Remember, those who protest the loudest (i.e., me) have probably offended before. :o

This thread roused from the dead after almost 7 years! Is that a record?

I think this thread is actually older than the internet.

Dude. Great answer, but the question was asked 6 years ago! :confused:

Remember: Money is no object...when it's someone elses.

That's only half of it. Compression makes loud things quieter AND quiet things louder. It narrows the dynamic range of the signal. Expansion does the opposite...it widens the dynamic range. It is used to make undesirable low-level signals (like noise) even quieter while allowing louder...

I've copied & offset guitar tracks - usually by about 5mS - and it can sound good... It sounds like a chorus effect basically. I wouldn't overuse it, though. example: http://stratocasterlounge.home.comcast.net/songs/Running_with_Scissors.wma

I was going to suggest the Fulldrive 2 also...as well as giving you a good clean boost, you can use it for distortion if you so desire. ...it also works well with an mxr supercomp in front of it.

I'm creating an insert for a CD that I've recording - a foldover insert for a jewel case. I'm printing the insert at home. The paper I tried was a nice matte paper, 32# weight, but I think it would look better on glossy paper, like the CD's you buy. What weight of paper is good? Most of the...

I did some recording today thru the M-Audio box...line in as opposed to the s/pdif that I was doing last week. Occasionally there still is the slight buzz...but not as often. My conclusion, then, is that it has nothing to do with the syncing of the s/pdif's, but the box itself. &$%^!!!!

the users guide for the m-audio box says to do this in your recording software. which I thought I did. It also suggests adjusting the latency, (I had also thought of that on my own) but I tried to do it, the option was "grayed out". There may be another way. Hopefully I'll have time to play...

I decided that it probably isn't the cable...I used to use the same cable to go from the Fostex to my Pioneer CD-R deck, with no problems. It probably is something not syncing correctly. I think I have them both set the same...the Fostex output is 44.1 kHz, so that's what I set reaper to. I...

the noise is a kind of buzz that occurs. I recorded the same song a couple of times and the noise seems to be a different locations...which could indicate interference. It could be a sync problem. I'm not sure how to verify that, though. The Fostex is supposedly transmitting at 44.1 kHz...

I have a question about S/PDIF cables.... I've been transferring music from my Fostex VF-08 to my computer via the S/PDIF ports. (I have a M-Audio Fast Track Pro interface) Recording using Reaper. It's working fine, except occasionally some noise gets transferred...and I'm wondering if...

so...the consensus is: Punching bad, thwacking OK? :o
