jumps when playing sound
Posted: Mon Dec 19, 2011 11:32 am
Hello,
First, I want to say that I'm using MsPinky for several years, it works really good for me, and I love the possibility to modify the maxi-patch in max. Thanks for all this big work.
Recently, I begin a new theater project with jazz musicians. Everything worked good ( in rehearsal) but one problem appear during the first performance:
Some jumps occurred to a rhythmic loop (file duration : 5-10 second), and a another one later. It was just 3 little jumps but they were dramatic for the musicians who were playing with, and also for the audience.
I thought about sub bass, and the other musicians who played louder than for the rehearsals. The sound engineer install 2 thin camping-matress (each about 6mm) under the turntables; and I've also replaced my cartridges, and use a set of new Ms vinyls. I try put also the low-cut active on the phono preamp.
We played 4 times in this hall, and it happened again: 1 times during the 2nd and 3rd, and 2 times during the 4th.
I think the cartridge maybe picked up sound parasites. I observe for example how the trumpet move position of the playbar when the vinyl is stopped. Then we try some hard situations with trumpet playing near the cartridge, and it alters the precision but don't make brutal jumps when vinyl is playing. We also tried 5 minutes with sub frequency on high level but it didn't happen for this short period.
We play next time at the beginning of january, and for the moment I'm not relaxed about this point. When I test it at home, everything is ok.
Did you see some similar problems with this rare random jumps? Is there better cartridges to use or other advice, adjustment on vinyl control (file re-cue?)?
thanks for the help.
