Re: Favorite NAS for audio

I've done a few networked things here in my home (where I have a bunch of media consumption systems + my home studio), and I think the whole exercise was a little wasteful. Here's the real question I think one might wanna ask before focusing on a NAS: Why do you think you need one? Do you have multi...

Mic pads — they all work the same, right?

This is sort of an idle curiosity that came to a head as I overheard someone speaking VERY confidently (and I think VERY incorrectly) this weekend. I'm just curious if anyone else have ever noticed some engineers/musicians talking about using a pad on their mic "to protect the mic" when using it wit...

Re: anyone working at 96k?

Been working at 88.2 and 96 for the better part of 12yrs. Every set of converters I've had in the last ~15yrs sounded fine at 44.1 / 48, but I genuinely thought I had a better / more open sound-stage at the higher sample rates. But, with all of the internet skepticism I am not super emphatic about h...

Re: Coleman Audio Monitoring — is it supposed to be this quiet?

The interface is a ULN-8? Maybe the manual answers it: Ahhhhh.... and so it turns out I never downloaded the "ULN-8 Quick start guide" where that section exists. The control-panel software "MIO Console 3D" has a full user manual with tons of hardware specific info... so I took that as the "complete...

Re: Coleman Audio Monitoring — is it supposed to be this quiet?

What is the input sensitivity switch setting on your Focal monitors? It's set at +4 (it only offers -10 or +4) And here's where I now come back to the conversation feeling kinda dumb. So... I just took my Q-box and hooked it up to the ins of the coleman monitor controller / I played the Q-box tone ...

Re: Coleman Audio Monitoring — is it supposed to be this quiet?

seems like you proved the Coleman is doing a lot of attenuation - I'd be giving them a call to ask why. Oops, I think my post below was a little unclear. In my “bypass” testing of the system I actually proved to myself that the Coleman is not providing additional/unwanted attenuation. In the paragr...

Re: Coleman Audio Monitoring — is it supposed to be this quiet?

Yep... so I did that very test today. I'm pushing 4+ Line level out of the Metric Halo interface's outs 1-2 (with them set as a pure +4 line send) Playing Apple Music with the software fader turned up all the way — interface outputs are just kissing the red, depending on the program material. bypass...

Coleman Audio Monitoring — is it supposed to be this quiet?

I'm not sure how to talk about monitoring levels intelligently for this troubleshoot, but essentially... 1. I've always thought my coleman audio M3PH MKII ran a little "modest" in volume 2. I have always been run with the control-room knob wide open and my Focal Twin 6Be mains w/ sub have never been...

Re: Favorite Music/Audio related charities

It looks like Cory at Seventh Circle Audio put together a GoFundMe to get metal stoves bought/made in Ukraine, so that's a nice thing to donate to.

Re: FET FEVER

...but is anyone else thinking, "Ok, enough of cloning every single damn thing out there!" when it comes to Warm Audio? Yeah... I've never used any of their gear, so I'm coming from a completely uninformed place on this, but they give off "big-Behringer-energy" and they seem to be riding that all t...

Favorite Music/Audio related charities

Hi there! This is a two part post: one, I'm looking for charities... two, it's really fun to share info about the impact of volunteering & charity work. I manage my company's charitable contribution work, and we tend to donate a bunch of money (each year) to the charities that mean the most to our e...
