Marcus Aurelius said something along those lines: "The opinion of 10,000 people is of no value if none of them know anything about the subject."

I don't think Mixed Up wants to search for keywords, Ian. I think he wants a 'new posts' or 'unread posts' type of search that provides a complete listng of all ads under the global readers ad headline forum. Yes, precisely this. Currently, you must enter keywords. Wildcards on their own aren't ...

You have all the subforums listed by category, just go for the one you fancy looking at the most in the moment and repeat in decreasing order of interest, surely! "Surely"? Nah. Lots of clicks where one would (and did) suffice is definitely a backward step. Subcategories for something like this ...

In gaining subforums, we appear to have lost the ability to browse all gear for sale in one place, which is how (as a buyer) I've always used Readers' Ads. Is it possible to have another based on a query that shows the content from all the subforums in one place? (Rather like we can view Latest ...

Sounds like the Audient already ticks all his boxes other than this mysterious and ill-defined sense of 'warmth'. The HE version has some bus processing which might qualify. But of course, you can add whatever external processors you want, be it preamps, EQs, compressors, saturators, tape emulations ...

Always like the UA one. But more recently, I reckon Acustica Grey Pro sounds really good. It covers multiple types including 160VU hard-knee.

Not sure if you want this to put L and R on different track (easy in any DAW with routing and rendering...). Or to discard duplicate channels in dual mono files (the result of batch stereo rendering including of mono tracks). For the latter, [url] StereoMonoizer[/url] is ace. (btw I've not needed it ...

One recent post on here was about automatically removing breath noises from vocals. Was that my post? I'd LOVE something that could not remove breaths altogether (just sounds weird to me) but instead allow end-user control over the breath level. There are some tools out there already (including RX ...

Well yes, I agree — you definitely need these things. But then there's little point in having them unless you plan to use them on some projects!

What do you like to play with? Synths? Guitar? Outboard? Mics? Etc etc. There are loads of things available in kit form that can help you understand what's going on in various devices. Eg too many guitar pedals to name; or CAPI and Sound Skulptor preamps, EQs etc. And there are plenty of how-to ...

Prices listed are as suggested by the manufacturer. We're going to work on a way of converting it to local currencies. We will also add a tab that looks up current prices on a number of websites, with affiliate links to help support the running of the site. So there will be the "official price" and ...

Make sure that your improved vocal clarity in the stereo mix still works in the summed mono mix. ...and that you're happy with the tonal difference of the guitar when heard in mono. Bottom line, if it sounds good (which doesn't mean 'the same'!) when heard via both mono and stereo playback, and you ...

Yeah, that was my first thought on reading that

No worries. The thing with the multiple channels approach is that (again depending on DAW) it can start to look pretty messy and cumbersome if you like to do a lot of your work in the arrange page, and use this approach on many tracks. But if you mix on the mixer and develop a good system (eg main ...

Depends what I'm trying to achieve (and how flexible the DAW is!) but sometimes I'll use a post-fade send, then have both the dry and wet tracks routed to a group bus, where I'll apply any post-compression processing. Eg that works well if you want a sort of two-stage compression, with parallel ...

I'm using a similar device, the MADIFace USB to connect to Ferrofish converters. (And used the FF800 before it). Very happy with it. Best of all is that the RME drivers seem to be among the first to work properly with OS updates. Totalmix is really easy. Two views: one a routing matrix. Some love it ...

Kinda depends why/how you wish to use parallel compression and whether its only compression you want in the parallel chain. For instance, if you're just using it to raise up low levels all the way through a track, the wet/dry knob makes good sense. If you're mixing drums and want a denser, more ...

They both look interesting too, though the DAV is not the prettiest ;) will do some more research on these. I'm based in Bristol but also run between Cambridgeshire and London so I can get around. Yeah DAV were making good-sounding gear before the marketing guys muscled in on the sector, and they ...

In this sort of price range, I reckon the TK Audio TK-lizer and DAV BG3 would be worth adding to your list.

As for auditioning, where are you based?

Anyway I beg you patience while we finish things and iron out the issues. Absolutely! And great to hear the search will be upgraded. That will make a big difference. Wonderful to hear you come back with all this info, in fact. The plot approach sounds like it will be great in the long run, and it's ...

Ah yes, that's the brand I put in vari-mu compressors when I want to use them for ducking. I hear Drake swears by them too...

I know they are currently working on the plots, in an effort to make them less data-hungry. I suspect the other things are teething issues — it is a huge database to sort for consistency. I haven't had a chance to peruse yet, so I don't know if there's a feedback facility. But I'll gladly pass your ...

Great that it's live and all is not lost. Sadly, I'm not finding it as good as I'd hoped. First, the search facility is really picky. Eg search on 'Blue Dragonfly' and you'll get nothing, but search on 'Dragonfly' and up pops the Dragonfly with no manufacturer name, but with a 'Common Name' of 'Blue ...

The other one is the "stereo combined panner" and it act as a stereo width control meaning that if you bring it closer to center it effectively sums the two together as hitting the mono button does. Moving only one side to the center effectively brings one channel to the center while still leaving ...
