both my parents were EE (assistant +) professors 20 years ago or so, but i never got much of that and TBH and i never really got into DSP in that regard, but i understand a thing or two and i can certainly bash someone who makes a silly mistake, but i rather not in a direct way. so being on this list is mostly for the fun and in terms of debates and stuff i really don't care who wins... what i don't like about audio processing stuff is that it's quite commercial, because people sell branded, pretentious stuff and terminology which is absolute nonsense for an EE. a couple of years ago i posted a thread about the "niveou" filter of the "elysia - mpressor" product for which by looking merely at plots (and having a quick discussion with martin eisenberg (was it?) and rbj) looked like a hyper-advertised single pole detector stage tilt-eq, which is of course sounded "absolutely astounding" compared to other products out there. i much rather play with my other man-cave /slash/ grown-up hobby thing which is carpentry and believe it or not it gives you good gratification :)... flexing your brain from time to time is good and there is no doubt about that... lubomir -- -- dupswapdrop -- the music-dsp mailing list and website: subscription info, FAQ, source code archive, list archive, book reviews, dsp links http://music.columbia.edu/cmc/music-dsp http://music.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/music-dsp
