May Q&A session

Currently I am using a MacMini to route VCV Rack to 3 external Synths and mostly max 1-3 of the internal Oscillators which works "okay" with almost no glitches/crackles due to an external Audio Interface (Allen & Heath Xone: 43C). But when I start recording with the VCV Recorder module the Audio Output starts interrupting. It get's worse when also the Video recording is activated. Is there any workaround, maybe with the recording settings. Could you explain a bit about the given Video Codecs? Thanks so much. Have a lovely one. Much love, Douglas

Hey Omri! I have a question about using/not using AUX sends and returns in the MindMeld mixer. Until recently I have mostly used the AUX send/returns for things like reverb. With this you get the same reverb settings for all channels and you dial in the amount you want with the AUXSPANDER for each channel. I am finding I like to use different reverb/effects settings for each voice and have been using multiple Plateaus/Blobs instead. I guess this uses more CPU, but besides this, is there any advantage to using the mixer sends/returns instead of multiple of the same reverb or other effects modules on individual channels? Is there any sound differences of controlling the wet/dry mix of an effect module directly vs the amount with the AUX Send/Return? Thanks as always for your insights.

Hi Omri! What's your process to go from a patch to an album track ? I'm trying to gather my favorite patches created in VCV and make an album out of them but I find it hard to clean them up and "finish" them.

Similar to Tom's question, I'd be interested in recording tips when capturing performance audio and video, such as TouchDesigner projects. Pull audio into TD, or capture each separately and then combine (and fix any time drift).

Could you lend some insight as to how you prepare for creating recorded content? Do you write scripts, take lots of takes, etc...? I'm always impressed with how concise and meaningful your videos are!

Hi! How reliable are the Eurorack modules? Can they last 5 or 10 years or more?

Hi! I have questions about Eurorack audio output and safety: What is the simplest and/or cheapest way to hear the output of an Eurorack system? Let say I have only Maths in my case, and I also have a sound card (Focusrite Scarlett). Because of the modular levels, I know I must lower as much as possible the attuator before connecting headphones to the Maths output (risk of ear damage and headphones/speakers damage). Having an extra mixer/VCA is always handy. To hear Maths ouput, I think I can: - hear it directly? (with minimum level) - connect Maths output to the Scarlett, and set the gain of the sound card at the minimum? - buy an audio module dedicated (ALM - HPO, or Erica Synths - Black Output Module) ? - buy an USB audio interface module (ES-9 for example)? What are the pros and cons, please? Does sound cards have limiters in general? If I do feedback loop for example, is there a risk of damaging the sound card for example?
