I think it's a really cool trick! May not be practical depending on your setup but still! Just as a side note for those who are knowledgeable in signals, would you be able to explain this phenomenon from an engineering point of view with mathematical proof if possible? It'd be really cool to understand what's actually happening during the process Looks to be using a trick on on the latency. You know that the hardware/software round-trip latency will be roughly similar from take to take, and will always result in a lagging return signal compared to the source.. So when you reverse the signal and run it, it will lag the return signal in the deterministic amount except it will be applied to the signal backwards in relative time, so when you flip it, it's now nudged *forward* by the same amount of latency that it would have originally lagged.. So now your signal has effectively nullified the round-trip latency. I guess to explain it would be to say that the guy's signal might have a combined 10ms round-trip through the software(5ms) and hardware(5ms) resulting in a track that is 10ms behind the source track. You flip the source track, which plays backwards with a 5ms lag, through the hardware that also has a 5ms lag.. When the track is flipped, we subtract the 5ms software lag and now it's aligned to the source track. The easiest way to do this would be to do a track with your analog processing, and then simply grab the new track and align it with the old track. Set a marker at some kind of peak in your original file and then find the same peak in the processed track and just pull it until they both line up. Now they are in-phase and time-aligned and no need for all this other stuff. You could just nudge the track by small amounts until you get phase alignment and from that point on you know roughly the round-trip time and can account for it.. Reaper (the daw the guy is using) also has a hardware "ping" option that can find the round-trip latency and null it as well. There's a dozen ways to skin this cat and the way this guy is doing it is a fun and interesting way around the problem, but it's also pretty time consuming compared to other ways of doing the same thing. Thanks for taking your time to answer my question, Svart! I guess your explanation makes sense in the context of 'blending' but for me what was interesting about this video is how you can remove phase shifts from your analogue EQ. What I wish to know more about is how time reversal of a signal resulted in the flip of a phase shift which resulted in the cancellation of phase shifts. I can vaguely remember going over this topic in continuous time signals back in Uni but can't remember the exact details!

arxiv.org/pdf/1812.04204.pdfRead the original paper and it will answer most of your questions (or contact the author. They will be more than willing to tell you about their project. At least that was my experience when I was working on my project based on www.ofai.at/~jan.schlueter/pubs/2017_eusipco.pdf). I really liked their idea of using video frames to provide visual spatial information. I wonder how they have implemented that feature in their code (pity they didn't make their code open to public..). p.s. Don't trash talk someone else's work if you don't know what you're talking about. Hi there, I'm not sure if you're referencing my comment or not, but if so, I apologize if I came off as trashing someone's work. That wasn't my intention at all. I *do* think there are many outstanding questions re: AI that are not being discussed openly, and that too much AI research is happening without any public oversight. From my admittedly limited vantage point, it appears the governing question in AI research is "can we do this?" rather than " should we do this?" I find that terribly troubling. Also, re: the two publications you referenced: The first link goes to a paper where one of the lead authors is a Facebook employee. This does nothing to assuage my concerns in any way, but rather amplifies them exponentially. The second link appears to be broken: it goes to a 404. Again, not trying to trash anyone's work, just conversing. Cheers. Hi Mark, No, my comment wasn't aimed at you don't worry. I share some of your concerns about the current trend and speed at which AI research projects are being carried out and the lack of control over them but this is the dilemma we have to deal with every time we come across a technology that has the potential to completely transform the way we live (e.g. CRISPR). Anyways, the author wrote the paper while he was working as an intern at Facebook AI. As for the broken link try www.eurasip.org/Proceedings/Eusipco/Eusipco2017/papers/1570347092.pdf or google 'Two Convolutional Neural Networks for Bird Detection in Audio Signals'. Happy new year!

This is purely a suggestion on my part, but I would gently posit that if you have to sell both of your lungs, it's unlikely to be worth it. (sorry, couldn't resist...)

I'm starting to see an increasing number of MEs in Europe ditching their existing vari-mu type comp for these... Does anyone have experience with one of these babies? I'd love to try them out but I'll have to sell both of my lungs to get a pair of these.. (€7500 per unit and yes, it is a single channel compressor).

BTW where is the best place to buy the sonarworks + mic package if you are living outside of US?

grab a mic that has a relatively flat frequency response. Not ideal but it does work and gives you an idea of what the software is capable of. I did my measurement with the line audio cm3 and it worked like a charm.

Been using it since day 1 of its launch. Borderline rubbish software but it is a great converter.

www.audiovero.de/en/acourate.phpI have heard that this does essentially everything Trinnov does and some more. The only downside is that it's a PITA to use and inherent latency.

I remember reading comments of some people who were praising the quality of the sound they got out from the 1073lb + la2a combo. Hmm..
Anyways, after years of buying and trying out clones and 'inspired by' units, I came to a conclusion that how much the product sounds like a real thing or its name value doesn't really matter that much or at least its importance is minuscule in comparison to other factors like the design/quality of the unit, its actual performance, and most importantly, customer support.

Couple of things to note..
1. 'upgraded' DSP is not an actual 'upgrade'. Still the same old sharc but 6 of them instead of 4. 2. runs 'only' on TB3. No USB connection. Yup, that's right. No USB.

A well respected mastering engineer (whom I won't name but I'm willing to bet you have heard of his name) just gave his thoughts on the new HEDD Q.
Basically he wasn't able to hear any meaningful difference between his prism lyra2 and the new HEDD.
Subtle differences here and there but they are close to the point where he will have a hard time passing a blind test.

99.9% certain price will sky-rocket before the closing of the auction. There's no way dealers won't capitalize on something like this.

drum sounds perfectly fine for a given context. There is no 'the one and only drum sound' that fits every genre.

1. No, I don't play guitar. 2. I stay away from any analog gear that uses proprietary IC for the same reason. 3. I'm talking about analog gears not digital. Analog, digital, what does it matter? And there's plenty of analog gear that uses solid state parts that are unobtanium. The fact is that tube audio gear is immanently more serviceable than either analog or digital solid state gear, especially any tube gear made within the last 15 or 20 years, which the Blackbird is. Your paranoia is unfounded. 1. It does matter. They are inherently different and I wasn't even talking about digital gears. Like I said, I stay away from any design that uses proprietary or discontinued parts. 2. Tubes are difficult to match without proper measuring tools which cost a fortune and require specific knowledge to use properly. 3. Depends on the design. Besides, tube gears produce an insane amount of heat which can cause failure of other nearby components. 4. Your ignorance is unfounded.

Well.. based on my past experience I tend to stay away from anything that has a kazillion tubes inside it and out of production. Your loss. I guess (if you're a guitar player) you stay away from all those vintage Fender and Marshall amps too, huh? Myself, I'd much rather have something with a bunch of (easily replaceable) tubes in it than some digital crap that's full of proprietary ICs that aren't available for love or money and is likely to have a lifespan of 10 years if you're lucky. <headpalm> 1.

who knows, it just came out. IMO no compressor is worth $8k but then.. I have an unquenchable thirst for things like this and I don't blow my money out on cars or watches and most importantly I'm not married so.. Not true. The Tube Equipment Corp SR-71 Blackbird compressor definitely is - it's the most phenomenal compressor I've ever been unable to hear in my life. It's essentially a Fairchild 670 clone with some very carefully thought out mods to take advantage of advances in the technology that didn't exist when the original was in production. I got to audition one at AES some years back and it was just unbelievable how good it is. You can't hear it - even when it's applying really significant compression the audio still sounds untouched. I'd pay $8k in a hot minute for one if I had the scratch. reverb.com/item/3216121-tube-equipment-corporation-sr71-tube-compressor-limiterWell.. based on my past experience I tend to stay away from anything that has a kazillion tubes inside it and out of production.

The Magic Death Eye comp is $8500 and I must have it........ For working with program 2 or 3 really spendy devices is not abnormal... magicdeatheye.com wow.. their stereo channel compressor looks amazing. I wonder how they sound.
