The clean, non-noise portion of a signal. It represents the "pure sound" you would hear if you could eliminate all electronic hiss.

So, its the weirdest thing, sometimes when I record bass I get a really clean signal, good sound, all sunny and clear...

...and then other times its like some evil beast inside my setup is hissing at me for not feeding it or something. Ok, its not THAT bad, but its still noticeably worse at some times than at others.

I'm building my cable length's. Choosing Mogami

Analog

4' snakes would be really clean but you never know if those cables might be needed down the path at a longer lenght. How many times do we say that after the fact. :mad:

Questions:

Has anyone ever added an extension to 25PIN DSUB 8 channel snake to add extra length for analog? pro's cons?

I debated on whether to put this in the Pro Audio or Pro Recording Forum... pretend it's in both.

HI,

Wondering if someone has a fast easy way to get a test tone into 26 channels at the same time to test for recording dropouts and performance.

I have a ZED16R with 16 channels of ADAT running into a FF800 with the remaining 10 inputs. I have a sine wave generator for the test tone.

If You wanted to use an Outboard Processor such as a limiter or parametric EQ on a particular input position on a 32 Input Inline Console, how would you route the signal to and from the device. What would be the signal flow chart?

I've been making music on synths, drum machines, bucketts and my computer for about 15 yrs now yet I've got no formal training. I realize that for long cable runs, it’s best to use balanced cables to reduce noise and grounding problems. What about cable runs (15 to 25 ft) to gear with unbalanced outputs like vintage synths?

Hello!
I would like to know which shotgun mic is more noisy (self noise) in practise?

Here are some specs:

1.AUDIO TECHNICA AT 875 R
with signal noise ratio 74 db
sensivity 30mv/pa

2. RODE NTG2
with signal noise ratio 76 db
sensivity 15mv/pa

Hi,
Im recording from desk line out to a cam corder mic in [with no option]
and need to make an attenuator in the chord to get a
useable level signal without distortion .

We havent had a listen in to our performances for some time
and i would hope our musicianship is improving, and of course
hear the crap that needs cutting ..
