Seriously, you don't have a mastering problem you
have
recording and mixing problems.
Wait now, you're the one that thought it would
be a good idea to add
meterbridge to JAMin.
Really? I have no recollection of suggesting that and
if I did am clueless as to the context within which I
would have cast that vote.
Someone said that they were using meterbridge and another app to
monitor inputs to JAMin and they thought it would be a good thing if
they were included in JAMin. You replied that you agreed. I don't
remember what list it was on but I'm sure I could find it. I think it
might have been Joern's first post on the DC offset problem.
Besides all that, what does meterbridge have to do
with my reply?
You were complaining about too many things being included in JAMin.
I was just pointing out that you also want more things in JAMin.
You just posted that
yesterday.
For meterbride? I don't think so but am open to being
proven wrong.
Actually, when I
use JAMin I often find myself needing just one
more
parametric EQ.
I don't need more equalization control in JAMin but
often process the source to prepare it for mastering.
I agree but many times I don't have anything but the stereo inputs.
I'm doing mastering for other people. If I'm mixing or recording I'll
adjust at the source.
And in my experience that is the correct method.
Granted, I can draw any curve I want and get the
same effect but I can't
slide it to exactly the right place. There are
still a couple of
features that would be nice in JAMin. Direct out to
.wav files has been
mentioned a number of times. In fact I think you're
one of the
proponents of that.
I'm not against it because it doesn't affect audio
processing.
Steve wants to add warning
lights for DC offset.
And my response stated that I think Joern's proposal
is good one. So I don't understand your point.
I'd like to have small delays available for
low and
mid band.
That affects the processing of audio and now that
you're forcing the issue I will go on the record
saying I don't know if it's a good idea. My instincts
leave me doubtful.
How can it effect the audio if it's set to 0 by default? Also, it
is useful for mastering. I'm thinking about putting it somewhere out of
the way so that if you don't want to use it it will be off by default.
Your first proposal included links to documentation
that explained the idea. I took the time to read those
documents. I simply wasn't convinced and didn't reply.
I figured no response was the lowest volume vote that
I could cast and wanted to keep the tension between
you and I somewhat tempered.
It's
still a mastering tool and we haven't added
anything
that is not useful
for mastering.
I know you feel very strongly about this feature but I
am skeptical.
At the moment I'm having to run externally through my BBE to get the
delays set the way I want them. I don't like having to go
digital->analog->digital just to get a couple of per band delays.
