I see then that the app differs from the desktop Insta Studio, which has AI-tracking (which isn't great), but not AI-editing. I'll have to check it out... Thanks!

Seems great for shorts. What AI tool did you use?

My bad, I started replying before I watched the whole video. I see suggestions of re-pairing, or a factory reset. But checking app's audio settings and profiles (Standard, Bass Boost, Vocal, High Volume) is something I did on first install and never looked back. I chose "Vocal" on mine. Good luck!

- Designed for Isolation: Helmets provide a degree of noise isolation. Outside the helmet, ambient background noise easily drowns out the speakers' sound, making them seem even quieter and less clear.

- Lack of Bass Response: Due to their small size and flat design, these speakers lack the physical volume to produce deep bass. The helmet structure can sometimes slightly enhance the lower frequencies by sealing the ear canal area, but outside of it, the lack of bass becomes very obvious.

- Acoustic Environment: The padding, shape, and shell of a helmet create a contained acoustic space that helps reflect and funnel sound toward the ear. Without the helmet's structure, the sound disperses quickly into the open air.

- Proximity to Ear: Helmet speakers are designed to be positioned just millimeters from your ear, creating a direct path for sound. When outside the helmet, this close proximity is lost, leading to a significant drop in perceived volume and sound quality.

I have the Spirit HD, and I have no complaints. Not a ride goes by without music. Sound quality shouldn't be too bad with the Spirit non-HD (if that's what you have). The speakers ARE designed to be used inside a helmet, not on a table in a large room. Key factors contributing to this difference:

Oops, you found it first, 🤣

Fooled me for a few minutes, though, ngl... 😆

Yeah, that's Carolina Costa of Rope Walkers. Aurora's nose is less pointy, bigger earlobes & arms, and there are slight differences in lip and brow shapes. Considering Rope Walkers started in 2020, it's possible her hairstyle was influenced from Aurora?

Also, thumbnail for the Rope Walkers' song:

I mean, at $180, it's cheaper than buying something similar from a moto-related brand. Just buy it sizes too big to fit over your regular riding gear.

LoL..
I actually looked it up, and only found 3 things:

1. Michelin Bib Mousse - to replace the air in off-road tires;
2. Fender bib - protective cover for rear fender;
3. Bibs - cloth worn to protect against spills when eating.

Must be a regional term meaning something else. Help us out, Stray!

I was just going to say the same, considering the 20cm of snow I woke up to this morning... or should I say 8 inches. 😜

My kind of choice of colours. 💕

I gave up on making Shorts myself. Instead I use the YT Studio app on my phone to take snippets of existing videos. I usually do it while sitting on the porcelain throne. Does it help with subs? Kind of, but I would need a longer time sample to really compare. My last few subs are from Shorts only.
