also messing about with stereo width is not (in my experience) a 'default' move in professional mastering. it would be done as a corrective, but only with the say-so of the artist.

the idea is that if it sounds good on the 'wildly different setup' (i.e. posh speakers in controlled environment) then it will also sound good on cheap earbuds... but not the other way round. to me the whole 'mastering AI&#x2

very interesting indeed, reminds me of some of the work done by Jamie Howarth and co with the 'Plangent Process' which uses the bias tone recorded by analogue tape machines to correct flutter on high-sample-rate transfers from tap

See also "Innerstrings" (Chris Tomsett) who has a vast arsenal of Optikinetics gear that he uses along with live video processing. Really great. https://www.instagram.com/innerstrings/

that's the most common confusion yes! along with 'stage' vs 'cache' vs 'index'.

not so convenient for "a box you plug into some speakers"

by jlarcombe 3y ago
Yes, although it sounds like the Pi 5 will be a significant step up in this regard. To be honest for what I was doing, Pi 4 was easily good enough. It was just a bit more convenient to be able to get media assets etc on to the device direct

by jlarcombe 3y ago
this is true, but non-technical users (the likes of for whom my last pi project was built) get easily muddled!

by jlarcombe 3y ago
probably the way to go, but 'another thing to plug in' if you're building something for someone else to use

by jlarcombe 3y ago
Teensy is BRILLIANT - but a bit different to the Pi. It's quite convenient to have a 'real computer' you can toy around with directly on the device.

fair enough, i suppose i'm interested in using it for mainly audio/music applications and so am biased. no use for an RTC. demonstrates really how hard it is to keep everyone happy! over the years i think they've traded thing

Yeah, that's true, and I did that when I built a 'streamer' from a Pi 2. It was great. At some point though the quality of the built-in jack did improve, and so when I built a sound/lighting effect box for a toy theatre

I know this will sound like a whinge but it's really a shame they removed the audio jack, it was so useful for simple sound/music projects.

Sorry for delay in replying. Two main causes in my experience: 1. as a deliberate effect, either on its own or as part of a reverb; similarly, some synth sounds have this 'built in' 2. as a consequence of multi-microphone recordin

Yeah the phase thing is quite a pain, I always thought it was just for really low stuff, but a band I was helping out had a master rejected by the pressing plant for excessive out-of-phase audio even when the passages in question weren&#x27

yes, but for the same room, you can still improve group delay / 'latency' by getting a better loudspeaker.

I phrased it as a question because I didn't know the answer and didn't have time to Google it straight away, but I recalled that they were ported from a review I read several years ago. I had the impression they were of a complete

by jlarcombe 4y ago
aren't they ported though, and thus completely different to the NS10s and none of the features that made them such a useful tool? i've never actually heard any of the HS series though.
