Re: A Discussion About True Power Summing for Stereo Compressors

Nah bro, that wouldn't have done it for me. LOL I like the whole RMS for Dummies thing. It all helps me - I'm not the most absorbent sponge, it takes awhile for me, especially with math.
I still want to make a fully variable attack/release circuit on that timing pin. What do you think?...

Re: A Discussion About True Power Summing for Stereo Compressors

No squared term in the numerator is ever going to produce a negative result. The numerator terms either add, or fail to contribute (add 0) to the total. They can never subtract from the result. Right? (Which is why we have a timing resistor to pull current out and allow recovery.) Ah, there you go;...

Re: A Discussion About True Power Summing for Stereo Compressors

That said using "RMS" detection (or IMO any rectification) before summing, will over report incoherent signals relative to coherent. Thanks for the discussion John. I agree with most everything else except the above. I believe the opposite of the above is true: Summing prior to rectificat...

Re: Any opinions on this console?

"Buss" didn't bug me until you brought it up. Now I notice it all the time. LOL I was reading a Studio Sound the other day - one of the series of Steve Dove articles from the early eighties - spelled "buss" all the way through. I saw you got an acknowledgment at the end - did you...

Re: Any opinions on this console?

That's the best thing I've seen so far, and have had it bookmarked. Now to buy a PC.... Still running the ENIAC, eh?... I bet it would run under an emulator like fusion: http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/ Roger, the nice thing about that emachineshop package is that it accounts for bend allowan...

The software is pretty slick and sort of fun. Never ordered though. Prices aren't too bad looking for one-offs...

Edit: Wrong: I imported a design and priced it - 1 piece is same as 25 piece.

Re: Any opinions on this console?

CX deserved to fail, what a group of clowns... That's a cool story! See what you get for trying to help out a mega-conglomerate? I vaguely remember CX - an expander or something for LP's? I think I had a Clash record that said CX on it. I never could stand noise reduction much until Dolby SR. It wo...

Re: Any opinions on this console?

Well, I've already had better than API, I had a Neve. I'm not persuing a market either. I just like to do my own thing, even if I could buy it cheaper already made. I wouldn't want to add up the money I've sunk into building gear or hot rods over the years. I've built Heathkits, and I've built stuff...

Re: Any opinions on this console?

It's definitely geared to a small market segment. And yes there will be the trust-fund-baby hobbyists buying these as display cases, but I do know two pros who've ordered the 12-channel versions for thier studios. These particular guys still do real tracking sessions, and a real console still flows ...

Likes, dislikes? What you'd do different if you were rolling your own?...
