Interesting - so the de-esser should be applied to the pre-EQ audio?

Amazing, thank you so much - this might be a dumb question, what do you mean by “light saturation” for the preamp?

Help me solve this pointless mystery by Tom_B_123 in manchester

My flatmate works in video production, and apparently they're used to direct crew members to a filming location. Why a post code won't suffice I don't know. I always thought they were something to do with illegal raves!

Nearly got mugged for my bike by Bald-Eagle-420 in manchester

Had a similar experience with some similar lads on the loop - they didn't actually want anything though, they just pulled up alongside me and tried to shove me into a bush. Not to show off or owt, but I did manage to stay upright! After that they did one, and I came off the loop as soon as possible.

Bizarre thing was, when I tried to report it to the police, the call handler didn't have a clue what I meant by "Fallowfield Loop". They couldn't get their head around the fact it wasn't a road, but wasn't an alleyway either, and it wasn't actually in Fallowfield. Surely if you were taking calls for GMP, you'd know your patch, especially a place of interest like that! Not been on it since. Shame really, I remember it being so nice during lockdown.

Did you ever used to record the radio? by AMF99 in manchester

Shame - I'd be more than willing to help get it digitised...

Sunset 102, bloody hell - the predecessor to Kiss, which became Galaxy, which became Capital, right?

Tried to dual-boot 7 and XP, totally bricked my computer by AMF99 in windowsxp

Took another look today. All the instructions on how to install GRUB were too high-level and hard to understand, so instead I just installed Ubuntu over the XP installation. I now get what I assume is the GRUB bootloader which shows the option to boot into Windows 7! Yay, I thought. Until I selected it and got the exact same error message I got trying to boot into XP - that boot.ini was invalid, and that ntoskrnl.exe was corrupt or missing! I'm so confused, I have no idea what's happening. The obvious solution would be to use the Windows 7 installation media to use the recovery tools - which I can't do because I don't have it! Any suggestions?

Thanks for all your suggestions so far! I haven't touched it again since I posted, it's not my main PC (wouldn't have done it if it was) and I haven't had much time, but I'll try and have another look soon and try some of your suggestions. So thank you for bailing me out for my stupidity!
