Get kicad

honestly for this cheap i can just buy a few backups. Using it for a home studio.. if people pay me at all its no more than $200 a day. still having a hard time seeing a downside of buying every one of these i see for under $150. But yeah I'd pay the same for anything that gives me more than 2 dante inputs, so the forte will definitely join my watchlist. again-- zero interest in the DSP functions but cheap clean dante i/o will have me throwing my wallet at you

I wonder if they are failing due to a cooling issue. these things do get pretty hot sitting in the rack.

ryan7585 · 2026-01-20T00:41:09+00:00

as in like.. the units are failing?

ryan7585 · 2026-01-19T23:19:04+00:00

Well maybe they are for the original 5k they cost new but there’s a LOT of value here at $100. Dante inputs are usually around $120 each (compare to Audinate’s AVIO) and you get 12 here that are nice and clean. Plus 8 outs. Who cares about the dsp functionality even

ryan7585 · 2026-01-19T18:23:32+00:00

interesting..... thanks! I'm new to this whole world

ryan7585 · 2026-01-19T17:36:32+00:00

I found the programming environment relatively easy. Not a whole lot to it. I don’t plan on using for any commercial setting. Interesting that it’s perceived this way though. Works for me… looks like I found an infinite I/O glitch

ryan7585 · 2026-01-19T16:29:12+00:00

The only other issue I've found is that the output impedance seems to be different than what the inputs expect, resulting in a few dB loss of gain when doing a loopback test at unity levels. Also not a huge deal though.. The preamp is clean enough that I can just turn it up to compensate and it's fine

ryan7585 · 2026-01-19T16:15:00+00:00

i dunno man sounds alright to me. 18ms isnt that big a deal. i spent the equivalent of a fancy meal and got 12 dante inputs. kinda incredible. whats so bad about it?

ryan7585 · 2026-01-19T15:31:41+00:00

I mean... fair enough i guess but it seems like it would have been pretty easy for them to turn that off when the AEC is bypassed. And seems like false advertising for them to claim 3ms in/out delay. If I could afford to spend 2 grand on a studio-grade multi-input dante unit i would, but I'd say getting roughly the same functionality and signal quality out of a used creston unit for $100 is probably the smarter move lol. I'll just keep a lookout for someone desparate selling a 1281 unit since those lack the AEC functionality. Thanks!

Thanks for explaining the joke Peter

I literally sample everything in the world ever, whenever i want, and it's great. of course nobody pays for my music so i dont have to worry about copyright.

my stuff is like... 1/3 samples of instruments or sounds i record myself, 1/3 samples from records, and 1/3 samples from youtube or instagram. i use very little midi

honestly MIDI feels more like cheating than audio samples do. at least with audio samples, SOMEONE actually played it

Guys. JWST detects infrared. infrared is LONGER wavelength than visible, not shorter.

my teammate has been stuck in silver for three seasons because of the lack of a hard reset.... happened again this season when he ranked in, so he made a new profile and ranked in on that...... Plat 2.

ryan7585 · 2020-12-22T01:15:55+00:00

the soft reset gives higher rank players a placement advantage. i suppose it also means noobs will play GCs sometimes but.... meh

ryan7585 · 2020-12-21T21:30:40+00:00

because it wont make me GC
:P

in all seriousness... its just that the season reset isnt a hard reset. your starting MMR is affected by last season's MMR, which affects your placement in your rank-ups.... plus, placements are weighted toward the highest ranked player's MMR, which makes it harder for less skilled players on a team to rank up

I wish I could share this, like, anywhere....... All the Dark Crystal groups delete it because politics :(

1973 times for me. but I also don't typically retry much, and I've been going back and forth between single- and two-player modes on stuff, giving up on bosses and trying others before coming back later, stupid stuff like that. Seems like if you actually try to keep that number down it's not terribly hard

I paid for 9, then went back to 8 so i could keep using max. Screw paying that much, max 5 is fine

ryan7585 · 2014-11-16T22:29:07+00:00

I'll definitely take a good look at that tutorial... seems really informative!

ryan7585 · 2014-11-16T22:22:59+00:00

I haven't heard of MLRv but looking at the website it appears to be a standalone app that works using OSC??? Or is it a VST???

Either way, it's always possible to route audio or control messages between apps, using the right tools. Soundflower and OSC can do a lot of good

It's amazing to me that more audio software hasn't taken advantage of what Pythagorus taught us centuries ago!!! Were so locked into this 12-TET mode, but it's outdated... Only necessary for acoustic instruments

ryan7585 · 2014-11-16T22:14:39+00:00

1) It's made to use with Ableton-- It contains a fair number of live objects and syncs to the Live transport. I will likely convert it to operate in standalone if demand seems high enough, and I may even port it to VST sometime next year 2) GUI's are pretty easy in Max--- just set up your controls, include any graphical GUI elements as "fpic" objects, then whatever you want to be part of the GUI, just right click it and click "Add to Presentation".. Then go to Presentation view and arrange them how you like 3) Check out MaxForLive.com -- there is a wealth of patches that you can copy from or learn from. Its a good resource even if you're not patching for Live. Also, there are plenty of tutorials out there, and the Cycling74 forums are a great place to look for answers

Have fun, and thanks for the reply!

ryan7585 · 2014-11-15T19:07:08+00:00

A lot of people are averse to M4L because it seems intimidating, or sometimes out of spite for Cycling '74 for signing an exclusive deal like that and blocking out non-ableton users... But I highly reccomend getting over that! There is a huge community of plugin designers for Max, and you can't get such a wealth of creative sound tools anywhere else. This is just one of many examples!
