I love the fact that you keep on learning when you do audio. I currently have a few devices which have unstable outputs. I have connected them to my sub mixer which does the conversion to stable on its Master outputs TRS which go to the main mixing console.

Because of reasons that I'm still tracing down the sub mixer cannot cut the hum that comes from the unstable connections enough so that it goes down real far within the noise plane. Just for fun I powered off the sub mixer pushed up the volume of my headphone amp was not surprised that I was still hearing that hum. One by one I pulled out the connectors of my unstable audio devices
/2
#Music #Audio #Bass #Guitar #SoundEngineering #Joyo #Pedal #Console
Only when the final device was pulled off the hum disappeared. Mind you that the sub mixer is powered off so no noise should come through. Then I remembered that the negative (sleeve) side of the devices was of course still connected with the main mixing console. When the devices are connected On a passive or active direct box the hum is pushed down by The Transformers to level which is acceptable, somewhere at minus 68dB
/3
#Music #Audio #Bass #Guitar #SoundEngineering #Joyo #Pedal #Console
¡The lesson learned is that the noise is still carried through the sleeve pole of the devices, **through** the powered off sub mixer, all the way up to the main mixing console!
I have a replacement coming in, of the important recording audio device, which comes with proper 1/4" connections. All the unstable devices have RCA outputs.
I love how physics works, especially when it challenges my logic thought
/4
#Music #Audio #Bass #Guitar #SoundEngineering #Joyo #Pedal #Console
I should also mention that the unstable output devices are connected with the sub mixer through RCA to 1/4" cables, with No stable matching Transformers in between. The cables are 3 meters in length.
When I want to record from the main audio device, I take a passive or active direct box with the active direct box padded to -20dB.
/5
#Music #Audio #Bass #Guitar #SoundEngineering #Joyo #Pedal #Console
However I am tired of constantly switching between the sub mixer which is very handy, for all my instruments and a direct connection to the main console which costs me two XLR connectors, and literally two mics less to connect
The cables are of 3m in length which is within the parameters of an instrument cable that should be no more than 6 - 9 meters. This means the cables are not picking up any noise from the environment

There are hundreds of ways of connecting an effect to your mixing console. There is one way to connect an effect to my sub mixer
When you use the Auxiliary busses you have to send the signal through a tip/sleeve cable to the effect, then return the signal to the console Aux return Channel. For a stereo effect you need to use two Aux busses.
Your console has send Pot. meters and return Pot. meters for every bus.
/7
#Music #Audio #Bass #Guitar #SoundEngineering #Joyo #Pedal #Console
Just like with built in effects your Send is decided by Aux Send your Return is decided by Aux Return which gives The amount of decibels dB of the effect in the mix
If your console only has two Aux busses you can either use both for the stereo effect, or use one for two discrete effects if you do not wish to daisy chain them. You will then have two parallel effects which can be used layered on your whole mix.
/8
#Music #Audio #Bass #Guitar #SoundEngineering #Joyo #Pedal #Console
In case you've used your monitor outputs on your console for a headphone Amp & you need one Aux bus to send a signal to a separate monitor on the ground, you will only be able to use mono effects in your mix using Aux bus two. I would advise you to use the headphone output from your sub mixer to feed your headphone amp.
You may also connect your effect using an insert cable so that it works dedicated only on one channel
/9
#Music #Audio #Bass #Guitar #SoundEngineering #Joyo #Pedal #Console
The insert cable uses the tip as the Aux Send and the ring as the Aux Return
As you can see the possibilities are quite vast since it is very very easy to connect your beautiful effects from your Effect Rack to your console.

I've got this wonderful article here which explains it to the letter
Wiring inserts
Console insert end get's wired like this...
TRS:
Tip=send positive
Ring=return positive
Sleeve=neutral ground
https://recording.org/forum-topic/recording-live-or-studio/wiring-inserts-tip-send-ring-return
/11a
#Music #Audio #Bass #Guitar #SoundEngineering #Joyo #Pedal #Console
Dynamic unit end get's wired like this
Input:
XLR/TRS
Pin 2/Tip=input positive and is connected to tip of insert TRS
Pin 1/Ring=input low and is connected to sleeve of insert TRS
Pin 3/Sleeve=input ground and is connected to sleeve of instert TRS
/11b
#Music #Audio #Bass #Guitar #SoundEngineering #Joyo #Pedal #Console
Output
XLR/TRS
Pin 2/Tip=output positive and is connected to ring of insert TRS
Pin 1/Ring=output low and is connected to sleeve of insert TRS
Pin 3/Sleeve=output ground and is connected to sleeve of insert TRS
Pin 3/Sleeve should be soldered to Pin1/ring on both input and output of dynamics unit
IE Pin 3/Sleeve on input is soldered to Pin1/ring on input and Pin 3/Sleeve on output is soldered to Pin 1/ring on output: shorting to ground
/11c
#Music #Audio #Bass #SoundEngineering #Pedal #Console
So if the dynamics has XLR input/outputs you'll wind up with a cable like this
TRS on one end and one male, one female XLR on the other end
Tip of TRS connects to pin 2 of male
Ring of TRS connects to pin 2 of female
Sleeve of TRS connects to pin 1 of male and female
Pin 3 of male and female get soldered to their respective pin 1's.

I discovered a interesting function on an effect of mine. The function auto ducks the frequencies where our voices reside so you can easily sing over regular songs.
I shall explore this Sub function further, but I know this already from other effects. This sub function is only briefly mentioned within the manual
/12
#Music #Audio #Bass #Guitar #SoundEngineering #Joyo #Pedal #Console
The vocal auto ducking function only works when a dual channel signal is fed into the effect.
I had put a mono signal into the effect and it of course failed.

Now I have about two hundred(!) yes TWO HUNDRED more effects in my arsenal! So for my Bass Guitars & other instruments I now have ALL effects that I need extra, which I dont need as seperate discrete components. How? Go look up FX2000 and Behringer than come back here and tell me ;)
Here I can only do 500 bytes (why not 512?) so I post about that at bsd.cafe

Musicians should always check out which effect equipment is available in rack mount format.
This is especially important for Bass and Guitar 🎸 players
They should just ask engineers who will gladly provide the information. It is astounding to see how many pedal FX are sold for more than 300 USD, which are just two daisy chained FX easily achieved with rack mount FX units which have more than 100 different effects in total!
/16
Now certain FX are handy to have in a separate unit, because I want to build my effect chain physically and they just sound different, in a nicer way, when you have them physical, as an analog effect unit
For those I gladly pay the 60 to 120 dollars for effect pedals, which are built like a tank, as portrait by the Joyo FX
/17
Be very wary of Boutique FX when you are not a professional player, nor want to become a professional instrument player, because Boutique effects are Boutique
That means they are often just built in a series of 48 or less
That also means that you will pay between $400 and $1000 per unit, which Joyo can produce for you and sell for 60 to 100 USD, often surpassing the boutique unit simply because Joyo put in extra electronics!
/18
Extra electronics to make sure that the effect sounds not just like the original, but even better.
Boutique effects do not have to be built like a tank
Joyo effect are always built like a tank.
Many Boutique Effects also lack certain critical features because the Professional player targeted has those on other FX units, which you don't possess

Do you want to guess which instrument I was playing with?
The photograph is a hint. The musical style is metal. I have thoroughly enjoyed playing with my Short Scale Bass
#Music #Audio #Bass #ShortScale #Guitar #SoundEngineering #Joyo #Pedal
In this photograph you can clearly see the limitations of a very small image sensor in relationship to a highly Dynamic scene.
My Nikon bodies and my Sony body which also takes my Minolta Lenses, here 50mm f1.2, have much larger sensors and would have never failed in such a horrible manner.
In this scene I portray how good the lighting arrangement is on the Behringer rack mount effect

Preparing another Bass session. This Time with two overdrives a tube distorter and an octaver
#Music #Audio #Bass #ShortScale #Guitar #SoundEngineering #Joyo #Pedal
The session was extremely short and basically, I did some fine-tuning of certain critical parts of the Short Scale base.
After verifying that the fine tuning was done properly, I'll run the Bass session later this night

Has it been this long? I should have written down what I've done in between with my Bass Journey. I made contact with few people playing the styles that I like, in a musical jamming environment. These musicians are seasoned have been playing for 50 plus years and know their instruments. I've interacted with a Tenor Saxophone 🎷 player a trumpet player, and a bass player
