compellor and Omnia 6

[CalifZeke]

I've auditioned many of his presets, listened to alot of his work and have had many lengthy discussions with him. He would be someone I would trust the sound of my station to if I couldn't do it myself for some reason.

Yet, he'll make some 'claim' that's just plain wrong, yet post it as if it is fact.

He makes claims about products, as if he was the designer(know-it-all), and they are wrong. I lurk on other boards, where he's done the same, and been corrected many times by others, or the designers themselves.

That doesn't tell me anything. I was asking for specific examples.

Thanks for the kind words Mike. The same goes the other way!

I really didn't mean to cause such disturbance here (or is CalifZeke causing it) with my statement that I preferred the WB AGC to be left enabled in Omnia-6 with pre-processing. I'll just briefly add that in regards to WB AGC fighting pre-processing issue, I completely removed the WB AGC action by raising it's threshold practically out-of-reach. This can be done with the "para 666 1" command that can be issued from the command line via serial interface, or from the remote control software if you put that command as a trigger and apply it (hit test button). If you also turn off gate, the WB AGC Will sit at 0 dB gain reduction doing nothing, but the gain structure it provides will stay, and I found that to sound better. With WB AGC disabled the gain loss is significant and you have to make up for that with input gain and master drive. In my situation that required maxing out input gain and also using increased master drive and, like I said, I preferred the previous solution. I know Frank will now probably chime in tell you to disregard this and that you don't do it, and I'm not recommending any of this, I'm just explaining how I used it and what I liked. YM, of course, MV.

CalifZeke, you seem to have very strong feelings about my comment on this topic and make some unsubstantiated claims. I really don't know where does this hostility come from and I'm sorry if my comment upset you so much. Please understand it's just an opinion. Anyway, I can promise you I intend to focus my attention much more on other processors in the future, so hopefully you'll have less problems with me.


Regards,

I guess CalifZeke hasn't read the fine print at the bottom of the page:

Postings on Radio-Info.com are the opinions of the people who post them. Views expressed do not necessarily represent the views of Radio-Info.com or its parent in3 media, inc. In fact many of the views expressed here are just plain wrong. But they are opinions and this site allows us all to discuss those opinions. Any reliance on information posted is done so at the user's own risk.

I think most of us know Frank and Bob are the spokesperson for their respective products, while the rest of us are sharing opinions based on our experience. CalifZeke just needs to get on the same page.

Defeating the WB-AGC is easily done with an ON/OFF choice in the WB-AGC sub-menu.
