Last night I heard from my wife that the snake was purchased and gifted to the church by a church member. I think that was probably about five years ago, so very much after your time with us, Mike.

Thanks to all those who have replied - I have learned a lot! I recall that in the late 2000's we did have some XLR-to-jack converters. I'll have to have a look to see whether we still have them, and whether they are gender changers. For the record: Two of the Phonic MM1002's channels have combi ...

Because I was to be co-leading our sung worship at church today, I wanted to have a monitor mix of my electro-acoustic guitar, the main singer's vocal and my vocal. In an earlier thread, Shocks from mic , I described a past approach of mine to achieving a similar goal. On that occasion I'd wanted to ...

LS3/5a? The plot thickens. I have a pair, made by Chartwell, and used with my now departed hi-fi until I got married 10 years ago. I was planning to put them back into service when my step-sons grew out of boisterous playing. Then along came my son who, now nearly seven, is no stranger to boisterous ...

I don't really have a budget in mind, although the sub-£100 price for a pair of the Eris 3.5BT monitors puts them at a level where the impact on the bank balance might go almost unnoticed. Genre-wise, I don't need sub-bass. I tend to listen to rock, pop, prog, indie. I don't tend to listen to dance ...

At the moment the only permanent sound source in my lounge is a TV, and I'd like to make a modest investment that will give me more engaging audio. My researches a while back indicated that a pair of studio monitors would be a better bet than a soundbar. Although I haven't auditioned a pair, I'm ...

Last night, I found that with either a TS or TRS cable plugged into the wedge monitor's LINE input (thanks for that great tip, Wonks!) , I found that there is continuity between the S (sleeve) and the wedge's mains socket's earth pin. (Please therefore disregard my now apparently obviously incorrect ...

James - Unlike the guitar-oriented GI100, the Behringer DI100 has two input sockets; a 1/4 inch jack AND an XLR. You can see them both here: https://mediadl.musictribe.com/media/PLM/data/images/products/P0062/2000Wx2000H/DI100_P0062_Other1_XL.png I got out my multimeter at lunchtime. There was no ...

Thanks for everyone's inputs so far. We were back to a more typical set-up for today's service. However, before we started: I used a newly purchased T.I.S. 1005 socket tester (no-one in the UK seems to have stock of the Martindale's near equivalent EZ165, at present) to confirm that three green ...

On Sunday my wife reported feeling a tingling electric shock when her lips touched the mic into which she was singing at church. The setup was somewhat different from usual. Rather than me playing electric guitar and being led by our usual worship leader, with his vocals and all-singing keys (which ...

I'm intrigued to hear some heavenly samples...

There is a button that might do what you're after. It's explained here https://steinberg.help/cubase_pro_artist/v9/en/cubase_nuendo/topics/vst_instruments/vst_instruments_constrain_delay_compensation_c.html" target="phpbbpopup Thanks for the pointer - just what I needed! It seems curious that I ...

To close the thread (digressions aside, possibly): JDS Labs don't seem to have an affordable DAC+amp combo in their current product line any more. I ordered the Topping DX3 Pro LDAC - it is expected to arrive a week or two into January. I'll use it for recreational listening (likely often using ...

Anyone with input on the above? (Christmas is coming, and this goose (who puts getting fat down to working from home since March) is getting towards the point of tossing a coin!)

Ian

Thanks to the above input and further researches I'm now thinking as follows: I'd like a combined DAC + headphone amp, for the convenience of requiring a single power supply and being able to move it between rooms a little more easily. Because I want to be able to enjoy the benefits of my Sennheiser ...

Noted - thanks, Wonks.

Although I believe I had previously disabled all of the plug-ins to see whether one or more of them were creating the issue, I've now removed all of them - and the monitoring/VST responsiveness is back where I need it to be :-) Many thanks, Elf! This lesson begs two questions: 1. Can Cubase give any ...

On a couple of projects recently I've found that my DAW, centered around Cubase 10.5.20, has got itself into a state in which there is an unexplained component of perhaps 50 ms or 100 ms within the round-trip latency. This is profoundly evident when doing either of the following: 1. When tracking a ...

Apologies for having omitted some retrospectively obvious points - I rushed my original post during my lunch hour! For recreational listening I'd like to be able to listen to audio that comes from the source via USB. Example sources would be a Windows PC or a Moto G4 phone (Android). I believe the ...

I'm interested in buying a DAC that has a headphone amp, and am looking for some pointers. I have a couple of use cases: 1. High-fidelity reproduction of music for recreational listening. Although, with the modest gear I currently have I prefer my Grado SR60e headphones to my considerably more ...

Result, I think :bouncy: - on Sunday I opened up the case and measured the resistance between the bare metal of the case and various screws that I figured ought to be connected to ground. Generally the resistance was indicated to be about 0.4 Ohms but in one or two cases it was rather more - in one ...

I wanted to see what happened when the UR242 interface was used with my old PC, but Yamaha/Steinberg don't have a UR242 driver for Windows Vista or Windows XP. After going into Cubase I paired things down to just this: [*] PC (Dell Optiplex 3060), connected only to the mains, i.e. with no monitor ...

Dave, I've measured the resistance between the new PC's case and the earth pin of its kettle lead - it was about 0.7 Ohms. As for the quality of the mains earthing from the wall socket, my researches suggest that it isn't something the average Joe has the equipment to be able to test - shout if you ...

Mike, Huge thanks for your post - I have to confess (blush) that it simply hadn't occurred to me to move the PC further away! The PC is currently sitting on the bottom shelf of my cheap and cheerful computer trolley/desk, so your post has made me think it's time either to move it onto the floor ...
