I don't have my Wave up at the moment to check I'm explaining exactly right but the way to think of it is the Program is your 'sound'. And your sound consists of two slots which can be the same/edited differently or chosen from programs elsewhere. They're only called A or B and cannot be named ...

I'm gonna need a bit more explanation of what you're doing and what you're trying to achieve. To edit a slot you simply have to have it in focus. Tweak away and then you're editing that slot. If you want to choose a sound from another program for that slot you have to hold the relevant slot button ...

5. The macbook air just came out - if you want 100% silence machine this might be your best choice The M3 Air at least is not 100% silent, it suffers (or rather I suffer) from whine when using USB audio interfaces at 32 sample buffers. Not sure if it's USB polling whine or perhaps some other ...

Obvs it'll be dependent on viewing distance and size of screen so really I'd go on PPI vs outright pixel count. I came across this article on macOS PPI the other day which I found interesting https://bjango.com/articles/macexternaldisplays2/ It's a few years old now though so I'm not sure if it's ...

Simple one to say: I really appreciate the size, resolution and framing of the photos stored on the Sound On Sound website :) When I’m looking up gear, very often I’ll jump to a SOS image link to get a clear picture of the gear in question, even if I perhaps don’t intend to read the review. Seems to ...

I say USB polling but that was just one or two comments I'd previously read n just thinking about it now, I suppose such a noise shouldn't change in frequency with a change in sample buffers. It's one of those noises where if you turn your head you can't hear it. Just doing a cursory Google now n it ...

Just for completeness, I don't believe the M3 Macbook Air has any fans. I've certainly never heard anything from mine. I can't say categorically that your M3 MBA does have a fan but I reckon Apple would be singing it from the rooftops if it didn't. My M1 MBP definitely has a fan but I have never ...

Just for completeness, I don't believe the M3 Macbook Air has any fans. I've certainly never heard anything from mine. However, when I run it at 32 sample buffers with a couple of different USB audio interfaces I am able to hear a faint whine coming from in between the top of the keyboard and the ...

I've been meaning to try using some Hz/V keytracking for things like filter and oscillator mod depths, curious as to how natural it might sound. I have a Klavis Flexshaper which is much like Oberheim's Tracking Generators n so can approximate some logarithmic/exponential curves. I tried it once on ...

The other weird one was Korg's insistence on using Herz/volt for the keyboard to oscillator interface but octave/volt for the oscillator and filter modulation inputs, which meant that it was impossible to "play" the filters in tune from the keyboard or to get them to track the keyboard pitch in a ...

Personally I find these switchers rather baffling. I mean I think I understand the basic concept behind them but, musicians don't want to use mixers or MIDI channels any more?

What happens when you want to hear two instruments at the same time??

Baffling but each to their own I suppose.

To have a waveform usable over quite a few octaves you really need a wavetable with at least several band-limited waveforms, each tailored to suit a particular frequency range, so you avoid aliasing with high notes and dull bass notes because they lack the required upper harmonics. Have a read here ...

Also I came across this charger which is the only large name brand I've seen with a metal earth pin. https://www.belkin.com/uk/p/200w-4-port-usb-c-gan-charger/WCH015myWH.html Another solution might be a laptop charger from Dell / Samsung etc perhaps. Obvs might be no type of solution if like Sam ...

Well I'm truly going down the rabbit hole on isolation and impedance matching. Hadn't seen this article before but just thought I'd leave it here in the meantime: Noise interference on Move I've been drafting a couple of posts for the main recording forum on impedance matching / -10dBV to +4dBu / 3 ...

Ah well thank you, you've introduced me to a new concept - high and low resistance earths. I thought the wall socket just chucked it into the garden n that was that :headbang: Tbh I didn't know the plastic part of the connector was an earth either. There could be a couple of ways of skinning this ...

I have a natty 15" M3 MacBook Air and recently picked up an Ableton Move which is also pretty nifty. Been having fun getting into the latter mainly as a controller for Live. However on attempting to sample from the MBA's headphone out to the 3.5mm audio in on the Move it became apparent just how ...

Did you end up getting a particular one?

I've just been reading some positive reports of Startech USB hubs for audio related uses. Seems like they're proper IT Professional jobbies.

Facile but

Mic manufacturers hate this one simple trick!!

Scale model acoustics also may use v high sample rates. Making a scale model of a concert hall out of accurate materials is probably way easier and less time consuming than using some of the acoustics software I did during my masters :crazy: Thanks to doggedly making 3D models of acoustic spaces ...

A pretty common synthesizer sound that’s pretty much a filtered arp..? Recreating it seems pretty trivial, I’m more curious about if this is a common preset/setting on some of these 80’s era synths? A couple examples, both start fairly early on in the track - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nSEtY ...

I just thought of something, if they're shutting down the e-licenser service then I suppose the dongle is useless as far as installing Cubase etc on computers in the future. If it doesn't already exist on a system then I guess we won't be able to install it. I wonder how it'll work on old systems ...

Just seen Anker have released their 'Prime Series' which feature some handy looking hubs/chargers. https://www.anker.com/uk/products/a2683-anker-prime-charger-200w-6-ports-gan This one looks about right for me at least. Handy with a couple of USB-A and then really 3 USB-C I suppose rather than 4 as ...

Compact monitors - Mains powered not battery but I only have positive things to say about Eve SC203. I find myself using them more than my Neumann KH-80 because they sound better in awkward acoustic placings. Well featured too - USB audio interfacing, s/pdif in, subwoofer out, effective desk eq ...
