Re: Help with Kurzweil K2700

I'm parted from my K2700 for a few weeks, so can't recreate the patching for you, but essentially you can assign the sliders and knobs to whatever you want, so I forsee no problem with what you want.

BUT...

As I said, I can't test it for you at the moment.

Re: The Behringer Keyboards 'n' Stuff Thread #3

Behringer certainly don’t always get the aesthetics right, especially the basic ratio of keyboard size to control panel size. Sometimes they just look like a mini-me version of the cloned original tacked onto a keyboard. I guess they are trying to save them and us money by not adding the kind of sp...

Re: Drum overheads: mixing for Hi-hats, crashes and ride.

Try a de-esser and/or a dynamic EQ, tuned to something in the hi-hat you can isolate, at least to some extent. If you have a dedicated hi-hat mic, or even use the spill from the snare/rack tom, you may be able to utilise it as a side-chain signal to the de-esser/EQ.

Re: Pad/background ambience: panning/width question

100% panning is scary to me. I understand. I was there once too, and it took me a while to become comfortable with it. ...isn't most listening nowadays done on small speaker units like Alexas and mobile phones in mono? How's that coped with? You simply cannot make mixes with the idea that you're tr...

Re: Pad/background ambience: panning/width question

:D Thanks for the kind words. :blush: When panning out 100%, try a little mono-in/stereo-out reverb (or delay) to push the sound away a little. If you leave hard-panned elements dry they come in close to the ear they're panned to - which does sound as if it's right by your head... which, in itself, ...

Re: Is a new Behringer X-touch coming ?

The faders generate pitchbend messages in MCU mode, which is the only mode I use, but it has other modes and it also would be fairly simple to convert pitchbend to a CC, depending on what software you are using it with - I know I could do it easily with Cubase and Cantabile. I'm sure other DAWs will...

ore_terra wrote: Thu Aug 29, 2024 9:04 amWhat witchery is that!! Does that work with other controllers too?

Dunno. It would depend on the controller. I just figured out the MIDI message to access colour in the X-Touch. AFAIK the message is standard MCU, so if a controller is colour-able it should respond.

Re: Is a new Behringer X-touch coming ?

A quick check on the X-Air app shows the Sam is correct, only 8 colours and 8 inverse of those colours available. I'd never realised that before. However, if the X-Touch uses RGB and W LEDs for the scribble strips then theoretically far more colour combinations should be possible. The limitation, a...

Re: Is a new Behringer X-touch coming ?

A point of order gentlemen, the displays in the X-Touch (and X32/M32 mixers) are monochrome with coloured backlights rather than full colour. That is fairly obvious in the images but not so much from the text of the relevant posts. I see what you are saying, but it makes no practical difference as ...

Re: Why didn't I do this before!

There's a lot of nonsense jabber out there about operating systems generally. When Win12 comes out there will be those clinging to Win11 like a Titanic deck chair. :lol::thumbup:

Re: Hum on Alesis Micron

Balanced outputs? really? didn’t know that. It's always worth checking. Many synths do have balanced outputs. As I said, I doubt that's the issue here, but it's one variable to explore. I'm not an electronics expert by any means, but I’ve managed to find a schematic and "from what I can make o...

The little 'up/right' arrow by the last poster's name used to take me to the last post in a thread. Now it doesn't. It's been like this for a few weeks, but it shows no sign of being resolved, so maybe only I'm seeing it?

Re: Is a new Behringer X-touch coming ?

I think that you only get the coloured scribble strips when using the X-touch with the XR18 or other Behringer/Midas digital mixers. Mine certainly only has monochrome when using with Reaper, despite having the channels colour coded in the DAW. I use a remote script with Cubase that supports the X-...

Re: Recording Metal Guitars, then and now?

It was mostly about all hands to the mixer (mute buttons and/or faders), noise gates and spot erasing. Sometimes dynamic filters, such as the Symmetrix 501 would be employed. And it was also about playing as cleanly as possible. I sometimes find myself amazed at what we all managed to achieve back t...

Re: Distant Voices

I'm with Arpy. Fewer changes of lead sound and few more chordal embellishments and you have a lovely piece of music. It's beautifully haunting, but it chops and changes too much. Maybe also perform it without a timing reference.
