#The Polywave

[the-masquerade-council]

Monowavermory/Monowaverous - Ambiwavermory/Ambiwaverous -Polywavermory/Polywaverous

monowavermory(shortened as monowave) Ability and desire to have only one wavership at a time. Monoamorous for waverships.

ambiwavermory(shortened as ambiwave) Ability and desire to have both monoamorous and polyamorous waverships with little to no preference between the two. Ambiamorous for waverships.

polywavermory(shortened as polywave) Ability and desire to have multiple waverships at a time. Polyamorous for waverships.

Obviously some one who desires waverships could just used the terms monoamorous/ambiamorous/polyamorous, these were just made as additional labels.

Sound Tech Recce (01/03/23)

On the 1st March, our group (Lifeline) held a lighting rehearsal/sound tech recce at our location, a telephone box on Bruntsfield Links. As HoD of sound, my objective for this was to practise using the MixPre’s Advanced Mode, in which you can use multiple mics to create a polywav.

After a massive upheaval of equipment, we finally made it to Bruntsfield Links. As other set up lighting and camera kit, I worked on getting the boom set up - which proved slightly more difficult considering we forgot to book the boom pole… lolz In the end it was fine, as Ivan humbly stepped into the role of human boom pole. After this, I synced and set up the radio mic, fitting this on to our stand-in, Sophie. The rest of my night was spent getting comfortable adjusting the gains of individual tracks in Advanced mode, soloing these etc.

Once home, I transferred the sound files onto my computer and opened them up in ProTools. Here, I tried to checkerboard and decipher which track was what mic by listening. Overall, I feel very prepared for the shoot and excited to push myself beyond my comfort zone in terms of both sound recording and design!

i just found a gender term that i like because 1. it applies to me. it applies so fucking goddamn hard to me. and 2. what a GOOD fucking name it has. i love that fucking name. fuck. love this name. (source is this)

Flight Rising dragon relationships Didn't want to put this in the previous post with the Fae ramble so it's getting its own post. Most of my clans pairs consist of dragons that have choosen a lifelong partner they're bonded with. Some are aesthetic pairs that don't nest. Some are queer pairs that cannot nest. There are even queer pairs that can nest, but choose not to. Being a hatchling-free is fine. Aside from strictly romantic pairs, there are also bonded dragons who are strictly platonic. They may live together and enjoy each others company, do some coupley stuff since they're close, but don't care for or percieve it as romantic gestures. Recently got a poly pair and the three of them are bonded. They nest in a rotating cycle since they're a project pair (2m, 1f) They're a synthwave/retrowave pair I've collectively nicknamed polywave. I'd love to hear about how pairs work in other clans too!

New studio for today!!! #smem so so good 😊 in good company with #prophet 5 #moog #oberheim #juno #polywave #studios #playroom #recordings #recordingsession #jam #factinstabeats #musicislife https://www.instagram.com/p/BtY0m16heD4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=f66dydsgywf2

[genderthaumiel]

I’m always non-binary, but sometimes a man and sometimes a woman. Do you have any idea what this could be?? Also, I identify with xenogenders.

if youre nonbinary (at any point) youre allowed to describe yourself as just nonbinary if you want (even if youre also a man and/or a woman). you can also say that youre nonbinary, man, woman, (and xenogender) without any other labels, if that feels right to you.

its possible to use any combination of these genders (like if you want to say youre nonbinary and bigender man-woman, thats a thing)

you could also say that youre trigender, (three genders, in your case nonbinary, man, and woman) quadgender, (four genders, enb, man, woman, xeno) or polygender/multigender (multiple genders). 

and without further ado, heres some terms i was able to find:

Polywave: where you feel multiple gender identities that each change in strength and intensity at different times [coining post]

Proplydian/Proplydgender: where you have a distinct “core” gender/gender identity, and then a “disk” of many other [xeno]genders that surround it, like a young/protostar and its protoplanetary disk. [coining post]

Distatic: referring to a bigender experience where one gender is static while the other is fluid. [coining post] (could be changed to fit three/four/multiple genders, i think)

Endogender: Having a fluid and/or fluctuating gender, but always being at least partially aligned to a given gender or gender(s). [definition post]

Polinumgender: A fluid polygender identity where one experiences multiple genders, but the amount of genders one experiences is constantly in motion. [coining post]

Ambonec: being both Male and Female, but neither simultaneously. [definition post]

Femache: a simultaneous male-female gender experience. [coining post]

Mesobinary: a word for those who relate to having an experience of both binary genders, or to having an experience of being in-between binary genders [more info]

Binaryfluid/Mesofluid (poly/multibinaryfluid): A gender that is fluid between both Male and Female and/or does not having stark boundary between the two; flowing between both binary genders freely. [coining post] [alt coining/flag]

theres also oxigenders (@/oxigenders) which are “mostly x, partially y, and a bit z” which might work (like in your case it could be mostly nonbinary, partially xeno, a bit man-woman. or whichever way you personally think of your gender)

i hope this helps! have a good day/night (o^▽^o)

[letsdiscussrobots-blog]

What would be the perfect date for Soundwave/Shockwave/human poly?

Both of them would prefer a night in. You’d probably do something like watch a documentary on a subject all of you are interested or play cards. Nothing too fancy. If it’s a special occasion they’ll bring you flowers.Usually Soundwave is more cuddly that Shockwave, but if he’s in just the right mood you can sit on the mono-boob.

Film Narrative 2 - Post Production Sound Workshop

General Sound:

The Audio-Visual Contract = The way that audio and visuals work together when moving image is paired with sound.

Directors paired with great sound designers make great films. As do directors and writers who work with sound in mind. Basically, Sound is super important, but neither sound nor visuals are more important than the other.

Frank Warner had one of the largest sound libraries at the time when he worked with Scorsese on Raging Bull (1980)

Sound design can create emotion and give subconscious clues.

Never underestimate animal sounds, even if it isn’t an animal sound that you are using them for. Sounds are very versatile and don’t have to be what you are using them for.

“The richest sound I have to offer is nothing.” - Frank Warner. Basically, the absence of sound is just as important.

Lower frequencies are more subtle and have less directionality.

Try mixing sounds together, even if you wouldn't expect the combination.

Choice of score sets the tone of a film.

Sound can link places together between shots. Creating continuity.

Sound can tell us what is happening beyond the frame.

Try illogical things as sometimes they work.

It’s not just about what we hear, but also what we don’t hear.

ProTools Workshop:

Types of File:

ptx file - the edit. Name it ‘nameoffilm,whatyouaredoing,date’ example: swingsandroundaboutsdialogueedit21032020 . It seems long and ridiculous, but as an organisational tool it makes sense.

Bounce Files - These are uneditable, all of the sound has been combined and is stereo.

Session Backup Files - ProTools is saving session backups as you work. This is a lifesaver if you have any unexpected issues and ProTools gets shut down without you being able to save. Its not perfect, but at least you don’t lose all the work you have done.

Dialogue Editing:

When switching on ProTools, remember PIMS. Peripherals, Interface, Mac, Speakers

Polywav - Multiple audio tracks in one file.

Because sound files are relatively small, you can ‘copy from source media’. Always copy, do not link. That way you won’t end up losing files in your edit if you move the files around.

You should be working in 25fps, 24bit, 48kHz

When you open your Ptx file, you should always check to make sure nothing is missing. Once you are sure you have everything you need, then you can start editing.

You can then import the video.

You shouldn’t rename files. But if you really must, use Wave Agent.

Checkerboard your audio. This means you are creating new tracks, with a track for each character, production sound, and atmos. This will allow you to piece together the audio and visually see what everything is.

It is helpful to set your tracks to different colours depending on what they are. This allows you to tell what a track is at a glance.

ProTools Shortcuts:

Cmd= - opens the edit window and allows you to go between the edit and mix windows.

ctrl - hold this whilst moving things and it will lock it in place in the timeline, but still allow you to move it between different tracks.

R - Zoom out

T - Zoom in

B - Break. Basically putting a cut in the audio.

Recommendations:

Films:

Raging Bull - Martin Scorsese

Wee Three - Matt Hulse

Copy Shop - Virgil Widrich

Hukkle - György Pálfi (This was a graduation film and it is amazing!)

Tierra Y Pan - Carlos Armella

Son of Saul - László Nemes

Noise noise noise!

My voice is incorporated in a sound piece played on Austrian national radio by my old friend and genuis behind the Haters noise band I was a part of back in the day GX Jupitter-Larsen. Here's a quote from him on the piece:

“Friends About The Polywave is a roll-call of my closest friends, those who had the most positive affect on my life. Originally done as part of a sound installation at the Coaxial Arts Center in Los Angeles in the summer of 2018, this re-mix for Kunstradio includes additional names and voices. We are the sum of those we meet in life. This is our relationship to the world. This is how we can measure how we live…”

Rodecaster Pro II: 11 Things I Like About it and 6 Things I Don't

The Rodecaster Pro II is the new device from Rode. Today I compare it to the Rodecaster Pro I along with some other devices. This device is $700 and (IMHO) not for someone who is just doing some casual interviews via zoom. Feel free to follow/subscribe, and check out any of the other 833 episodes I have. 

SPONSOR: Focusrite The Vocaster Series Made For Podcasters

Learn more at: Focusrite.com/Vocaster 

Things I Like About the Rodcaster II

It is an interface, recorder, headphone amplifier, and jingle palet all on one

They make updating the firmware (and there WILL BE UPDATEs) INSANELY Easy.

Super QUiet Preamps

Automatic Monitor Muting

Smartpads now play sounds, control midi devices, and add effects

Only record the channels you need (FINALLY!)

No More Polywave

Ability to put the unit on a stand and get it off your desk

USB C Electric input which makes it easy to run on batteries.

Flexible input assignments and color coding

In addition to Aphex processing, new 3-band EQ

THINGS THAT ANNOY ME

Multiple outputs are confusing and seem to change without me doing anything. I need the ability to turn on and off mix-minus. This is available on USB2, but if I am using (only) that option when I fire up the software on my computer, it won't connect to the unit because I'm not on USB 1. If I want to tie this into my DAW, tracks 1 and 2 are the stereo mix. This means my first slider is #3.

The fader features fades out for X amount of seconds and keeps everything faded out. After the X amount of time it should unfade everything. This is an easy one to trip over.

Set the Lights Brightness level sounds great, but I couldn't tell a channel was muted because the lights were so dim. This is (again) operator error, but frustrating.

Loss of count down number is replaced with a pie chart. Those with older eyesight prefer large numbers. 

I am required to take the cover off to turn the unit off. I use to be able to press the on off button twice and leave the cover on.

Loss way to have a CONNECTED phone call. ON the ROdecaster 1, I could plug in a TRRS cable and the phone did everything like usual. Now if I want to make a phone call, I HAVE to use Bluetooth. When I plugged in the SC19 cable, the Rodecaster rebooted and the sound out of my phone was unusable. I was somewhat bummed after spending $30 on a cable, that I can't use it to make phone calls on my podcast without using Bluetooth. I need to remember to turn off Bluetooth on the unit as my phone keeps connecting to it. 

Comparing it to Some of the Competition

Zoom Podtrak P4

I refer to this as the swiss army of podcasting. It does everything. It is an interface and a recorder, headphone amp, and jingle player, and it comes in at $200ish. Yes the preamps won't be as steller, but as you heard today the hiss is minimal in some cases. 

Focusrite Vocaster

This unit is NOT a recorder, but setting it up and recording into software is super easy. You can send the main outs to a recorder, connect via blue tooth or WIRED TRRS cable. The "2" has blue tooth and output to go to your camera. This one wins the "I need something easy" conversation.

Rodecaster Pro II

This is for live streamers who want that audio processing to go out on the video as they record it (no post-production). They want to play sounds/music and have flexible configurations.

Final Thoughts

While the Rodecaster Pro II currently drives me a little nuts, I'm not worried. Rod has done a great job communicating with their users and has already made videos on future updates (to calm any fears). So while this current unit has me scratching my head, Rode has demonstrated they listen (the stand attachment on the back of the unit screams "We heard you want your desk back"). 

Don't Buy This If

Nobody is telling you your podcast sounds bad

You think this will solve plosives (it won't that is mic technique)

"I don't know, it sounds cool" (unless you have $700 in your couch cushion). 

You think this will help you grow your audience (again unless you have REALLY bad audio, it's the CONTENT that helps grow the audience). 

Join the School of Podcasting

When you join the School of Podcasting you can quit worrying about: Are people going to listen to me? (Yes, cause I'll show you how to see what they want). Am I going to sound stupid? (No, as I'll show you the magic of editing) It will cost a million dollars (No, I'll have you sounding like a million bucks without spending a million bucks).  I don't anything about this technology (You said the same thing about driving).  Get access to: Step-by-step tutorials, live group coaching, a mastermind group filled with brilliant podcasting minds,  and the ability (via a free app) to text me, send me video, audio, etc. It's unlimited time-shifted one-on-one consulting.
