When it comes to recording microphones, 24-bit memory is more than you’ll ever need. — I’ve been on a mission to enlighten prospective buyers of audio recording equipment that 32-bit float does not prevent clipping, or in any way, improve the fidelity of microphones recorded in 24-bit fixed. 32-bit float has a benefit, and a trade-off, which are worth keeping mind after you record an…

Why Most Humans Avoid The Subject Of Climate Change — Here on Medium, B, Richard Crim, Mitch, Alan Urban and others write about the affects of greenhouse gases and other changes to our environment. Their audience remains miniscule. Why? Sure, there are star-writers with 100,000+ followers who cover climate change, but their focus is political. New Englanders vs Texans. …
