    10:34 I'm using MIDI back and forth with forScore and Helix these days. I use buttons on the scores to change the patch on my Helix. I've also designated a Helix switch to do page turn on forScore, and another switch to start playback. Let me know if you would like an idea on how I did this.

    you should’ve used a hard limiter to compensate for the difference in peaks and then did a normalization. Otherwise it’s very difficult to make a comparison because there’s just too much volume variation between them.

    • @randyrektor
      @randyrektor 2 дня назад

      Hard limiting then normalizing would leave large fluctuations in rms and average loudness. I matched them on short term LUFS which is a cleaner method that has less degradation on the audio.

    Thanks for that video. Very helpful ! How ever, i still have a doubt. I have the same setup as you, Mac and Ipad, but once you have choose "Prefer device versions" for the Ipad and "Icloud version" for the Mac, once the files are upload to the Mac, do you leave the Ipad on the setting "Prefer device versions" ? Cause usually i do corrections, setup and a few things on the Mac that end up in the Ipad, but with that setup, i afraid the the Ipad will compare his version with the Icloud, where the Mac is synching and will ignore, or worst, will replace that work i did on the Mac. What do you think ? am i clear enough ? I had problems with that with the early version of that sync system of ForScore. Thanks in advance

    You can connect mixer to a remote speaker wirelessly . Just like they do with the Sennheiser equivalent of this . Which is the sennheiser ENG G4 with two transmitter one looks like the receiver and the other one is a plug on mic transmitter . The advantage the sennheiser has though is the distance it transmits is 100 metres . So lot of DJ’s use it for remote speaker for wedding events

    Though in your previous video of comparing mkh-50 which is small pencil condenser vs AKGP420 which is large diaphragm - you came to conclusion that AKGP420 was more detailed, punchy and sharp vs more natural mkh50. So, I guess its not necessarily always the case, you are mentioning here, right?

    • @randyrektor
      @randyrektor 20 дней назад

      Ahh yes, so a couple of things to touch on here. It's important to note that accuracy and apparent brightness in the top end are two different things. While the P420 feels bright -I believe I said "The P420 has more bite and may be a little more shrill", the MKH50 is still a MUCH more accurate reproduction of the sound. The main point is that SDCs are generally far more accurate in the way they capture sound, whereas LDCs have much more distortion, sometimes good, sometimes bad. Check out the Earthworks reference mics. They have tiny little diaphragms and are known for being the closest to a flat response. Super cool tech!

Why I'm asking cause I'm trying to understand actually do i need to buy LDC mic, cause I already bought mkh50 and it sounds amazing and warm to my ears. But with LDC does it brings actually more details or as you've mentioned - its just more distortion (and kind of individual eq of the mic)? For instance JZ11 mic. Maaan, there are so many nuances to the sound, trying to wrap my head around it. Thanks for explanation! appreciate it

      @@andriibudim6996 Yeah so generally LDCs capture less detailed information. Each mic still has it's own nuances. Some may be brighter, some darker, some punchier, etc. But generally speaking, SDCs capture sound more accurately because of the speed of the diaphragm. All this to say, the MKH50 is an amazing tool. I'd try out some LDCs if you're interested and use your ears to see what's right for you. It's really the only way to know. Hope this helps!
