Time for you to take your case to the Audio Engineering
Society and let them assess the merit of the
audio-related claims you presented in this thread.

Been there, done that, and they decided the issue in
favor of the viewpoint I've presented in this thread
decades ago. You need to catch up on your reading.


What models of the analog summing boxes that were
available decades ago proved indistinguishable in ABX
comparisons with the digital mixers that were available
decades ago?


Analog summing boxes have been a standard feature of analog consoles for
decades. Your apparent assertion that repackaging the circuitry for separate
sale dramatically changes their very nature from sonically transparent to
having colorations like musical instruments runs counter to common sense.
How could repackaging them and simplifying them cause them to add
dramatically more coloration?

As soon as you show some believable listening tests and/or technical to
support your assertions...


Yet you have apparently not used any of the contemporary offerings of
these devices. Note that neither have I, so I don't comment on what
they're supposed to or actually do or theory. Thee are in fact at the
moment several different takes on design. But that's not anything you're
concenred with.

Their name is legion.

But, I'll make it easy for you. Prove your point with a proper listening
test done on a Mackie SR32 known to be in good operating condition, IOW
operating within specs and well within its specified dynamic range.

It's now your turn to put up or shut up Predrag. You said the following:

"Distortions color the sound. Some of them are perceived as more pleasing to
the human ear than others. Analog summers, including analog consoles, all
offer different packages of subtle distortions, hence the differences in
sound. "

More specifically you said:

"Analog summers, including analog consoles, *all* offer different packages
of subtle distortions, hence the differences in sound."

You've thus said that all analog summers and all analog consoles sound
different from each other. That means that according to you, they all color
the sound. You've effectively said that they will *all* fail a straight wire
bypass test.

Since you've put a high premium on actually listening to components that are
being discussed, please also show the results of a proper listening test
proving that the SPL MixDream colors the sound.

Don't back off now.

I think most will agree ther's lots of analog gear you can set up to
work in straight wire mode.

However, whole point is in setting it NOT to. Than, compare "straight
wire" to "NOT straight wire",
in double blind and let the listener choose what he liked better.

You made it easy for me because you failed to prove anything: the placebo
effect of analog summing devices, your religious persecution, your superior
education...



You said the following:

"Distortions color the sound. Some of them are perceived as more pleasing
to
the human ear than others. Analog summers, including analog consoles, all

Exactly.

All I need to do is adjust the Gain/Trim knobs and push the faders. Real
drums, bass and a guitar or two. They will all sing within seconds. And I
can bet that I'd be able to detect any older Mackie in a blind test simply
by listening someone fiddle with the Trim pots.

"Operating within specs", "well within its specified dynamic range", you
must be kidding. You'd be surprised how many people buy analog mixers to mix
music and operate them the way it sounds right to their ears. Who cares how
you mix test tones?



Since you've put a high premium on actually listening to components that
are being discussed, please also show the results of a proper listening
test proving that the SPL MixDream colors the sound.





What if I heard what it's capable of in a test that wasn't "proper"?

Anyway, I liked what came out of it. So did many others. Many voted with
their wallets too. With or without proper listening tests.

Add to that the designers and the manufacturer. That's a lot of people.

If you were to somehow join the group, you would be the only one who hasn't
tried the MixDream and who openly shows an aversion to the concept. And yet
claim that all these people are deluding themselves; that the designers
failed in the primary design goal, that the manufacturer operates a scam and
that all the users believe in magic. You have claimed all that without ever
listening to the unit, let alone testing it in the lab.

It's not exactly scientific, to put it mildly, but it didn't automatically
mean that you were wrong, just that the burden of proof was on you. However,
after you've persisted that everyone else was wrong for three weeks now,
failing to offer any kind of proof whatsoever, you are grossly
overestimating your position if you think than anyone is interested in your
dribble. You shouldn't confuse civility with professional respect.

The above is the essence of troubleshooting and repairing macheniery.
When I first starting working for IBM in San Francisco, many years
ago, they put me with a "tech specialist" who went around fixing
machines that other techs couldn't fix. He would be very careful to
not touch a machine that was failing, but would just observe it and
study the prints trying to figure out what could cause the trouble.
Then, being very careful to not touch anything that was not in his
troubleshooting line of thought, he would carefully make a
measurement of a signal strength or timing. If I cleaned anything, or
touched anything, he would jump on my ass like a bunch of chickens on
a June bug.


He had almost a religious reverance for a failing machine, because he
knew how lucky he was to be there when it was actually failing, as
opposed to the many machines that had highly intermittant troubles
that were hell to fix.


As Dave Haynie said: ultimately all hardware is analog, intereting post,
thank you.

I'm being generous to Predrag by blaming his weirdness on the

himself. I'm used to arguing with numb-nuts high end audiophiles,
and Predrag acts much the same, only with a recorder in his hand.


I find it - and have so done for many many years - very useful to assume
that those I disagree with are sensible people with good reasons for having
the viewpoits they have and then to try to understand those reasons. Because
that is the route to synthesis. Much of your ""feud"" with Predrag to me
appears to be about brain-halve thinking.

As long as it is classical music recording where a mix emulates the real
event - then the holy grail to me is to find the static mix that works, I
want a stringently logical concept from mic setup to cd-burn. But I envision
contexts where I may end up preferring an analog intuitive non-programmable
and non-repeateable mix instead no matter the quality cost of DA and AD
conversion.

Those kinds of mixes sometimes contain that extra element, where the
mix is actually another instrument, and you can feel the immediacy of
what is happening and the urgency of it being right at the time, much
like a performance and unlike an automated mix that has been
micromanaged for a week.

I think most will agree there's lots of analog gear you
can set up to work in straight wire mode.


Many of us would hope that this is true. Those of us who have effectively
tested a goodly number of things have found it to to be generally true.
People like by Predrag, Hank, and Paul seem to disagree. They say that the
only reason why we can possibly believe that lots of analog gear can be set
up to work in straight wire mode is because we lack the necessary skills and
experiences. Of course they want to save our souls by opening our minds to
their world where everything has a characteristic sound.

However, whole point is in setting it NOT to. Than,
compare "straight wire" to "NOT straight wire",
in double blind and let the listener choose what he liked
better.


Personal preferences are just that - personal. If you want to do DBTs to
determine what people's personal preferences are and find out something
meaningful then you usually have to test a lot of people. I'll leave that to
Harman and Nabisco.

Us folks who do audio production only get gigs over and over because we are
able to do a bunch of things that clearly make things sound different, but
do so in such a way that we end up with distributable media containing
music that most people think sounds at least good enough for their purposes.

There are people who think that *everything* in and around the signal path
affects sound quality. Most of them are high end audiophiles. They run their
cables on top of little towers rather than risk the floor corrupting the
signal that is passing through the cable. They arrive at the conclusion that
this is necessary using logic and listening tests that seem to be similar to
those used by Predrag, Hank, and Paul. That isn't modern science at all. It
is more like Alchemy.

There are people who see the gear in the signal path in a priority scheme:
These things (good mic cables) hardly matter, and these things (microphones)
matter a lot. This is in accordance with modern science.

As he often does, Arny sets up a straw man. I've never suggested that
analog gear can't be uncolored ("straight wire with gain"). Plenty of
it is (e.g. Millennia Media, Benchmark), or close enough.

And plenty of it isn't (e.g. Neve); it has colorations that people
find enjoyable.

Both types of gear exist in the marketplace, for people with different
needs who do different types of recordings.

Now can we can this discussion?

I think most will agree there's lots of analog gear you
can set up to work in straight wire mode.


Many of us would hope that this is true. Those of us who have effectively
tested a goodly number of things have found it to Â*to be generally true.
People like by Predrag, Hank, and Â*Paul seem to disagree. Â*They say that the
only reason why we can possibly believe that lots of analog gear can be set
up to work in straight wire mode is because we lack the necessary skills and
experiences. Â*Of course they want to save our souls by opening our minds to
their world where everything has a characteristic sound.

However, whole point is in setting it NOT to. Than,
compare "straight wire" to "NOT straight wire",
in double blind and let the listener choose what he liked
better.


Personal preferences are just that - personal. Â*If you want to do DBTs to
determine what people's personal preferences are and find out something
meaningful then you usually have to test a lot of people. I'll leave that to
Harman and Nabisco.

Us folks who do audio production only get gigs over and over because we are
able to do a bunch of things that clearly make things sound different, but
do so in such a way that we Â*end up with distributable media containing
music that most people think sounds at least good enough for their purposes.

There are people who think that *everything* in and around the signal path
affects sound quality. Most of them are high end audiophiles. They run their
cables on top of little towers rather than risk the floor corrupting the
signal that is passing through the cable. They arrive at the conclusion that
this is necessary using logic and listening tests that seem to be similar to
those used by Predrag, Hank, and Â*Paul. That isn't modern science at all. It
is more like Alchemy.

There are people who see the gear in the signal path in a priority scheme:
These things (good mic cables) hardly matter, and these things (microphones)
matter a lot. Â*This is in accordance with modern science.


You talk bull**** about people Arnie. I've never read anybody, you
mention above,
ever wrote what you claim.
What people are saying, basicly goes down to - devices with same specs
can
sound different. That because 2 noisefloor's, measured to be of same
level may
have, say, different freq content, similar for harmonic distortion, so
gear can sound
different. Things like that.
However, nobody can define what's your point, or goal, except
selfpromotion.

Here we have Predrag saying that *all* analog summers and that all analog
consoles color the sound:

"Analog summers, including analog consoles, all offer different packages of
subtle distortions, hence the differences in
sound."

Which is correct thing to say. Meaning of that sentence is: If devices
produce
different artefacts (for example distortion, verified by residuee of
nulling test),
those artefacts (at least some) may produce audiable difference in
sound.
That's all. He did not claim all the differences are (clearly)
audiable.
Of course, you are not stupid, you understand it very well without my
explanation, you just seam to be of certain charachter, personality,
whatever.
Ther's propably a nice scientific term for it.

Your statement contains the word "may" which completely changes the meaning.

He did not claim all the differences are (clearly) audiable.


Sure he did and he has been doing this over and over in the past months and
years. He claimed that they sounded different, IOW the differences are
audible. This is consistent with many other posts that he has made.

Luxey, you had to change what he said to come up with an acceptable
statement, even if you don't know English well enough to know what you did.

I think my English is good enough to understand what he said.
Try to get it this way: technicaly, they all produce different sound,
but the difference is not always audiable. Is it even possible
for one same anolog device to spit out two identical signals?
Especialy
if ran on the edge of specs? Propably not. So, it will always be
different
sound. Only you won't always hear the difference. Sooner you accept
it
sooner you'll get some friends. Not me however. I finished with you
years ago, when you advocated use of nuclear weapons, intervention in
Iraq and such crap. So, sooner you get out of this group, sooner I'll
be
happy. No more posts from me in this thread.

Precisely the type of remark that demonstrates how full of **** you

This is not what I said then, by using the term "offer", but I'll say it
now: the differences are always audible, under real-world conditions. That
means using analog summing devices for their intended purpose - to mix a
number of individual tracks of recorded musical performance, aiming to
achieve a sonically pleasing result.

If you can't hear it, which doesn't mean it's not there, just push the
levels a bit, until it starts singing. If you can't hear the difference and
don't want to play with the levels in order to find out what sounds the
best, why bother with analog mixing in the first place?

I've been saying that for years and you have been unable to prove that it's
wrong, despite all that prostitution of "science".

Even people who share your preference for digital summing, like Frank
Stearns and Peter Larsen, supported it by describing audible differences
with respect to their experience with analog summing.

You have set up a field full of straw men, dragged into the mud and
embarrassed your children, your church, your colleagues, your educational
system, your country - whatever you could think of, but still have not come
up with any evidence whatsoever to back your claim.

You have had plenty of time and resources to practice what you preach - to
carry out any tests or measurements in order to prove the existence of the
placebo effect in case of at least one of the analog summing boxes on the
market. You haven't even tried.

Instead you've been bragging for over three weeks now about your various
"achievements" including the ability to look at a waveform and describe what
it sounds like as well as to find and follow the melody. Well, later you
denied saying that, but it's documented and open for everyone to judge for
themselves.

You also at one point tried to appeal for sympathy, claiming that you were
being persecuted for your religious beliefs, but the next day you returned
to bragging about the religious freedom in your country.

Not to mention what you said early in this thread: "That is all I need to do
to my precious tracks-convert them to analog, put them through a box that by
definition must further degrade them at least in a technical sense, and then
convert them back to digital again". If it comes from your mouth it's true
"by definition", but if someone else says so it's "self-delusion".

Even without going into really nasty things you've said to far too many
people, it is now obvious that you've spent over three weeks trying to pull
your foot out of your mouth and have only succeeded in dispelling the few
remaining doubts related to your personal integrity and professional
competence.

Funny you should say that, given how much comprehension of English eludes
you.

Anyway, why don't you simply switch to his mother tongue? With your
Education it shouldn't be a problem.

If you want to split hairs, no analog device produces the same signal twice
from the same signal. Analog noise always has random components and random
means never the same thing twice.

Especialy if ran on the edge of specs? Propably not.


An unecessary complication.

So, it will always be different sound. Only you won't always hear the
difference.


Predrag says otherwise, Luxey.
