Game Pass pricing currently unchanged.

That is because the job of Game Pass isn't to make money, it is to funnel customers into subscription services and destroy the idea that people buy games from artists.

Game Pass either succeeds and destroys the gaming industry like spotify did to music or Microsoft will abandon Game Pass.

Yeah, you need a gate when adding in the inversed/phase shifted tone so that it only sends signal when their is signal to cancel, but that is a frequency dependent question too..

  1. Make two identical copies of gausian noise track

  2. Set one phase inverted and combine both tracks output in a bus/another track, they should cancel each other into silence.

  3. Send the tone track (preferably inverted) into the bus aswell so now it has 3 inputs,

  4. Add in another tone track that is phase inverted/opposite from step 3 and mixes together with step 3s output

Now, where the fun comes in... what happens when you add fx to different parts of the signal chain so these cancellations become imperfectly dynamic and evolving. What happens when the signals cancelling have compressors with different attack and release settings? What happens when you throw a transient designer like elysia nvelope on different stages of this signal chain?

This kind of effect isn't too unlike a basic guitar pedal comb filter just a lot more unhinged.

Vultures have been shown to be vital in reducing the spread of disease by scavenging, don't drag them through the mud by comparing them to freeloading criminals wearing suits that cost more than your car.

It would make way more sense for Stargate cosplayers to be at a renfaire since every single planet they went to on that series seemed to have villagers at about the renaissance level of technology (gotta wonder, did they have access to a bunch of medieval/renaissance sets for cheap lol?).

Of course, if you went as Stargate cosplayers you would have to basically dress up as para military wannabe chuds who’s personalities revolve around owning useless guns (like sword person who is obsessed with swords but way less fun) and being a bigot. People might not even recognize you are in costume and just assume you are a bunch of losers who express their freedom by going to renfaires carrying around murder weapons and dressing in tactical gear.

sigh

…better to go as the Star Trek cosplayers lol.
