Re: This is me! [new member introduction] warning! loong post

Roger - Yes I downloaded it last night, burnt an mp3 CD and took it on the morning commute.

Foona - Wow dude, this stuff is really good!

BTW I used Free RAR Extract Frog for WinXP since my RAR utilities are on the Linux machine.

Another 5 thumbs!

Re: Mid Side M-S Matrix Uses No Precision Resistors - Boards 5/1

Back when we were in layout stage I sent Bob Katz a link to the thread and he suggested that we put insert points between virtually all of the stages. So we did. After getting boards I sent Bob one to see what he thought. He saw uses for it I had completely overlooked. One of the ideas he had was to...

Re: This is me! [new member introduction] warning! loong post

Yes, that's it exactly. The saw cut adds a nice touch. I'll dig out one of the clock cases and post it. I think 700 pix wide is about right. You can post larger images but they introduce a scroll bar. I try to limit mine to around 600-700 but when I have larger images I usually link to them. Sometim...

Re: This is me! [new member introduction] warning! loong post

In the image for Ucapps Midibox64 - "Dubmasta" in the upper left-hand corner there is a box that looks to be a power supply in a wooden case. When I first looked at that picture I immediately noticed what appears to be a double saw kerf at each end. Is that what that is? Back in the early ...

Re: New Op-Amps in stock

What Roger said. They are sealed as well and may be gas-filled IIRC.

Re: VCA Compressor Gain Reduction Limit

OK JR. That's what I was thinking too. Decent gain law conformity by virtue of VCA. It seems that to get a FET, CdS cell or tube to work well in feed-forward would require a lot of linerization.

Re: VCA Compressor Gain Reduction Limit

I think you've mentioned the Audio Prism to me before. I can't find any real info out there. Love to see a working link to the manual. I'm still looking myself. I only have partials. I'm not spotting any definite feed-forwards, which raises the question: what was first? I'm wondering that too. Coul...

Re: VCA Compressor Gain Reduction Limit

One suggestion when operating in the side chain is to scale the voltages up so you are not trying to parse single digit mVs So true. If you do this, remember that the Ec driving the VCA must be from a low impedance source. If you expand the dB/V relationship be sure to attenuate it at the VCA activ...

Re: VCA Compressor Gain Reduction Limit

Yeah they defo run out of steam but I think that is what lends them to sounding cool. I have measured a number of hardware boxes that do this. In many of those it's also quite likely that the gain cell runs out of steam too. I should have mentioned that. FETs and tubes come to mind. Opamp wise I ne...
