is that you get to use lots of cool words:

• phantom power
• pop shield
• crossfade
• cannon jack
• sidechain

All of these are very exciting words that would you wouldn't get to use normally

What is cannon jack?

A bizarre name for XLR?

Uh, Cannon Jack is this guy...



Apparently I'm still getting used to these exciting new words. Phantom! Woo!

• standing waves
• phasing
• digital clipping

These are some of the coolest words ever [/rant]

I've had these as part of my vocabulary for long enough that I don't really think about the cool factor of the language used. I do like when technicaly terms are used as adjectives to name something by. Binaural and Near-coincident are two I can think of.

I like using words such as Compounder, spectural analyzer and multi band compressor... even tho I very rarely actually use any of that stuff...

I always enjoyed it when my teacher said attenuate...

spectural analyzer

that's a good one

what does it do? haha

have you seen the spectograph from aphex twin song 'equation'?



it sounds horrible.

There's some software were you can either draw into it, or upload a picture and it makes a waveform based on it like that. A mate did one and it sounded like the old internet dial tone.

There technology for blind people that uses a camera mounted on glasses, headphones and software that does that with video frames. It allows them not to see but more to detect how close things are in a certain direction.

Max/ MSP, I believe...

And there I was thinking Aphex Twin is a demented genius.

Oh wait, he is a demented genius.

Phantom Power comes off extremely poofy outside the studio.
