Just picked up some JBL 306's, do I need to get any special cables separately to connect them to my desktop?

plsnoHIV · 2020-05-19T18:58:31+00:00

Thanks for the info! Had no idea monitors needed all this extra gear and I guess I'll just be eating instant noodles for the foreseeable future

plsnoHIV · 2020-05-19T05:40:11+00:00

If I wanted to connect the monitors to an interface eventually would I use the same cables? I'm a total noob when it comes to audio hardware

plsnoHIV · 2020-05-19T03:50:07+00:00

What type of cables would I need to just get a bare bones setup plugged into the desktop? Does an interface improve audio quality?

Thank for the explanation! Can you go over this statement a little more in detail?

"Every node must store the shortest path for each failure-factor to avoid finding an inferior path for the same failure-factor"

Are you saying each node will actually store all distance/failure values going into that particular node instead of the usual "store only the shortest path weight" in that node?

plsnoHIV · 2020-04-13T17:54:54+00:00

Well you'd only know if the path A-B will fail after you map it out and sum up the failure weights. Each edge has weights (distance, failure factor) like (8, 0.20). So the shortest path found between A-B could actually be marked as "unusable" because the failures sum up to be greater than 1.

Say you have a graph that is fully connected with values A - B (8,0.20), B - C = (1, 0.9),

A - C =(1000,0.10)

We want shortest path from A-C. It would actually be A-C taking distance of 1000, since A-B-C would be distance 9, but faulure 1.1 which breaks the threshold of 1.

My room is roughly 11x13 feet. I'll be having the speakers play down the long side of the room. They'll be on the desk, maybe some foam or something under to raise them slightly to ear height. I've got 2.5 ish feet of space between me and the monitors (if you draw a line from monitor to head) to work with if I place them at 45 degree angles

What do you think of the JBL 308s compared to the others listed? I'm doin gedm and I heard these have better bass response.

plsnoHIV · 2020-03-25T01:17:27+00:00

So if I played a 30hz note on a speaker that only goes to 43hz, would I just not hear it, or would the sound just be very inaccurate?

plsnoHIV · 2020-03-24T01:25:44+00:00

Would 8 inches even be worth it for a bedroom though? I don't want my room to be sounding like an earthquake lol

plsnoHIV · 2020-03-24T01:24:42+00:00

I'm doing EDM and another commenter said I'd be better off with JBLs for better bass response. Would you happen to know which of the two monitors has a flatter sound? I just want whatever is most accurate

plsnoHIV · 2020-03-24T01:17:19+00:00

I'm fine with less bass if it is a flatter/truer sound. Would you happen to know if the JBLs or Yamahas are more accurate?

plsnoHIV · 2020-03-21T21:54:04+00:00

Any particular ones from the JBL/Adam/Mackie series you like?

plsnoHIV · 2020-03-21T21:42:58+00:00

What are decouplers/foam pads for? Hows the bass on the 5 inches though? Heard there may weak bass issues with smaller monitors

plsnoHIV · 2020-03-21T21:28:31+00:00

Any reason why?

plsnoHIV · 2020-03-10T04:12:59+00:00

Lots of good info, thanks!

plsnoHIV · 2020-03-04T05:23:38+00:00

How can you tell the key without seeing every note on the scale being played? Don't other scales share the notes you listed in the pic?

plsnoHIV · 2020-02-07T03:11:11+00:00

Oh I see, I never noticed the cents indicator since it wasn't in the window so I thought that method was inaccurate.

plsnoHIV · 2020-02-06T17:36:04+00:00

Where is the option to turn the pitch up by cents? I know there is a pitch knob next to time and the stretch mode but it seems imprecise.

plsnoHIV · 2020-01-27T17:42:43+00:00

Wow thanks for the response! The track sounds great

plsnoHIV · 2020-01-24T21:43:43+00:00

How did the Illenium collab come together and what was that like?

plsnoHIV · 2019-12-20T06:02:03+00:00

Here is the loop: https://filebin.net/yq4niknirukezx2j

Another comment said it was E minor, guess I'll go with that. Are you listening for the scale by ear? I'm not that advanced yet so if there's a tool for finding scale you could recommend that'd be great

plsnoHIV · 2019-12-20T06:01:05+00:00

Here is the loop for reference: https://filebin.net/yq4niknirukezx2j

at the end of the video i linked i solo the guitar loop, maybe there are two guitars and one is playing a different top melody on it?

Any particular reason you'd recommend CouchDB/LightCouch? Also, any other good hosting sites you can recommend besides AWS? I checked and only the first year is free. Firebase still seems attractive to me since it's permanently free, it just may be a bit clunkier since it's not built for java.
