He explicitly said that he doesn't care what we think. Open indifference bordering on hostility to the thoughts of others is not a great lead-in to community participation.kvaca wrote:Shy - OK I understand you...and thanks again

I wasn't whining at all. I commented that his tone was negative, which it was, and that he said he doesn't care about anyone else's viewpoint, which he doesn't. Those are just mild factual statements. I also allowed for the likelihood that many of us aren't interested in trying it out because of preconceptions that we aren't really making an effort to challenge. That's a criticism of us, not of him; an admission that part of the reason we're not taking the time to test it isn't just because of a poor attitude, but because we're not willing to take it as an opportunity to try something that may challenge what we currently hold to be true.Shy wrote:Keep whining if you want, Agreed (though don't expect a reply, I'll be away for 2 days), I still don't care. It's good that at least someone can discuss the topic instead of just my or his opinions.
sounds good...but-where can I download your wav to listen it again on better audio equipment,becouse I dont have very good audio output on my internet laptop?himalaya wrote:I'm not really that interested in compressors and I don't have much expertise in the filed but I thought I'd download Shy's examples and try to see if I can match what Shy has provided. Since I'm away, I'm working on my headphones so I may have missed a lot of detail, however, here's my attempt, good or bad (I have included the Algorithmix WAV Shy has put in his ZIP for comparison):

I can hear a difference in the transient response - which I suppose could be further improved with more precise settings - but I can't hear the sound breaking up, which is what Shy claims would happen in a plugin compressor.

I can't really explain because our languages are different but please be assured that I am not on a "purely negative side," in fact I'm not on any "side" at all. I think that there is a reason people aren't so interested in trying it out, which I explained, and I think that partly it might have to do with their own pre-conceptions (in other words, that Shy might be right). That's not on any side, that's just a neutral statement.kvaca wrote:agreed-I fully dont understand your post...maybe my skills in english are not well enough,but I have a strong feeling that you are on the purely negative side here and also going slightly OT
maybe is true that Shy dont want to know what you are thinking,but they are many others here, too...
Sorry my friend, but I don't understand your question. You can download the file from that link, where else? If your laptop is not connected to good speakers then burn the file on a CDR and listen to it on a better system . Is this what you meant?kvaca wrote:

unfortunately I cannot see any download link from my point of view,its only some player which starts playing when clicked but dont allow downloadinghimalaya wrote:Sorry my friend, but I don't understand your question.

Thanks a lot, and forgive me for asking, it made me really cofused that I could have seen there only "save link as" witch is not what I thought I wanted, bcs someone who made this program translated it incorectly... Now I know, Thanks a lot again!!!himalaya wrote:Right click on the link and select "Save linked content as..." or similar, depending on your browser.
I dunno, I think that the analog gain staging pre-digital (and just component interactions in general) plays a massively significant role in it too. Outside of EDM there's a lot going on before anything hits the input, y'know?MickGael wrote:Most times, I find tracking with software compressors singularly frustrating. In my experience - my experience only, mind you - it is nothing like a good hardware unit. I suspect the nature of digital gain-staging plays some part in that. I find most software compressors fold very easily. A good hardware compressor supports what I try to do transparently - even when I look for color, if you follow.
