Do ANALOG hardware 'upward compressors' exist? I have tried some plug-in demo's and it works so unconvenient being used to a simple analog compressor. Have tried the Neodynium plug which is very complicated and no preset called upward compressor. Are there any analog hardware compressors doing...

I do not mean parallel compression or de-compression! What do I mean? The volume is dropping under a certain treshold and then the compressor will make the volume louder. When the volume is above that treshold it will stop making the original volume louder. Does this exist?

I have an Aphex 104 with big bottom since 1997. Now I am thinking about taking the 204 model which is already 10 years old. What is the difference especially when it comes to the bass, the big bottom? I have seen that there is an extra Tune knob for the bass. Does it really make much...

Why does it sound so bad, at least here in The Netherlands. It's the only tv station that is almost unhearable. Turning back the lows doesn't help, turning up high doesn't help. I once had a cd from the UK Subs (punk group) and it was a BBC production. I mastered it for my own use and the thing...

I want to buy the Behringer ms20 monitors for use with my internet computer, it's better than those multimedia speakers. But there is a problem. In the past I bought a compressor from Behringer (composer) and the power supply does hum a lot. Is the built-in power supply from the Behringer...

Windows media player does't play 24 bits audio. I use WMP 9. I know Winamp plays 24 bits audio but I don't want to use an extra program for this simple thing. I know there are other threads about this but if you read them carefully nobody had a real simple solution for this problem. In all...

I accept the theory that +4 dBu average is generally the best recording level. But what happens above and below +4 dBu (0VU)? Above +4 dBu Above +4 dBu very light distortion begins and when the volume is getting higher the distortion results in audible clipping at the clipping point mostly at...

Let's say that +4 dBu average level is the best level for recording but that it also depends on what level the equipment sounds best, but mostly it will be around or just lower than +4 dBu average level (0VU). But sometimes in soft passages the analog signal is on a weaker volume of -30 dBu...

What is meant to be the best analog recording level for the best quality of a signal? Which proof (like in court) can someone give that +4 dBu is the best recording level and that it is meant to be average level (or peak level)? I know that VU meters show the average levels, but does the...
