From minifrog on 01.01.2006, 21:16: re: sound quality Hi, I am still an amateur Psycler, basically. I am looking for advice on general sound quality. I have observed several mention of some plugins, filters, etc, getting "cleaner" sound. I am wondering just what that means and whether it has anything to do with what is happening to me now: I am playing with some synths and stuff, and noticing some static-ey noises pretty frequently. Is this normal? I am presently just playing with all the knobs on a couple synths, RGC Triangle II and a couple others. I am using a SB 5.1 card, and don't normally get ugly noise with this computer. Does this noise occur with everybody, or is there some way of reducing/eliminating it? Thanks, from the frog who lost his password |
From TranceMyriad on 01.01.2006, 23:01: if it's white noice you're talking about, maybe you're using a demo version of a plugin that puts in white noise bursts every few seconds so that if you want to use the plugin properly, you have to buy the full version (i'm talking about VSTs, of course).

From minifrog on 02.01.2006, 00:25: No, not white noise. I guess it is the stuttering you spoke of. |
From TranceMyriad on 02.01.2006, 02:34: well, it really depends what synths you're using and how many. You might like to try the ASIO4All drivers (http://www.asio4all.com) which should work with your SB Live, which should let you use a lower latency.

From minifrog on 02.01.2006, 04:43: Wups, dupe post. Sorry! -- Well, since my dupe post is still up here, I might as well update you all. I found an Audigy 2 on ebay for pretty cheap, and have installed it. It doesn't seem to provide an ASIO control panel with its software, which is disappointing. I have been pretty busy, so I haven't really looked into it, but there appear to be some 3rd party drivers around. I guess Audigy is not really as pro-grade as I need to go, but it will have to do for right now. Cheers, frog |

From minifrog on 21.01.2006, 23:48: Something went very wrong with Psycle and/or my new (used) soundcard last night. I left Psycle on with no song playing all night, probably the first time I've done that, and late at night my girlfriend says my computer was making popping noises, so she turned off the stereo (and left the computer running w/o telling me, bless her heart). It was completely frozen when I got to it this morning. Psycle has completely crashed my computer 3 or 4 times today, I think at least partly in association with some new VST's I have tried, as well as the new soundcard. At least it isn't crashing when I don't run some VST's now. |
