Signal degradation when using busses/auxes.

i reviewed some mixes done three years ago, when i didn't use subgrouping and the busses were only used for fx returns. my current projects sound muddier than these older ones. am using auxes to sum different sections of the arrangement together now. the results are harsher and muddier. yes, delay compensation is on. transients are smeared right across the spectrum. have gone back to master1-2 outs for final mixes. check it out for yourselves.

Hi kirsen, jim, et al. back in the analog daze, when tracking, the monitor mixer of the neve, ssl was used. at mix time, the signals were routed to the consoles regular input strips. result, increased muddiness, stereo image blur, you name it. solution: use the shortest signal path to the master bus possible. more circuitry = less fidelity. the monitor mix section is simpler (no eq, no inserts, etc) = more accurate reproduction of the source. same is true with daws. macs a serial but reeeeeally fast. so, we get reeeeally fast phase problems. it is all a conjuring trick. the problem cannot be fixed. it can be controlled: do only live recordings with no over dubbing, do dance beatz using only software instrument from the same brand(or same plugin), use only sample patches from the same library and same recording room/sound stage, take all room/ambience/spill out of tracks. we never used sub groups back in the analog daze. mixes took longer, but sounded closer to the original source material. i'm a purist (i love good audio) - so shoot me!
note to jim: try your excellent lavry's with a set of dual concentrics(eg tannoy's) and you will hear this problem better - just make sure the test speakers go down (flat as possible) to 40 or so cycles. all the best DJR.

  • Is there an adapter or something you can use on a iPhone 5 that will let you watch video when using an AUX cable?

    Is there an adapter or something you can use on a iPhone 5 that will let you watch video when using an AUX cable?

    if you by AUX mean composite or component then likely not as they would not be able to support a high enough resolution to do any type of airplay mirror
    hdmi should work though

  • Performance degradation when using foreign keys

    Hi,
    I face drastic performance degradation when I add foreign keys to a table and perform insert / update on that table.
    I have a row store table to  which I need to insert around 1,50,000 records.
    If the table has no foreign key reference it takes maximum of 5 seconds but if the same table has references to other tables (in my case there are 3 references), the processing speed reduces drastically to 2 minutes.
    Is there any solution / best practice that can help me in gaining performance (processing speed) in this situation?
    Thanks
    S.Srivatsan

    Hi Sri,
    When you perform one insert in any database table which is having foreign key relationships, it will check the corresponding parent tables to check whether the master data is available or not. If your table is having 2 foreign key relationship, it happen twice per insert. Hence the performance will degrade. This is one of the reasons why ECC  doesn't establish foreign key relationship in the back end database. The case is not just for INSERT, for UPDATE & DELETE the same is applicable.

  • Wifi degrades when using Bluetooth headset

    I've noticed that when I use my Bluetooth headset (Sony Ericsson HBH PV-700) with my iPhone, the wifi (airport extreme) degrades or stops working. If I switch back to speakerphone or iPhone, them wifi starts working again. The PV-700 is only Bluetooth 1.1... perhaps iPhone requires 2.0 ?

    k.alexander - thanks for posting. It's a relief to hear that another headset exhibits the same issue. Alas, it's also disappointing. The thing I most wanted to do with my iPhone was talk using Bluetooth and surf using wifi. I'm guessing it’s a proximity issue - both the Bluetooth and the wifi signals are emitted from the phone at the bottom through the black plastic. I upgraded to the iPhone from a Sony Ericcson z525a. I had no issues using Bluetooth to talk on it while simultaneously surfing on a laptop connected via wifi. Hopefully the Apple Bluetooth headset will be designed to get around this apparent limitation…

  • Z3 Dual / signal lost when using two SIMS

    Dear All,
    My brand new Z3 Dual keep losing signal when enabling two SIMs at the same time, this will not happen if I disable one SIM and used the other one only which defies the purpose of using a DUAL SIM cell phone, please advise !  

    Hi,
    Have you tried to switch place on the SIM-cards to see if same thing happens? Or do you have the possibility to try other SIM-cards?

    ood quality digital meter all voltage signals where equal and also using the labview test panel all voltage signals where equal. When measured by my vi i found that the voltage signals where not the same 2 of the channels displayed almost twice the amount.After changing the channel order using the I/O tabs on the right of the control panel I found i got the correct voltage readings. What caused my vi to diplay incorrect voltage readings due to the order of my I/O channels?I am using Labview 6.0 with a SCB-68 shielded I/O Connector Block interfaced with a NI-DAQ Multifunction I/O board PCI-MIO-16E-4.

    I couldn't open the attachment you posted. However, you probably set the wrong input limits for your gains or had a too small interchannel delay in between channels that wasn't letting the instrumentaion amplifier to settle down properly.
    A good way to make sure your VI is the cause for the problem is to run one of the Labview shipping examples to do the acquisition. The best one to try is the one named Continuous Acquisition and Chart(buffered).vi.

  • Performance degradation when using proxy.pac file with FF ESR 31

    With Bug 923458 many people complained about a performance issue compared to other browsers when a proxy.pac file is used.
    The issue initially reported with the bug was resolved for ESR25 according to the statistics, but the general performance issue remained.
    I had the same issue with ESR24 and ESR31.3 .
    I was testing with www.bild.de.
    It took about 40 seconds to load the content completely. Without the proxy.pac file it took about 10 seconds.
    I added a few alerts to the pac-File in order to get logs within the console for some analyses.
    I found the following:
    1. the pac.file is executed for every request, no matter if the host changed or not.
    With us the pac-File checks for IP-Adresses and host-names only.
    It is not necessary to execute the pac file for each and every request to the same remote host.
    So the question is, if we are able to disable this behaviour via about:config?
    2. the content referenced by www.bild.de seems to be loaded sequentially and with a delay
    The overall time consumed by the proxy.pac file executions was about 4 Seconds compared to the 40 seconds of overall load time.
    So I checked the delay between executions of the pac-file and found an overall delay of 40 seconds. I expect that the delay between the calls to the pac-file is caused by the retrieval of contents from the remote host.
    So why are the requests executed sequentially?
    Hint: Due to the times necessary for executing the pac-file and downloading the contents from the remote host, I would expect the logs generated by my alerts to be mixed (especially if myIpAddress took 1 Second). But the log is cleanly ordered by URL. (see attachment)

    Hi guigs2,
    thanks for your response. As we only use myIpAddress once within our pac-File and only rely on dnsDomainIs(), ==-Comparisons and shExpMatch() and the sum of all pac-Executions was about 4 seconds compared to 40 seconds overall load time, I do not think that dns resolving is our issue.
    I checked the seetings of the configuration you mentioned above. It is set to "false", so the client would try the resolve the dns names. Our admin told, that we do not use socks-Proxies, only http-Proxies.
    Regarding sequential load of the contents included on www.bild.de from other web sites, I attached a screenthot.
    Please note the red highlights. These show the start time in milliseconds of the pac-execution. I added this as a kind of id which represents a unique identifier together with the URL if the log items are mixed. But they are not, instead they are cleanly ordered by URL (for all 360 pac-file calls).
    Moreover in the picture you can see the delay between the end of the last pac-file execution and the next one (blue timestamp in millisonds compared to the red timestamp of the next row saying "entered proxy.pac"). The delay sum up exactly to the 40 seconds the FF took to load the page completely.
    Alone the fragment shown represents a delay of 630ms between the pac-file executions. If the contents would be loaded in parallel, there should be no such delay.

  • Cellular signal lost when using gps related apps

    Everytime I wanted to open a MAPS apps, the cellular signal will immediately dropped and after few seconds it will LOST (the "searching..." will appear). I have tried using other sim from different service provider but same problem. Anything to do with the antenna or gps hardware? or maybe software or settings related matter? if any diagnostic application such as the "field test mode" that I can try please let me know.
    Thanks in advance.

    To rule out a software issue try a reset first. Press the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting. If this does not work, set it up as new device without using the latest backup, explained in this article:
    iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
    If still no luck, the problem might be hardware related and the phone has to be checked:

  • Very low signal strength when using DLINK 2640t with mac mini

    i have a mac mini and i have been using it fine with a 2wire wireless modem. However i have just switched to a Dlink 2640t (54Mbps (802.11g) Wireless ADSL 2/2+ Router with Built-in Modem, 4-port 10/100Mbps Switch) and have been getting very low signal strengths on my mac mini, resulting in me not being able to surf the internet. The modem+ router is located in the next room. Does anyone know whether its the problem with the modem router or mac mini's airport wireless problems with the router itself. It worked perfectly fine with my previous 2wire wireless modem
    please help!

    Did you reset the router after you updated router's firmware? Its always recommended to perform a reset after firmware upgrade on the router.
    Please refer to the link http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=eaa3127db5f4402584c959a7251e754c_4008.xml&pid=80&r...
    For wireless range and signal issues, try changing the channel on the router to either 1,6,9 or 11.
    Please refer to this link on changing wireless channel and SSID (network name)

  • Signal booster when using the Apple leather casing

    after i purchased my 6 plus, one thing i noticed was the weak cellular signal reception BUT i was surprised that the signal was stabilized and boosted by the Apple leather casing. I thought it was a software issue. Now i hate to think that it could be a hardware problem.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Has any of this been tried?
    If 3 different devices are doing the same thing, I suspect you've restored the two replacement devices with the backup from the original and that backup is causing the issue.

  • Mac mini losing signal over vga when using adapter.

    At my church we are installing 2014 Mac minis in the classrooms and occasionally when we power them up the main display works perfect but the projector which is plugged in through the mini display port to vga adapter the screen will just be blue like it does't have a signal. When I check in system preferences the computer shows both displays plugged in though. Powering off the projector doesn't fix the problem I have to manually unplug and replug in the adapter.

    There is no limitation to get 16:9 out of VGA. How far away is the TV? What are you using for a cable? Do you get the result you want from a shorter cable?

    Dear Mr. Toad (my all-time favorite ride at Disneyland ;-) ..
    Thanks so much for your detailed reply.. my netbook is in the bedroom, turned off.. I (so far) only use it in the evening, in the bedroom.. I've saved your response, and will try your suggestions, and let you know if they solve the problem I described. I really appreciate you taking the time to post such a detailed reply..
    I can't answer your Thunderbird "configuration" questions, because I'm in the living room, using the crap Vista laptop, on which I plan to install Thunderbird, and then take Windoze Mail out in the street and drive over it a few times.. I'll get back to you one way or the other, and let you know if your instructions solved the problem, or not..
    I don't understand why Thunderbird "out of the box", so to speak, simply doesn't forward HTML emails with embedded graphics, (like Outlook Excess, and Winblows Mail do).. without having to go through those steps. I personally HATE HTML email, but over the years, it's become more and more prevelant.. so it's a problem I must fix..
    Thanks again..
