krizrox wrote:Hey thanks for your suggestions! I will take a look at some of those products you recommend.

Some of the posts on this thread don't make any sense to me at all. Might be a language/translation issue. Appears to be some angst flowing over from other forum topic areas. My questions weren't meant to start a heated debate. Truth be told my experience and technical expertise die off quickly when it comes to anything MIDI based - or synth VSTi based. I really don't deal in those areas very often. I'm not stupid on the subject, but I dabble in that stuff so infrequently I tend to forget what I've learned pretty easily. Most of my clients are local rock bands, or blues, jazz, folk, pop, voice-over etc. Nothing involving MIDI sequencing. In fact, most of my clients wouldn't know what MIDI was if it hit them over the head. I'm only using the mixing and effects side of Scope. I can't remember the last time I pulled up one of the synths and did anything meaningful with it. I have a couple of keyboards here but my clients use them just to play simpler piano/synth parts - I've never recorded a single second of MIDI with them. Just run the analog outs through my Mackie and into my A16. So I'm really a bottom feeder when it comes to the more technical aspects of Scope lol

Still Scope is the hub of my studio. Couldn't do what I do without it. No one will be sadder than me when my Scope PCI cards and A16 cease to work and I have to upgrade. But the Xite and Ferrfish products are on the horizon for me. Anyway - cheers and have a great holiday everyone! Thanks for your help!

For instance, I plugged the Minimax directly into the s/pdif out module with no mixer and it sounded much more clear. I asked SC about this and they said they didn't notice this but that all software mixers color the sound. I asked SC to try my experiment but did not hear back from them. They don't want to know the truth about it. The Cubase mixer is transparent.

Please stop trying to spread this lie. You are the only one that says this - you have been told here many times. I even tested it with Minimax direct be fair to you and to make sure I wasn't cheating myself with some placebo effect, only to find that the mixer is transparent. You also tried to pedal this shit on Gearslutz.

From your last few posts I thought you were trying to actually get on board as a positive member of this forum, but now I see you're pedalling the same old inaccurate shit. We have enough of that from muppetboy.

I am not a liar! I know what I heard. You should not have said that.

Well heres my findings.

1) the color GREEN represents a note in a modular patch going through an STM dumped into the project with no tweaking,
2) the RED represents the output direct from Modular.

The STM channel is set to 0 db.

So what does this output mean ?
