Re: Hi-fi stereo amplifier issue
There's no strange overheating but if something's wrong, it must surely be happening before the actual cooling plates even get hot (thanks to the safety). Well the point of the cooling elements is to get hot - instead of the chip getting hot. If the cooling elements don't get hot that doesn't mean ...

Re: Rack Extensions detox
Hey, I thought to report on the situation. My spiritual awakening path has been challenging but I was able to refrain myself from interacting with any Rack Extension thus far! After a few weeks this simplification life plan got even more extreme and in just a few days I've gotten rid of computer, au...

Re: Hi-fi stereo amplifier issue
Hey, thanks all for the feedback. To answer your questions, the issue happened with or without the speakers connected, with different line-level gear as the source, tested on CD/Aux and Tape inputs (the manual says their specs are identical). JBLs impedance is around 6 and the amp's impedance switch...

Re: Anyone using an OP1 to control Reason?
I very well understand the feelings about the OP-1's price. I was super lucky to get it new and discounted at around 750€ from an online retailer days after Teenage Engineering upped to 949€ last year. Still, a lot of money, but it's a solid music tech jewel. Unique interface, extremely inspiring. I...

Re: Any iOS music makers in the house?
Reporting after nearly a couple of weeks :) As a complete virgin to tablets, I'm positively blown away, and will add I've sold my laptop because I feel more than comfortable with the Pad Pro as a replacement. Bear in mind I'm super streamlined in my computing habits, almost OCD style with hardly any...

Re: Prince is dead.
He programmed drum machines a lot, including the Yamaha RX-5!
And produced/wrote lots of tracks for other artists.
Undeniable groove talent.

Hi-fi stereo amplifier issue
Hello. Before registering to some hi-fi forum I thought I'd try here first. I found an old Technics SU-700 amplifier to drive an equally old pair of JBLs and am running into this problem: past a certain level, whether achieved via master volume, MP3 player's level, or the two combined, the Safety ki...

Re: New "Ryan's Picks for Quick Mix Fix Tricks" video (today, Apr.14): Finally Understanding Levels and Clipping
PH videos always showcase great, simple and effective explaining skills (and with humour). I do some teaching and love the challenge of simplifying complex concepts so that they can be understood by anyone. Each time I watch a PH video I'm simply amazed.

Re: is this the biggest bullshit in music history?
Ghostwriting and co-writing is everywhere. People that have written their own music get "post-produced". There's always a team of people involved. And after the music comes the most crucial part.. Which is marketing. And bribing radio stations/commercial channels so they can indoctrinate crappy mus...

Re: is this the biggest bullshit in music history?
Yeah, tricky subject... However, in the context of mp3 deejays, I think I can see how this came to be. First off, a disk jokey, as the term implies, is not a composer but typically an entertainer for disco clubs. A dj's skills lie in the playlist selection, and crossfading of tracks, in a manner tha...

Re: Any iOS music makers in the house?
Success! Cheers, Paul! That helped a lot.
Network MIDI (which is the same as Virtual Midi apparently) was the answer.
Is there an order one must follow when launching or quitting apps, like for Rewire?

Oops my message got lost..

The communication among apps is still confusing to me. I was hoping IAA and AU would be e...

Just been listening to your tracks Vince - very cool stuff! I love what you've managed to do with iPolySix.

Tablet arrived. Been testing out A LOT of stuff...

They sound very good and the interfaces are very inspiring. Too bad I can...

I've been having quite a bit of fun with iPolysix, NanoStudio and Gadget. Really enjoyable just dottin' away on the iPad! :) Made these a couple of weeks ago when I was feeling rather unproductive. Just to zoom out and do something different. iPolysix is extremely limited of course, but very fun to...

I've been lurking on the Audiobus forums and noticed quite a lot of people are digging the large iPad as well. It really seems ideal and I can't help but wonder what it'll be like when more responsive touch technology will be integrated, even beyond 3d touch, which by the way I'd love to test with R...

Re: Do you use the "Insert FX" slot?
There is a significant difference in at which point in the signal chain the effects will applied (depending on what kind of effects you apply, and what you use in the SSL strip). If you insert them between the instrument and the mixer channel, the effects will be applied BEFORE going into the SSL i...

Re: Any iOS music makers in the house?
Question to those with some tablet experience: do you think the newer 9.7" Pro would noticeably perform less than the 12.9", due to half the RAM? I'm reading it has 4GB vs 8GB of the 12.9". Or maybe that's optimised for the intenser graphics? Also, regardless of internal specs, I'm trying to figure ...
