What is the answer to this question? But now I want to change the audio clips to NOT start automatically when the page opens. I want the embedded file to be OFF, and have the user be able to Play it when they want. Any help would be appreciated! ... View more

well we've already gone thru that. . I think that you are just as likely, if not more so, to get increased distortion through cone surrounds going rotten - that's a far more common occurence. ... View more

so will those capacitors demonstrate failure at any setting, or settings other than zero? ... View more

SteveG(AudioMasters) wrote: Yeah, adjust the level controls certainly - but it won't reduce the actual harshness (aka distortion) very much, just the level of it. You just end up with harshness at a lower level, is all... The other thing people have done with these speakers is to re-cap the crossovers - apparently this can help too. well, the uppers aren't always distorted, just relatively loud. But what does recap the crossovers mean?  Does that require $? Thanks ... View more

A lot of people who used them described the Decade series as 'harsh'... and others loved them - it really was a matter of taste. To me, they certainly didn't sound exactly neutral, whatever you did with them. So there's a good chance that I'd agree with you about the sound you are hearing, especially if you're listening to modern electronics-based productions. These sort of speakers are great for spotting defects in recordings, but long-term exposure is almost bound to be wearing on the ears. It strikes me that you might be better off with more 'European'-style speakers - these generally don't exhibit these characteristics anything like as much. The rest of what you have is fine, although the sub does seem to be a little on the over-spec'ed side... Ebay may well be your friend here - often there are bargains to be had. I been EQ the files lower uppers, been turning down treble on the amp, and even turn the JBL speakers AWAY from the room at times. "over-spec'ed side" means...  ?  ... View more

Question:  Have you burned a CD or made a decent bit rate MP3 copy of your stuff then listened to it on a wide range of other gear? In an ideal world, you'll have perfect monitor speakers and perfect acoustics in your mixing room.  The idea world rarely exists though.  In the non-ideal world, you have to teach yourself what things have to sound like in your studio to also sound acceptable in your car, on your friends' various hifi set ups, on earbuds from your iPad and so on.  It's far from ideal, but burning a test mix, listening critically on lots of systems to note what you don't like, then doing another test to repeat the process--and so on--will eventually give you a fighting chance of getting a good mix in less than idea circumstances. One other factor to consider is personal taste.  In another forum I frequently debate with recordists (often in the USA) who love the sound of large dynamic mics like an SM7B or RE20--but I find this artifically warm and lacking in detail.  I much prefer the sound I get from a selection of large diaphragm condersers--more crisp and clear to my ear but considered harsh by others. i have found when I get a good track, or a good EQ, etc., it sounds good everywhere, tho maybe not like a perfect studio master. I'm a photogreapher and this is the same for photos: a good image color file looks good everywhere:  on unbalanced monitors, on any web site, any service bureau, etc.  So I'm trying to pick up the same skills in Audition.  Thank you guys for helping. ...

Thank you all; I love data. HARSH: I dont like harsh anywhere including live concerts and since forever, so it's not just old ears. Harsh to me is when upper tones cover up the lower tones and I have to conciously pick thru the noise to hear the good stuff.  Good Stuff ???   BASS  BASS BASS Why bass (= EDM, Dubstep...)?  Cuz it's pure & primitive and lifts the body and the modern creators are putting in bass sounds like never before heard. ...

Gotcha Our sound systems  may not be balanced, but how balanced must they be?  Even the live concerts have harsh upper tones with raspy snares and cymbals and other white noise garbage that buries all the other tones. So thats personal taste.  ... View more

largely this is just a matter of taste.  If I mixed the originals, i would just lower the tracks with upper registers.  But taking a final output from the web or cd or anywhere, will EQ or compression put a different flavor on those tones, cuz everything is now blended? Sure I'll try & see, but sometimes it saves a lot of time when pros answer. maybe i'll post samples later, but right now, it's more a techniques question. ... View more

Am I the only one who makes image changes, only to find out later, "select all" & "auto-sync" was active. OMG, there is no simple undo all that. Yikes, 200 images each one has to be undone in history. Or "reset all" and all your individual previous work is erased. Selected images need to be in flashing RED NEON !! ... View more

I'm seeing you cannot do this either; kindly advise: One html page, loadMovieNum swf levelxx for any of the different content, only ever one swf at a time. These seem to all run at the same fps even if each swf has a different fps.  Is this correct? I was even hoping we could embed different fps swf's in any one html page, so that seems even more unlikely vis-a-vis above. ?? ... View more

thank you yes, i was afraid of that spreading out option, as I would have to spread out 35 frames and then identify 35x2 more button actions... ! Can I put AS3 mixed in there? Do you know the AS3 script for that? ... View more

if it is easy, or there is some place to read that, then perhaps you could direct me? Altho the help files are often tough cuz I still dont even know syntax concepts or what "string" means etc. Hard to believe?   But if I can get something to work, I just move on to my other life and that's the end of my training. With modern speeds, I dont need to shave 5 kb here and there. But thanks ! ... View more

Holy cow, I dont know any of that. Once I "get url", isn't there just a way with naming the swf and "goto" or "with" or any of that elementary stuff? Otherwise I just make a twin html page that simply starts at the desired location and call that up. The basic idea is simply to avoid the intro if anyone returns to the first html page. Thanks ...

When my page opens up, it has some flash behavior, a welcome routine/movie, and further links. However, when people continue into the site, and want to return to that welcome page (the home page), I dont want them to endure all the activity, so I'd like the return links to pull up the welcome page at the end of all that movie stuff. Well, if you just call up the last frame of that entire welcome page, maybe the timeline has skipped frames that trigger movies that make thast last frame appearance. So in addition to not knowing how to reference that link, as above mentioned, I dont even know if it can be done. So I just made a new swf at the final frame with all the movies done playing, and made that the return link. Thanks for inquiring. ... View more

OK well I guess I'm out of luck here. Finally I just made a new swf in the state I wanted it to be. Now I wonder if I could have called up the frame location in the previous swf? Seems the problem would be that sub movies in that previous swf would not be done running, or triggered. Is that true? ... View more

I'm a novice and in our classes they never even mentioned LocalConnections. The help files are greek to me, saying stuff about sending and receiving data. I recall doing something like with (_root)... or _root.movie.play... or this... or .parent...? etc but that was jumping around with movie clips in the same folder or same document. Now I dont know how to establish a link going up 2 folder levels and get to a particular swf frame inside an html. I thought this was pretty simple, mostly just knowing which command, what the target syntax is, and the final script syntax. Any thoughts? Thanks for your time ! ... View more
