Re: Everyday Ideas

The phantom center and any sense of depth behind the speakers is an illusion created by our minds. Well.. :) Not really, right? I mean in the area of the sweet spot a proper stereo system is basically wave field synthesis. So whats happening in the air right outside of our ears is already equivalen...

Re: Random audio trivia of the day

I just happen to have an EQ that does ridiculously narrow cuts, probably too narrow for this test. @Normen: What bandwidth do you suggest for this effect? I'd say around 2 you should have enough of an effect without doing too much other stuff but depending on the speaker (I mostly use it to make sp...

Re: Random audio trivia of the day

I’ve seen this empirically in my own mixes, especially apparent when mixing in a big finely-tuned room where you can actually hear stuff like the SPL Vitalizer, etc....This should work in Reason but only on “E” mode, as the G series EQ is really a broad brush....say a sword instead of a scalpel :-)...

Random audio trivia of the day

Localization of sound sources is especially dependent on frequencies around 8kHz. Try it! Cut 8kHz on your whole mix / speaker controller and hear the sound detach from the speakers. Boost 8kHz on a guitar that doesn't firmly stand in the stereo field of your mix and hear how it becomes more statio...

Re: The language of audio

I always wondered how native english speakers feel about that. Us germans we simply combine words and we have a new one or we simply use latin or greek words. But you keep reusing words for different things. I mean sure we have a few of those as well but theres so many in the english language. Like ...

Re: Hydlides rant about performance

Yesterday i realized the EQ (F2) drains quite alot of resources. I always have it open on one screen, but turning it off made all my stuttering projects play smooth again. No VST's involved tho. I've read about optimization and how closing combinators help reduce DSP load, just didn't occur to me t...

Re: Well it happened again... 10.1.2 left me dead in the water!

Did you check for hardware failure? Maybe your disk is EOLing..? Not sure there's anything to suggest that. No other issues, and wellness checks always run clean. And the EXACT same problem with this particular installer across two updates, weeks apart, seems to argue against hardware problems. It'...

Re: Hydlides rant about performance

However, for DAW like Reason - with complex routing, modulation, random devices - this might not be as effective as for "linear" DAWs that only keep the REC-armed track "live" and the rest is pre-computed. As Reason does know about the modulation routing network it can also run this in the backgrou...

Democracy in action can also be dangerous when you have demogoges in power. See the sitting US president for reference material. :End Rant: Absolutely.

Re: Hydlides rant about performance

Sure, some synths that are ported 1:1 to an environment where they always have to run at 64 samples might not like that. Any synth can raise the DSP meter. If you watch the video I made you might see why that's the case. It's about TIME. If a plugin needs or wastes TIME - not CPU cycles - the DSP m...

what I’m wondering is if PH can even DO something like calling VSTs at the buffer size while still calling internal instruments at 64 samples.

But addition works the same on any computer - or did you ever hear of "warmer results" in different spreadsheets apps? ;) Yes. My guess is you've never used Google Docs. Makes my blood boil anyway. So, that's pretty warm ;) Exactly what I say about DI boxes: "If it's got a sound it's broken!" ;)
