          I love the fact that you keep on learning when you do audio. I currently have a few devices which have unstable outputs. I have connected them to my sub mixer which does the conversion to stable on its Master outputs TRS which go to the main mixing console.

            Because of reasons that I'm still tracing down the sub mixer cannot cut the hum that comes from the unstable connections enough so that it goes down real far within the noise plane. Just for fun I powered off the sub mixer pushed up the volume of my headphone amp was not surprised that I was still hearing that hum. One by one I pulled out the connectors of my unstable audio devices

              Only when the final device was pulled off the hum disappeared. Mind you that the sub mixer is powered off so no noise should come through. Then I remembered that the negative (sleeve) side of the devices was of course still connected with the main mixing console. When the devices are connected On a passive or active direct box the hum is pushed down by The Transformers to level which is acceptable, somewhere at minus 68dB

                ¡The lesson learned is that the noise is still carried through the sleeve pole of the devices, **through** the powered off sub mixer, all the way up to the main mixing console!

                I have a replacement coming in, of the important recording audio device, which comes with proper 1/4" connections. All the unstable devices have RCA outputs.

                I love how physics works, especially when it challenges my logic thought

                  I should also mention that the unstable output devices are connected with the sub mixer through RCA to 1/4" cables, with No stable matching Transformers in between. The cables are 3 meters in length.

                  When I want to record from the main audio device, I take a passive or active direct box with the active direct box padded to -20dB.

                    However I am tired of constantly switching between the sub mixer which is very handy, for all my instruments and a direct connection to the main console which costs me two XLR connectors, and literally two mics less to connect
                    The cables are of 3m in length which is within the parameters of an instrument cable that should be no more than 6 - 9 meters. This means the cables are not picking up any noise from the environment

                      There are hundreds of ways of connecting an effect to your mixing console. There is one way to connect an effect to my sub mixer

                      When you use the Auxiliary busses you have to send the signal through a tip/sleeve cable to the effect, then return the signal to the console Aux return Channel. For a stereo effect you need to use two Aux busses.
                      Your console has send Pot. meters and return Pot. meters for every bus.

                      /7

                        @RadioAzureus@mastodon.social

                        Just like with built in effects your Send is decided by Aux Send your Return is decided by Aux Return which gives The amount of decibels dB of the effect in the mix

                        If your console only has two Aux busses you can either use both for the stereo effect, or use one for two discrete effects if you do not wish to daisy chain them. You will then have two parallel effects which can be used layered on your whole mix.

                        /8

                          In case you've used your monitor outputs on your console for a headphone Amp & you need one Aux bus to send a signal to a separate monitor on the ground, you will only be able to use mono effects in your mix using Aux bus two. I would advise you to use the headphone output from your sub mixer to feed your headphone amp.

                          You may also connect your effect using an insert cable so that it works dedicated only on one channel

                          /9

                            The insert cable uses the tip as the Aux Send and the ring as the Aux Return

                            As you can see the possibilities are quite vast since it is very very easy to connect your beautiful effects from your Effect Rack to your console.

                              Wiring inserts

                              Console insert end get's wired like this...

                              TRS:

                                Dynamic unit end get's wired like this

                                Input:
                                XLR/TRS

                                  Output
                                  XLR/TRS
                                  Pin 2/Tip=output positive and is connected to ring of insert TRS
                                  Pin 1/Ring=output low and is connected to sleeve of insert TRS
                                  Pin 3/Sleeve=output ground and is connected to sleeve of insert TRS

                                  Pin 3/Sleeve should be soldered to Pin1/ring on both input and output of dynamics unit
                                  IE Pin 3/Sleeve on input is soldered to Pin1/ring on input and Pin 3/Sleeve on output is soldered to Pin 1/ring on output: shorting to ground

                                    So if the dynamics has XLR input/outputs you'll wind up with a cable like this

                                    TRS on one end and one male, one female XLR on the other end
                                    Tip of TRS connects to pin 2 of male
                                    Ring of TRS connects to pin 2 of female
                                    Sleeve of TRS connects to pin 1 of male and female
                                    Pin 3 of male and female get soldered to their respective pin 1's.

                                      I discovered a interesting function on an effect of mine. The function auto ducks the frequencies where our voices reside so you can easily sing over regular songs.

                                      I shall explore this Sub function further, but I know this already from other effects. This sub function is only briefly mentioned within the manual

                                        The vocal auto ducking function only works when a dual channel signal is fed into the effect.
                                        I had put a mono signal into the effect and it of course failed.

                                          Now I have about two hundred(!) yes TWO HUNDRED more effects in my arsenal! So for my Bass Guitars & other instruments I now have ALL effects that I need extra, which I dont need as seperate discrete components. How? Go look up FX2000 and Behringer than come back here and tell me ;)

                                          Here I can only do 500 bytes (why not 512?) so I post about that at bsd.cafe

                                              Musicians should always check out which effect equipment is available in rack mount format.
                                              This is especially important for Bass and Guitar 🎸 players

                                              They should just ask engineers who will gladly provide the information. It is astounding to see how many pedal FX are sold for more than 300 USD, which are just two daisy chained FX easily achieved with rack mount FX units which have more than 100 different effects in total!

                                                Now certain FX are handy to have in a separate unit, because I want to build my effect chain physically and they just sound different, in a nicer way, when you have them physical, as an analog effect unit
                                                For those I gladly pay the 60 to 120 dollars for effect pedals, which are built like a tank, as portrait by the Joyo FX

                                                  Be very wary of Boutique FX when you are not a professional player, nor want to become a professional instrument player, because Boutique effects are Boutique
                                                  That means they are often just built in a series of 48 or less
                                                  That also means that you will pay between $400 and $1000 per unit, which Joyo can produce for you and sell for 60 to 100 USD, often surpassing the boutique unit simply because Joyo put in extra electronics!

                                                    Extra electronics to make sure that the effect sounds not just like the original, but even better.

                                                    Boutique effects do not have to be built like a tank

                                                    Joyo effect are always built like a tank.

                                                    Many Boutique Effects also lack certain critical features because the Professional player targeted has those on other FX units, which you don't possess

                                                            Do you want to guess which instrument I was playing with?

                                                            The photograph is a hint. The musical style is metal. I have thoroughly enjoyed playing with my Short Scale Bass

                                                              Radio Azureus »

                                                              In this photograph you can clearly see the limitations of a very small image sensor in relationship to a highly Dynamic scene.

                                                              My Nikon bodies and my Sony body which also takes my Minolta Lenses, here 50mm f1.2, have much larger sensors and would have never failed in such a horrible manner.

                                                              In this scene I portray how good the lighting arrangement is on the Behringer rack mount effect

                                                                  After verifying that the fine tuning was done properly, I'll run the Bass session later this night

I made contact with few people playing the styles that I like, in a musical jamming environment. These musicians are seasoned have been playing for 50 plus years and know their instruments. I've interacted with a Tenor Saxophone 🎷 player a trumpet player, and a bass player

The dominant color is red, with the word "TREM" from the effect tremolo, prominently displayed in bright red neon letters, suggesting a connection to a effect system. The letters are vertically aligned, with each letter separated by a small gap. Surrounding the word "TREM" are several red lights, some of which are rectangular and others are square, creating a pattern that could indicate operational status or signaling. Additionally, there are a few green lights, which are less prominent and appear at the bottom of the image. The overall effect is a stark contrast between the bright lights and the dark surroundings, emphasizing the illuminated elements.

The photograph was illuminated with a warming light and was also filtered with an 85 f warming filter

Make no mistake it is also achieved with any of the Joyo Overdrive pedals. The difference is that with the Behringer it takes longer before the effect is prominent.

I just found out the expose on and his sexually predatory abuse of Black underage teen girls and women while at BBC was officially cleared and has been up for some time.

                                                                                                  Yes, I contributed major insight and information used to finish this report and hold this man, AND the BBC, accountable for their neglectful behavior.

                                                                                                  I’m not proud, nor am I happy it took 25 years to get to this point. But it is done.

                                                                                                    (By comparison, I would classify Qobuz as a combined streaming and purchase platform, given that much of their catalog is equally available for both DRM-free; and at least Spotify as a pure streaming platform, because they don't let you buy to keep at all.)

                                                                                                      As part of the movement, we will personally try to listen to more music from Europe, especially from other European countries other than our own, but we need suggestions.

                                                                                                      What if we did this together? This can help us discover a lot of nice music from our European friends. 😀 🇪🇺

                                                                                                      So we thought it might be nice to create themed playlists with songs from different European artists.

                                                                                                      Instead of letting the algorithm of your music streaming app decide our weekly recommendations based on paid content from record labels, the random recommendations of the Mastodon community could expand our musical horizons and help boosting European music. 🎻

                                                                                                      Each week we could define a theme (e.g. music for a rainy day, songs with clever lyrics, etc.) and invite everyone to recommend a European song that fits the theme. We would collect the suggestions and create a public playlist somewhere (where?).

                                                                                                      To decide on weekly themes, we could make polls a week in advance and on a certain day everyone would submit their song suggestions.

                                                                                                      Are there people here who are interested in participating?

                                                                                                        Unlike the previous one, I’d like to come up with more meaningful titles, with a somewhat poetic and/or autobiographical vibe, but I’m not even sure it would be necessary or useful. Not to mention writing titles will take me more time, no doubt about that.

                                                                                                        What would you prefer?

                                                                                                              The synth line that arrives at 03:44 minutes is direct from August 2003, reminiscent of that summer month's psy{trance/breaks/progressive} desert event by LA's then-epic group, "Moon Tribe" held always on the full moon, deep into the wilds of the Mojave desert. Unofficial, never "permitted" by the state for us to use our own lands, so long as it was remote enough to be "in the middle of no-where".

                                                                                                              Down a series of very specifically not-paved sandy desert tracks and land-management "access roads"... with several hundred of the group present, a massive full sound-system encompassed a parachute tented impromptu enclave. The Moon Tribe events were never formal, and they lasted as long as everyone wanted to stay out there, or until supplies and water and a need for a cold shower and more ice required a return to the 'civilized world'.

                                                                                                              Twenty two years later, presently in that civilized world, sitting at my desk in another state so far away in all respects, once again there persists an awe and encompassing love for the mind's ability to transport snapshots of the sensory realm across space-time; only now simply close your eyes, mediate breathing, meditate on the flow of electrons, and open a channel into the mind's eye from that same starry night sky, the cool desert breeze brushing upon wetted lips, a pulsing body sensation from the ever-present bass reverberating a connection - enabling the channeling of sensation into The Now, with a simple synth-line unifying two sensory realms of energy more than two decades apart.

                                                                                                              > "How beautiful it must be, to be alive, to feel, to sense, to remember."

Why does it come up during periods where my mind gravitates towards wanting to hear PsyTrance? There's an old research document that I've been writing over the years, describing "'aural / neuronal data processing' as it relates to sensory response associations within the neuro-endocrine system's programming pathways", and this describes how certain musical response evokes a chemical response deep within the Dopaminergic Pathways of the brain; it's a neurological look into the scientific manner which define how and why are capable of the "Experience and Feeling of Music".

The LC s the principal site for brain synthesis of norepinephrine (noradrenaline).

                                                                                                                      > The locus coeruleus and the areas of the body affected by the norepinephrine it produces are described collectively as the locus coeruleus-noradrenergic system or LC-NA system.[4] Norepinephrine may also be released directly into the blood from the adrenal medulla.

                                                                                                                      If you've never had the pleasure (yes, this is sarcasm) of being jabbed in the thigh with one or more EpiPens (epinephrine == adrenaline), well let me tell you that it's a whole hell of a lot of being hit with a truckload of norepinephrine (nor == 'next to'), both of which (adrenaline and noradrenaline == epinephrine and norepinephring) comprise two of the three Catecholamines .. the third being Dopamine...

                                                                                                                              I’m looking to compile an “ideal” television schedule based on programmes from the 1960s, a “greatest hits” of 1960s tv. The schedule would run from 5pm until 11pm, Sunday through to Saturday, and include dramas, comedies, light entertainment, documentaries, music, etc. Which programmes would you nominate for this schedule? Please add your suggestions below and I will include the most popular programmes in the schedule.

                                                                                                                                AodeRelay boosted
