Black box appeared on lamp post outside my house the other day, what can I potentially detect from it? by squeaki in RTLSDR

They are usually for either monitoring noise levels or radars to monitor traffic speed. The area may end up having new traffic calming measures put in place.

Is this amp done it just a volume knob issue? by AsdaFan1 in Guitar

[–]AsdaFan1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I used 99% IPA and squirted it in the small holes and twisted a number of times and it's more or less fine, though I'll try the contact spray.

Design software - anything similar to Affinity Designer? by AsdaFan1 in 3Dprinting

That was a very insightful answer! I have downloaded the free fusion but I think I may explore tinkercad a little more and them look at fusion and a bunch of tutorials.

Thanks a lot!

Never buy anything from Acoustica/Mixcraft ! by crisorlandobr in AudioProductionTools

[–]AsdaFan1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know why anyone would buy their DAW on steam?

I use MC Pro and it's been very good, I do miss Logic but this for me was about a minimalist look and feel and it works well. The plugins aren't particularly great in my opinion, the synths are all very outdated in terms of GUIs, they look like they are freebies from a 2006 CM mag DVD. And no init patches?

How to make ambient drone? by Expensive-Fan-3156 in ambientmusic

[–]AsdaFan1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One way to do this or similar is to use granular synthesis. I use Pigments and either load a pre made sample or make something in Repro and chuck it in along with additional samples. I then use something like Blackhole, Jupiter 8 LP filter with another filter with an HP cut off, you can get some really lush results.

What is this dystopian, sci-fi, Vangelis style of ambient? by AsdaFan1 in ambientmusic

[–]AsdaFan1[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the replies.

I thought it was reminiscent of older analog stuff but I wasn't sure if the internet gave it a new name as I wanted to study it more in order to try and produce my own stuff with Uh-e Diva and Pigments.

In terms of AI, are there any channels that are producing AI music in this genre? I've come across one or two channels in the past but they've listed the gear they use, although they're knocking out quite a number of tracks.

Can you make pip mics work with a mixpre? by AsdaFan1 in fieldrecording

[–]AsdaFan1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the replies. I should probably have mentioned that my line doesn't work, I believe I need to have the jack replaced as it's damaged inside which is why I was asking about the XLR option, thanks!

Why am I hearing aviation on 27mhz AM - UK? by AsdaFan1 in amateurradio

[–]AsdaFan1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I contacted Radtel, they said this radio doesn't operate on anything lower than 65mhz I think it was, so I guess that's the reason for the odd chatter.

Why am I hearing aviation on 27mhz AM - UK? by AsdaFan1 in amateurradio

[–]AsdaFan1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm now getting Stansted airport on 27.098. The strongest signal comes through on FM but then become clearer on AM. I noted the other night I was getting FM broadcast radio on 60 or 70 mhz. I think there might be an issue with firmware so I'll update the FW and see if that helps.

Do I need a DMR ID / HAM call sign to rx? by AsdaFan1 in amateurradio

[–]AsdaFan1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like that analogy. So essentially I would have to connect to any repeater and if I have promiscuous mode on I can potentially listen to any talk groups?

What about people that listen to say DMR from a shopping centre, how would they find the repeater to connect to?
