Master db. boost and reduction Option in prefrences
Posted: 31 Jan 2017, 16:49
It may be a nice touch for some, but still overall a valuable option to have in the background if needed, as in this case I now find in relation to the Denon MCX8000,the evidence points that a db. boost and reduction setting could be warranted for some audio devices.
Adding a Db Gain and reduction selection in Preferences options
going up too +8db. from -8db should cover all scenarios, this option will give room to have the gain much more centred in relation to the general average of the channel (deck) LED peak and especially I find in the case of myself as a denon MCX8000 user.
Reasons for suggestion being:
In all my DJ experience where possible best too have the gain set at about half way (12 o'clock position) for a average mastered track maybe a little more for my personal preference, so the head room for mixing drawing frequency elements out from the EQ back up and out in a mix, also many technical DJs use the gain frequently and consistently every single song in one way or another many times each song mix, depending on what they wish to achieve while mixing and the technique on all the faders).
Example:
In the case of us Denon MCX8000 Gain is at say 7 too 9 o'clock position on average at the same time our Channel LED are way up really high' meaning if we where to turn the gain up by a few marks it would most probably be banging into the red. So we just don't have any headroom for utilising the gain for all the purposes I already mentioned above, and this is a major disadvantage for me personally and overall we need this logic to be a perfect DJ if we want that smoothness and level balence in our mixing.
Here is how I Personally like to work:
a) deck LED Peak from 1 too 2 yellow on average maybe 3 [/b] on the Denon MCX.
b) 1-3 LED marker range that I personally keep within for the main parts of a song.
c) Gain at the 12 o'clock too 2 o'clock position to start off with in relation to my Deck LED.
D) Master never more than 3db over although preferable 00db only in the green or one deck LED over,
Obviously all these things are subject to the devices/audio/software we use and meter indications chosen by these, not forgetting how the music we use has been mastered.
Just one other note regarding implement of this request :
I personally think it would be better to have settings in increments of 1db instead of jumping In say 3db. increments like one or two of our DJ software contenders.
And I personally don't think their is any need to have this function on the GUI only in preference settings, as this function would only be needed as a pre setting for individual taste or for certain controller audio drivers.
Thanks for considerations.
