Show 313: Thinking Out Loud w/Friends of SoundBroker ZoomCast Show:  Please join me today on the panel with Devon Sheets to discuss the new Mac version of De-Feedback and the comparison of Source Intelligence from the L-Acoustics. I want to thank the following for appearing on the panel today and make this meeting such an enjoyable learning experience:  Bruce Fallis, Chris Cecil, Chris DiCorpo, Chris Nelson, Chris Russo, Curt Hare, David Dansky, David Elliott, Denis Canuck, Derek Miller, Devin Sheets, Duane Sheets, Fred Domenigoni, Gregory Baker, Gregory Woloszyn, Javi, John Lackner, Jorge Arronte, Ken Newman, Ken Porter, Marty Atias, Metalmax, Riley Arbuckle, Rob Robbins, Steve Gill, Tony Villarreal, Wayne Pierce Discussed during this meeting: D-Feedback and comparing it to L-Acoustics' new Source Intelligence product. Devin discussed the development of D-Feedback version 2, which will include more aggressive denoise capabilities, zero-latency blind de-echo functionality, and potential higher latency modes for better performance. The group extensively discussed the Mac version of D-Feedback, with Devin noting that while the AU format works well with 8 instances on a Mac Mini M4, it's still considered beta due to occasional sample drops. The conversation covered L-Acoustics' Source Intelligence, which requires L-Acoustics amplifiers and has a subscription model, limiting its utility for engineers working with different speaker systems. Devin also announced plans for a new surround up-mixing plugin called Easy UpMix that will convert stereo content to multi-channel output at zero latency, though specific parameters and compatibility details were not finalized. The meeting included discussions about various use cases for D-Feedback, including broadcast applications, intercom systems, and home recording scenarios, with several participants sharing positive experiences using the plugin in different environments.Gregory presented a report on AI data centers being built in Dubai and Saudi Arabia, highlighting concerns about submarine data cables in the region that could be damaged, potentially affecting 20% of global AI compute powerJorge reported successful testing of option 2 on an Intel Mac 2020 with four running instances over three days with zero drops, connected via USB to a DM3 with less than 5ms latency. Devin shared his experience running eight instances on a Mac Mini M4 over Dante with 6ms round trip latency, noting the affordability of the Mac Mini at $800 compared to other options. The discussion concluded with Ken raising questions about L-Acoustics' Source Intelligence feature, which requires specific networked amplifiers and is tied to L-Acoustics systems, making it expensive to implement.---Stop guessing and start growing.

The discussion explores the historical foundations of human rights through key thinkers like John Locke and Bartolomé de las Casas, while examining themes such as political humility, virtue ethics, duty vs. rights, and the impact of secularism on Western society. It also engages pressing topics including multiculturalism, shifting cultural identity in North America, and the rapid secularization of regions like Canada and Latin America. With insight drawn from philosophy, history, and Christian apologetics, this episode offers a robust, theologically grounded perspective on current events, equipping believers to think critically, live faithfully, and engage culture with clarity and conviction.DONATE LINK: https://toltogether.com/donate BOOK A SPEAKER: https://toltogether.com/book-a-speakerJOIN TOL CONNECT: https://toltogether.com/tol-connect TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.

Nathan Rittenhouse and Jonathan Brush dive into a deeply insightful discussion on Christian cultural decline, generational responsibility, and what must be rebuilt in the next 10 years. In this episode of Thinking Out Loud, Nathan and Jonathan explore why modern culture feels fragmented, why younger generations feel like they've inherited nothing of lasting value, and how Christian men—especially those in their 30s and 40s—can step into a crucial role of preserving, translating, and rebuilding biblical culture. Covering themes like discipleship, church leadership, family legacy, and the shift from an “answers-based” to a “questions-based” worldview, this conversation challenges believers to move beyond passivity and actively invest in the next generation. If you're seeking deep theological reflection on current cultural trends, Christian leadership, and how to build meaningful community rooted in faith, this episode offers both conviction and practical direction.DONATE LINK: https://toltogether.com/donate BOOK A SPEAKER: https://toltogether.com/book-a-speakerJOIN TOL CONNECT: https://toltogether.com/tol-connect TOL Connect is an online forum where TOL listeners can continue the conversation begun on the podcast.

One Last Time, Baconsale is going to be discussing 2010s pop stars. We have to Humble ourselves a little and Take Care during this tournament, because while we may not Treasure some of these artists, there are a Million Reasons why they're beloved by others. As we fill in each Blank Space on the bracket, there may be some Blurred Lines in our logic. Our arguments might also go in Circles as we're Thinking Out Loud. And we could be sitting in silence for FourFiveSeconds trying to make a decision. However, we'll do our best to exercise our Demons and stay Wide Awake as we're Rolling in the Deep discussions about this music.   Sorry, We Can't Stop with all these song title puns. Press play because This Is What You Came For.   And for some additional Cheap Thrills, download the advanced bracket at Baconsale.com.
