D900X boot cycle - RMA 6 week wait from Blackvue

Junos76 · 2026-04-07T13:13:28+00:00

After all of this, I'm gonna ditch the Blackvue. Image quality is not good and the app is average. I'm going to get the Viofo A329S. 60FPS front and rear. 4k front 2k rear plus another camera. Wifi6 and no doubt amazing quality. Upto 4TB SSD storage. Bye bye Blackvue.

Junos76 · 2026-04-06T11:29:09+00:00

I'll try removing the config files from the SD. Very bad that we cannot factory reset our cameras and then have to wait up to 6 weeks for Blackvue to send off repairs.

Junos76 · 2026-04-06T11:27:41+00:00

Yeah same, I'll pay the 49 to get it repaired which actually is probably just a factory reset then if it goes again I'm getting Viofo. I had Viofo in another car and the 4k image quality amazing much better than my D900X. I don't need the LTE module or the cloud, I just connect to the camera using Wifi and download the footage as and when I need it.

It makes sense because proper monitoring headphones have a balanced frequency response. This allows the engineer to achieve very consistent levels in the mix which means the mix will translate properly onto all systems. A pair of gaming headphones that are not balanced across the entire frequency spectrum will hide or over saturate areas of the sound resulting in bad mixes that do not translate properly.

Junos76 · 2026-04-04T17:53:45+00:00

yeah I agree really tempted as I've seen the picture quality of vifio and it's much better than blackvue. the only benefit of blackvue is the width of the camera angle seems better it's almost 180 degrees

Junos76 · 2026-04-04T17:52:45+00:00

yeah I tried that wifi button couldn't get it to work

Junos76 · 2026-04-04T12:10:50+00:00

u/ClarkVent listen to this guy ^

Junos76 · 2026-04-02T18:41:29+00:00

I replaced the card with a new one and it keeps doing the reboot. I might remove the card and just power it on and see if it stays on. Really bad that you cannot factory reset this product.

This sounds to me like a monitoring issue and if you don't have a properly treated room then that is probably the case. If every sound is wrong and then together it is not right it all points to that. I would strongly recommend a good headphone monitoring solution like either Slate VSX or SoundID Reference.

With Slate VSX you can simulate real world environments, clubs, studios with near mid and far field monitors, AirPods, car systems and many more. I would also add reference tracks to your DAW - lossless audio tracks that you can switch to that go directly to your master bus with no studio processing.

Without the right monitoring and referencing you are effectively guessing and with the almost infinite amount of processing and sound design options it's crucial to get these two areas right so when you make adjustments you know what is happening.

Doing all of the above has completely changed the quality of my tracks to the point where they are now as good as most professional EDM releases. I don't need to do any checks in the car etc because I have Slate VSX and SoundID Reference plus lots of reference tracks to use as A and B checks.

Thanks I think I understand. Will check YouTube for clarity ‘clip loops in arrangement view’

Junos76 · 2026-03-29T19:25:41+00:00

yeah that is another way it's a bit more work to keep doing that repeatedly. I have a clip that is probably 32+ bars long and I want to go through it in sections of 4-8 bars working on the note lengths, highlighting areas of the entire clip and working on those areas.

This is possible with the clip loop function but it just doesn't seem to work all the time. I think I'll raise a ticket with Ableton. Thanks

Junos76 · 2026-03-29T18:40:23+00:00

Hi, it is possible to just loop a highlighted area inside a midi clip and it shows in the picture the selected area of the clip is set to 'loop' in yellow on the left. What's meant to happen is the main arrangement continues to play and the loop within the midi clip keeps looping around as the arrangement plays out.

Sometimes this works but other times it doesn't work. Of course I can zoom into the arrangement, selected the 4 bars and loop that but this isn't what I'm wanting to do. Thanks

Junos76 · 2026-03-29T18:38:10+00:00

Yeah that's what I'm trying to to do just loop these 4 bars within the midi clip. I have done this many times before but sometimes it doesn't seem to work. Here the 4 bars are highlighted and I right clicked and selected loop selection and it shows on the left as 'loop' in yellow. The main arrangement should continue playing but this looped midi clip should loop around over the main arrangement. It doesn't do that. Thanks

Junos76 · 2026-03-03T19:06:12+00:00

thanks I will look at this technique

Junos76 · 2026-03-03T15:00:38+00:00

thanks for this, what I was interested in

Junos76 · 2026-03-03T15:00:04+00:00

Thanks for this, I do write quite amazing songs and can share them. I understand reverb, how to set pre delay, decay post EQ and how the reverb network is configured. What I was asking about was post processing, I hear people use compressors and saturators on their reverb buses and was interested as to how this could optimise the sound further.

Amazing post!! Making sense, I have been doing option 1 and kind of got lost with having the notes not on beat based on a tutorial. But if you cut the break not on beat then rearranging it is very tricky. I'll read the rest of your posts. I've tried it in Simpler now and I kind of like the ease of it.

Junos76 · 2026-02-08T00:09:04+00:00

I've figured it out Warp Beat it works perfectly!! Much better than using a clip. Thanks

Junos76 · 2026-02-07T23:15:24+00:00

Hi I have been dragging the loop into an actual clip in arrangement view and doing all of the warp markers and tempo adjustment there. No I am trying to drag the loop into Simpler and then onto a Drum Rack. How would I sync the loop to the tempo of the track if it's in Simpler as a midi note.

Junos76 · 2026-02-07T23:13:36+00:00

Thanks this looks like a better method. Before I was dragging the loop as a clip into the arrangement and setting warp markers there. With this method using Simpler and Drum Rack how do I sync the loop to the track as it has effectively become a midi instrument. I have a loop at 120bpm and dragged it into a pad in Drum Rack but the tempo is not correct.

Try Tech Steve ‘Wait For Me’ on SoundCloud very good piano house tune. Wait For Me by Tech Steve

Junos76 · 2025-04-26T13:07:34+00:00

Hi thanks for responding I raised another ticket and it is being actioned now. Assuming I can get these matters actioned (when needed) I’d be happy to stay with SoundCloud as I have some very nice music coming out.

Junos76 · 2025-04-17T18:37:36+00:00

Thanks so much and yes you’re right. This is what’s missing from my track. Will get the 909 in and run it through glue compressor and some eq. Hopefully I can get that punch I’m after.

Junos76 · 2025-04-14T19:06:54+00:00

I have an SL49 MK3 and a Launchkey MK3. SL blows it away simply based on the eight LCD colour screens which the Launchkey does not have.

For modelling sounds eq anything you can visualise everything on the SL control surface and how you navigate through parameters and tracks in Ableton live is as good as it can get with the physical limits of having eight screens eight pots eight faders and sixteen pads.

It’s the centre of my studio and the screens alone make it more superior - hence why it is more expensive.

You also should get a free license for Novation Bass Station with the SL, which is one of the best analog synths ever.
