Nope, both channels sound the same... I don't think this capsule is going to be the way to go.. The XY one I can just use for what I need in and out and job done. Whereas the other requires more than that, granted recording to the H5 in itself is not difficult, neither is syncing, but if I can get ...

Ah! Well, well. Lovely to meet again! Of course, I should have remembered. I am on holiday at present (in Greenland) but certainly hope to check out your hard work when I get back. The Hydrasynth is indeed a synth capable of a huge sonic palette. And having space for a thousand patches really is ...

I use an MSH-6 with my Zoom hand-helds. It's a good-sounding mic. and I prefer it to X/Y for a number of reasons.

As to processing... download the free Voxengo MSED and you have all the post-recording stereo manipulation you will need, including M/S encoding/decoding.

If you have a deep-felt want for an analogue mixer that's one thing, but to buy one to avoid latency? :? ... I don't know that I'd want the compromises of an external mixer to achieve that. I'm not a fan of Direct Monitoring. In the past I've found that it made for head-scratching and bodgery. It ...

Oops!

And I should have said 'Thank you!'.

There are some good patches in this collection. The Hydrasynth is a true chameleon of a synth.

You could connect the TC Clarity via USB. That's how I do it.

Physically you will connect the outputs of the processor to to a pair of inputs on your interface, and connect a pair of outputs from your interface to the processor's inputs. Using the SPDIF connections would seem the straightforward option. In Cubase you will create an 'External Effect' and tell ...

Had to use Teams once... never again, if I can help it. What a convoluted pile of junk.

The humble Reface YC is actually one the best hardware Hammond simulations I've owned - far better than it has any right to be. I kinda miss mine...

As for RME, software is ... complicated I couldn't agree less! :headbang: Seconded. It's beautifully straightforward and outstandingly versatile. Thirded. I accept that it can confuse newcomers, but a few minutes with the manual proves it to be logical, simple, and supremely powerful. All it takes ...

Which organ was used in this one?

Hammond. This is all Hammond stuff.

No.

Is it always that a 1/4" jack is line, and XLR mic?

As a rule, yes, although there will always be exceptions. And the TRS can be line or instrument, very often.

From a quick scout around my studio I'd say I have as many, posibly more, XLR line inputs than mic inputs.

I heard no mention of Helix Native, which concerns me slightly. The hardware is all well and good, but it is the hardware/software combo that has kept me hooked. Do you use the amp and cabinet sims much, Elf? I use them with other artists I work with/for, but not for myself as I don't play guitar ...

The Arturia MiniLab 3 looks like a fairly good option, based on what you've said. It's a shame it doesn't have an internal battery. That would have removed the need for having a PSU or battery bank attached all the time. Nah! It'll be powered from the S-4....... apparently! Perfect! :thumbup:

Nothing in Linux is ever simple.

I have no idea what a 'personal package' is, or how I might use it. I'll wait until the update comes to me!

Tue Jun 10, 2025 1:45 pm

I can't comment on much of this, but just to say don't forget that you can attach a Behringer X-Touch to the XR18 to give you physical faders. That said, you have far more comprehensive control with a connected tablet/laptop. The X-Touch would give you (8x) scribble strips. You can add P-16M ...

As to the JU-06A, yes I have that already and (call me Jurassic) I really like the tonality I can get out of it with ease... :D Fair enough. Having had to endure a few (real) Juno-6/60s first time around I'm jaded with single oscillator polysynths. If you can ever grab a MicroMonsta 2, or a ...
