One real question is, why post anything about this in this thread? Because it has nothing to do with the fanless PC solutions I'm trying to find input about. And The Off Topic Windows XP Post are Not welcomed Either.

Microphone Input Protection Circuits Over the years, there has been designs for protecting solid state devices from the surges from plugging in a microphone into an energized phantom power circuit or sudden electro-static discharges. The first transistor mic preamp designs incorporated...

If you wanted to do something like that with audio programs, Docker would be more efficient as it wouldn't have to spin up a copy of the os.

Not only gaining an advantage of no fan noise in the control room, it also gives me the opportunity to remove the instance of switching power supply noise by using a linear power supply.

What I find interesting is most albums could be made easily with 8 tracks and older guys like me and if you had a 16 track you were either running a commercial studio or was someone who already made it. Artist is well more than most will need and for $200 I can see it being worth it.

The 3d acceleration is baked into DAWs. That is why even wavelab wants an AMD R or RX series and later or NVIDIA Series 700 and later. What I gathered from computer hardware engineers is that the CPUs are incapable of the parallel processing in real time and the only hardware that is capable to...

A lot of these circuits are easy to replicate with surface mount technology because of their tight tolerances. However, they always had a tendency to impart a sterile sound and in certain circuits, you have to match certain parts in electric parameters which sometimes work, and others don't...

I'm shooting for a total fan-less system. I noticed that over the years the DAWs from AAvid and Stienburg needing a 3D card and some of the plugins do too. But I hope that this can do the job and if the plugin load needs more GPU I would pop in a Nvidia Tesla card (or equiv.). I don't want to...

Well what I would do would get something like a Yamaha MFC05 Midi Foot Controller, spit its midi output with an adapter box, then run that midi to each computer, and set up the foot controller in both DAWs as transport controls.

I'm looking for something more complete. I was looking at this one: https://www.newegg.com/p/2SW-00AZ-00003 But if I have to use a 3d accelerator card, I was thinking about this one: https://www.newegg.com/p/1VK-01U9-00R58

A Midi DAW controller that has stop/play/rec/rew/fast fwd buttons. Of course you would have to find one that has midi i/o instead of USB or bluetooth. What I also recommend is getting a usb to midi interface for each computer in addition to this and use those midi for this and the exiting midi...

I've been looking into building a couple of small DAW workstations and I'm looking to try out a fan-less industrial computer since most of them look like they are using laptop CPUs and others are using Intel Xeon types. The interface I'm going to try on it is a MBOX Studio with Pro-tools...

The easy way would be is to get a midi splitter and split the midi out of a transport controller. The transport controller would only need one return from PC1's midi output. so the setup would be: Midi transport controller Midi Out -> midi splitter ->PC1 and PC2 midi in And PC1 midi out->...

One thing I wonder is the OP figured out the problem, or just wanted to post this question to see what others would do. I can count 4 to 5 ways of addressing it, but without any details much less a sound sample of what they are struggling with, others are just going to guess on what to do. Since...

That's cool. Another thing you should try is different speakers. Because I find changing speakers goes much further in getting a better sound than different microphones. So basically the sound and what makes a difference in equipment (in order) 1. Speaker 2. Mic placement 3. microphone choices...

They are nice to record with just like the 421. However in all instances, draping the mic over the cab is bad mic positioning for all of them. In a pinch it works for live, but for recording its better to put it on a short stand 2 inches away from the cab.

Only crackles from C2 I've dealt with were from the capsule not being screwed on all the way on the body and dirty switches that it goes away if I work the switches a few times. But I noticed sometimes on certain room resonate notes, I had to use the high pass filter before or it would crackle.

leads on some parts are flimsy. But the only ones that were really bad were the old point to point guitar amps that the leads would separate from the wax paper cap.

There has only been a few instances that I will glue a cap in a guitar amp and all those times they brought the amp in because some one changed it a while back and one of the leads broke off of the signal cap they replaced.

soldering has nothing to do with it. Its mainly for top heavy parts that break off at the leads. Sometimes when something is assembled in two places, they will glue parts in a sub assembly when shipping it so they don't rattle apart getting to the assembly plant. Like I said before there are...
