Is that the other thread just for broadcasted/official match talking? I see you kept that related posts only.

Not that it looks like there's a lot of people willing to talk about sport in a general way.

Depressing thread btw.

8 hours at work with no chance to look over the forum and i lose all the fun :( Guily honestly, we're at the 6th 7th page and you still claim the same arguments you were claiming at page 1. With no knowledge to back them.

It was worthy to read through for the tech enlightenment posts by Blue anyway.

Hmmm I made the mistake of recording with sound, but I want to have music. So when I play the video the music stops and I hear AA sound. Is there any way to really delete the sound of a mp4? I mean not only mute but just delete it?

The video should have a separated audio track, take that off and replace it with the one you want.

Or maybe i recall that from an older version of MovieMaker (the one from Win7 doesnt look capable of the above).

Are you trying to set the record for placing genitalia related terms in every possible (unrelated) statement or what?

Meh, all of my music is mp3. I've heard FLAC files, and they do sound better, but it's not really worth it for the file size. Not to mention my Zune doesn't support FLAC files. I get no more enjoyment out of FLAC files than I do out of high quality MP3 files (320kbps) The difference is there, but I'm not going to waste a ton of space for a small quality increase. It's also all about convenience. My Zune doesn't support FLAC files, and even if it did, it wouldn't have enough room to hold my entire music collection. That is a big problem. And even if it did, I'm not willing to spend hundreds on headphones just to hear the quality increase FLAC brings. It doesn't make sense.

As for speakers, I don't know much about them. The only speakers I have is a Kicker ZK350 Zune dock and 4 new speakers I just bought for my car. 2 rear Rockford 6x9 speakers and 2 front Kenwood 6.5 speakers(old ones sounded like shit). No need for a subwoofer as I don't listen to anything that is supposed to be bass heavy. My speakers provide way more than enough bass.  You can talk about how they aren't the best quality all you want, but they sound great to me and I didn't spend all that much money. I think the same thing applies to these computer sound cards. Sure they may not be the best like some claim, but I'm willing to bet they cost much less than the super high end amps and what not. It's all about value for your money.

It's just a matter of sound quality across the line from the source to the output peripheral of choice, if you have something that can render out a Flac in a faithful way, then you would notice the difference, otherwise you wouldn't notice a huge difference between that and a 160hz sampled mp3.

On the other hand it also matters what kind of music you listen of course.

Well about creative they claim...


"Creative’s Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio gives an experience beyond studio quality with MP3 music and movies! Featuring award-winning X-Fi technologies, X-Fi Crystalizer restores the details and vibrance lost during MP3 and DIVX compression, breathing life back into any audio, while X-Fi CMSS-3D expands stereo music and movies into amazing surround sound. Effective over virtually any speakers, including stereo speakers, Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio even provides unbelievable surround sound over normal headphones!"

That's what I was saying... it's not entirely 100% true, but it does effect, the cpu changed the modulation, it kinda makes the bass sound lower frequency and the highs sound very high.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Visual example for a comparable concept of loosing details in a block of data, no matter it being an image, a sound clip, or even text, for what it matters.

Starting only with the image on the right, do you think you can precisely take back any detail (even 1 pixel) of the original image on the left? You can't, because you just don't have the data. You can even fake or do a process called pixel binning to simulate a more accurate representation, but it's where all it ends. You can fake a wider representation of a sound clip but it will sound for what it is, a distort rendition in comparison to the original.

The difference is, sports is just people being competitive. Music and movies are about telling a story with emotional connections you can relate to. Which is why most people have favorite genre's they enjoy. There's a huge difference in being actively competitive versus watching other people being competitive. The latter is useless.

OMG he dropped the ball... OMG he hit the ball... useless.

Well competitive sport playing is calling that way for a reason, now if we were to discuss about practising sports that would be a different matter but i'm not aware of how many actually do play any kind of sport amongst us (i would be the first not raising a hand, i'm not a terrible sport lover but it's just the mix of everyday job and lack of interest that took me off). Sport playing doesn't need to be competitive but just in the measure of what it means to you, accepting yourself and not getting overcompetitive with your own body. Which usually is not a vivid bright border line across.

@ Spanky: take a look at some athletics trials, some athletics disciplines requires the most beautiful coordinating you can see over sports ones. I actually practiced a little high jumping ages ago, its fun.

SPORTS ARE CONTROLLED BY THE ILLUMINATI

Such an obvious funny derailing attempt.

Anyway the consequence of having a complete good amplifier or sound card is having a good system to listen it through. You might hear the difference even with budget equipment but you won't make great use of it.

Using 3rd party code and card memory to create a 3D sound environment when you can use system memory avoiding messing with Creative poor drivers ...how can that sound not overcomplicated. Are they calling theirselves Creative for the way they plan and design products? xD

I've done already about 60 km today with the "new" filter on, it doesn't seems to behave in a different way except for a better response at the low revs - but the again, the old paper filter was dirty so...

The engine should be able to adjust up to a certain point by itself - electronic injection, no carbs. Later this week ill check the spark plug to see if it runs lean, too rich or whatnot.

what benefits are there of having vsync off if ur screens capped @ 60?
idk I never worried about it on any of my games, I needed my AA loading screens at 250 fps otherwise I wouldnt have been good

Vsync on - cutting performances in half (if you graphic card/cpu was able to render more than 60 frames per second you hardly have to worry about). Instead, if you were running at 40fps before, behold! You now run at 20s.

Vsync off - if you have a decently modern system the graphic card/cpu smokes a cig while rendering your fabulous screens.

spanky wont tell me how to overclock my 1090T cos hes afraid

Afraid that you might fire the chip up to Mars while overclocking? :D however it's so easy it's almost straightforward. Just go a few mhz at a time, let's say starting from 3600/3700 and then trying steps of 50mhz. That cpu even has an unblocked multiplier so it's a sweeter experience too :)

Vsync is useless unless you know for sure your GPU can always render more than 60 fps (or your refresh rate) in ALL situations. It's only used to stop displaying partial rendered frames which are most visible during fast panning/rotation.

Why are we talking about refresh rate? This is about console text size.

Well, considering that in AA the most of the work is done by the Cpu (using a single core at a time), the game will always have some hiccups, even if you run on the best rig assembled yesterday. Sure it is a matter of visual quality, tearing can be awful.

Yep, i actually took a look at K&N's filters, it seems like they don't even have a design for the Honda Pantheon/fes/silver wing 125cc. Btw they sure last a lifetime but they're priced accordingly (couldn't find one cheaper than 70 € = 100 soundy bucks).

However i've already done the modding, cutting out the paper and cleaning the place, and installing the foam. There was so much space that i was able to fit in 2 pieces of foam, one on top of the other- very much like wearing 2 condoms xD not that useful but well, lol (the foam it's double layered already).

The old paper filtering element was quite dirty and clogged, now there's quite a difference in response, better than before at most revs (obviously the different filtering material helps too).
