![]() ![]() With the ADC the master it sends the clock over wire which times the DAC and any delays are closer so the timing lines up more perfectly than even in an interface loopback. My theory being when in loopback, you have the same clock doing DAC and ADC (or I think you do maybe one slaves to the other internally), but there is a time delay from going out over the analog wire and back to ADC. It has always made me think maybe the software doesn't quite fix timing and alignment perfectly. I've always noted the very best results are for separate converters with the ADC being the master clock. You can download his software and download the test files from Gearslutz and see what results you get on the RME with his been meaning to ask you this for some time. You can download his software and download the test files from Gearslutz and see what results you get on the RME with his metric. It appears to give a much better number for comparing which DAC is really good to our hearing. ![]() Paul has added a PK metric that does some response weighting and sensitivity at different frequencies into account. As we are very insensitive to phase above 2500 hz, the fact a bit of gear is off with phase at the treble end ruins the null, but it would sound quite fine to us. Usually this effects the frequency extremes. Now that doesn't mean the gear doesn't muck up phase and level a bit, but it indicates that is all that is happening. When you do this the nulls get much deeper for most gear. Paul's software can do more, for instance one option is to EQ and adjust phase of the comparison file. Pkane is a member here and wrote Deltawave for null testing.įirst off the raw number his software gets is effectively the same as what GS is getting in that thread. Come see our updated look at Since its inception in 2002, the forum has grown to more than 400,000 members - 10,000 of which are the same users that forgot their password or created multiple new users just for the pleasure of insulting themselves and anyone they disagree with.Null testing turns out not to be quite so simple as hoped for even when done correctly. "We are all excited about this next chapter. "This change has been in the works for many months," adds Standen. The new name is intended to signal "a more diverse user base across the industries it serves." That part is unquestionable - that name was bad and it's a good thing it's gone. The forum continues to target "audio professionals, educators and hobbyists, alike," while serving essentially the latter. Gearspace will continue to offer the same audio-focused content and will strive to be the best online community possible for people of all genders and cultures." The change will affect the forum’s name, logo and URL. "We’re certain our new name, Gearspace, will stand the test of time and provide a more all-encompassing platform for the pro audio industry. "After nearly two decades, it feels great to move forward with a more progressive and inclusive name," says founder Jules Standen. So, the news about Gearspace is certainly curious - and in addition we learned that their operations are actually based in London. In any interest community - recording technology, headphones or hi-fi - there are multiple level of "users," and the amount of time spent "opinionating" and criticizing others is inversely proportional to the time they actually use the things they talk about in forums. ![]() I learned then not to waste my time in forums. At the time, being the editor of a pro audio magazine and also writing for musicians, I enquired around me, and no one had ever used Fruity Loops - with Reaper being the most frequently mentioned option by the "I have no money for software" users that didn't want to confess that they actually used a cracked version of Cubase or whatever. In fact, I always remember the first time - and probably the last - that I visited that specific web forum, after learning of a poll among its members that positioned Fruity Loops Studio DAW software as the leading DAW globally, immediately followed by Ableton Live. But there's no denying that web forums such as Gearslutz have long been a known entity in the noisy and sometimes wild environment of home-studio focused websites. I confess that we would never have posted this announcement if it wasn't for the fact that it arrived to the audioXpress mailbox from a reputed PR firm. ![]()
