"Sense" is a generalized, non-countable term. So it should be used in the singular even when referring to plural items: "That sense of pace and rhythm" (not "those senses of pace and rhythm"), or "that sense of movement." I've never seen it used any other way, except here. Cheers

From our long-term copy editor:

"Either way is okay, which means that neither is incorrect. Assuming that there is a sense of pace distinct from a sense of rhythm, then I count two senses. However, if you’re talking about a combined sense/feel of pace-and-rhythm, then treat it as singular. But the reader is incorrect: in this sense, sense is indeed countable."

All I can hear is a snare

Such scrutiny today! (Honestly, I welcome it. Thanks for reading.)

I know it's subtle, but, approximately 52.5 seconds into the song, there's a single hi-hat hit, and that's what I was listening to; but my comment applies to other hi-hat hits in other songs, as well.

The ten cent zen incense

intended to send intense scents in tents.

Instead, it tensed senses and insensed attendants.

Consensus says the scent sentence 

Ended zen-tent attendance.

 

Great article. Stephen.  Looks like I'll have to upgrade to the new Dragonfly!

Stephen.

You might like to check out a short story called "The Machine Stops" by E.M. Forrester. Amazingly, it was written in 1909 and accurately predicts computers, the internet, Facebook/Skype and the frightening consequenses of this new "delivery" paradigm that is rapidly becoming a part of our lives.

Enjoy!

I am confused between Sennheiser and Beyerdynamic.I came across this article while doing some research( http://www.sonicsense.com/blog/headphone-shootouts/premium-open-back-headphones-akg-k812-sennheiser-hd-800-ultrasone-edition-12-beyerdynamic-t1 ). What do you guyzz think, which one should I go for?

Instead of battling for headphones, we should be concerned with how the music is being mixed for headphones. Stereo mixes don't translate, unless we use the Duplex Panner from Element Audio Group.

The Duplex Panner allows users to generate enhanced stereo mixes that create out-of-the head, spatial, and realistic experiences on headphones but without deteriorating stereo playback. Finally a method that bridges the gap between headphones and speaker playback. One mix, two amazing experiences!!

Check out the AES award-winning plugin the Duplex Panner here and become part of a new era in music production by contributing in the Kickstarter campaign !

With your contribution on the Kickstarter campaign , I will be able to fully develop this product to include suggested presets, have a fully functional mono/stereo mode, and most notably be the first all-in-one master bus panner where you can pan all your sources rather than scrolling through all your tracks. Please visit the Kickstarter campaign for more info and don't miss out on the future of music.

I have been using the on-ear momentum model for a while, and i especially liked the build quality and the design of the headphones. I think they were designed with hipsters in mind. :D

How do you feel about these in comparison to the AKG K702 for
studio usage? I'm considering getting one of them, and I'm a big fan of Sennheiser which is why I'm considering getting these instead of the AKG, even though these are not specifically studio headphones.
