Re: looking an uneven WAV files

The weird thing is, this plays into something I've been thinking about recently, everyone says use your ears but your eyes can be more sensitive about spotting differences. What if there's going to be a whole new generation of recordists who use their eyes? Maybe only listen to it when it looks good...

Re: looking an uneven WAV files

I have a mic like that, it's a phantom mic and it produces an unbalanced waveform. Some people will say it's a DC offset, in my case it isn't, it's just inequally amplified, but in your case it could be. A lot of programs have a DC Offset remover, you might want to try and use it. http://dub.grebogu...

There's a little exclamation point button in the upper right-hand corner of every post.

That's the "report" button.

(I've already reported the vErizon spam posts.)
There's no thumbs up, else I'd like this post :mrgreen:

Re: TOMB Software Update!

Love it. Is there any way to move the user names back to the left, rather than on the right? Some setting I'm missing?

Yeah, that was what got me, the solder would melt fine, but the piece was like caught somehow, I could get it to wiggle in the hole, but couldn't get it out in either direction.

Yes, sorry, I had the pump too. Just one of those button press one shot ones.

I was a tech for the first half of my working life, so you think I'd know, they were 60mm stereo ALPS faders (10k) and there are 4 pins at one end, and so dang close. Like I said I daren't drill it out, I used to have a little pinvise drill for this kind of thing, but the pitch of the holes is so cl...

Desoldering Woes

So, I got the replacement faders for my mixer, and set about replacing them, but I had a heck of a time with getting the old ones out. Normally on a multi-pin part, if I don't need to keep it, I'll carefully cut the part out with snips and then desolder each pin. This time round I had one pin that j...

I've never used Logic, so I don't know how it displays, but I find the two-tone display in Audacity a lot easier to understand than the one I see in REAPER. The inner, lighter blue, envelope is the average loudness and the outer is the peaks. http://www.nsftools.com/misc/AudacityAudioTrack.png versu...

What is the amp?

Could be the exact value you need is on the schematic, on the 15dB input.

Other cheap ways to do this, get a Y-cable, connect both pickups to the same input.

Open the amp up, short out the resistor on the 15dB input causing the 15dB loss.

It's between a mixer output, and a power amp input, so yes active, connected unbalanced, using 1/4" jacks. Basically, I run my guitar/bass rig thru a mixer, and used to use two regular amps, one with the preamp bypassed, one using the preamp with the bass rolled off, now I want to use one stereo pow...

Simple High-Pass Filter

If I'm making a simple passive RC HPF, can I consider the input impedance of the next device as R or do I need to define R out of circuit?

This gets confusing as the input is an impedance not a DC resistance, but does it not affect the way the circuit works?

Turns out I was being dumb. I didn't realize the 'good' fader I was using as a reference was actually intermittent too. If I put any pressure on it, it cuts out, so measuring it upside down, you get the picture. :roll: Behringer were moderately helpful, and confirmed that they used the same part for...

Behringer Fader Pinout

Anyone know the fader pinout for Behringer faders? I broke a channel on my UB-1622, physically bent the fader and lost signal though PFL still works.. Googling produces a bunch of sites that sell 'em, but I want to know the pinout to do a quick hack. It's allegedley a D103 a10kx2 type, if that means...
