  1. How are the sounds in this software? Is there a selection of pianos (i.e upright, grand and different sounding recordings) to choose from? Thank you.
  2. Looking for some software to use my midi keyboard with, I have a fatar sl 880, and would like to use it to practice piano and need some software. The keyboard is hammer action but only has 4 zones for sensitivity so the engine doesn't have to be incredibly complex, I'd ideally like free software or trial software that would allow me to use the keyboard with software that produces good sound, I currently have cakewalk installed however I find the software to be somewhat frustrating and currently only works on my laptop, and not on my desktop system running the same windows 11 as my laptop, specs of my laptop is a Ryzen 5300u and 8gb of ddr4 @ 3200mhz and an SSD so software that runs on that would be great.
  3. None of the rooms in the house have carpet, all exposed floorboards or tiles, there's a rug in my living room, I don't have a mattress but I'll experiment with some fabrics I've got around thank you.
  4. My room has quite tall ceilings, most of the walls are solid and exposed floorboards, 3 large windows, there's a largo sofa facing the speakers, a large stool/seat we use as a little table and big cast iron radiators, he was on a barge, big puffy chair, speakers were no more than 2 feet from the sofa and tiny windows with more wood on the walls, ceiling and floor.
  5. He was using a wiim mini connected to a relatively old looking arcam amp, with playback through Spotify. His tone was much warmer whereas mine is quite sharp and clinical and the instruments aren't as easily heard, for example in echoes the drums were more muffled and Lana del Rey's voice often distorts when she sings in the higher notes but not of this was an issue on his setup, he was as I said using Spotify, I'm using YouTube music so I've got a trial to tidal hifi. As for my speakers I've just connected red to red, and I'm using 2 sets, diamond 6r and the Bose', diamonds do a great job of giving clear voices and lighter instruments but the Bose give good base and depth, but the clarity at those lower sounds isn't there. Sorry I tend to waffle but your suggesting the dac in my laptop and phone are likely decent to give good playback? I don't have a spare amp or receiver but I may consider a second one for my turntable anyway, assuming that my current receiver is fine (many hours of digging I was able to convert some prices and find specs, it costs around £1500 today and has what appears to be quite good tolerances) could it just be it simply produces a tone I don't like as much?
  6. It doesn't produce the same sound I was able to produce with the other person's setup, it never bothered me and I'm not looking for the absolute best but I did much prefer the sound I heard through his, but thank you for your response
  7. Hi all, currently looking at purchasing a dac, I've got a relatively basic receiver I picked up for £40 used, basic by modern standards at least. Some questions I have is about audio quality and DACs, I recently purchased some Bose 4000xls which sounded much better on the gentlemens setup than mine and I'm now wondering if I purchased a dac that's adequate would the quality of the audio improve? Does the receiver have a dac that needs to be disabled or is it relying on things like my phone, or laptops DAC. Looking for cd quality or around that area I'm not too fussed, but a good midpoint is something I'd desire. The receiver in question is a jvc rx330vl but I can't find much information on it. Does the receiver impact sound quality? As far as I understand its amplifying what it's being given which isn't too difficult. Thanks
  8. Thanks for the information, I'm looking at a pay monthly 5g router from three atm, also concerned about latency since most 5g areas only seem to support 4g upload speeds, but again thanks
  9. I want a permanent solution for all my devices, not something that will eventually get annoying to set up, where my pc currently sits is close to the rock face (house is between cliffs) so my reception is worse there too, it's a difficult problem I have but I have been doing that for a while, the connection is somewhat unreliable
  10. What's the limiting factor for performance, the hardware or software, and which area of hardware is so, antennas? Or the pc?
  11. Unfortunately due to my location, my only internet options currently sit at overpriced non fibre, starlink or I pay a provider upwards of £1000 plus a minimum of 3 other neighbors opting in to get fibre installed. Non of which I would like to go ahead, 5g in my location is actually very good however, I've noticed 5g LTE routers, or decent ones cost excessive amounts. Could I build a spare system that acts purely as a router which I hook up to antennas both to receive and send the 5g signals it receives? Such as a pcie card that takes a sim and a switch? Networking is not my forte so any help would be appreciated, I have parts for a basic system but it's only purpose is to use little power and act as a router, as cheap as possible is the aim
  12. I'm looking for a new monitor, not really too educated on monitors but my preferences are below 1080p 120/144hz Good colour accuracy Struggling to find one but an oled panel or something with great blacks, and HDR. Im not looking exclusively for new panels, used is fine and I know oled isn't common at that price point but my main focus is a great looking 1080p panel, all the current panels I find seem to be focused entirely on eSports, response time and refresh rate. I don't mind TVs either but 1080p is long gone in that space and only seems to be horrific panels at my price point and resolution. And help would be appreciated.
  13. Me and my brother want to play the crew 2 together but we don't have two identical consoles, is it possible to emulate the crew 2 on my PC and still have access to online servers? I'm currently on windows 11 and have plenty of compute to emulate the game but would I not be able to connect to the servers in order to play?
  14. Part way through building my own pc case, it is open air but I would like to maintain a sleek aesthetic, in currently doing the PSU mounts but I found some n52 neodymium magnets lying around and wondered how had it could be to mount the PSU with these? They have around 500g of pull and was thinking I could use 4 to stick the bottom of the PSU to my case where is will be mounted sideways anyway, should I be worried about the strength of these magnets? On the back side I would put small blocks of a magnetic material to help counter the field it would project behind them but would it interfere with anything inside the PSU? The PSU in question is a be quiet system power 9 400w, and to be clear the PSU will be oriented sideways with the fan facing toward the user, the magnets would sit near the screws which mount the pcb to the casing of PSU or the bottyas I understand
  15. Recently discovered that my matebook 13 has a crack through the middle of the display, unfortunately the only website I've been able to find selling my display is AliExpress and with the Huawei logo missing at the bottom I highly doubt it's an original and to the quality they claim, anybody have a link or company that sells official parts? Matebook 13 model HN-W19R Ryzen 5 3500u Dark grey Thanks
