Best AGC Safety speed setting for H120

<< < (2/2)

Llorean:
That seems pretty improbable. While the CPU may be fast enough, the real problem is that it's nearly impossible to identify sound types that should universally be ignored. The feature would be special case, and would require several profiles, one per "environment" such as recording different types of music, or a voice performance of some sort, or other things. Also, frankly, I'm somewhat against the idea of attempting to bloat the core recording code with features that are generally designed specifically for "stealth" recording, which seems shady at the least for a project that generally likes to make clear how much we respect licenses.

I've had success with guessing levels, then letting the AGC Safety bump them down as needed. I've been using the fastest setting of 200ms. However, I've had some occasions where the mic input got moved, causing a spike which dramatically lowered gain. I have not experimented with other Safety settings. I'd like to find one that would prevent clipping, but not overly lower gain if I get a spike from jostling the cable. What works best for those of you who do rock concert recordings?

Thanks in advance!

I'd like to respond to the part about the cables being moved introducing noise......  Typically that is because a connection that has power (plug in mic power in this case) is dirty.  The usual culprit is oil from your fingers on the jack before you plug it in.  

To clean this use 92% iso alcohol (more pure is better - no 70%) and a gum/dental brush, it will look like a very small artifical christmas tree.....  Alcohol should not be allowed to run into player, so brush pointing up and player jack pointing down when cleaning the jacks......   Plugs should be cleaned and then touched on the metal parts as little as possible.  You should not get any static when fooling with clean cables and jacks.

If this isn't your noise source, sorry for taking your time!
