hello! I have a little problem with my comp.. I know that alot of cheap comps. can color the sound with some cind of effect, that sounds a littlebit like a chorus or flanger etc , now to my question can I equalize the sound so the effectsound stops bugging me so I just get the compression??? in my case I use a berhinger modulizer pro.....

 

 

 

regards

The sound should have nothing to do with your (cheap) computer - perhaps you have some weird setting activated, that adds chorus to the sound?

 

My best guess is, though, that you've accidently set your external equipment up in such a way, that you get feedback from somewhere, that would definetly result in a chorusing/flanging sound.

 

OR maybe your speakers are mounted in counter-phase...? That happens, when you connect the two cables for your speakers differently for the two speakers:

 

Left output: ------------------Speaker

------------------'

 

Right output:---------,,---------Speaker - or vice versa

----------''--------'

 

- Not very descriptive, but the wires are crossed to the right speaker. This will give you an uncool phasing effect.

 

Hope this helps - if it really is your soundcard, try some different drivers, or even installing the same drivers again, so the "chorus everything" setting will not be active. I know that quite a few Creative cards have software, that "encourages" these mistakes :)

 

Happy troubleshooting!

Hello andreas! I think you got me wrong with comp - I mean my (compressor) it`s a berhingermulti fx that with among other things have a compressor.

and I am pretty shure that all my cabels are correctly connected.

 

but the thing I tried to explain above was that some compressors can generate some strange sound that sounds like an effect, if they are cheap like the modulizer I use..

Ooooh, okay :) - and since my pretty little drawing is comPLETEly messed up, I've been no help at all :)

 

Well, dunno about that, then - except to generally stay away from Behringer equipment (a little late for that, though, sorry...)

have you checked the dry/wet signal mix ratio ? (should be att 100%)

 

If your feeding the compressed version of a signal,

on to the same digital channel as the original one (but slightly delayd),

you will get chourus/flanger becouse of the "latency" in the effectprocessing.

With some cheaper type fx units this is more noticeble.
