Audio editing
Sound check,….
Less glamorous than it sounds. I'm going through the audio of a video and removing strange speaking and breathing sounds that you never notice in live conversation, but are super noticeable when recorded with a microphone.

Looking for a new radio, as I managed to sell my main one yesterday. ... which was a bit of a surprise. Not sure I want to deal with an external tuner on the next one,.. but just means more up front...
It's between these:
FT-991A ALL-BAND, MULTIMODE PORTABLE TRANSCEIVER
or
FT-891 HF+50Mhz ALL MODE MOBILE TRANSCEIVER
I would need a tuner to go with the FT-891, whereas the FT-991A has it internal. It's been a long time (cir 2000) since I bought a new primary radio,... it's over due...

What kind of radios are those? CB?
I'd definitely go with the 991A if it's got the tuner built in.

@gjacobse 991A for me but then again I do weak signal VHF work. I'm saving up for an Icom 705 to be my next primary rig. Also check out the Icom 7300's many of our club members have them and absolutely love them even the non Icom gang.

Haven't posted here in forever. I see @scottalanmiller has relocated out of country?

GASP He said Ceee Bee... GAH
Hahaha - Amateur Radio or Ham Radio. Likely the route I'll go is the 991A, as as stated,... it has the internal tuner. And beats having to manually tune things as I had been.

I've thought about the IC-705 also... I've seen some reviews and such for it,.. and the 7300. Both are solid radios - Icom and Yeasu both are solid radios. I just have Yeasu for HF - so... but I may convert. I am looking that the Yeasu FTM-400DR for in the truck when I pull the Kenwood out.

Ham Radio, gotcha. Runs in the family, lol.
(My older sister in that pic, Grampa's Ham in the background. Built it himself. I think Pops still has it at the house).

I feel your pain. Started an hour early, came in to a 3 hour meeting, lunch at my desk, and still going. Been pouring various forms of caffeine on it all day today... not helping.

I just put long pants on for the first time since March (just a guess). After 2 days of rain, the wind came and pushed away the clouds and now it's friggin downright chilly! Well, 63F feels chilly after 90+ degree days for 5 months.

Oh, what a lovely morning! 53F when I walked outside, but you can't fool me, Georgia weather... I brought shorts to deal with the 25+ degree temperature change.

Even though it won't last, I'll take the this morning's breath of crisp air

IT department from a restaurant I support called in this morning - They are moving everything to their domain - YAY right?
no. It's horrible -
Anyway - we get all terms on the domain and I think everything is working.
except theres a terminal that wont load the POS - it's a known error so I run the fixes that I know - still nothing.
It's been 3 hours that I've been working on this.
Also - the guy at the site I'm working with says and I quote ;
"Im gonna call it a day, it's 3:50 and I get off in 10 minutes. So you can do what ever you want, but call me in the morning and we can try some more stuff."
after that I didn't hear from him again, while I'm still trying different fixes and talking it through with people I work with, right? But the domain is so locked out (good for security not for little guy me over here trying to fix a terminal) I can't do anything at all - they were providing credentials for me to do the things i want.So these guys just break shit and go home? Love it. then leave me stranded with no credentials - never told us ahead of time so I had to figure a bunch of shit out on the fly today and we're so backed up on calls, I'm still making them after hours - luckily im the on call guy.
Happy 4th monday of the week.
