comment Recording with a mixer
the paragraph is accompanied by imagery of 1/4 inch balanced and unbalanced cable ends. For the stereo/monitor outs, the mixer manual gives "+4dbu nominal, 150Ohm imp, 10kOhm 'appropriate impedance'; phone jack trs connector"

comment Recording with a mixer
I am a newb with this stuff myself, but his EMU manual (p.49) says "all [ins and outs] are designed for EITHER balanced or unbalanced cables [...] balanced signals provide +6db on inputs [...] problems with hum and noise, use balanced cables". Does this mean that the device is auto-sensing based upon the type of 1/4 inch cable, and so he should try a TRS cable?

comment Is there an equivalent to Audacity's noise reduction effect in other DAW?
The processing latency issue sounds like a deal breaker for most applications. If you don't trim or change the run-length of the clip, it will probably be a seamless alteration from the perspective of the DAW, but it is a shame in that it would be "destructive" edit.

comment Is there an equivalent to Audacity's noise reduction effect in other DAW?
it is possible to edit the samples with a separate application while keeping the file link in the DAW software. Perhaps you can make an archive copy of the original and then run a noise removal pass on it using audacity. I note from the wiki that "lookahead" is used and would result in significant delay/latency in realtime processing.

comment Why is my cutting equalizer increasing output level?
Actually, I think I worked it out: in the graphs, the original is a 1.273v and the resulting square wave is 1V, then the following graph show an analysis of a 1v square wave with frequencies which correlate to the frequencies used in the harmonics demonstration.

Save the image to disk (or note the url), then edit the post, click the icon that looks sort of like a landscape painting.

comment Why is my cutting equalizer increasing output level?
In that graph the peak value of the original is higher (or equal to the square waveform). Yes you are dealing with a multiplier of 1.2-ish but the harmonics are additive with negative values. I do understand what you are saying, I was only asking (without running a simulation myself) if the fact that the square wave peak never actually is higher than the original sine is due to the all the harmonics used being aligned in time (i.e. is the graph a special case)

comment Scrolling rainbow when projector screen is in frame
Newton Rings or Polarizing artifacts? Some devices use polarization for 3d display. This could also be an aliasing problem: the sampling resolution needs to be approx 2x larger than the smallest frequency.

comment Why is my cutting equalizer increasing output level?
Your distillation is a little confusing to me: it is obvious that at certain points in the time series, the amplitude is indeed larger than the original waveform, but if you look at the graphs, the peak amplitude of the "composite wave" is never larger than the peak of the original waveform. Is this because of the time alignment of the waveforms in their illustrations?

What about the "chain-q" (the lit up "link" icon)?

comment Can someone explain 'phase' and related terminology in audio production?
Do you mean to say "try inverting the phase" of one of them (?)

comment Is it possible to convert output of TV Channel (set top box 720p) to 1080p?
VGA is an analog connection, but what is transmitted itself may be at 720p(1280 × 720) or 1080p(1920 x 1080) resolution. Resampling a low-resolution "standard def" image (which is probably what the STB is sending over the composite cable) is a much bigger visual problem than analog/digital signal. If a 720p channel is being downsampled for output over composite and then stretched (resampled) by the tv set to native resolution, you have even more degradation.

comment Looking for a Graphics program
Don't forget to ask your friend what file formats, color depth(s), transparency etc. his/her program will support.

comment What hardware/software to get fastest possible access time in AVC/h264 files?
can you specify a worst-case or average time (at least a magnitude) you are asking about? (i.e Are you trying to optimize a 5 second delay or 5 ms?)

comment White Balance/ Filters
does white balance adjustment impact capture speed? It does (or did) increase the required exposure time in DSLRs I have used.

have you looked into DLSR controller apps for android and iphone? some of them allow for control and preview via a cable

comment Safe to unpower audio amp?
This amp has an auto-power switch setting which senses an input signal and powers on and off accordingly ( docs.google.com/… )

comment How to reproduce any sound
indeed: two single frequencies played simultaneously can create more than 2 audible frequencies and if the same frequency is played "twice", but 1 is 180 degrees out of phase with the other, they can cancel each other perfectly and create no audible sound.

comment Why does the color red always appear pixelated on TV and videos on the PC?
I suspect it may also have to do with the purity of the color. The other colors are also being quantized in the same manner as the red, but each color is treated individually, so the average area has overlap across three colors and they mask each other. The red in the sample frame is fairly pure.

When he said duplicating frames, I presumed it wasn't interlaced, but I see that I misread it.
