    Audio is a solved technology, if your DAC and audio stack is good, i don't know what a physical EQ would offer over a software one.

      The only perfect "hardware" equalizers are in fact software equalizers running on dedicated computers.

      The electronic side is solved. Speakers and room acoustics are still very far from perfect.

      i can see one case where i myself wanted hardware eq real badly. lets say you recording bass heavy instrument (like neck pickup on guitar) and you want more SNR on it, because bass is too damn powerful, signal clips too early in ADC. so what you could do is use eq hardware to roll off some of the bass, and crank more of that gain for bigger signal and potentially less noise
      however when i was researching it, apparently not a lot of people share this idea. they fine with having just 24-bit audio interfaces that allow for bigger headroom to begin with

        You don't need a full EQ for that, just a simple high pass filter.

        yes, if you need more headroom, just record at 24bit (32bit is a thing as well, but 24 is enough for dam near anything)
        you should be recording and mixing at 24bit+ anyway, because it's basically free to do, and gives you a boatload of headroom to change things however you like without needing to worry about the noise floor

          Not it in hardware it isn't. Bits that record pure noise don't count.

            yea that's probably pushing it
            you do need to condition your signal coming in if it falls outside the useful range of your adc

            I don't know what you're trying to say, you're taking offense because someone made a crossdressing trap manga slice of life story where the characters motivations for dressing like a girl is because he has gender dysphoria and not because fanservice.

            that's what annoys me the most
            they're so hell-bent on gender stereotypes that there's no place for tomboys anymore, you have to either be 100% girl or 100% boy
            and they have the nerve to call US intolerant

            Anything less than 100% boy is basically female, as far as most people are concerned.

            i guess but every example i've seen didn't look close to underage
            the fact it's not ladymen doesn't mean much, tomboy can refer to any age as well

    "Gender affirming surgery" and "Gender confirmation surgery" are both grotesquely Orwellian phrases.

    Desiring castration and the installation of a stink ditch or tit removal and a Jimmy Dean sausage penis is not confirmation or affirmation of anything except the need for an emergency involuntary commitment to a mental hospital and a large dosage of antipsychotic and mood stabilizing medications.

      What about gender reassignment?

      >i'm a little different to the other girls
      >that means i need to conform completely to the sterotypical appearance and mannerisms of men
      ?????????????

      what was wrong with tomboys? they've been around forever and didn't need surgery
      before i'd just chalk it up to a typical teenage girl phase, it's normal for girls to delve into whatever is popular
      but when it comes to permanent bodily modification, i can't ignore that, this cannot be made normal, how do you grow out of a double mastectomy?

      What about gender reassignment?

      that's supposedly in your head, right? what's a surgeon going to do about something in your head?

            Hormone treatment causes clitoris growth, so most of them just call it a penis, which isn't far from the biological truth.

      >Orwellian
      I always found it funny how Orwell made O'Brien, the Irishman, into the evil totalitarian commie commisar, and Goldstein, the israelite, into the phony le resistance leader.
      He got it half right I guess. Silly Anglos just can't stop hating the Irish.

      Anyway transgender shit is almost entirely israeli. Only people at the low levels like SOME surgeons and their staff aren't. All the research institutions and leading political figures are. Read literally any book on the history of the movement and count the names.
