Firstly, if you consider the so-called "adversity under socio-economic
constraint", then you would realize the so-called "450" point differential
is not that absurd. An average African American student's family history,
school district, educational background, participation in early education
programs, financial situations, etc., might be far worse than his or her
Asian counterpart across the spectrum. To label reverse-discrimination as
the cause of the 450 points differential i... 阅读全帖 |

发帖数: 7397 | 8 Dissonance is aroused when people are confronted with information that is
inconsistent with their beliefs. If the dissonance is not reduced by
changing one's belief, the dissonance can result in misperception or
rejection or refutation of the information, seeking support from others who
share the beliefs, and attempting to persuade others to restore consonance.

关于S音，我听说是可以用EQUALIZER，在某个特定的高频上“削”一下。但是没试过，
可能可以google出来：
http://www.audio-production-tips.com/vocal-eq.html
"Sibilance around the 7 Khz.
Some people have more sibilance than others. The s' sounds have much more
energy than other consonants. If your singer has an excess of s's you can
try cutting around 7 Khz. It will make the s's less pronounced and won't
make them jump out too much. Better yet, inserting a de-esser or a
compressor that only compresses the s area can work even better." |
