Re: Test rig
I was surprised to find just how many digital scopes from respected brands are 8 bits. The Keysight scopes that I used at work looked noticeably better than the cheap Rigol scope that someone else bought but the paper specs were remarkably similar. Rigol and Siglent are moving or have moved all ...

Re: Test rig
Rigol and Siglent are moving or have moved all their current DSOs to 12 bit. That was done several years ago, and the difference is quite dramatic - without using any interpolation (i.e. smudging). Have you directly compared them to something like an 8 bit Keysight 'scope? To use an old computing ...

Re: Test rig
Reaper users have a reasonably good oscilloscope built in. I'm tempted by something like a Picoscope which aren't much more expensive than the one Dave linked to if you go for the basic model. Space is at a bit of a premium here and my conventional scope just takes up too much of it. I don't know ...

Re: My entry for April KVR music cafe contest
|Thaks folks. I'd say more a sense of satisfaction that I was actually to sing through without going too far off key - took a lot of practice! Not doing so well on the voting though, although there are some really good and original entries from the other contributors. Few people this month too, only ...

Re: Warwick bass combo overheating and blowing output transistors.
A large properly fitted heatsink will make a lot of difference, especially if the fan is positioned so the flow is along the fins rather than straight at or across them - less turbulence and also quieter. That's assuming there is a clear route for the air to get in and out of the case!

My entry for April KVR music cafe contest
Singing is me (now you know why I rarely do this)
The rest is of course all Yoshimi.
Some of the Piano 'twiddles' came from a publicly available MIDI file which I then modified a little. The rest is lovingly? hand crafted

Re: Anyone else feel like Music algorithms are failing us?
I've never knowing used any algorithms. I just pootle about on a keyboard until a musical 'phrase' just seems to appear. Then it's away we go :) P.S. I expect that, as a child, II benefited greatly from being exposed to everything from 'heavy' classical through to the latest pop songs my older ...

Re: Bad Pot or Cheap Amp?
The point I was trying to make, is that without there being any actual faults, this is typical behaviour where a low to medium impedance source has a high impedance pot then feeding a low impedance load.

Re: Bad Pot or Cheap Amp?
That sounds suspiciously like the amp has far too low input impedance, compared to the resistance of the guitar pot - depending on the precise wiring of both!

Re: EdiMIDI - A polyrhythmic sequencer in the works
Thanks for the update. This looks a very interesting development, especially if it's cross-platform and stand-alone, or at least minimal dependencies.

Re: Production advice
Only just found time to listen to this. First off, it's a good song and I like alternation between sung and spoken parts. Overall this tends to get swamped by a too-busy accompaniment. In particular there is too mach competing in the same spectrum, and there's a lot of 'empty' space at lower ...

Re: Garden Room Studio Begins (Now I'm in trouble)
What are you doing about the floor? Concrete is not exactly the warmest and most comfortable material! Very true, the concrete sits on a damp proof membrane to inhibit moisture take up from below, that will have 75mm of rigid insulation, a vapour barrier, and two layers of 18mm OSB. That will make ...
