Hi Chris Great to read from you and feel your fascination and happiness. Good and important to have such moments / experience in live. All the best Juergen

Hi Chris. Oh man, what an amount of work! But at the end, enjoy the results and having fun does pay it all. Juergen

Great to read. Enjoy your vacation and for most, enjoy your time with family. All the best from my side.

Hi Mitch Wow, this is great. Last week I was too busy to watch your video and therefore my delayed response. Now, I have watched it from start to finish and I must say, that you prepared this SOTA DRC extraordinary well. It is very thoughtful and this all the way through so I am enormous impressed by this work. You explanations are very clear, and all with technically foundation and without any voodoo. So this is really great. Thank you and all the best. Juergen

Hi Chris Thank you for mentioning this software from Mitch. Looks great. Hi Mitch Great to read about your software. I will have a look at it. Thanks. Juergen

Wow, this is great. I found this a bit late (yesterday, on Archimagos Blog). I am impressed. It will take some days to find the time, to dive through all of this. Thank you.

Hi Mitch. Ah, great you are introducing a new (at least for me new) room correction solution. I will read through it and will give it a spin. If you have a regular room, you can do so much with room correction to get good sound, much more than with most of the “tweaks” that are used to improve the sound. Thanks for writing.

Hi Chris. Ah, thanks for this information. This was under MS Windows my most favorite program for tagging for years. And now, I can bring it back home to MacOS. Juergen

Hi Chris, Hi Maier. Great to read that you both have had a wonderful time together, listening to music and enjoy live. All the best from my side. Juergen

Hi Chris. Wow, this is a great project. Congrats! Juergen

Hi Mitch. Great Report. Thanks. One question, as this seems to work “dynamically”: If you would make some steady state frequency response measurements with different levels, will you then be able to see changes / correction in the resulting frequency response? Juergen

Hi Mitch. Happy New Year. Once again, I appreciate your thorough work. Yes, it takes a while to read all the "pages", but it's worth every paragraph. Thumbs up.

Happy New Year Chris and a great idea with going into the audiophile style 😉

Hi Chris. Oh man. A lot of work. Good luck. Juergen

This could have 4 different reasons: Microphone, Mic Pre-Amp, Tape Head or Venue Noise This could be the SMPS noise of the polarization voltage that could go into the signal for 2 reasons: Either the signal transformer / path is not fully balanced, so that the SMPS noise is not canceled out, that would otherwise be the case with balanced signal path (if the in-phase path has for example 1k1 and the off-phase path 1k0 input resistance), or what I have had with older Neumann Tube of FET mics is, that the filtering electrolyte got a cold solder point. It is always good to watch the signal of the recording setup with tools like SpectraFoo for abnormalities. I have sent back some mics, that have not been fully balanced, as also some mic preamps, that have not been fully balanced. PS: Some tape machines do have also those spices due to the AC bias of / in tape head, but I don’t think this is the case in the above example, that looks like a tape free recording. Another reason could be a noise in the recording venue: I had a life recording in a church and have had a 40.5 kHz spike in my setup and finally found out, that this was an “anti-bird” noise, that was send out with some piezo tweeters in the church, to prevent birds coming in / flying into the church. In another case, I have had an ultra frequency smoke detector at around 36 kHz. As I said above, it is always good to check the signal that is to be recorded. I hope this helps. Juergen
