Because they’re effecfively measuring the change in the students’ performance in the STROOP and ADD tests before and after a heat wave, baseline factors such as wealth and income should be controlled for.
They note in the results that in the initial tests there was no significant difference between both groups’ results.
This is an amazing list. I will +1 Dexed cos FM is great, and add a few more music production apps to the list.
BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover - A great all-in-one orchestral vst with decent samples. Great for people wanting to bridge the gap between writing with sections and writing for specific instruments. Lacks articulations like Legato and Marcato, but is ridiculously good for the price of jack shit
SPAN - An excellent mixing and mastering vst that gives you a highly configurable fft spectrum analyzer, with a few presets for translation checks. My favorite feature is the correlation meter, which helps me visually check interference in stereo mixes
Kontakt free library - Has some solid samples for a selection of instruments, but I mostly use the Jazz Guitar and Bass Guitar from here for basic sketching
Equalizer APO - System wide EQ. Extremely configurable. I’ve since hopped over to SoundID Reference, but prior to that, I was using this. It’s great for making all your headphones and speakers sound like any other pair of headphones, and there’s a huge library of headphone presets that tell you how to get a neutral signature on just about any pair of them
I feel that. I have a pair of Shure SRH940s that are perfect in every way, except the material was so fragile, that the band split in half completely. I really need to get around to transplanting the internals of that…
Honestly the average user should probably go wireless. The convenience factor is huge, and most of these new headphones come with active noise cancelling.
The average pair of wireless headphones is also good enough for casual listening (depending on codec) and can come pretty close to wired solutions.
That said, I would never go for wireless on ear/over ear headphones again. The more features something has, the harder it is to fix when something breaks.
My wireless solution is a set of mmcx in ear monitors connected via Bluetooth adapter. Even without active noise cancellation, they block out sound well. For desktop my job requires critical listening, and I like neutral signatures, so I’d rather stick to desktop monitors and wired solutions.
So I’ve been reading through this study and comparing it to modern health advice. For the most part, the 22% of energy threshold seems to be above 1.2-1.6 grams of protein per kg of body weight (for active individuals).
The functional advice is: following the guidelines from the FDA will keep you out of the risks outlined in the study.
