Har-Bal Users Forum BBS

Sort of sounds like the way Gigastudio works. I guess you would sync HB to MTC (Midi Time Code) or something, and the audio in HB would have to be timestamped obviously so Har-Bal knows when it starts. Interesting idea...

I've been running version 2 for a while and would like to uninstall 1.51 Is there an uninstall procedure - Or can I just remove the 1.51 folder ? I don't want to trash any user regisration info...

Think of it like any other acoustic instrument, in that the instrument has it's own resonating chamber where the fundamental frequency (or frequencies, in the case of say a piano or guitar) can interract with the overtones to produce a composite sound or resonance. The vocal resonating chambers are ...

I generally call it parallel compression but I would still deam this a portion of the pre-mastering process. Let's not loose site of what mastering actually is defined as. I definitely think there are times where this is advantageous but I would label this as mix post processing rather than stating...

Mike, just checked out your site, it looks great mate, i actually share a similar interest in film scoring myself, but yet to have the opportunity to work on a "biggie" just got my diploma from the LA film music institute after 2 years of scoring in pro tools. Though obviously your a much...

Parallel compression works like this... you take a track(unprocessed) and mix in a duplicate of it which has been extremely compressed of most transients, and mix to taste. Commonly known as the "New York compression trick"... it's been used for ages by engineers all over the world, just ...

But wouldn't a "match reference curve" button achieve the same thing, and be much more intuitive ? And then we can use the Frequency Response graph of the filter to see the adjustments.

I've had a good chance to try IntuitQ for a while now, and my general observation is that it seems to like to cut 1k-5k a little too much for my taste, and once in a while it will go crazy around 100-200 hz and boost too much - mostly on tracks that have no heavy percussion or drums. Sometimes thoug...

The mid and tweeter are off to the side (and I have them positioned like in the picture - with the holes on the inside of the pair). JBL hasn't marked either as L or R, and the documentation I have doesn't specify that either. I think you're right, I'm going to have to experiment with positioning an...

Hi - This may sound like a ridiculous question, but I can't find any info on it whatsoever... I have a pair of JBL 4410's (positioned vertically w/ woofer on bottom). What side should the ventilation hole be on ??? Right now, as I have them, the holes are on the inside (see http://www.8thstreet.com/...

Thanks for the explanation Paavo. I had to read it a few times to get my head around it - but I somewhat understand it now - at least enough to see why I like the min phase filter better.

Hi all, could somebody please help me, ive read in this forum that it is a good idea to mix down at -6 db, I was wondering if i could pull the master fader down in a 24 bit recording as opposed to mixing the tracks to make sure the highest peak is -6db, the only thing is i have heaps of volume auto...

Probably clipping... sounds like you're simply overloading your car amp/speakers ?

I'm curious as to what is the recommended setting for use on a whole mix vs. individial tracks ? I really don't fully understand linear phase vs. minimum phase... I seem to like the minimum phase setting in HB better on most everything. Can someone point me to a good reference that explains what the...
