What is the difference between a balanced and unbalanced mono jack? This is a good answer to the question as it was worded ("difference between the two types of Mono Jacks"), but I think it would be rather natural to also explain what balanced audio actually is, or at least link to the Wikipedia article. "This requires a hot AND cold for the signal" hardly does the trick, the common names "hot and cold" are not only unprecise but also really misleading on their own. |

Stereo and mono cables and jacks? What happens when you cross them? That is mixing both channels (there is not such thing as a special "merging" of audio sources, what you probably mean is mixing with both channels at the same level), so you need what I said: stereo to dual mono. |

Stereo and mono cables and jacks? What happens when you cross them? It will ignore the right channel. If you want to mix the two channels you need to use two channels on your mixer or a stereo channel; in either case you need a stereo -> 2xmono. |

Has anybody tried using GIT version control for session control of audio recordings? @Magrangs I agree. That's why I'm proposing this library where you can directly write the project files as Haskell source code, I just don't think many people in the music business would use such a system even if it worked fine – many of them like shiny, vintage-looking GUIs that behave as much as possible like archaic tape machines... |

Plugging a stereo jack into a mono plug input shouldn't actually short the R channel to ground; only plugging a mono jack into a stereo plug output will. Which should, in a properly designed device, not cause problems, but it certainly can in a badly designed one. |

Has anybody tried using GIT version control for session control of audio recordings? @Magrangs bouncing effect chains doesn't modify audio files in place but creates new files. It's IMO quite a hack anyway: reducing CPU usage by such means (in programming terms, memoising the results of audio effects) is something the DAW should be responsible for, not the user. |

Best Noise reduction methods? If the noise reducer needed anything before it, it wouldn't be doing a very good job. |

Has anybody tried using GIT version control for session control of audio recordings? @JPollock: I agree, that's likely a problem – have you tried it, though? I think git is quite agnostic about binary vs. text files, as long as they aren't compressed in some nontrivial way. Still it would be really hard to keep track about where changes happened. I have for quite a while been thinking about a source-code–based alternative to the usual GUI DAWs, but there aren't any that are really usable, are there? I've started to write something on my own, but probably won't be able to get it working well enough for professional use. |

Has anybody tried using GIT version control for session control of audio recordings? @Magrangs: that's not the issue, because DAWs normally don't modify any audio files in place, so you could really handle those as immutable data, managed efficiently by git-annex, which should also be quite a help in distributing the files. |

Windows 7 - multiple programs with conflicting sound output Again, what kind of driver does Ableton use? There are a couple of possibilities, like DirectSound or ASIO4All, which work quite differently in such regards. |

Windows 7 - multiple programs with conflicting sound output What audio devices do you use, and with what driver? You bet it's quite intentional that programs other than your DAW aren't granted access, so there won't be any conflicts over e.g. sample rate. — There are specialised frameworks for bringing the audio from different programs together, perhaps most notably ReWire. You won't be able to use this with programs that aren't professional audio applications, though. |

How to improve live sound within poor stage layout? That's nice and fine if you can afford in-ear monitoring for everyone (including the not-neglectable maintainance). For a venue that often has a lot of different bands, possibly festivals with multiple on a single evening, quite unlikely – at least risky. Without in-ear monitoring, you will hardly get away with only sidefills; wedges are unabstainable for reasonably loud monitoring of singers' microphones (though you can possibly turn them quite a bit down). |
