This is Orbital’s guy. Not as pricy as you might think given the work involved. Great to work with.

That clears that up then This forum is great, look at all the good quality information I got. Thank you all!

Try Adobe Enhance Speech V2 . I recently used it for a similar issue. Before processing, the other side was inaudible above the noise. After processing, it did not sound nice but you could clearly hear all that was said. I also used it on a reasonably audible phone conversation. After processing, it ...

Ok. Is it ADAT that has to have WC to be bidirectional?

Maybe I am confused... but only one device can be the master clock, right? My understanding is you normally can't have digital in and out simultaneously with spdif. I think what Hugh is describing is a feature of the TC, that it can get a clock from spdif while still outputting an externally clocked ...

No separate word clicking necessary if using the S/PDIF input to the Finaliser as that interface is self-clocking. So Focurite S/PDIF out to TC S/PDIF in. Set the TC to clock from its digital in. TC S/PDIF out to Focusrite S/PDIF in. Set Focusrite as clock master (computer). That's a neat feature ...

You are right it appears it cannot be done. Mid EQ is not listed as a destination for pedal control in the Parameter Guide . However you can assign aftertouch to be controlled by the pedal, and aftertouch can control an MFX parameter, so maybe you could get it done that way? Would seem to require ...

BNC to RCA 75ohm cable also needed for wordclock sync if you are to use any of the digital audio interface options including SPDIF i/o.

The FC9 manual is fairly clear. You definitely should not be using the battery powered or any mains adapter powered functionality with the Roland expression pedal input. Really bad. Do not do that. The powered function is when you wire it in series with the line output of the synth. NOT for the ...

Agreed. RTFM

The switching pedals I mentioned are just as solidly built as the Roland. The extra cost of the Roland is in making it both solid and continuous.

[ I can't have free standing panels I haven't got the space because there's a door right in two corners of the room. I realise you can’t fix to doors in rental accommodation, but sometimes there’s sufficient gap above the door to insert a couple of brackets from which you can hang stuff, perhaps sec ...

It depends on if you want switched (TS jack) or continuous (TRS) control. The Yamaha and the Roland are electrically identical so you may have the same problem with both. Although the Roland lets you select Switched mode or Continuous. Total waste of that pedal to use it in switched mode. A cheaper ...

Hanging panels would be mechanically the same as hanging pictures. At least in this country, there is no regulation or standard tenancy agreement where a landlord cannot allow that. Perhaps it is different in the UK? It’s a very easy DIY job to make the screw holes invisible if you are moving out.

That is funny alright. Classic visual bias, kudos for being aware of it and getting around it. See my earlier point about cognitive bias and the pitch dial. I've tried Mododrum, I think it's not as great as it appears. You don't actually have that much control over the drum parameters, and it seems ...

They are samples, so like any sampler, you can raise and lower the pitch. And like any sampler, it only works well over a small pitch range. I’ve only ever nudged a drum pitch up or down slightly, as any more just sounds wrong. Better to pick a different size drum from the kit selection. This is an ...

It still is difficult to categorically suggest what the most accurate monitors for the budget are. Flat ? Time domain ? Not sure if that is a question or a statement, but since you quoted me I will respond. Yes it is, for the reasons you've outlined. I think the OP's caveat was sensible. From my ...

Just doing whatever you can fit in to the space will help. Simple rigid rockwool panels. I have one corner not treated here because of the door* but I do have a ceiling cloud and the bicorners are covered. It is a vast improvement. Well worth doing. You can always do more later. *Actually I have a ...

I I believe I’ve explained why already. But in a nutshell- A tuner is not perception. Your perception of the so-called pitch will be different to someone else’s. Perception is affected by cognitive bias, such as assumptions. Also it’s not that “I don’t want people to do it” that’s hilarious. I’m tryi ...

Linking to another person who is relying on their perception and not physics is missing the point. I’ve already explained I think, why a tuner is misleading. I’m not sure it’s understood what the fundamental difference is between perception and reality. If you listen without music going on you shoul ...

While that is truly what we percieve, it is not correct in terms of physics. If you look at the harmonics of a tom or kick on a spectrum analyzer you will see what is actually happening. The higher modes decay faster than the lower ones but their frequency remains steady. The brain merges these ...

Could be, but I really don't hear that effect on the other elements which I experience as floating over it. It really is a beautiful piece of work all 'round

The podcast won't help the OP, since they are using samples not trying to tune real drums. The problem is the definition of pitch. It's not real as such, it is perceived. I am familiar with Rob Toulson's work. I don't think he is clear about what pitch is. I don't recall him ever addressing the ...

The two mics on the amp are summed to mono, it’s not XY it’s a V arrangement. To my ears there is some kind of dynamic interplay between the guitar and the drum machine. The drum machine is compressed and the guitar seems like its compressor is being pumped slightly by it via a key signal. Also as ha ...

I think a lot of people would disagree that you can't tune a drum to a particular note (at least the initial hit). I've done it myself, so it can be done. Certainly with more electronic drum sounds, tuning them to the song is common Yes I think they would disagree too. I believe that is because ...
