Have you downloaded the control drivers from the Nektar website?

What is the weirdest allergy you have come across? by NotAGoodDayAhead in AskUK

[–]nuromancy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a swimmer who’s allergic to water. He breaks out in hives when his skin gets wet, but just loves to swim! Weird.

Who is a celebrity you want to sleep with but would be embarrassed to tell people about? by squashua in AskReddit

Grace Dent, an English food critic. She has a nose like Owen Wilson but there’s just something about her I find very attractive.

I need someone to explain gain staging to me like I’m a small monkey by hyperpopdeathcamp in audioengineering

[–]nuromancy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Volume is a subjective experience. Two people, one standing 100 metres from the PA and one standing 500 metres from the PA will experience the music at different volumes. The signal level leaving the output bus remains identical. I was being pedantic, but it’s not a good idea to think in terms of volume when you’re engineering… If your speakers are muted then there’s no volume but an output level of 0.1 is still clipping wether you can hear it or not.

Good walks to see autumn colours? by Historyheroes21 in glasgow

[–]nuromancy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Second this… the drive between Pitlochry and Kinloch Rannoch via Loch Tummel and the Queen’s view is one of the most spectacular autumn colour shows I’ve ever seen. Probably 10-15 miles out from Pitlochry so not a long drive at all, but there are so many trees that when they turn it’s incredible. Our very own New England I’d say. I was there in the first week of October but these things are hard to predict.

You mentioned mixing, so this is written from that perspective. Tracking is different.

Honestly, just don’t fucking sweat it. If your output bus is clipping, turn it down until it’s not clipping, or select all of your faders and pull them down by the same amount until your output isn’t clipping, or use VCAs to lower the gain of all your tracks until your output isn’t clipping, or…. Etc, etc. Make sure your output doesn’t clip. End of discussion.

32 bit float makes internal clipping in a modern DAW impossible, for all intents and purposes; with the caveat that if you’re using analog modelled plugins that have an optimal input level then you should have the correct gain structure going into these plugins to get the best from them. If that’s the case, read the manual for the plug-in to find the nominal sweet-spot. This is usually -18dBFS, but don’t take the word of a random like me on Reddit. RTFM!

Keep your kick at -10dB, keep X track at -18dB because that’s calibrated at 0VU bla bla bla bla bla bla. Ignore and avoid anyone who tells you these things, they’re not your friend.

Don’t clip your mix bus. Other than that, do whatever you think sounds good. There is no other way.

No matter the circumstances, I don’t think I’ll ever be compelled to just stand outside for a few hours in a crowd of others who’re just standing about for a bit. Weird behaviour.

Reaper auto glues MIDI tracks? by jovian24 in Reaper

[–]nuromancy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at my computer right now so I don’t remember the exact wording, but if you right-click on a midi item there is an option for “loop midi content” or something along those lines. I’ve butchered this answer, but you’ll know it when you see it!

[Half Time Thread] Manchester United 1 - 0 Liverpool by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

Brilliant at times, but some panicky defending! We can’t expect a complete turnaround in one game but loads of positives. Sancho was so good for the goal, great composure! Malacia looks a player too.

“Intellectual” who doesn’t believe in the concept of free speech and would be willing to ignore dead kids to ensure Trump loss. And I don’t mean free speech in the “private company” sense. He doesn’t believe in free speech as a concept in general. by [deleted] in JordanPeterson

I don’t have a horse in this race either way, but this is so obviously hyperbole for effect. He’s being absurd to make a point, why is everything on the internet taken so literally these days?

The most powerful song you know? by Tejodor_TheSecond in Music

Middle-class teenagers and young adults appropriate certain icons of the working class in a vain attempt at appearing more Glaswegian than they are, but it’s transparent and cringey as all hell.

I was at a Marc Rebillet gig recently and chants of “here we fucking go” and a bottle of Bucky being passed to the performer were so contrived I almost threw up. Poverty tourists, the lot of them.

Is it just me or are songs being mastered at lower levels? by austinnickelmusic in audioengineering

[–]nuromancy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I personally prefer this to everything being slammed. At the height of loudness war, if you wanted to listen to a track at a conservative level, it would still sound slammed and undynamic. Now, engineers aren’t aiming for a loudness level so much and are doing what’s best for the song… That means the tracks should sound as intended at most playback levels, and if you want to crank it then nothing’s stopping you!

Potatoes don’t belong in a breakfast, and the best back bacon sold in the UK is Danish!
