or production skills I first want to investigate whether or this DI box is just a piece of crap.

2024.05.19 05:20 shellof_a_man my first review: Atavista - Childish Gambino Album Review, I would love any tips you guys have!
I just wrote my first album review and I know it needs work. Please offer tips of any kind!
I will post it for free here, but if you have medium please read it here:
https://medium.com/@benbrotmanb/secrets-heartbeat-atavista-by-childish-gambino-an-album-review-fce8f38ee5a0
But here's the full article:
Childish Gambino’s musical projects have improved with each release since 2011’s Camp. In those earlier years, his messages were met with overwhelmingly corny delivery and style, but his endeavors remained steady and he eventually found more profound and artistic ways to speak to his audience and the world. Gambino’s music includes but is not limited to addressing and critiquing American society and pop culture (see his smash hit “This is America”), while also pondering what life means and who he really is behind the fame.
The anticipation for this record was high for many having found enjoyment in his discography, including, most recently, the psychedelic, groovy, passionate, and emotional “Awaken, My Love!”.
The album art to represent this record seems to differ completely from all his previous. The jarringly blank white background with “ATAVISTA” pasted across the center to me indicated a significant change in his approach these many years later, but his style changes so drastically with each release that it was up in the air.
The introduction and title track “Atavista” fed us a short reflection on the word and it’s context — it meaning some sort of return to something ancestral or left behind, but this track didn’t reveal too much about how the rest would unfold.
By the third song “Time” with Ariana Grande, it was clear that Childish Gambino was taking another more pop-based approach to his regular variation on R&B — dappled with messages about his unique journey with self-love (see “To Be Hunted”) and the faults within social media(in “Algorhythm” and more).
A suprising first feature on the record, Ariana steps up to the plate. Her verse ends about as quickly as it begins, leaving something to be desired of her talent. The experience thus far felt lacking, but it was hard to put a finger on it.
What gave the album some kick after a slightly underwhelming beginning were two stand-out catchy and trademarked Gambino groove tracks: “Sweet Thang” with Summer Walker and “Little Foot Big Foot” with Young Nudy. The former is a sugary, southern, and soulful track that speaks on the ups and downs of relationships, neutrally expressing negative traits about his lover, but that they are a “sweet thang” regardless. “Little Foot Big Foot” showboats an earworm flow paired with a masterfully-utilized Nudy verse — a testament purely by his presence to the track’s message about the connection between absent fathers and drug dealing.
The album’s progression then begins to experience a falling action. Ther final few songs contributed little to the more passionate essence of what Gambino laid out just before. The production and overall sound of the the record (and especially the second half) was bland, monotonous, and drawn out — not something expected to hear after expecting the building momentum to continue. The wait was overall not worth the results of Childish Gambino’s efforts this time around, only creating a greater hole to fill for fans of his who feel the same.

“Secrets, Heartbeat” Atavista by Childish Gambino : an Album Review
Atavista released on May 13, 2024, a yearned-for date for fans of Childish Gambino’s former records like his most recent efforts Kauai (2014) and “Awaken, My Love!” (2016). It’s no secret that Donald Glover has carved into and entrenched himself in the inventive R&B and Hip-hop scene of the last 20-plus years, an extension of his creative and successful efforts as an actor. The following he’s amassed have waited a long seven years for the release of any project, unsure for much of that time if he even would.Childish Gambino’s musical projects have improved with each release since 2011’s Camp.

The former is a sugary, southern, and soulful track that speaks on the ups and downs of relationships, neutrally expressing negative traits about his lover, but that they are a “sweet thang” regardless. “Little Foot Big Foot” showboats an earworm flow paired with a masterfully-utilized Nudy verse — a testament purely by his presence to the track’s message about the connection between absent fathers and drug dealing.
The album’s progression then begins to experience a falling action. Ther final few songs contributed little to the more passionate essence of what Gambino laid out just before. The production and overall sound of the the record (and especially the second half) was bland, monotonous, and drawn out — not something expected to hear after expecting the building momentum to continue. The wait was overall not worth the results of Childish Gambino’s efforts this time around, only creating a greater hole to fill for fans of his who feel the same.

2024.05.19 05:17 Pleronomicon Sola Scriptura shows that man is justified by works alone, and that Works Salvation is consistent with God's grace.
[TLDR at the bottom.]
According to Jesus, faith is a work God that WE ourselves must do.
[Jhn 6:28-29 KJV] 28 Then said they unto him, *What shall WE do, that WE might work the works of God?** 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that YE believe on him whom he hath sent.*
[Jas 2:24, 26 KJV] 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and *not by faith only. ... 26 For **as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.*
[2Pe 1:5-7 KJV] 5 And beside this, giving all diligence, *ADD TO YOUR FAITH** virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.*
[Rom 3:28 KJV] 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith *without the deeds of the law.***
[Rom 6:16-18 KJV] 16 Know ye not, that *to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?** 17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. 18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.*
[Luk 17:10 KJV] 10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, *We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.***
[Mat 11:28-30 KJV] 28 Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 *For my yoke [is] EASY, and my burden is LIGHT.***
[1Jo 3:23-24 KJV] 23 And *this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.** 24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.*

Man is not justified by faith alone, but by faith and works together. As you can see below, additional works must be added to faith in order to keep faith alive; just as a spirit is breathed into a body to make it a living soul.
[Jas 2:24, 26 KJV] 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and *not by faith only. ... 26 For **as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.*
Peter agreed that works had to be added to faith.
[2Pe 1:5-7 KJV] 5 And beside this, giving all diligence, *ADD TO YOUR FAITH** virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.*
Paul did not teach "Faith Alone", but justification by faith apart from the works of the Mosaic Law.
[Rom 3:28 KJV] 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith *without the deeds of the law.***
Works Salvation is not about earning anything.
In Christ, we are redeemed from the bondage of sin and made to be servants of righeousness. A good servant does not earn anything, but simply does what he is commanded by his master. The redeeming sacrifice of Christ was an act of God's grace.
[Rom 6:16-18 KJV] 16 Know ye not, that *to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?** 17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. 18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.*
[Luk 17:10 KJV] 10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, *We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.***
TLDR: There is no reason to fear or reject Works Salvation: Faith is a work Jesus' commandments are not burdensome. Love fulfills the Law. We are servants with an easy yoke and a light burden.
[1Jo 5:3 KJV] 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and *his commandments are not grievous.***
[Mat 11:28-30 KJV] 28 Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 *For my yoke [is] EASY, and my burden is LIGHT.***
[1Jo 3:23-24 KJV] 23 And *this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.** 24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.*

2024.05.19 05:16 FirelordDerpy FNM: "An interview with Doctor Dani Of Myr."

I am Emily Jong and I'm here with Doctor Dani Of Myr, Doctor, it's good to speak to you." Dani: "It's good to speak to you as well" Emily: "You are the director of the Ovee Center for Biological Research and Genetic Repair, you are also a key figure in the fight against the bio-weapon that is affecting the New Republic. Many people are worried about the weapon and the New Republic's response to it. Of note is Mirial's seeming lack of major lockdowns, would you perhaps like to shed some light and alleviate some worries?" Dani: "Mirial is not engaging in major lockdowns, because of this." She pulls a flower from a vase sitting on her desk. "We are all in on the cure. Lockdowns, slow us down. If our economy constricts, we're slowed down. There are measures in place to limit our exposure here, but we're betting on a cure. And we're making rapid progress. Genetic repair is one step away from Cloning and genetic modifications, which makes us uniquely suited to spearheading this project. Now these flowers in particular are rejections, they lack the compounds required for the cure, which is why they're on my desk. But as we speak, we have spliced the flowers with other plants to create flora that produces the compound we need, without the particularities that it required on its homeworld. In addition, we've spliced it into a number of rapidly growing plant species as well, namely Kudzu and Bamboo," Emily: "How long until we have a cure?" Dani: "I cannot give promises." Emily: "And who will get the first cures?" Dani: "Us." Dani says with a smile. "It's a pretty good motivator for the team as we've all vowed not to take any doses of the very limited Imperial vaccine and we're at risk. Then after that, it'll likely go to areas heavily affected first, the primary issue will be mass production. But we intend to hand our results to our fellow research partners who do have the capacity for mass production." Emily: "Is this a vaccine or....?" Dani: "It will be a treatment. Vaccinations don't help those who already have it, and to limit the spread requires far more of the population to be treated than just the afflicted which would require far more production. This is not to say a vaccine won't also be developed, but our primary mission is a cure." Emily: "Now I called this a bio-weapon and you didn't seem surprised." Dani: "It's an easy conclusion, logically at least. And we've found the indications. We don't know where it came from, but it's not hard to guess and we will find out how it was created, and when we do. Well, we might need a new Senator who's prepared to go as far as necessary to annihilate those who did it." Emily: "Strong words." Dani: "Let me put it this way, we have the biological signatures of many of the Imperial leadership recovered. It wouldn't be hard to design a bio-weapon targeted at them." She says in a cold voice. Emily: "What if it wasn't the Empire?" Dani: "Then whoever it is. We will find them, and they will pay for this in blood, either at the end of a blaster, or from their eyes melting out of their head, of course, the latter would only be with the approval of the Senate." Emily: "Thank you Doctor for your time." Dani: "Of course, oh, and feel free to take that flower with you, it's quite lovely isn't it?" |

Man is not justified by faith alone, but by faith and works together. As you can see below, additional works must be added to faith in order to keep faith alive; just as a spirit is breathed into a body to make it a living soul.
[Jas 2:24, 26 KJV] 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and *not by faith only. ... 26 For **as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.*
Peter agreed that works had to be added to faith.
[2Pe 1:5-7 KJV] 5 And beside this, giving all diligence, *ADD TO YOUR FAITH** virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.*
Paul did not teach "Faith Alone", but justification by faith apart from the works of the Mosaic Law.
[Rom 3:28 KJV] 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith *without the deeds of the law.***
Works Salvation is not about earning anything.
In Christ, we are redeemed from the bondage of sin and made to be servants of righeousness. A good servant does not earn anything, but simply does what he is commanded by his master. The redeeming sacrifice of Christ was an act of God's grace.
[Rom 6:16-18 KJV] 16 Know ye not, that *to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?** 17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. 18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.*
[Luk 17:10 KJV] 10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, *We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.***
TLDR: There is no reason to fear or reject Works Salvation: Faith is a work Jesus' commandments are not burdensome. Love fulfills the Law. We are servants with an easy yoke and a light burden.
[1Jo 5:3 KJV] 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and *his commandments are not grievous.***
[Mat 11:28-30 KJV] 28 Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 *For my yoke [is] EASY, and my burden is LIGHT.***

2024.05.19 05:11 seekingsnow_2005 I might have chosen a wrong laptop
I will be going to college this year so I was searching for a productivity in 50-55 k price range and found asus vivobook was a good laptop. Found a good deal offline with ryzen 7 5800h and 16gb ram + integrated graphics under 48 k and I was also getting a laptop bag . Online the price was above 57k so it was the best deal I was getting in the price range .
Few days Ago amazon summer sale was going on and there was a i5 asus vivobook which was there for 48k same price and with credit card discount it would be 43k. But my father doesn't use credit card as he was once scammed so I told him we better buy it offline and he agreed . So yesterday I went with my father to buy it and at that moment he asked him if there was a laptop in 40-41 and there was a hp and dell i3 ig but I was u series. I told him performance was not better and better to buy the ryzen 7 and it was h series also but he told me to buy the u one only . So my father asked him how much would the series processor in hp cost and he said there is a hp victus gaming laptop and I did not want to buy that as it would hv A low battery life and I have heard several cases of hp hinge breaking and other issues . My father told me to finalize it as He was a hp fan and he believed asus was a bad laptop . I said him to give me 30 mjn to think abt it and the shop owner was also making us hurry so he didn't even give me time to compare the specs properly and it was finalized within 4 min .
After coming home when I compared the specs and saw the reviews asus seemed better and . Hp one had 8gb ram + people said it had heating issues and it was double the weight of the asus one whereas asus had ryzen 7 and 16 gb ram + It had ms office 21 for completely free + it had a premium feel too and both were of the same price and people were saying the graphics difference was also slight in both of these. So now I am a bit sad that I should have chosen the asus one. I do not regret it as even asus he gave me the best he could and many people do not get that even . So was it a good decision and will it last long like 5 years ? And if you use any of these 2 please give a review .

 | Hello as the title says this is my first build and I finally got my parts picked out, it's somewhat of a budget build, not looking to spend over $900, I just want people who know wtf they're doing to look it over submitted by Tristonandres to PcBuildHelp [link] [comments] |
2024.05.19 05:06 stel1234 [Resource] You never know who will play your mashup: Why we give production feedback especially on album projects + common issues
I know a lot of producers have talked about unsolicited feedback in the past but this post isn't about that. It's about feedback for various projects and feedback that gets requested and given. This also applies equally to original production in many cases.
A good number of mashup producers do not tend to master or don't apply limiters on tracks, or just make them softer compared to commercial levels. When albums get mastered, loudness will usually be adjusted through various plugins (EQ, multiband compressors, limiters, clippers, etc.) to shape masters so that one track is not significantly louder or softer than another especially back-to-back and groups of tracks follow a certain sound.
What this means is that once your softer mashup of -14 or -15 LUFS or softer is amplified to commercial levels in the -7 to -11 LUFS range or more depending on genre and how the overall track should sound given peaks and valleys with softer and louder parts (LUFS stands for loudness units full scale, look that up), small issues may stand out like thorns when amplified. Bottom line: Don't take the small or big issues personally; we're all human, we all miss things, and we can all improve. You may learn something new!
Think of it like how you ask to proofread writing to check for spelling or grammar and have it work for the audience.
All this to say, feedback I give or others give based on small details may come across as nit-picks at first. Don't completely discount them. You never know who will want to play your tracks, and this could range from personal playlists all the way up to DJ gigs and big festival stages.
In the case of a club DJ or performances on festival stages, volumes will be significantly louder than what you may have worked with when you created the track. I've given the restaurant food analogy before but I'll give it again: If something clearly doesn't taste good, people won't usually know why. But an experienced chef who knows how the ingredients interact sure will.
Just something to think about as you improve on mashup production and production in general.
Here are some issues below that experienced mashup producers could point out. Note that a lot of the "don't do this" stuff is really code for "don't do this unless you really know you're doing and it sounds good":

Just something to think about as you improve on mashup production and production in general.
Here are some issues below that experienced mashup producers could point out. Note that a lot of the "don't do this" stuff is really code for "don't do this unless you really know you're doing and it sounds good":
Big issues
- Out of key (OOK): This refers to wrong key signature (e.g. mixing A Minor with B Minor), not blue notes from modes or short moments of modulation. Key rule of thumb: If you're going to use key databases, verify by ear. Tunebat is the least accurate. If you must do so, use a reliable key database like the ones in this post. DJ software can work, but some automatic key detection performs better than others and are far from perfect. Above all, databases are not perfect and some will be far from it, so ears will be the final judge of whether a pairing sounds good.
- Out of tempo/time (OOT): this usually refers to wrong tempo (e.g. mixing a 116 BPM track with a 118 BPM track) or not constant tempo and going out of time. Key rule of thumb: Sync your tracks and if you need to use any form of warping (see Ableton), be prepared to do so.
- Incorrect/bad beat alignment: This is more for when a vocal or element is offbeat enough that it really sticks out as a trainwreck when mixed together
- Wrong beat/out of structure/off structure: This is when a vocal or other element is placed on a beat that doesn't make sense for what it's combined with (e.g. placing the first word of a vocal over an instrumental on beat 2 when it was meant for beat 1). Mileage will vary, sometimes the vocal beat placement only makes sense for the original song and makes less sense on others.
- Distortion from going in the red: This is when the overall mix or elements sound distorted because the volume of each track channel is too loud and either alone or combined goes well above 0 dBFS (a.k.a. into the red). Key rule of thumb: Start your track volumes at -6 dB (not 0 dB) and then adjust to taste. Don't go into the red unless you absolutely know what you're doing.
- Elements way too soft or loud: This is more along the lines of not being able to hear the added vocals or elements at all or they're too loud that you can't hear the other elements in the mix.
- Big mood mismatch: This tends to be less egregious, but if sources don't cooperate at all to a point of completely ruining the vibe, the mashup could stick out like a sore thumb from the start. Mileage will vary, and sometimes your audience would appreciate this especially with genre clashes even to the point of creating memes. But it depends on what you're going for, and sometimes you want consistency for certain albums and groups of tracks.
Smaller issues
- Fifth traps/not picking the right keys to use: This is a specific version of another problem I'll touch on, but this happens when you mix keys fifths or fourths away (e.g. F Major and C Major) and the chord progressions don't cooperate. What makes this a trap is that the pairing might appear to sound good at first glance, but when you look back at what you made, you probably could have made a better sounding pairing if you had just picked sources in key, relative key (e.g. A Minor and C Major), or parallel to the mode type (i.e. A Minor with A Dorian since Dorian is a minor mode). This Berklee Online article is a really good starting point to modes. With modes, mileage will vary.
- Out of progression/blue notes: This can happen when there are short moments where the element clashes on top of other elements (e.g. modes or short moments of different modulation). Sometimes the tracks may not be compatible, but other times it's just a part with notes outside the scale. This can be fixed by doing small note changes, but be careful not to make it too obvious, otherwise it might sound like you're forcing the pairing to work. It may also follow the same theme as fifth traps, where you could have made a better sounding pairing if you had just picked sources in key, relative key (e.g. A Minor and C Major), or parallel to the mode type (i.e. A Minor with A Dorian since Dorian is a minor mode). This Berklee Online article is a really good starting point to modes. With modes, mileage will vary.
- Low quality sources: This happens with YouTube or other rips where the elements are lower quality due to a lower frequency cutoff (YouTube is usually 15.5 kHz for AAC, other platforms may be 15-16 kHz for 128 kbps MP3, etc.). Bottom line: Get the highest quality sources you can, and use Spek or another spectrum analysis software to check rips or record pool sources. Your ears and processing algorithms will thank you. Again, you never know who will listen to or play out your track, could even be a big sound system.
- Stem separation artifacts: This can take several different forms, but can happen when either the invert or stem separation algorithm being used adds noise or other unwanted high end artifacts like high hats that once amplified, will absolutely stand out in a mix. This also includes artifacts from stem separation algorithms like Utagoe which make vocals sound like they're underwater at default settings. Key rule of thumb: Remember that the instrumental and original could be mixed and mastered differently depending on the production environment and how masters spread. If an invert makes a vocal stand out more but just needs extra cleaning, don't be afraid to combine the invert technique (original + instrumental) with stem separation. When using multiple stem separation techniques or using different sources (like remix + remix instrumental), think about how they sound on parts of the instrumental and consider picking the best extraction for a given part; remember that this includes using the original song (this is called comping in the production world). If there are parts of vocals intended to be silent and there are artifacts, don't be afraid to replace the reverb + delay with your own. Keep up to date with stem separation algorithms by keeping up with developments on the Audio Separation Discord server: https://discord.gg/wY3AAaTvHT
- Weird time-stretch and pitch-shift artifacts: This can happen when using a lower quality time-stretch or a time-stretch that can destroy transients/drum hits (Audacity or Elastique Efficient on vocals, older Elastique Pro on full instrumentals) or pitching too much and/or with too much/little formant preserve. The best way to reduce these effects on instrumental is to think about combining stem separation with ways to improve quality (pitch everything BUT the drums unless tonal, experiment with different time stretch methods on different elements, etc.). For too much pitch or formant preserve, either pick sources that are closer in key (+/- 2 semitones is a good rule of thumb) and try to control the amount of formant preservation and/or envelope (in Ableton) to make the vocals sound more natural. Formant preserve is usually a good idea for pitched vocals, but can sound bad for pitched instrumentals especially drums depending on the track.
- Pops or clicks while editing: This tends to happen when elements like vocals are cut off when not at zero volume. Key rule of thumb: Edit to zero crossing and/or use fades to cut off regions or when combining different regions together.
- Flanging, phasing, or flamming while editing: Sometimes these effects are on purpose, but oftentimes when crossfading between different parts of an instrumental, both parts of the edit don't align on beat. Flanging and phasing applies for sample level edits (ms or more), flamming for tenths or hundredths of seconds (e.g. 0.05 sec or 0.1 sec). Flamming is a drumming term for when the same part of the drum kit (usually the snare drum) is hit twice with different sticks at close to but not exactly the same time.
- Vocals or other elements end too suddenly in an edit: You may want to get different vocals to interact with each other or edit out of artifacts from vocal stem separation, but the other vocal (or elements) sound like they were cut off. Key rule of thumb: Have a reverb effect handy, and if you're working in a DAW, take advantage of wet/dry automation and combine the reverb with delay afterwards in the effect chain for vocals and other elements so when you crank up the wet the decay helps fade out the element gracefully.
- Vocals or other elements start too suddenly or out of place when connecting them or transitioning: This also considers getting different vocals or other elements to work together or going to a new part, but refers to a new part using vocals or other elements sounding out of place at the beginning of a region in a transition. Key rule of thumb: Watch your crossfades and when you're in a pinch and want to start the next part gracefully, don't be afraid to use reverse reverb or other effect like a riser to introduce a completely new element or different part in a pinch. Reverse reverb is exactly what it sounds: Adding reverb to a short snippet of an element like a cymbal, vocal note, or pad, and then applying reverse on it. Often this is done by choosing a tonal center to transition into, choosing a small snippet to add reverb to, choosing reverb with a long decay time and big space (usually I do a Cathedral reverb), reversing it, and then carefully aligning the reverse reverb so the end of it hits the beginning of the next region. Whew that was a lot! Tutorials will do this much more justice but this is the general idea.
- Vocals too dry or too wet for the instrumental: Usually this depends on the instrumental's genre. For genres like pop or EDM, vocals tend to have some reverb applied to make them shine. For others like alternative and some classic hip-hop, the reverb might be less or no wet or a completely different type. This issue usually refers to too little reverb (too dry) or too much reverb (too wet). Key rule of thumb: Don't forget to have reverb handy. You might need it. Keep your wet low in the middle of a vocal depending on what you're trying to do (think 3-5% wet or - on the low side
- Vocals or other elements slightly too loud or soft: Self-explanatory, this is usually an issue where elements should be the right volume for elements to work well together.
- Vocals or other elements drowned out/don't gel due to hypercompression: This usually happens when using a vocal not from an EDM, hyperpop, hard rock, or other genre where there is hypercompression but no matter how much volume amount you try elements like vocals don't gel and compete for space in the mid range. Two common techniques take the form of adding more compression to a vocal to stand up to an hypercompressed instrumental and/or reducing mid band EQ of the other source (which could come from sidechaining). For the added compression, it tends to be done with either multiple compressors in series (e.g. two compressors using low threshold + high ratio and high threshold + low ratio) or through various guitar distortion plugins on settings meant for vocals (e.g. Camelcrusher with British Clean or certain presets of OTT). Don't be afraid to experiment.
- Master too loud or soft for the genre: This usually takes the form of using limiters and other effects to make certain tracks too loud for the genre intended, or not using anything at all and the track is too soft for the genre/commercial sound. This can come down to taste, but how a track was produced can affect how loud you master. Mileage will vary; listen to how loud tracks are made and emulate your favorites assuming nothing too egregious.
- Stereo issues: This can happen if there are elements out of phase when trying to combine mono and stereo or applying other effects. It's a bit more difficult to diagnose, but one rule of thumb is to test your overall track on different playback systems (from headphones to big speakers and even your phone or small bluetooth speaker which will effectively test mono depending on the device).
