Thx for this video! I connect my guitar to an amp modeler (Helix) and use it in 1 of 3 ways: A) to an amp B) to a mixer C) to a powered FRFR speaker. When connecting to an amp I set the Helix out to 'instrument level' and when connecting to a mixer or FRFR I set the Helix output to 'line level'. Question 1: Is that correct? Question 2: In all 3 scenarios I am using a standard TS instrument cable. Does that matter?
@arbitersofsound2 күн бұрын
Correct! That is exactly what you should be doing :D If you were connecting to the mic-pre of the mixer you would need a DI (but since you're using a TS cable I assume you are connecting to the line ins). Also the only time you would need a TS speaker cable would be to go from a power amp to speakers (which you clearly aren't doing). So connection is correct and cable is correct :D

I have had the Touche SE for 1 month. Bought second-hand. Then realised that Liè only supports VST2. Now came across your video from a year ago and now the current one from 2024. You make possible what Expressive E has not been able to do for 7 years. WoW! Thank you. Thank you very much. I'll test it out now. I bought you coffee after testing and trying it out. Remarkable work! BTW: Lie. support wrote to me a month ago that they are now working on VST3 support in Liè. But when that will come: Probably not until Christmas 2025. In the meantime, I will probably be much further along with your software. Once again THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU from Börlinn!

Hi, thanks so much for this! So if I'm using the S/PDIF in the studio, how would it connect up? A TRS to Coaxial cable? Or does the device need to have an S/PDIF connection? And is this to record into the interface, or to send out from it? Which way can/does the signal flow? Really appreciate your help!
@arbitersofsound3 күн бұрын
You can only connect devices that have SPDIF. Most commonly you will find them as a coax cable pair on studio gear. Each cable transmits 2 channels out and 2 in. So you could send 2 channels out from your interface to a digital effect with SPDIF on one cable (lets say the white one) and record the effected audio back on another cable (the red one in this case). I hope this makes sense :D

You can connect it to the line level of your mixer and keep the gain of the mixer channel to minimum and adjust the gain of the headphone amp accordingly. It shouldn't be a problem :D

Great video, many thanks. Although in Instrument level (1:35) you say the cables to use are UNBALANCED TS, in Speaker level chapter (3:34) you say “commonly use mono UNBALANCED TS”, but you also say “ALWAYS use a SPEAKER cable, NEVER use an INSTR. cable”… Is this not contradictory? Which one is right? This also brings me another question.. how do you distinguish a BALANCED from an UNBALANCED TS cable?? Thanks!
@arbitersofsound23 күн бұрын
So, a TS cable is always unbalanced (you need three wires for balanced, so XLR or TRS). As for Instrument cables vs speaker cables, on the outside they look identical, but the wires in a speaker cable are of heavier gauge to handle the extra power from a power amp. Hope this helps :D

is there a standard notation to know which triplets notes should be omited or not?
@arbitersofsound28 күн бұрын
It would usually be shown with a rest in place of the note inside the triplet marking. If you're constantly omitting the same note (like in our example or e.g. Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears), then you start getting in the territory of swung regular notes, so you'll have to wait for the swing video ;) But generally swing is notated with regular notes and a pretty loose marking at the start of the score saying that the notes should be swung haha

Nice, very informative, thank you. Can you help me with this one: I want to buy an interface (Arturia Minifuse 4) that (except 2 combo inputs) has two 1/4" TRS balanced line inputs on the back and I wonder if I can connect my passive guitar or bass to it and have a decent input signal. Will Di-Box help here? Passive or active? Or maybe my guitar amp or ZOOM multiefect pedal work fine as a preamp? Thanks for help in advance.
@arbitersofsoundАй бұрын
You can obviously connect passive instruments to the combo inputs (since that's where the preamps are), but if you want to connect them to the line inputs at the back you need an instrument preamp. That most likely can be a line output from your amp or your pedal indeed. It can't be a DI box, because although that will fix the impedance of your signal, it won't provide the gain you need for a passive guitar/bass to hit the line level inputs. Hope this helps :D Let me know if you need more help!

Hy, so...i got a pair of audio monitors (presonus eris), they were a cheaper quality option than a pair of standar stereo speakers for my pc. The question is: What would be the cheapest way to use them with a balanced audio signal, without using an expensive audio interface. Since I only want to listen to quality music and not to produce it.

For now im using an usb soundcard (creative xfi 5.1) with rca outputs to the monitors, so the audio Quality is decent, but the noise or hum is crazy, really distracting. I know there are unsafe ways to remove the noise (like removing the ground cable from the power strip), so im just looking for a safe way to do it, with a budget of $ 40-60 maybe.

@@Atomxtube Ah, that sucks... Is the card usb powered? Also is your pc a desktop or a laptop? That hum is prob pc related, so I'd bet that the solution here isn't necessarily balanced cables but isolating the audio signal from the ground of the pc.
