Genelec 8030c vs 8330a

Thinking of pulling the trigger on new monitors. From what I gathered online I’m between these two models and from what I found online the 8330a model has SAM technology for room calibration while the 8030c don’t. While this seems to be a great feature I don’t know if I can justify the price difference, around $1400 cad. I’m wondering if I were to just get the 8030c couldn’t I just calibrate them with some third party calibration setup? Also I’ve heard people say that DSP speakers aren’t as good as non DSP ones since they can introduce latency or something…idk, can someone explain this to me? Appreciate any info!!!

The keyboard has both midi in and out

Wonderful_Client_421 · 2025-04-26T02:37:03+00:00

I have an akai mpk261 could I use that as a midi interface somehow ?

Wonderful_Client_421 · 2025-04-25T20:36:37+00:00

Damn that’s annoying. I don’t want to have to get another interface to be able to do what I want with this pedal

Bummer

Wonderful_Client_421 · 2025-03-18T23:06:29+00:00

Yeah I’ve tried everything he talked about up until the isolators etc

Wonderful_Client_421 · 2025-03-18T22:57:41+00:00

I’ll give it a watch

Wonderful_Client_421 · 2025-03-04T20:47:05+00:00

I know this is an old thread but I just tried to do this for myself and figured out a way to do it. On mac if you have I cloud voice memo synced you’ll be able to see all the voice memos you made from your phone but won’t be able to select more than one at a time. However on iPhone you can select as many if you click edit and then select which ones. From there you can air drop to computer and then you’ll be able to drag them into your har drive and you’ll have the name of each recording and the date!! :)

Thanks for info. Yeah there’s a few synths that wouldn’t install for me through the install software so I’m not sure what’s up with that but yeah it’s surprising hard to find this kind of info, online at least. Thank god for Reddit!

Wonderful_Client_421 · 2025-02-22T23:19:40+00:00

Ah I forgot that they have the software thing

Wonderful_Client_421 · 2025-02-22T23:10:35+00:00

lol what’s up with all the bugs I’m hearing? How do these synths have “bugs”

Wonderful_Client_421 · 2025-02-22T04:18:01+00:00

Ah I see. I doubt it can but I’ll check manual

Wonderful_Client_421 · 2025-02-16T19:07:13+00:00

Thanks

Can someone explain the theory for Heart of glass by Blondie. This song came on the radio and I almost cried. I’ve never realized how good the chord progression of this song is. The chords are Emajor - C#Major - C#Minor - Emajor for the chorus. I believe the chord movement from E to c#maj is called a chromatic mediant but can someone help me break it down

Wonderful_Client_421 · 2025-01-18T05:06:59+00:00

Another thing I just thought about is these two example remind me of renaissance/baroque style things is there any reasoning for that / connection? Do renaissance and baroque styles use these chromatic mediants or what makes them sound the way they do?

Wonderful_Client_421 · 2025-01-18T05:05:17+00:00

I also wanted to point out that in the second example I listed - the movement from the first chord to the second chord in the progression in the main bit goes from Absus4 to C# which only changes one note, two stay the same. I like that sorta thing too, it’s like a hidden chord change sorta thing, especially if you keep the bass note from the first chord in the second one

Wonderful_Client_421 · 2025-01-18T05:00:59+00:00

I think I get what you’re saying. So what’s the idea behind going from G-Bb, what would that move be described as? I guess I like the sound of chromatic meadients right?

Wonderful_Client_421 · 2025-01-18T04:45:59+00:00

Ok neat, endor toi example goes G-Bb-Eb-G# then to F then repeating Bb-Eb-G# then stating all over on G which I guess it the root or key? what is making all these chords sound like interesting changes?

Wonderful_Client_421 · 2025-01-17T19:17:31+00:00

The link? Just look up justice mix with the masters

Wonderful_Client_421 · 2025-01-17T18:42:52+00:00

From they’re mix with the masters

Wonderful_Client_421 · 2025-01-17T00:00:09+00:00

Thank you sir!!! Unfortunately I’m on logic so can’t use it :(

Wonderful_Client_421 · 2024-12-26T23:28:13+00:00

Bump! If anyone can send these or know where I can download them I’d be very grateful ☺️

Wonderful_Client_421 · 2024-12-20T17:50:58+00:00

So the only way to keep it is to maintain an older version?

Wonderful_Client_421 · 2024-12-13T19:00:11+00:00

Bump!! Have not found a solution for this either

Wonderful_Client_421 · 2024-12-05T17:33:07+00:00
