      I think the level of hilarity starts to show up when you have the understanding that almost every other word is utter nonsense, moreso than normal marketing gibberish. So, for those who are used to spouting gibberish, it's a regular day at the office. For us tech folk, it's like the dog turning his head sideways after hearing something like WTF did he just say??

  • @pixelsandtape7846
    @pixelsandtape7846 Год назад +45

    The Rockwell cabinet (yes, with the squeaky door) was an actual product. Mike Kraft did a regular corporate marketing video for it, and then we had extra time and made the Retroincabulator video as an internal “ice-breaker” for meetings.
    I was the editor on it.

    My great grandfather worked with Tesla (Nikola, not the electric car) on the ORIGINAL Encabulator - the predecessor to the Retro and Turbo Encabulator. He would tell stories of how difficult it was to maintain the flux bearings while ensuring the correct positronic alignment of the scissor switches. In the end, genius triumphed! And now, you proudly carry on the tradition of understanding the true purpose of the Encabulator. May your quasistatic regeneration oscillators ever be aligned with your phase inverters!

    Ok one thing you have to understand is that people from the 60's to the 80's didn't have much in the form of cell phones and pocket games so we read the data sheets of everything and most companies had them either in the toilets or lounge areas and everybody would be sitting there reading data sheets. I still recall all the ingredients from air fresheners in bathrooms. Propellants like propane were common 😳

    The thing that makes this so enjoyable for those of us in the industry (in my case, industrial maintenance), is this. This cabinet is a legit motor control system. There is a motor relay, real buttons and switches that actually do something in the real world. The companies are all legit companies that make parts for rotating equipment and controls. Only the narration is (near) complete gibberish. The fun is in the delivery. For other tech geeks out there, this is what we sound like to other people.

      @@tombuck I sometimes used "phony lessons" to deconstruct wrong concepts. I am a science school teacher and in recent years here in my country numerous pseudo-scientific theories have proliferated among the young people (I believe that the same situation has occurred in the USA). Before the pandemic, I set up some phony-classes whose first-parts followed the pseudo-scientific concepts that were present in the minds of my pupils. In the second part of the class, I exaggerated these concepts to absurd levels and then began to destroy the pseudo-scientific thesis with facts, logic, and, where possible, some simple experiments.

    I think there was a GM engineer giving a talk about the new Corvette that was coming out and used the T.E. film as the opener of his talk. Introduced it with complete sincerity.

Then I went back to them again and the headphones were not working. I seem to be doing everything right and my headphones are pioneer broadcast quality. This happens almost every time I use the Rodecaster. Would it have anything to do with headphone settings on Rodecaster. Microphones registering perfectly.
    Thanks in advance Tom

    • @tombuck

      You'd only need the regular FetHead (the Phantom will allow Phantom power to pass through it, and even though I'm sure there's a situation where someone might need that, I honestly can't think of one.
      Both devices are great. The FetHead can connect directly to your mixer, which means fewer cables, but I've heard it's more prone to RF interference. I've never had any issues, but depending on your location, it might happen.
      I like the FetHead quite a bit but I also like the Klark Teknik CT1, which is very similar and only costs $40.

    You now being an expert, here is a little extract...
    «Depuis plusieurs années, des travaux se poursuivent pour apporter la perfection à l'idée grossièrement conçue d'une transmission qui fournirait non seulement un courant réactif inverse pour une utilisation dans des détracteurs de phase unilatéraux, mais serait également capable de synchroniser automatiquement des grammètres cardinaux.
