D.I. box noob question

Hi all

Sorry for the noob question, but I need something clear up if possible. I was about to buy a box for injection and then had a query on them, and if I actually could benefit in this scenario...


Fig 1. is how I currently record.

Fig 2. is how I would do it with di direct box

My question is... in this configuration, the d.i. box would make a difference to the signal? or he would only make a difference if I was going to live guitar to box, the sound card?

Thank you for all your help.

In my opinion you have basically three alternatives for the recording of the guitar:

1. get an amp excellent sound, recording with a microphone, or more, in a room of good survey.

Challenges: you'll probably need a studio proper, or at least no neighbours, because it could become LOUD. It takes time and experience of mike a good amp and even microphones expensive (several). Result depends on the acoustics of the room more than you think.

Another way here, is to get/build an isolation area around your amp, which will be a kind of micro studio for it, allowing you to play hard and with a good tone, but in a more controlled environment. Many advantages for this make. Unfortunately, the expense can also be 'pro' - but I don't know there are DIY solutions.

2. record of the amp 'dry' via either its line (send FX will also) or use a ' soaking power allowing you to put the amp (some sounds so much better AMPS), but with a low volume in the room. You can connect the device of soaking directly, or give the speaker the "tame" signal and mike the amp without disturbing the neighbors that it now. Good power soaks don't come cheap (?). Dry recording, for example by not using mike, often sounds like this: dry. It depends on your style of music, but an electric guitar should probably be considered an acoustic instrument. Instead of a diaphragm in wood, it has a speaker. The sound, often, we want to achieve is an amp of good sounding in a good room, which is an acoustic sound. You simply cannot get to an exit row or direct to a soaking of output power (not president). He needs treatment.

3 use a program like GuitarRig, Amplitube etc. No installation required, regardless of the size of the room and acoustic sound (except that the acoustics of the room always will affect listening!) or mike. The software simulates the amps, effects and even mic configurations; added the "airplane" that you will not get a direct connection. Once again, according to your style. If I were Bill Frisell or Jim Hall, i.e. anyone with an as most of their music very "naked" guitar sound, I probably does (but these guys have access to the great engineers too...), but in a pop idom / mixed rock with other instruments and certainly to do demos, that's actually what I would recommend. Especially for us space challenged who have neighbors and an infinite time either. No, you will not look like 'all the world'; It's garbage in French - garbage out as always (many are disappointed by the present, but some are happy, it is always the case)

All you need is a sound card with an instrument of entry. If you have a * good * sound card already who is not entered instrument, you can consider a DI box. Otherwise I'd say it's redundant.

  • Noob question: Playbooks all have the same performance?

    I know... noob question. I am to complete my first game PlayBook and before I submit the app store I wanted to make sure that hardware performance will be the same on all the playbook or will it be something because of the performance issues on a per-device basis? I hope that this will be similar to a console where you can expect stable performance. THX.

    All devices (currently) work the same in the same conditions.

    That does not mean, however, that you can treat it as a console.  A console runs only a game and nothing else (in general).

    The PlayBook can run multiple applications, and among other things, a user can 'Behavior of the Application' setting configuration Mode Showcase, default, or standby, what determines if your application runs or stops when it is idle.  If they are in window mode, they may have other things at the same time.

    To a first approximation, however, "even in the world" is probably correct, for now.  Don't forget there will be different tablets in the future, with specification different but compatible with your app... not quite like a console there where many games is basically orphaned (or requires a port) when a new generation comes out.

  • Noob question: autonomous AIR .bar files?

    Sorry for the noob question, yet to learn these things from the air. When we create a .bar file, it is the only file position, does it include the runtime air, flash, etc, etc, or is it always require an accumulation of air / flash runtimes on the device? THX.

    The .bar file does not include the time of execution because the runtime is already preinstalled on the Playbook.

    Air is really integrated into the PlayBook so you don see the difference between a native app or an Air application.

  • NooB question: Cup titles and a schedule of transfer

    Let's say I have tons of tracks.  In the Middle, I find I want to firm up a few seconds of footage.  I can cut, or delete the clip, but I still have to select all the following clips and make sure they move upward.  There must be a smarter way of removing a few seconds of footage and moving upward?

    Sorry for the noob question, I searched on google and didn't know what to look for.  I am open for more information that can help me to tighten my research thus.  See you soon.

    The answer will probably depend on more factors:

    Are there in your Timeline, Clips above the area of the Clip you want to Trim?

    What you want to happen to those?

    Are you only concerned to "strengthen" the Clips on the same video track where you cut, or Clips on other tracks video too?

    It is likely that the tool Edit Ripple, or Rt-click and Ripple delete, will do what you want, but who can count on the other Clips on other tracks, and video that you need.

    Good luck and please let us know a little more.

  • Characters such as apostrophes and the french quotes turn into boxes or question marks

    We recently upgraded from CF5 to CF7 and encounter a problem with the previously saved text more correctly displayed. Some characters (apparently, non-ASCII characters as curly apostrophes and quotation marks) are made in the form of boxes or question marks. We have recently upgraded to Oracle 10 g to Oracle 8i, but this problem appears to be independent of the database stored in the text. Some examples of code that illustrates the problem:

    < CFSET string1 = 'Department' >
    < CFSET string2 = "' Hey - it" > "

    < CFOUTPUT >
    string1 is #string1 #.
    < BR >
    string2 is #string2 #.
    < / CFOUTPUT >

    output looks like this:

    string1 is Department? s
    string2 is good? He

    These are rendered as boxes seen in Internet Explorer. (They appear as question marks when I copy and paste here.)

    The UDF Demoronize helps to * some * of the time, but it's past still with lots of text, in particular the text that gets pasted from a Web site into a form, and then saved in a database. Does anyone have a solution for this? It is breaking my apps and incredibly annoying. I would like to either replace the problematic characters by the time they are displayed, or the replacement when they are entered into the database first place (and go back and update all previously recorded data to replace problematic characters with plain text equivalents).

    Any suggestion is appreciated.

    Finally, I've isolated the problematic characters so I edited the UDF (available at cflib.org) DeMoronize by adding replacements following text at the bottom:

    text = Replace (text, chr (8208), "-", "ALL");
    text = Replace (text, chr (8209), "-", "ALL");
    text = Replace (text, chr (8210), "-", "ALL");
    text = Replace (text, chr (8211), "-", "ALL");
    text = Replace (text, chr (8212), "-", "ALL");
    text = Replace (text, chr (8213), "-", "ALL");
    text = Replace (text, chr (8214), "|", "ALL");
    text = Replace (text, chr (8215), "_", "ALL");
    text = Replace (text, chr (8216), "'", "ALL");
    text = Replace (text, chr (8217), "'", "ALL");
    text = Replace (text, chr (8218), ",", "ALL");
    text = Replace (text, chr (8219), "'", "ALL");
    text = Replace (text, chr (8220), "" "," ALL");
    text = Replace (text, chr (8221), "" "," ALL");
    text = Replace (text, chr (8222), "" "," ALL");
    text = Replace (text, chr (8223), "" "," ALL");
    text = Replace (text, chr (8226), "·", "ALL");
    text = Replace (text, chr (8227), ">", "ALL");
    text = Replace (text, chr (8228), ".", "ALL");
    text = Replace (text, chr (8229), "..", "ALL");
    text = Replace (text, chr (8230), "...", "ALL");
    text = Replace (text, chr (8231), "·", "ALL");

  • Outsourced nOOb Question ID box

    Currently, we outsource our ID box, at a cost of $300 per month.

    The area ID is OpenBSD, which I know a little. My questions are, the price seems high, and what should I know to set up my own box IDS?

    TIA!

    You don't need to know much about the underlying instrument used effectively operating system the ID.

    The knowledge needed to use the ID are related to the treatment of the events of signatures, tuning the IDS in your environment and in response to significant events indicated by the sensor.

    A GUI is anchored in the ID that allows the Web in the sensor to manage. An event viewer is available for download for to look you at events like the sensor reports to them.

    In the city, I have work, demonstrate us the sensors every two weeks to our interested customers. You can contact your local Cisco Office and see if there will be demos in the coming months, you could attend to familiarize yourself with the device.

    Hope this helps,

  • Totally new with noob questions

    OK so im totally new to developing with Flex. My company uses flex to create RIA that work to read and write with SalesForce CRM. I use the salesforce toolkit and have an understanding of how everything works great base. what im trying to do is take the data which are entered in a text box and who present for salesforce. Currently, the first name, name and phone number are in the code. have created text boxes, I don't know how to take the value that is entered in one and make that equal to the value of its corresponding field.

    like I said... total noob

    If you are in ActionScript. FirstName = firstName.text should be fine, but in MXML and sometimes in ActionScript, you may need this:

    VAC. FirstName = "{firstName.text}.

  • Hidden text box and question until what the previous text box has a value that it contains.

    Hello

    I'm trying to create a form that has fields required in it. I know that Adobe Acrobat is a great way to say "Hey, you must complete this part of the form...." "so what I wanted to do was put an overlay of a text box on top of the question, so they can't jump some criteria in the form. For example, if my name is John and my last name is Smith I would like the first (first name) box is visible and the second box (surname) to be hidden until I enter any name such as John, Joe, Chris, Abigail, etc..

    Is it possible that there is that the availability of hide a box of text over the expression until something has a value contained in the previous question?

    Sorry, I'm a newbie to creating forms and would like to get help on this situation.

    Thank you in advance!

    Answered my own question. Must have a "!" in front of the = so that any text!

  • General Noob question

    Hi all

    I have in the past played a bit with VMware server. so I'm quite familiar with the concept of virtual servers; and I have read through most of the VM-ware site and have became familiar with the idea of ESXi.

    So I have a series of fundamental questions; and I hope that someone can guide you in the right direction.

    But first, it's my objective and existing installation:

    I have a small server with 6 Windows 2003 server room. Four of them are highly dependent on each other for the day-to-day operations of the company.

    Issues related to the:

    • (1) is it possible to place all six servers on a single physical box. and second the same box running in the back round that would be start / resume if the failure occurred on the first box?

    • (2) if the above is possible; What would be the best combination of VM ware software to achieve this?

    • (3) how powerful the 2 machines should be? (Processor, memory, Raid sets?)

    • (4) should I set up a low-cost test first; computer to familiarize myself with the concept; What is so easy that anyone can do?

    Thanks in advance

    Yes, it's the best approach, if you can stick the two together for the machine that provides the storage to ensure the good performance of the GigE connections.  As far as coexisting with your other network - which greatly depends on how much traffic is currently on this network and how much things ESXi comes with the traffic.  It's a good idea to use at least one VLAN to separate, because that provides insulation not only for performance, but also for safety.

    Regarding your test white box system, you will need to check some of the other positions and ESX Whitebox sites to see if this material works under ESXi.

  • Gray boxes with question marks

    When I find some PDF files, a grey box with a red question mark inside appears. I can't move, modify or delete these boxes. I searched on the web and most of the responses indicated that these boxes indicate corrupted images, but my documents have no images. Mine appear at the beginning and end of text blocks. They do not appear in the thumbnail view. I am running Acrobat Professional, version 8.1.

    What are these boxes and how do I get rid of them?

    A screenshot of what I see is attached.

    grey box.GIF

    A little more information, to ensure the excellent diagnostic monitoring.

    When Acrobat opens a PDF file and it finds the annotations of an unknown type it shows these boxes. How have to disappear (or anything else) is to install a plug-in of specific designed to show them.

    Older versions of Acrobat just show nothing at all.

    Acrobat 5 would show nothing.

    Acrobat 7 would show the boxes.

  • Assistant of the output instrument always 0.0 without input series, where's the trigger? -Noob question

    Guys keep with me, I'm another PLCs and VB/C programmer, there are still the old paradigms of locking my head.

    See attached vi. After that I disconnected the entry in the series, the wizard exits still instrument 0,0 to its terminal at regular intervals about 1 hz. Now how does the wizard output always inst 0.0 without a trigger entry series? There must be a timer somewhere... but I searched everywhere there is no timer, including by opening the front panel of the wizard of the instrument. I watch the whole bulk of the loop and block VISA etc, there is no synchronization setting.

    So my question is, if there is no entry of series by using the instrument, which is the parameter object that triggers the instrument Wizard still out 0,0 at regular intervals? Where the object/setting?

    Thanks in advance

    Great big thank you! I can sleep tonight! Muahahahahahha!

  • EA4500 + ADSL router: networking noob question

    Then... I'm not sure of the right words to use, but this is the case I would appreciate the help. I tried to figure out how to survive myself, but I find it a little confusing - however, if you think I just need a networking 101 do not hesitate to send me to appropriate information sources (I've tried a few, as I say, but I have not yet found a place where my situation fits!).

    Quick back story: I have a cheap TalkTalk ADSl router (D-Link 3680) where the Wireless does not properly in the House. So I just got a DSL EA4500 router for better strength/speed/compliance wireless - you'll just have to forgive me for not having an ADSL router, which I realize may have been a simpler solution!

    First of all, I put the (D-Link of TalkTalk 3680) ADSL router in Bridge mode and got this and the EA4500 work together which was great as it goes. However, I would be hard...

    I have a tower PC and wish to receive wired ethernet network. While I know in the set - up above I can run a cable from the 3680 to the EA4500 and then another cable to the PC because the PC is closer to the telephone (with the ADSL router) Jack, physically it seems wiser, if I take the PC of the 3680 ethernet connection (along with a second cable 3680 to EA4500 connection for the wireless). It may or may not be relevant that the 3680 is a Fast Ethernet output, as is the network PC card (i.e. are not Gigabit).

    I don't know (a) whether the above configuration is possible and if yes, how, or (b) the question whether in terms of networking, it is best to cable to the EA4500 computer (even if this will create a longer path to the PC and the wiring more).

    Meaning, and if yes maybe someone could give me also a term for what I'm doing?

    Help gratefully received! Garreth

    3680 port LAN (bridge) => EA4500 Port WAN (router)-online PC peripherals and wireless

    It's the best configuration and nothing should be connected to the 3680 other than the EA4500.

    The physical location of the electronics is not important, unless you can not run cable or wireless signal is low.
