about

When I work on audio at home, my monitors and mixing board always have some faint noise floor. I think it depends partly on dirty current noise, Chinese 50 Hz household AC, and dust inside the mixing board, maybe many other factors.Sometimes, I want to remove it, and sometimes I also listen to it. This periodic dryness fascinates me. It makes sense, I recorded it.

A lot of my electronic music compositions in the past two years have been related to no-input mixing boards, this time with only outputs. I used the my first mixing board, amplified noise floor. Some tracks use phantom +48V. L1-5 is the microphone aimed at the bass part of the recording, and H1-3 is the treble part. Equalization and compression of the audio, no other effects are processed and adjusted.

It may sound boring, but I like it.
