With a too-high Q in an audio amp but short of oscillation you would get "ringing" of the frequency in question and greatly increased amplification of that frequency from the input signal. The level just short of that ringing would be used by a CW (morse code) user in amateur radio to single out on

I've mostly done radio and news video, though back in the 1990's I was in a band mixing metal and medieval influences. Due to my economic situation, almost every piece of gear had to be bought by price, ruling out high-end stuff. I rebuilt an old rendal Marshall guitar amp (expensive enough) with

We are proud to have Ubuntu Studio 16.04 out in the wild. And the next release can and should be better. It WILL be better if you help! Are there specific packages that should be included or removed? Are there features you would like to see? We cannot promise to do everything you ask, but we
