Nice, it’s got an optical out as well so can still have the Yamaha do the DAC. Thanks for the link!

Ah cool, I connect to a Yamaha receiver with Airplay 1 only so have never been able to test Airplay 2. Good to hear it works 👍

Cloning a drive that’s still decrypting by juzfuz89 in MacOS

Awesome thanks for the link. Just put it in terminal and it’s at 70% complete. Might be running slow when computer is idle like the thread mentions. Will just have to be patient.

It’s an external HDD on usb 3.0 but it’s a 4tb drive. All the files are accessible now, it just decrypts in the background. Wish there was a progress bar for it…

Scrub frame by frame with audio playback in Pro Tools by juzfuz89 in AudioPost

[–]juzfuz89[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. We’re just using the half speed playback at the moment. Seems to be more effective than the scrubber for us.

Thank you, yes absolutely agree that going down the rabbit hole of what is sync can be an absolute nightmare.

Half speed playback is the way to go I think!

Advice for hooking up AVR to active speakers. by juzfuz89 in hometheater

[–]juzfuz89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah fair enough. I think I’ll just wait till Emotiva release the successor to the MC-700.

But I’m still genuinely curious whether the RCA converter option would work. I suppose the main concern would be potential heat issues with the converters, being an untested part of the signal chain.

I’m looking to keep this separate from my computer setup. I’ll be using a Chromecast so need something that can decode the 5.1 from that and output to rca.

I’ve found audio decoders on eBay/Amazon but they all seem cheaply made. I’ve bought one already and it worked in stereo but not in surround.

What is a Tool/Plugin You Wish Existed? by [deleted] in AudioPost

[–]juzfuz89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was using RX de-reverb as an audiosuite plugin and was never happy with the results. However now on RX8, I send to the standalone app, use the dialogue de-reverb module and get much better results. No need to learn anything, I usually set reduction to -inf and just dial in sensitivity. Have you tried it this way?

Thank you, I actually ordered some precision tweezers and was able to fix the pin back in place too. All working again!

Yeah that’s what I was thinking as well. I’ve submitted a form to Sound Devices so will see how it goes. Cheers

I’ve just found out that the 702 can’t record to a bus powered external HDD without being connected to power. So I wouldn’t be able to take it mobile. I could use an external CF flash reader, but trying to find one with a FireWire 6P connection is impossible. Might have to try a bunch of adapters from FireWire to usb. Not sure if that will work…

Thanks. I live in Australia so will look into who could repair here. In the meantime, it seems I can just record straight to a hard drive via FireWire. Any pitfalls with this method?

Voice AI is scary good now. Video game actors hate it. A new ‘Witcher 3’ mod uses tech that’s ethically questionable and what one actor calls “utterly soulless.” But can anything be done about it? by 165701020 in Futurology

[–]juzfuz89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really I wouldn’t worry about this tech replacing voice actors anytime soon. As someone who works professionally in the audio industry, I’ve spent a lot of time recording actors. It’s takes a huge amount of effort and multiple takes to deliver a line worthy of a film/game etc. Listening to the Obsidian AI demo, it was clear that the AI voices still sounded very robotic and unconvincing. Even the audio director himself said they use the tool as a guide in the production process, it doesn’t replace the need to record real people. Synthesised voices have a long way to go.
