<p>As a general rule, when an instrument just doesn’t work by itself, pair it with another instrument to perform the same melody, and pan it similarly.</p>
<ul>
<li>ex. Take me to the pilot does a good job of this with 2 different string parts playing the same hook melody. It thickens out the sound and makes it more believable</li>
<li>So if you have a lead melody part, always ask: is this instrument doing justice to it, or does it perhaps need a hand pushing the melody?</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="phasing">Phasing<a aria-hidden="true" class="anchor-heading icon-link" href="#phasing"></a></h2>
<p>"phase" describes how in-sync soundwaves are with each other.</p>
<ul>
<li>how off-set the waves are with each other can be described in degrees
<ul>
<li>0° means perfectly in phase; 180° means out of phase.
<ul>
<li>when out of phase, the 2 soundwaves will cancel when mixed together, making no sound (<em>"phase cancellation"</em>).</li>
<li>when in phase, the 2 soundwaves will reinforce each other and the result will be louder.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

<p>The phase cancellation between two signals matters more for lower freqency sounds.</p>

<p>To avoid phase cancellation, Microphones should never be within 3x the distance that the microphone is from the sound source. </p>
<ul>
<li>ex. If we have a microphone 1 foot away from the strings of a piano, any additional microphones should be at least 3 feet away from the first microphone.</li>
<li>note: this seems to be contradicted by the Reddit explanation above, so take it with a grain of salt</li>

thoughts-on


Welcome to my Second Brain! Here you'll find thoughts, lessons, facts and any other interesting musings that I've come across or thought up over the years. A lot of what I have gathered is originally from the minds of others, while some of it originates from myself. Some notes may contain misinformation, though I try to be rigorous with my additions.

What I have here does not necessarily reflect my thoughts and views. I collect information not based upon whether I agree with it or not, but rather when I determine it to contain some value that can be served in the future.  

You can think of this collection of inter-linked notes as my personal wiki.

This Dendron notebook is the sister vault to the tech-focused [Digital Garden](https://tech.kyletycholiz.com)

## Tags
Throughout the Second Brain, I have made use of tags, which give semantic meaning to the pieces of information.

- `ex.` - Denotes an *example* of the preceding piece of information
- `spec:` - Specifies that the preceding information has some degree of *speculation* to it, and may not be 100% factual. Ideally this gets clarified over time as my understanding develops. I try to go back after I have better understood the topic and clear out the notes of `spec:` tags
- `anal:` - Denotes an *analogy* of the preceding information. When I can, I attempt to link concepts to others that I have previously learned.
- `mn:` - Denotes a *mnemonic* to aid in memorization
- `expl:` - Denotes an *explanation*

## Resources
### UE (Unexamined) Resources
Often, I come across sources of information that I believe to be high-quality. They may be recommendations or found in some other way. No matter their origin, I may be in a position where I don't have the time to fully examine them (and properly extract notes), or I may not require the information at that moment in time. In cases like these, I will add reference to a section of the note called **UE Resources**. The idea is that in the future when I am ready to examine them, I have a list of resources that I can start with. This is an alternative approach to compiling browser bookmarks, which I've found can quickly become untenable.

### E (Examined) Resources
Once a resource has been thoroughly examined and has been mined for notes, it will be moved from *UE Resources* to *E Resources*. This is to indicate that (in my own estimation), there is nothing more to be gained from the resource that is not already in the note.

### Resources
This heading is for inexhaustible resources. 
- A prime example would be a quality website that continually posts articles- another example would be a tool, such as software that measures frequencies in a room to help acoustically treat it.
