Audiostrobe MP3

[eyeofhorus]

Hi Guys/Gals,

I've been trying to rip a set of audiostrobe cd's to mp3 to a small portable mp3 player for sometime now no matter what I try it doesn't seem to work. I don't have a CD player and the sound card on my PC doesn't seem to work.

Current Settings:
MP3 320KB Constant Bit Rate
Frequency 44100 KHZ
Dual Channel.

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks.

Your mp3 file settings are the same as mine and I have not had any problem ripping these CD's. Your mp3 player might be the problem. Some do not output enough power to drive Audiostrobe. Also, check that your mp3 player does not have an Equalizer turned on as it might mask the audiostrobe signal. Good luck with this.

Cheers,

Also, are you able to AS to work properly with the CDs directly?

Hi Guys,

For Andy's comment I don't have a CD Player just a DVD-ROM on the my PC. I've read on these forums that normal soundcard create to much noise to be used for audiostrobe, I've tested it and that true the lights turn on but nothing much else really appears just a bunch of colour fuzz. Proycon I have is out of the box about 2 weeks a Rev 2.

Thanks, I try that equalizer option when I get chance that TomC suggested.

Additional: These are the frequency specs of my MP3 Player

Frequency Response: 20Hz~20KHz
S/N Ratio: 85dB

Hi Guys,

I can't turn off the equalizer option on my MP3 Player. Are their any external sound cards or Mp3 players you would recommend to buy that are proven to work properly with the audiostrobe MP3's?

Thanks.

I don't know which ones, but I've heard that some do not go loud enough. If the OS on your Procyon is 2.1.4, you can try the analogue AS mode and increase the sensitivity by turning up the volume control on the console.

As Andy says here, you really need to make sure your Procyon AS is in Analogue, not Digital mode and use the Procyon volume control which acts like an AS gain control (higher, the brighter the lights). Try this first for sure.

My mp3 player is a pretty low cost (~$60) iriver E100 (2gb internal and 2gb external memory) and it works very well although I do have to crank up the volume a bit on some AS tracks, esp. ones that I've made with NP2 pro software.

Sorry I cannot advise you on a PC sound card because I do not like using session via my PC, just my mp3 or mainly my portable CD player. However, I have tried it with my C-Media (soundblaster 32 clone?) PC sound card and it seems to work fine.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your support so far TomC I don't quite get what you mean by the following "As Andy says here, you really need to make sure your Procyon AS is in Analogue, not Digital mode and use the Procyon volume control which acts like an AS gain control (higher, the brighter the lights). Try this first for sure."

The OS I'm currently running is 2.10 would I need to upgrade to 2.14 to find this feature. When I am trying to use the audiostrobe mp3 the mode of the Proycon is set AS.

Also does anyone have the factory archived sessions for the Rev 2 console the only one I can find on the support website is for the Rev 1 console at least that what the file says Procyon rev 1.PRb.

Thanks
