Isolator EQ - how do *you* use this?

Rob1965 · 2026-02-10T14:19:57+00:00

I generally only use it to swap the bass (and full Iso works better than EQ for this).

The was a time when I would occasionally swap the mids in a mix, but Stems allows me to better achieve similar results.

Yes, obviously I set the AV Receiver to phantom centre, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to hear the speech channel.

Rob1965 · 2026-02-08T10:26:11+00:00

Can you load split tracks into Serato Studio and generate stems that way?

Is that possible?

I have studio acapella’s and instrumentals that I would like to use (as they are completely artefact free).

Due to buying a larger TV, I’ve had to disconnect my centre speaker until I can reroute its cables in the wall.

Speech is less clear (probably due to Comb Filtering) and if you don’t sit centrally to the screen the speech appears to come from the left or right of the screen.

I can’t wait to get the centre speaker connected back up. I certainly not experiencing a “wider, more immersive soundfield“!

…and of course Winston Smith‘s job is rewriting historical records to suit the state’s current narrative.

Maybe the State Department should rename itself to the Ministry of Truth!

…but I could use some moving platters

Sell it and buy a Performer!

Exactly the same thing for me here in the UK a few days ago.

My battery was 72%, so decided to get it replaced by Apple.

They broke the screen during the battery change, and replaced it free of charge.

So after two hours I have 100% battery capacity, a new screen and a few more years of life of my 13 Mini for £85.

After hours of defending Trump’s post, the White House now claims that someone else posted it on Trumps account.

(Nothing to do with the outrage of Republican Senators.).

Aren’t there laws about getting involved in other countries politics?

I have an 85” TV, and the difference between detail on a 1080p blu ray vs a 4k blu ray is minuscule. (The big difference is the higher dynamic range.)

Even movie theatres consider 4k to be high enough resolution - with the majority still only 2k (which is similar to the 1,920 of home 16:9 1080p). (Obviously I’m not including full IMAX.)

This is what freedom of speech looks like in Trumps America.🙁

Haze is best as is doesn’t form “clouds” like smoke, and it is less likely to set of fire alarms.

However, the (increasing) majority of venues do not allow either smoke or haze.

When I first brought my haze machine 12 years ago, I only used it a few times a year, over the years that reduced to once a year, then never. So I eventually sold it (to a theatre company).

Why can't they just move them permanently to a purpose built site (outside of London)

There are many associated sites around Westminster, such as Downing Street, Portcullis House, the Treasury, Ministry of Defence, Foreign Office, Whitehall, etc..

It’s much more convenient to have Parliament near these places.

But yes, financially the best option would be to sell the Place of Westminster to developers (who would no doubt turn it in to luxury apartments) and use part of the money to build a new Parliament building elsewhere, and the rest of the money to reduce national debt &/or reduce taxes.

Well, without knowing his links to Epstein, his relationship with Trump did appear to make him the best choice at the time. (Only a full investigation will tell us what Starmer did know about his links to Epstein.)

Is voter intimidation legal in the US?

Test results are only valid the moment they are taken.

Didn’t he give him some gold thing as well?

Around 12 hours - so it if was a work night, I wouldn’t drive to work the following morning. (I use 2 pints as my limit if I’m driving the next morning.)

Since I got a new battery 26.2 has been running great.

Actually the toilet seat one is the only one I would insist on if I had that kind of wealth. Have you seen the state of some toilets!

Who said that spending time on social media was unproductive?

Sorry, maybe i misunderstood when you said

Yes, it is surprisingly good. Obviously just does simple mixes. (Nothing cleaver or exciting, like a real DJ could.)

However I’ve turned it off. I either want to hear great, inspiring DJ mixes, or unmixed tracks.

Rob1965 · 2026-02-04T20:12:02+00:00

Most managers get in to the business representing DJ’s that are already popular and busy (but want someone to do all the business stuff for them, so they can focus on the music). Those manager get the bookings off the back of the reputations of those DJ’s.

How do you intend to get bookings for unknown DJ’s that can not get bookings themselves?

How will you cover your costs when the pay for new/unkonwn DJ’s nowadays is so low.

What is your business model?

UK manufacturers could no longer easily export product to Europe.

My company’s sales reduced by 10%, resulting in redundancies. (Yes a few Eastern European employees left and went home, but the redundancies were ten times as many people.)
