Software Burn-in

[wgscott]

I know it might be a slightly controversial topic, but many of us reap the benefits from software burn-in, and after a few 100 hours or so, the veils come off, the soundstage opens up, the clouds part and the angels begin to sing.

 

When you upgrade to a new version of the software, do you have to start the burn-in procedure all over again, or is there a memory effect that persists in your USB cable (or whatever)?

Not buying it.

Not buying it.

 

Most updates are free.

[Cebolla]

No, not real music player software. Got to make sure it burns a hole in your pocket with each update, for a proper burn-in.

I suspect a joke OP based on the recent cable burn-in thread.

 

Also, the pic of the Golden Retriever has been suspiciously altered...

Moi?

That was his sister (RIP).

Are Golden Retrievers subjects to burn-in process.? I had lots of problems with my (RIP too) cat and her passion for jumping onto my loudspeakers. She needed some burn-in period before she stopped doing it. I think that threats of putting her into a microvawe oven for doing it made the burn-in process quicker..

 

Carpets in the listening rooms need a burn-in too. After a month or two they change their sound reflective-absorbing properties completely. But I think that's obvious for evey CA member..

Much like dogs, always seek a golden sample. Boutique software personally harvested from the mother server by the company director with his lead coder overseeing the transfer to a secure media that will be hand delivered. Hand delivered like a glass of water direct from the the private well of Lynda and Stewart Resnick on the grounds of estate in Fiji.

 

Burn in should be minimal and gratuitous to observe.

sorry to hear about the deceased - I am on my third Golden

I have a DOS 3.3 machine from 1987. It KILLS any new computer audio due to all the burn in.

 

It's burn in has burn in.

 

Also my kids listen better when I whoop them with burned in cables. If I just whoop em with fresh off the spool zip cord they just laugh it off.

LOLOLOL,

 

 

Our cats have destroyed all of our vinyl covers in that exact manner!

Only problem is the hard drive can only hold one WAV file at a time.

[wgscott]

I wonder if different operating systems have different burn-in (or in the case of Windows, burn-out) properties?

I like spinning floppies. You get the best of both analog and digital worlds. See another reason it can't be beat. Well maybe by an DEC PDP-11.

[Cebolla]

Wow a whole 1.2M per HD 5 1/4" floppy, must bring a whole new meaning to gapless playback support.

[mav52]

Ah do you get your money back if the software fails the old burn in test, whatever that is

 

[rando]

This may be stepping too far astray but I do believe truly antiquated forms of storing music hold more and do it better than a floppy. Oddly enough they were very well made and did get better with age and tuning.

 

Then again there were some odd steps.

 

 

Edit: I'd almost forgotten about this.

[GregWormald]

The real problem with software burn-in is not the upgrade.

 

Each time you start the application it downloads a new copy into memory, and that copy must be burned in.

 

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

That oddly reminds me of the hanging chads in south Fla during the 2000 presidential election in the US.

I tried burning in my vinyl, but it melted...

Software burn-in??? Hmm, what's next? App burn-in?

You weren't one of those kids who devoted their Summer to illegally pressing records were you? Or a repressed (pun) communist forced to use X-ray plates?
