DigiCheck NG 0.93 beta 5 – public preview Mac / Windows (Page 2 of 2)

Hello, Spectroscope is indeed a very useful tool, and I am glad to see it added to Digicheck. At present, I hope it can be arranged in a window like in the picture (using only a 4-in-1 window), and support adjusting the frequency scale. I usually judge whether an audio file is "lossless" by observing the attenuation of high frequencies, so 10kHz~20kHz (even higher than 20kHz) is the range I focus on, which is very important and commonly used in mixing work.

It's brilliant MC!!

Thanks for 0.93. I am running RME UFX+ on MacOS Ventura. In Digicheck NG I am unable to select "Add playback channels" in Audio device setup. When I activate loopback on Hardware output AN1/2  in Totalmix it works fine. I am using the latest thunderbolt driver.

How did you manage to divide the interface in 3 horizontal parts?  I can only see two

hello,
i am loving digicheck NG immensely using it everyday here. thank you so much for making it so useful and fantastic!
i have a couple of feature requests.
1. i would like the oscilloscope to be able to change the width of the scope, or the width adjusted to the window size. now the ratio of hight and width are maintained and i would like to make the width longer. also to allow vert. positions in floating point so that i can separate stereo vertically and use up maximum space.
2. it would be great if digicheck automatically checks which RME device is connected and change the device accordingly. i always have to manually change the device in audio device setup between home and studio. i know it is only one step change haha. but if that's possible, the transition of physical spaces/devices are super smooth.
thanks!

Hello BobKatz
For screenshot you have to upload it to the internet with a public image service like imgbb or imgur.

Are you the K-14 inventor ? Cool.

We looked at this. Even with K-System off and Intersample Peak (TP) on, the +3dB overage headroom is visible only when Reference Level is between -9 and -0 dB, and disappears at lower reference levels (like -12, -14, or -20 dB as in K-System).

I'd like to do a feature request (or two).
For the two AOX-D interfaces I have I'd like to use them seperately for the 'global overview' for all 256 input channels of each interface. It's really helpfull to see all the IO inputs to track down routing or bad connection issues.

As far as I remember Bob, the betas all came out BEFORE the official 0.93, so I think you already have the latest version, plain old 0.93.

Thanks. That of course explains my puzzle. So, hoping that MC can address my two concerns.

I'd like to do a feature request  for the Spectrum Analyzer.

It would be very useful to have the option to visually focus on a selectable frequency range. For example, the user could define lower and upper boundary frequencies, such as 200 Hz and 4 kHz, and everything outside that range would be slightly faded or dimmed visually.

The analyzer itself would still work normally, but the area outside the selected range would be visually de-emphasized, making it easier to concentrate on the important frequencies in the middle.

Hi there,

The official download page for DigiCheck NG with VU meters links to `digicheck_ng_mac_093.zip`.

Is this the official release version that incorporates the features from the previously discussed and publicly released 0.92 beta, including the VU meter functionality?

Thank you very much. I have been using this great feature since the beta stage.

I have one question specifically about the VU meter. When mixing, I might set the reference level (headroom) to, for example, -18 dBVU and work at that level throughout the mix. Then, when I move on to mastering the final 2-mix, I may want to change the reference level to -9 dBVU. This means I have to manually change the VU reference level.

Is there a simpler or more convenient way to set this up, for example, so that I can easily switch between these two reference levels?

Or you may try to create and save two different workspaces with settings needed. Say Mixing, Mastering and many more. I have not tried, but I guess, it should work as you need.

Just try and you will see, if it works as I anticipate.

For sure, there is keyboard shortcut for Quick Select (W) on Win, I am not sure, whether there is QS on Mac at all.

And maybe even works direct shortcut Alt+1 and so on... But I have not made it work. But I have not succeded even in TotalMix where it works for sure... So, I evidently do something wrongly. Which means, that I have not prooved suffitiently Alt+1, etc. does not apply to DigiCheck.

Maybe Ramses knows better. I do not use workspaces.
-------------------------

But back to OP. I guess, he does not need swift switching  there and back, in his use case. Just more comfortable switching.

Your suggestion is also good. Just, DC has only 4 instrument, so all would be used by meters, which is OK, if one does not need also others, but otherwise... OK one could open more DC windows...

That's fantastic. I never even imagined that it would be possible to open multiple instances of the display and assign a different monitor source to each one. That solves one problem!

And then there is one thing remaining. This may actually be a very basic question, so I feel a little embarrassed to ask, but I assume that the stereo out from a DAW is generally sent to the Software Playback section in TotalMix. What would be the best way to assign one of those Software Playback sources — the middle row in TotalMix — as the monitor source in DigiCheck?

I finally understand it now. Thank you!

It would be even easier to understand if the names in the Playback section were automatically linked to and changed according to the names in TotalMix, wouldn't it?

Best,

Would be nice, but TM probably would have to send names to driver and DC would have to get it from driver. And that would have to be fairly well synchronized.

And what if a user uses duplicit names? It does not matter in TM, but might in DC.... But still, probably doable. Maybe.... Remember that there are severe obstacles to use user labels uniformly/everyplace in TM. So....
