Happy New Year to all of you!!!
Last month I decide to try a set of active studio monitors.
My experiense was all the time, many years, with Hi-Fi speakers and with a passion to B&W speakers.I was many hours at a local store to test many sets (as last, two monitor sets).
KRK RP5 RoKit G2 (http://www.thomann.de/gb/krk_rp5_g2_rokit.htm) and Yamaha HS50M (http://www.thomann.de/gb/yamaha_hs50m.htm)Yamaha’s sound is brilliand with a very good stereo image and very clear mid/hi but, ….you need a sub for low freq. 🙁
Compare it for a long time, with various recordings and styles of music, I found KRK’s more solid,much more fast from Yamaha’s (for one more time,natural,wide sound)
and with better bass picture (for a near field monitor speaker, I prefer front-firing bass port for this 😉 ).The main use of the active speakers was for webradio monitoring,editing,jingles production and at some rare cases for mastering.
Except that KRK’s are a little bit "crispy" at hi freq., I’m very satisfied with this set!!
My next choice will be a set of KRK VXT8 for home studio (http://www.thomann.de/gb/krk_vxt8.htm) …if I have the money 🙂
Sounds amazing!!!Greetings,
GeorgeIt’s normal…for EMU0404 PCI
This card supports 192Khz only at input. Not at output.So, forget MPX with this card 🙁
For PCI take an ESI Juli@.If you like EMU0404 and your system has PCIe slots, the new EMU0404 (PCIe) supports full 192khz (in/out).
http://www.creative.com/emu/products/pr … &pid=20022I have one of this but never used on a pc to test it…. 😕
Except this issue, at your screenshots of DSP, I don’t see signal (audio) at the input of the card or any other strip with audio.
At the BBP inputs you have MAIN L/R but at the DSP strips 1&2 (PCI in L&R) you have to add an ASIO insert to send the audio to BBP via ASIO.
Then, BBP will get the audio from EMU L/R in.
Then you’ll have to select from BBP output to send the audio to another ASIO route (ASIO OUT 1/2) to get the return from BBP back to DSP.What is the SEND insert at the ASIO OUT 1/2 strip?
I’ve see that my instuctions had some "errors" on the sequence…
And, to be sure 100% that will work, I will do it one more time step-by-step:For this example I will use windows media player as source->EMU->BBP Asio->EMU->Speakers.
Start the configuration from BBP asio first.
-Go to I/O configuration and select your card for Asio.
-Select 48000 Hz
-For Left Input select: Asio In 9
-For Right Input select Asio In 10
-For FM Audio Out L select Asio Out 31
-For FM Audio Out R select Asio Out 32Leave BBP Asio running at the backround.
Start Windows Media Player and leave it at the backround to play…something.
EMU0404 Configuration:
-Start a new session at 48k (product default)
-At Session Settings window that will appear leave it at Internal 48Khz
-At first strip (WAVE1/2) that windows media player sound comes there, under the peak meter insert, right click at the first available and add an insert send HOST ASIO 9/10.You’ll see that at the second strip of patchmix (ASIO OUT 31/32) the peak meter will get audio and the same time
the sound from the output of BBP asio will come to your speakers!If you hear your audio two times,mute the first strip (WAVE 1/2) !!!
Again, If you want to control the input level to BBP, at the first strip, right click to the SEND insert and select to add a trim control insert (SEND insert will go to the third place).
You can adjust the Gain from your source to BBP input from the slider at the right window of DSP.Again, In case that you want to route the BBP Asio out directly to the output of Emu before the mixer, at strip two
(ASIO OUT 31/32) under peak meters add an Insert SEND and select PCI Card Out L/R or S/PDIF L/R.and….Don’t forget to save the preset !!
Is it to hard??? 😉
Can you try this? : viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2145&p=11221&hilit=0404#p11221
Don’t forget sample rates both for EMU and BBP
Regards,
GeorgeAverage input loudness? I thought that the question was about input peaks, when the level comes over 0db and the color becomes pink….
By the way, still prefer to keep levels (peaks and not loudness) from -18db to -6db (-6db at very rare cases) with an
peak average at -12db.
I believe that this gives more headroom to the input,special if the tracks are gained with an application before to have almost same levels track by track.Have a nice day,
GeorgeThe same configuration still works as back up for me 🙂
Pentium D 2.8Ghz with 2GB ram and an SSD (40Gb) as main HD.
As I wrote, I use it as back up system with:
-Radio Automation Software
-BreakAway
-Simplecast with 3 streamsWOW 😯 I use this computer almost 4 years 24h/day !!!!!
Regards,
GeorgeHi,
Right click on any empty insert (under main inserts) and add an "Insert Send (Output to ASIO/WAVE or Physical Out)".
From the list, select "PCI Card Out L/R".
This will bring audio from the DSP mixer to the main out of 0404.If you don’t need to have the mix-out audio to the output, just add the above insert to the "Inserts" of any input channel.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
George
Hi RadioRio!
Can’t access to your website anymore…
ESET (Nod32) reports your site as….potentially dangerous content!!!!!! 😈 😈 😈I know the way how to bypass Nod32 alert but, your site it’s on a blacklist…
GOD, (Eset)…save us from these dangerous sites
Hi!
Sometimes seems so difficult but it’s not…
I will explain how I do it and in case that you need screenshots just ask it 😉
How to route audio from a player/application to Emu0404 then to BBP Asio and then back to Emu0404 L/R output speakers).
Start the configuration from BBP asio first.
-Go to I/O configuration and select your card for Asio.
-Select 48000 Hz
-For Left Input select: Asio In 9
-For Right Input select Asio In 10
-For FM Audio Out L select Asio Out 31
-For FM Audio Out R select Asio Out 32Emu DSP should popup automaticaly to confirm the new 48000Hz session.
If not, from DSP create a new session,select 48K tab, product default preset and click OK button.
Select internal source at 48KHz,leave the I/O settings as it is and click OK.EMU0404 Configuration:
-Start your source player/application and select as output Emu card.
Normally you’ll get audio at the speakers now via WAVE1/2 strip but nothing at the BBP meters.
-At first strip (WAVE1/2), under the peak meter insert, right click at the first available and add
an insert send HOST ASIO 9/10This will route source audio to BBP ASIO input and you’ll get back the audio from BBP to strip two (ASIO OUT 31/32).
If you hear your audio two times, just mute the first strip 😉
* If you want to control the input level to BBP, at the first strip, right click to the SEND insert and select to add a trim control insert (SEND insert will go to the third place).
You can adjust the Gain from your source to BBP input from the slider at the right window of DSP.** In case that you want to route the BBP Asio out directly to the output of Emu before the mixer, at strip two
(ASIO OUT 31/32) under peak meters add an Insert SEND and select PCI Card Out L/R or S/PDIF L/R.Don’t forget to save the preset !! 😉
Regards,
GeorgeGreat Job !!! 😉
And specially your detailed guide!But hey, keep your box at low temperatures !
Always have a PSU as a spare… 😉Try to uninstall pipelines and install VAC.
At most of the cases VAC 4.0.3 works perfect. If not, try also with VAC 4.0.8 or 4.1.0.For me, the solution was VAC 4.0.3
Same problem more than 2 years now.
The worst, sometimes RDP creates problems to automation software amd skip tracks!
With any kind of settings,custom mstsc.exe files the problems are always there..some times appears after 1-2 hours
with craps etc.From my experience, when the pc/server used for audio application just forget rdp.
I agree with that ultraVNC is one of the best choices and in case that you need to have a monitor
from the remote machine, teamviewer is the best.And remember, never login to the server from an rdp session (even if this is at session0) after a restart.
Create an AutoLogon entry at the registry to start windows.
If you login at the server via RDP then probably you will see only rdp audio as choice at sounds…and the applications
that uses audio cards (special pipelines/VAC) will have only rdp audio!Cheers!
