Title: Sound changed from version f to i
Post by: Flecko on June 17, 2007, 03:04:40 pm
Hit Peter,
as you said the sound chenged in version i. At least when compared to version f. The sound of engine 1  has become thicker with Vi but with loss of resolution. It is hard to say wich is to prefer... vf lacks of bottom end and vi seams not so accurate...but I would prefer Vf because the sound is more 3D and finer.
Sombody else has made experience with this?

Greetings Adrian

This is very good information Adrian; Often I think I hear differences, but when it is confirmed by others ...

For me it, currently, it is very difficult anyway, because I'm more busy with the technical stuff than listening lately.

Thank you !
Peter

Adrian,

I realize I never took the effort to look into this. But how are you doing ?
You are still using Windows2000 do you ?
And I *still* did not try that ... :(

Currently I lost track of any possible necessities (for you) to switch to a higher version than the "f" you mention here. Do you have them ?
(obviously I was working on Vista only for the past months)

Peter

Hi Peter,
I didn't had much time to listen to music in the last weeks. I move to a new appartment again so there was very much to to (and still is).
I made the test with version f to i one day with warmed up equimpment and the differences was easy to hear (i thought). Some days later I did it again with cold equipment and I heard nothing  :scratching:.

I still use 2000 but I also hadn't the chance to try something else. I noticed you were very busy with the new updates for vista. Perhaps you will find some time sometimes to try it. :)

I just listened short to the new versions, but guessing the changes made for Vista I didn't listen carefully to differences in the sound.

I'm confused?  How could this thread have been started in June before i even came out?  Anyway, I'm still listening between D and I versions myself.  I am not listening as closely as I was between D and H because the differences I hear between D and I do not bother me like they did in D & H.  I'm sorry I have't put as much time in comparing D and I as I'd like, I just put on I and play with the Q1 slider, currently the slider is playing around 18.... but I'm all over the place with it (which makes hard comparing,,, I need to be more systematic than I've been). 

 Once I load a song in mem, if I stop that song and change the slider then start the song again, do the changes in slider take hold?...sometimes I get the feeling the changes don't take place until I load a different song.

Haha, you guys talk about version a,b,c,d,i without mentioning whether it's about 0.7 or 0.8, 0.9 etc. That's why.

The changed slider takes effect when a new .wav would be loaded. Or when (stop and) play is pressed (or Next, Prev).
FYI : A next track is nothing to this respect for a big cue pile. But you know that I guess ...

I want to clarify:
When I load one of my whole album WAVs it takes ~15 seconds.... after playing it, if I push stop button, and then push play button, that same WAV starts up immediately.  But what you are saying is, after I start up a WAV with Q1 at 15; push stop button; change Q1 slider to 17; push start button... that the new Q1 postition at 17 will play the WAV at that position 17.  Ok? thanks Peter.  hope you had a good vacation... now get to work lol
