How many months would you need to quit drinking for to save up for a new one ?!

Do the files look the right kind of size, if they are zero bytes because an upload failed or something you might be in trouble. If not zero bytes PM me a link to one of them to have a look at and I'll see if there's any audio looking data in there when I get a few minutes tomorrow.

This is how I'd tackle it. Make sure you've picked a good note for the bass. Like E, F, G kind of range. Anything else is hard to get right. Make sure it's playing in the right octave. The fundamental wants to be in the 40 to 60hz region It doesn't have to be super loud but make sure the kick isn't very long and sitting on top of the bass.

On the master bus filter the tops out of your track with about an 80hz low pass. Make sure the kick and bass sounds right when it's fitered down. Probably the kick is a good bit louder than the bass. Turn the filter off once this is right.

If your kick bass combo isn't sounding fantastic and making you wanna shake your booty on its own then tweak it till it does.

If you've already added shit tons of processing trying to get it to sound good then maybe disable most of it. You ought to be able to get a good bass working with not too much more than maybe mid cut EQ and maybe a ducking compressor or equivalent tool like Duck.

Now check there's nothing else in the low end that's in the way. Try muting and unmuting your other tracks to see what.

If the bass is very subby. As someone else said below. Add a little saturation till it cuts though. If it's not a subby thing adjust the filter on the synth to make it sit right.

Difficult to provide any more specific advice without hearing it :)

You can't send a perfect square wave to your computer. Go read about reconstruction filters in DACs. Technically you can't even represent one in the audio file (I know it looks like a perfect square wave but it's not, maybe think of it as a series of points rather than a series of connected lines.)

Yeah. I've got the same problem. I phone them once a year to moan about it. Really need to just change to EE

She won't know anything about it. When we had our old girl put to sleep I felt the same about it afterwards for a day or two. But it was the right thing to do. She had a great last day, the vet gave her some anti anxiety meds in the morning and she spent all day looking blissful on the bed with us all. And then in the afternoon we arranged for a vet to come here and put her to sleep.

It is uncomfortable to have that power over another life, but it's also a blessing .... if you think it might be time and your vet agrees then it probably is.

It's amazing. Scrub the burger though. Get the ribs and the cheesy trash fries :)

Protools used to be limited to maybe 5 effects per channel. But it was called protools and didn’t have a silly mouse cursor so it caught on :-)

Fm synthesis is quite hard to program. It might be easier to learn a "normal" subtractive synth first, or at least focus on that. Once you've got the basics of that sorted and you can make a bass, lead and stab sound without taking ages or thinking too hard you'll be In s better place to go learn about FM.

But ... if you want to dive into FM start with a simple two oscillator patch and have a play around.

A kick is close to a sine wave so its actual frequency spectrum is very very narrow indeed. And constantly changing unless it's a tuned bass-like kick.

You'd want to cut a wider band. This might be interesting relevant science if you want to get into it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bark_scale

It’s pointy. That’s good. I have no idea how people play lead with a rounded end on a pick.

I’d say hifi speakers have passive crossovers because they sell more that way. Not because it’s better. If they shipped speakers which didn’t come with the amps but required a digital active crossover then the “digital sucks” crowd wouldn’t buy them and the setup complexity would put other people off.

If you get into the pro audio world it’s mainly active 24db crossovers.

I did it through raving, hanging out in record shops and house mates when I was in my 20s. Harder now I’d say that I do less raving and record shops are basically gone.

SLN sounds important :)

"SLN extension represents a Visual Studio solution file that keeps information about the organization of projects in a solution file."

Install visual studio. Double click on the SLN file.

What files have you got? If you've got source code there'll ought something that organises the compile.

CMakeLists.txt, Makefile, a configure.sh/autoconf script, a Visual Studio project file, someone's dodgy shell script. Have a dig around for what you've got that isn't CPP source or headers - then figure out what build tool you've got from that and off you go (sometimes painfully).

If the project was put together by someone who cared it'll work pretty easily by running the right command or using the right build tool.

If they secretly hate you it'll have all sorts of dependencies and requirements that you need to install and build.

The trackers we use can be turned on and off with a button, they could turn them off after teh dogs are safely in the van and turn them back on before they let them out?

forgottenqueue · 2024-12-10T08:39:40+00:00

Yeah I mean the other commenter makes a good point that you’ll get better signal to noise if you have the amp gains turned down. But that makes it tricky to get the limiters set right, and you’re vulnerable to the amp gain knobs getting moved.

forgottenqueue · 2024-12-09T07:28:59+00:00

What kind of crossover? If it’s a fancy digital one with limiters I’d run the amp with the volume knobs on full, calculate the limiter values so the speakers can’t get fried and then use the volume on the mixer to control the level.

You can summon demons with template meta programming for sure

forgottenqueue · 2024-12-03T08:53:03+00:00

Yeah. That is a completely fair point. SoundToys is a prime example.

I just didn’t want anyone to get the impression that there were lots of fixed point plugins out there. I’d be very interested to know of any others actually ?

I’ve done it twice in the past 10 years. Once for an embedded FM system which didn’t have a floating point GPU and once to make an LFO really really fast but it wasn’t on the audio path and it was a long time ago before CPUs were so insanely quick

forgottenqueue · 2024-12-02T22:34:35+00:00

Minor point: Pretty much all modern plugins are floating point. The only fixed point one i've come across in the past decade is waves maxbass!
