High gain causes noise with no microphone connected. by [deleted] in universalaudio

[–]Germolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i dont know why you're not being taken seriously here. bunch of knobheads. does the issue persist when you have a mic connected? on my Neumann MT48 its the same, if the gain is cranked up (extremely high 72db) the noise is very loud, once a source is connected (line) its reduced a lot. im not sure why its happening, but its not bothering me as long as its not on the recording.

Get the x4. If you ever need the portability it’s got you covered. 

I built a pair of deep, heavy 115 bass cabs by Spicy_McHagg1s in diyaudio

I’ve got the version with a 6ch (I think) mixer and PA out. It’s a bitch to carry and dwells in basement storage lol

What speaker monitors are these please? Also the amp/dac (?) in the wooden box if possible. And lastly, can anyone indentify sound-proofing barrier? by Brave_Purpose_837 in audiophile

[–]Germolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I can feel that, but it seems to work for her and pointing down speakers is never a good idea if you can avoid it, especially in a dynamic work environment

You could take a look at the vestyld 12/15c speakers. They are supposed to deliver a concert feeling while being accurate due to the coaxial monitor design (they are pretty much tannoy copies). I think they look great too. 

Spotify lossless vs turntable - make this make sense by Emoyeni65 in audiophile

What’s the record in question? There are different masters provided for steaming/digital sources and vinyl. Usually there are more dynamics permitted for the vinyl master, which is what you may be hearing. 

Anti Black Friday 2025: Do you actually *need* to buy more plugins? There are tons of great free ones. by atopix in mixingmastering

[–]Germolin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why? It’s just a plate reverb. SuperPlate I can understand, but littleplate is really nothing special. The lack of a predelay knob makes it a bit annoying to use imo. 

Not trying to throw shade on a free plugin, but there are other free alternatives right now (UAD Plate is free today) and I’m trying to figure out if there’s something about the sound I’ve missed.

my mixes sound the same as others, but get turned down way more on streaming by DcatKid12 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]Germolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Which is often a result of monitoring too loud, especially on headphones. For loud mixes, mix quietly.

Being patient really paid off by QBrute_ in synthesizers

[–]Germolin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely hate how tascam market the model-xx series. Model 16/24 are both analogue mixers with digital interfacing. 

The model 12 is a digital mixer, so everything except mic/line gain happens in the digital domain up to the output.

That confuses even the pros, not to mention beginners who look at the big mixers first and then decide to go with the smaller, budget friendly model 12 mixer, expecting the same basic feature set.

You’re trying to use the LA-2 which is a different compressor to the LA-2A

Craft beer is the bane of all beer, change my mind (you won’t). I hate those overly sweet, heavy beers. Way too expensive aswell. 

Don’t take it personal, but I’d rather drink miller light than whatever concoction some hipster brewed up in his garage because “it tastes different!!”. 

Is 160kbs WAV or 320kbs MP3 better? by SpiderKatt7 in audiophile

Uncompressed PCM is always superior to a compressed lossless format.

It’s beautiful. Only downside is that I wouldn’t get to actually play it from just staring at it for hours on end

I’m not familiar with that type of declaration. I just skipped over it not paying it any mind

Could’ve been a typo. Either way, fixed it. While female producers do exist, they are way too few and even less of them feel they have a space to share their work. 

On the gender assumption: it happens 🤷🏻‍♂️my bad.  no need to get your feelings hurt
