While I am quite interested in the auto eq feature I was also hoping for some bug fixes. I've been running a7 for quite a while now and I'd love some stability improvements. Of course, I don't know if a8 actually has any stability improvements since I haven't seen a changelog. Nevertheless, I am already running an alpha version and a bigger number has to be better right So, if anybody feels like sharing please send me a PM.

If you want stability improvements, then you need 2.0.

There's no reason that immediately occurs to me that would prevent you from running 3.0a8 to generate AutoEQ, make sure you save the EQ, then revert to 2.0. Is there?

Precisely what I was intending to do.

Problem for me right now is finding a mic that's sensitive enough to do the job...

Hasn't anybody from this side of the pond offered to wander into Maplins and bulk-buy some of the mics the empeg guys used and ship them over?

I'm quite happy to do it if there's someone prepared to handle the US side of things.

Personally I'm more interested in tuner bugfixes. Are you aware of any improvements over 2.0 with this alpha?

I know where I can get one, but when I'm done I expect they'll want it back

Likewise, although AutoEQ would be cool to play with. I'm specifically looking for these issues getting fixed.

Playlist saving seemed to get broken between 3.00a3 and 3.00a5 from my testing although not many others experience the same issues.

Random marking is also really getting to annoy me because I do this.

I've avoided JEmplode as my home PC is a bit clunky and I didn't want the pain of installing JDK. I've tried uploading animated logo's using Logo Editor.

You're saying I may as well stick with v2.0 until the Beta comes out. I did try one of the early v3.0 alphas and liked some of the new options but reverted back due to emphatic not working.

I was getting random crashes with a7 but switching off the random visuals seems to have sorted it out. I think the position saving on power down is sorted too. Other than that, I wouldn't say i'd had that many problems with a7 in the first place.

I upgraded my empeg to 32MB and I have the unidirectional microphone. The only thing I don't have is the correpsonding software.
So if someone is willing to send me a copy, feel free to send me a pm.
Thanks

You need an omnidirectional mike.

Oh, OK, I'm an idiot.

I could've sworn mic was an abbreviation for microphone.

Call me Bitten.

What you need, most likely, is merely the latest version of Jemplode

As always, you are right. How can I have got by without this? I keep seeing resource on this site and thinking that it is too technical for me. All it needs is a bit of time. I love the auto-Hijack loading feature. It appeals to my incredibly lazy nature.

Anyway, I finally have my Alfa logo loaded and ... I LIKE IT! Now, to have a play with the latest emphatic and peruse the lrcdb ...

Merriam-Webster can eat it.

Check any portable audio device, camcorder or mixer board. They all have "Mic In" or "Mic 1", "Mic 2", etc.

Yes, they do. They are also liable to say things like "Inp", "Eff", "Bal", "Para", "Ch", etc. However, I was not using an abbreviation. I was using another word that means "microphone".

Also, I agree with this guy about mike/mic usage, not that he's any particular authority on English usage, other than having a minor book published about it.

I agree with him (and you now that I've read that), but I'd classify it under industry jargon rather than a proper English word. But I guess its common usage is reason enough to remind people of its "technician" roots.

So after all that (including the correct form when abbreviating microphone) is anyone willing to share 3a8?

I'd be interested to know what the empeg guys "learnt" this time around about releasing the alpha.
