I agree being RSS and Atom feeds useless... but podcast? i don't think so, it's quite useful especially if you're running a tipping sites, subscribers would prefer hearing and seeing what you have to say than reading what you wrote

Podcasts are useless just like RSS and Atom feeds. People prefer torrents and direct downloads (via web browsers or download managers).

I've always enjoyed myths and real stories. I find them very interesting and catchy. I personally believed that it was all a myth in the first place. But its good to finally know now.

Recently 12Seconds.tv announced that they are adding mp4 enclosures into their RSS feeds, allowing their users to submit their feeds into iTunes.

Re: What is a Mix Minus?

Rick, as for the first part, I'll leave that to Rob.

As for your other question, we do double end the show & use Skype to talk to each other. Using Dropbox, Rob sent me the files, and when it was time to play them out, he just did a countdown (which he obviously edited out). Everything synched up in the end.

Wow, thanks for the royal treatment, guys!
One thing, though: in the samples of the music with Brad Sucks (I hope not his real name — "Mr. and Mrs. Sucks, congratulations, it's a boy"), when you flipped the phase of one channel in the stereo playback, I swear I couldn't tell the difference. (I don't doubt there was one.) Then I realized, this is the equivalent of you putting a 1000hz tone in both my ears, but reversing the phase of one channel, and expecting them to cancel each other out IN MY BRAIN. (You didn't try that experiment, but kept the tones mono.) Only in a mono mix were the two channels (one with reversed phase) actually doing something to each other. In the mono mix of the music, the effect was dramatic, and just like I remembered. I think you only really get the cancellation effect in mono. I'm sure that's what my friend did in the 70s with analog gear.
Also, if you guys are recording your podcast double-ended, how did you get Chris to react to the samples? How could he hear them in stereo in Skype? Or did Rob send them to him ahead of time? Just wondering.

We'll be talking about this in a future episode. Thanks for the idea! What you're talking about is possible, and we'll show you how in a future episode.

Guys, have you ever heard of this? Once in the mid-70s I heard someone play a pop song in stereo in a way that supressed the main vocals until they were almost gone. (A poor man's karaoke, before it hit the States.) He didn't fiddle with the recording (I think it was right off a vinyl record). I couldn't imagine how he accomplished this. He explained that with two tracks, you can produce any of four different signals: the left channel; the right channel; left plus right, a monaural mix; and left MINUS right, letting you hear instruments that were panned over to one side or the other, but since the two sides cancelled each other out, the instruments that were featured in stereo center (such as vocals) would nearly vanish. He discovered this by accident, fiddling with the output wires. He said it didn't work well with album-oriented rock, where the vocals were panning all over the place for artistic reasons, but was very effective with formulaic pop songs, that put the vocal at stereo center as a matter of course. This technique is what was behind the whole quadrophonic sound craze, so he said.
Anyway, that's what I thought you were going to reveal as having the technical name "mix minus." Have you ever heard of this? Was that guy just pulling my leg?

I agree with Gavin- Awesome Stuff! I am not even into photography, and I love this!

Re: All About ISO

tibbon — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 02:12:59 -0000

I wouldn't have thought listening that I'd learn that much more about photography, as I consider myself pretty knowledgeable, but you got me stumped on several things. I had no idea what the actual ISO standard numbers were, and had no idea how to calculate it.

Rob, what's the gated sounding buzz that I'm hearing on both of the mics (really soft)? Compressor kicking in a bit hard? Otherwise its sounding pretty great.

Ooooh! A new episode! I'll go listen to it now. I love the media science conversation so far. You guys could teach this as a college course.

Another rock-solid show, guys! I learn something every time I listen. You're really building a great library of media fundamentals. Keep up the awesome work.

Re: What is Amplitude?

createconsumedelete — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 02:24:11 -0000

The lower frequencies move more air because of the amount of air that has to be moved to make the sound in the first place. A high pitched sound moves small amounts of air. Even if it moves that air quite a bit, you'll never feel it against your chest because of the wavelength of the sound.

The high pitched voice and low end bass are powerful i different ways. That's my cop out, mostly because I'm not 100% sure what the answer is.

1. This would be a lot cooler if there was a link to leave a comment on the front page (just sayin' email if you want a hand).

2. Now onto the subject. Why if we have a low amplitude sound, that has a low frequency, and it displaces less air, (like a base drum) does it make a larger impact on our physical body (the thump in your chest) than a high high frequency, high amplitude sound?

As an aside it has recently been discovered that loud base can collapse a lung (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/... and a high pitch voice can break a glass. At the same volume, which is more powerful?

Hey guys! I'm listening right now. Just wanted to tell you that you both have perfect radio/podcast names. The whole thing sounds mega-polished, and I can't wait to see where you go with it! Awesome job, you media couche-tards.
