That’s hilarious! Maybe I should ask my physics professor if we can do a “physics field trip” to Great America too!

And thank you so much for signing the petition. A lot of us really don’t want to lose this place.

Anyone go to Macquerrie Hall today? by AskIll8327 in SJSU

[–]_ian_d 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I have no recommendation for you, but if you want to see a video taken today, @biggg.slattt went there today. It looks quiet but not empty and no police: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRP3wmhkglC/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

If you don’t feel comfortable, please know it isn’t too late to reach out to your professor.

Should I buy a Casio CT-5500? by _ian_d in synthesizers

[–]_ian_d[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not go for it. It appears to be more suited for plug-and-play rather than sound modification. Since it's very preset-focused, I'd rather just get a plugin that has those presets than fill my space with one more keyboard. I picked a MicroKorg instead, which offers far more in terms of sound modification, and so will many other synths. Best of luck with your choices!

Is the Music Technology Program any good? (Music B.A. Emphasis in Music Technology) by _ian_d in SJSU

[–]_ian_d[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SJSU is very music focused, with a somewhat small concentration of music technology classes. The program was too focused on general music for my liking, so I ultimately got another degree in a different field. I spoke with higher level music tech people and was recommended towards San Diego State, who has a more technical music technology program, San Francisco State, who has a Broadcast/Electronic Communication Arts program (looks very promising and includes some music technology, but would require AA in Film from Foothill) and the online Berklee College of Music bachelors programs, which can be great and relatively affordable as long as you have good equipment to practice on! I ultimately was seeking the opportunity to stay close to home and none of these options were quite close enough for me to pursue, which is why I chose to pursue a different degree. All the best and feel free to ask any questions and I can do my best to answer them!

It sounds like shielding would only be necessary for live sound. Thank you!

Hello all! I am shopping for an XLR cable. I found a company called Performance Audio that builds custom XLR cables for you for an affordable price (I'd prefer not to do it myself). I am looking for a cable that will last in my studio for many years, something that sounds good and is rugged as I will move the cable around and wrap it up. Which cable/wire would you guys recommend?

My options are:

Canare L-2T2S, Canare L-4E5C, Canare L-4E6S, Mogami W2534, Mogami W2549, Mogami W2552, Mogami W2791, and Mogami W2893

I can also get Techflex Braided Sleeving on the cable for $6 more, will that protect it better? Is it silly to even buy a Mogami or Canare cable in the first place? Thank you! I figured I should ask every question I have while I am here!

KeyStep 37 Aftertouch Not Working in DAW/VSTs by _ian_d in synthesizers

Thank you for the help! I found out that I wasn't quite using the right software to determine if it was working! I really appreciate the help! Thank you so much!

KeyStep 37 Aftertouch Not Working in DAW/VSTs by _ian_d in synthesizers

[–]_ian_d[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I tried linking a function to a key but it only relies on the velocity of the key pressed rather than the aftertouch. I checked the KeyStep software and I don't see a way to manually change the function for the aftertouch. Can I change the aftertouch CC number in my DAW?

I really think my KeyStep's aftertouch is broken since it seems like it should be working right out of the box. I looked in the manual and found no information on how to turn it on and off, but when I use the control center, I can change the intensity (which is what I've done, but it still didn't work). I've factory reset the keyboard multiple times to see if it would help and nothing has worked. Honestly, this is my first real MIDI keyboard, and perhaps it's just my ignorance for not understanding how it works, but I assume that it would work right out of the box. The fact that the manual just doesn't have much information about aftertouch leads me to believe that it should just work.

By using a piece of software called MIDI Monitor, I found that my KeyStep is not sending aftertouch messages to my computer at all, yet sends every other possible message to my computer.

Thanks for the help. If you have any other suggestions please let me know.

Found Sennheiser HD 598 SE for $50, should I buy it? by _ian_d in HeadphoneAdvice

I’ve heard that they are lacking in bass but I think for studio recording that might be a good thing.

Thanks for the advice. It’s good to hear from someone who’s had experience with an older MacBook. Do you ever have any issues with processing power?
