my experience is that very little EQ is needed to sound good enough for studio work.
far more EQ is needed for live situations to fix the room problems.
and they will overwhelm the golden eared tweaks some folks think are needed.
also depending on where you sit those golden eared tweaks with EQ wont make any difference at all to the audience.2021/05/14 at 1:53 pm #101316True but we already have 3 pages of folks complaining about the EQ.
it started with @tor saying it does not sound ‘nice’ to his golden ears.
I still say the audience does not give a crap if it is not truly atrocious sound,
which means stop distortion, keep the SPL down under the legal limits of your venue/country/media,
and keep the DR limited so it is all easily heard.And if it is not live they will fix the EQ for themselves on their devices so you are opening peanuts with a sledge hammer. s
More EQs wont fix anything that is truly necessary. The available EQs are more than capable of doing the job.
A poor worker blames his tools.
2021/05/13 at 2:50 pm #1013122021/05/12 at 8:09 pm #101304Well… The OP said he was not looking for reverb.
And did want spectacular effects.I still say the best effect is to play better, so the natural sound stands out by the lack of fx that many others do use.
Compression might suit @Mozzer, but he really needs to try things and see what he likes best.
For a ‘signature’ sound I still suspect that some sort of EQ would leave things recognizable as good horn sound, but also be different enough to be his signature sound.Of course the room may need its own adjusting. I focused on a perfect room as given, and so only adjusting the horn as he had asked.
2021/05/12 at 6:52 pm #101301I still think playing better and smoother with NO effects is best. YMMV.
When I said Haydn , I meant the sound of the true pros playing on those recordings is so far better than most live people I hear.
If there are f/x to clean up the raspy sound so many horn players have, then use that for sure.You seem to have the SQ so look at the f/x that are built in.
Also available are a number of DEEP processor to buy as add ons.
I would think that possibly GEQ or hypabass could help you some. Or maybe not. Depends on your taste.
The built in f/x have a number of classics.You really need to experiment with some and see what you think would be that signature sound you are looking for.
2021/05/12 at 5:06 pm #101298The best effect is NO effect except for playing extremely well.
And also having good music. Think Haydn trumpet concerto.Is the signature solo for your ears only, apology to James Bond:)
Or is the signature solo for the audience/listener(s)?Some possibilities would be a mute in the horn to lower the SPL.
Autotune might be useful. Maybe Clarifier andor high pass filter.
Possibly special EQ could do it for you.If you are into noise then an exciter, shredder, or destroyer might be what you want.
2021/05/12 at 3:18 pm #101293Thanks MJC for that link to the company over AH et al.
Note to AH and wordpress.
The image from MJCElectronics was blocking the message from NicalaA&H which was next on the page.
There is usually space so the next message can be seen. But not this time.2021/05/12 at 1:58 pm #101289I find that
DiGiCo – A&H – Calrec – SSL – KLANG
are owned by somebody but cannot find a company who owns them.
James Gordon seems to be CEO of whatever it is though.Do you know the actual company name?
2021/05/11 at 8:41 pm #101268@dB
Like your modern dance track…
With a build-up this long, I bet the drop will be of epic proportions.or they are not releasing it because it is just a nothingburger?
I prefer to think the inmates (coding hackers) are running the asylum (AH)@ilrusso
Hello A&H,
any news on this topic? I think the last communicated date was March/April…which year ?
@dave
I don’t know anything about where the dLive is in its life cycle, but I have seen training videos where A&H claims they still have tons of room left in their processor.what was the date on those videos ?
2021/05/11 at 3:32 pm #101261OBS can run a VST that shows LUFS
The issue is to have a cheaper better easier faster way to determine exact SPL levels , DR, and durations on the mixer before the streaming gear.
2021/05/11 at 2:03 pm #101257you can listen to one channel OR
you can listen to the mix and see how moving a given channel’s faders changes the mixMikeC may have stated it clearer than I did earlier,
you cannot push both pafls and do what you want to doselect the mix and move the faders for the channel of interest to see how the mix changes
pretty sure that is exactly what I said beforedo NOT select the pafl for one channel unless you just want to listen to that as solo
do NOT push both channel and mix and expect to get what you say you want2021/05/11 at 1:58 pm #101256+10E999999999
We absolutely need visual metering that does LUFS but also more
and far better than a few widely spaced LED readouts
so we can meet local laws on sound levels in venues or locales as well as those
on AM/FM and the requirements of CDNs like utoob facebook itunes et alIt could be an add on that plugs into the mixer if AH does not think it popular enough for all to have it built in.
2021/05/11 at 1:37 am #101248What is Pafl on a mixer? Pre/After Fader Listen.
This allows you to hear a particular channel via the headphone output. You can bind a softkey to clearing any PAFL selected channels so that you can hear the final mix. It’s essentially a solo button, but only via the headphone out.2021/05/11 at 1:25 am #101246afaik you cant hear channel separately with the mix selected
you need to select that channel to hear what it is doing
else you select the mix and move that channel fader to see how it changes in the mix2021/05/11 at 1:01 am #101244left of image. upper right of mixer. what is that wire and where does it come from?
