It's better if you figure this out yourself.

Intonation can be a problem.
The solution is a one parameter solution. (Changing the length of string between the 12th fret and the saddle)
Which means ...

... When you fret a note (and for intonation purposes we are using the 12th fret) you then use the average mass/unit length of that length of string. Does that make sense to you? It doesn't make any sense to me. What is using the mass/unit length? How is moving the saddle relevant to that? And ...

... in addition, strings are very rarely uniform along their whole length. Almost, but not quite. Small variations in mass/unit length can mean that you may need to intonate after each change of strings. What strings are you using that are uneven? How are you proposing that moving the saddle would ...

I don't think it's as complicated as Wonks is making out. On an acoustic guitar a bridge that has been adjusted to have better intonation is called a compensated bridge. The question is then what is it compensating for? It's compensating for the amount that the string bends out of tune when it is ...

What I'm imagining is something like Son Of A Preacher Man.

The rhythm is important. I think if you sung your ideas the horn players would get the idea and they could fill in the harmony.

With a horn section there's usually a 'squadron leader' who comes up with the line and the other guys put in the harmony. The reason to use notation would be if you had an exact horn part in mind with all the harmonies worked out. If you're open to the input of the horn players general guidance may ...

The challenge with doing this is mechanical -- how are you going to fit it in the case? There are PCIe to PCI riser cards available: https://i.ibb.co/vxYyKd60/PCIeto-PCIriser.jpg https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/194299680010 This gets around the limitation of the height of a slot. Electronically, it uses ...

Yeah, but remember I mentioned I am running a MacOS (Hackintosh) on the same laptop, and there I don't have these dropout and click issues even at 32 samples buffering that I have in Windows at 64. So in case the motherboard is limiting something for physical reasons, that should be a limiting ...

... Try checking your ‘DPC latency’. DPC = direct procedure call. ... It's deferred procedure call, and it's the deferring that is the problem. It has to be said that some laptops are just never going to do real-time audio. Some motherboards have SMIs -- system management interrupts -- which put the ...

Classical guitar is getting a bad press in this thread. For anyone considering trying classical guitar, despite what you might read here, classical guitar is not actually a medieval torture practice. One of the first pieces I learned was Romance : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aazYwcjYPdQ You don ...

... Al that sounds great, but I have to get back to him for a further dumbing down of: "Note that modern Z890 motherboards have a single PCIe 5.0 m.2 slot. If you want a PCIe 5.0 m.2 SSD, we can certainly accommodate. PCIe 5.0 drives are just starting to appear (expensive and few options)." Is that ...

according to Steinberg it's now fully supported. But what about plugins and audio device drivers? Thought I'd look up RME as a company that tends to be good with drivers and ... oh they actually have windows arm drivers already! Same with Focusrite supposedly. But looked up a bunch of popular ...

It might help to put some numbers on it. Here are the Passmark scores for an i5-4570 and a Core Ultra 7 265K: https://i.ibb.co/TxN30D49/4570vs265k.png https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/1896vs6326/Intel-i5-4570-vs-Intel-Ultra-7-265K LGA1150 -> FCLGA1851 Over the course of eleven years CPUs have ...

If you are doing unmixing then a good graphics card will make all the difference. I find that Demucs runs around 4X faster on my Nvidia M2200 graphics processor using Cuda compared to a 7th generation mobile i7 processor. Is this your potato laptop from the early 2000s? It needs all the help it can ...

... Re: NVME Drives ... if one assumes they chose 3500 MB/Sec rather than the one faster than 7000 MB/s for cost saving purposes ... do I correctly understand your suggestion to be, "Don't worry about it"? ... Most NVMe drives these days are PCIe 4. Doing a quick search there isn't a huge price ...

Option 2 will certainly do the job. Looking at your signature you have an i5 4570 at the moment. This machine will be so much better you won't believe it. If anything you've over-specced it. 850W PSU. But that's OK as it will be quieter as the fan won't run. Probably at all. 7TB of storage. Wow. You ...

The signal might have something to say about that, but who's bothered about the pesky signal?

We all know the sound of complete randomness in the audio band -- it's white noise.

I see. Have you tried silk stockings? I mean for keeping dust out. The mesh filter on my Be Quiet! case seems OK. Here is a photo of the dust it has prevented from getting into my case: https://i.ibb.co/nqCTQh0q/PXL-20250416-235254105.jpg As you can probably imagine, the circle is where the front ...

It's a server rack case, and there ain't no dust in the server room.

Something else about that 4U case is that there are no dust filters. For air flow this case has open grills. That's good for cooling. Recent cases have a fine mesh over the grills to stop dust getting in. They reduce the amount of dust that gets inside the case, and are removable and easily cleaned.

... In ignorance I assumed I could be completely agnostic with the form factor (tower, vs rack mount sitting on the floor) without penalty. Thanks for setting me straight please if that's not correct! 😀 It's more about what suits you. Unless you're going to rack mount it, I don't see the point in a ...

... Here's what Sweetwater has for sale for $US2,699. Seems a little expensive for what you get maybe (not 15th generation i7, Clock speed not higher, W11 Home/not pro, etc.?

Despite a general perception otherwise, a top-end graphics card isn't essential. However, having a graphics chip that can run Cuda can be a big help for certain AI based audio processing. I also find that the graphics coding with certain plug-ins isn't great and can benefit from a good graphics ...
