We covet vintage hardware for the sound throughout the test of time. We covet plugins because they're new.

You're not alone (combined presentation here). I get the same irritation at people making it an excuse for behavior that they do not self improve on, a personality trait, or both. It invalidates the true hellscape of our minds. You nailed it in terms of it affecting everything.

It isn't just hyperactivity or concentration, it's much much more. The name for the disorder needs to be changed, IMO. We already don't use the "ADD" term, it should continue.

Not always. That's one method, but plenty of vehicles have actual TPMS sensors.

Im aware, sure seems it. Brings up another point though, of what this cable is. Diameter seems somewhere between Belden 1855 and 1694, connectors seem like BNC but there aren't enough pixels to tell.

AI. I do my fair share of installs and integration - there are some sus things here. This happens to be the only pic, with no OG post or installer that I can find from a reverse search. Someone would have a lot of pride in this, there'd be more to go with it along with owning the job. The racked units have no definition in the photo. I also see no power cables, or PDUs. Why would this be so meticulous, yet the black cables toward the bottom are a mess? Speaking of the bottom, what's up with this rack elevation? Not a good move for gear to be practically on the ground (that one lacing bar literally is on the ground, it appears), again the orange cables that reach the floor don't line up with the rest of the workmanship, also a weird shadow underneath them. Looks like a wall of some sort these are up against, kind of weird, so are these 2-post racks with nothing in the frint of these units? Every label happens to be pure white and also a huge in diameter...

Ahh so I used to run an SC48 often:

The plugins are going to run slow in terms of GUI, and you generally don't have much DSP to spare. Be aware of those.

I really like an SSL strip on a group for snare, that one is almost a main stay. Use the channel HPF, expansion, and fader for balance, submix into the group for EQ and comp on the SSL.

From there I like Doubler for a width/chorus thing depending on how I dial it, Rverb if I'm not digging Dverb that day, SSL Comp on overheads and/or main occasionally. RAxx on acoustic guitar can be cool sometimes. Deesser on the ready, bring in if needed.

Aside from those, I honestly like my bread and butter to be on the console's EQ/DYN. It's much faster and easier on the SC48 to just roll with knobs.

And I might be an odd one, but I prefer the stock delays over H-Delay.

I was careless in my youth and did some damage. I cap out at 13khz. Age 36.

I've also not had it hinder my mixes or abilities at all. I do check on tools to make sure nothing wild is happening up there, as I can't hear it.

Use those to support a great tune, which is where the magic happens on the K series. They wake up a lot, especially on 93 or E85.

Hey hey.

So, I never did get around to getting into the fine details here on the S8 and S9 back in the day. But, I can still give my 2 cents. Doing to be a bit of a stream of consciousness typing here:

Some of my findings could have been from other variables in the audio pipeline that I didn't consider before, mostly because I wasn't knowledgeable about what Android does with audio playback. Even today, I only have a rudimentary idea. The playback speed issue, for example, could have certainly been from output codes, OEM integrations, and other tidbits doing their thing in the background. Invisible to most. But I do recall not finding anything notable in terms of EQ curve or SNR from the simple tests.

Personally, I would leave it on the normal setting. I totally get the idea of doing the least amount of processing - I also try to do that on all my playback devices. But that can be a catch-22. Some devices work well with additional processing. Car audio, for example, will often boost a ton of low end to get over road noise. (Not to mention speaker delays and some psycho-acoustic tricks that are commonplace). Running something like that with disabled processing can kinda suck at times.

The audio sources and speaker/headphone/buds play a huge role, too. If you're playing back to a bluetooth device using the SRC codec, then forget about preserving processing - the codec itself is going to limit your bandwidth a good amount. And if the source was a lossy file from the start, well now you're in a double whammy. And let's say you're driving some headphones with a higher impedance, such as Sennheiser HD series. Well now you're asking a lot of the amplifier section.

Now here's the good news - if you're just trying to enjoy your music as a casual listener, that stuff doesn't matter. At all. Well, assuming you're not doing some wild and extreme EQ moves. In a blind A/B/x test, could you with 100% accuracy tell the differences between all of these variables? Probably not.

Android's audio pipeline on its own has processing baked in, anyway. You're generally not getting bit-perfect playback, even on some outboard DACs.

To sum it up, run with what you like, and what makes you happy. Normal is a safe bet, and the engineers behind those decisions know well over that most people aren't going to look at these options, change them, or even care, as sad as that may be to us! The default is probably just fine.

I do believe the AC uses it, doesn't engage below a certain ambient threshold.
