And that you’ve identified and solved a problem that other musicians may suffer from in the future - thanks for following with the solution!

When I get a chance (and am not on a WiFi-connected iPad) I’ll edit out the redundant ones.

Excellent - case closed!

All working correctly for me both times I've logged in so far today (i.e. no Readers Ads in Quick Links/Unread posts)

Hooray!

I keep thinking about replacing the strings on my electric bass as I'm still using the ones that came with the kit (apparently they're notoriously poor quality). But as no-one has commented yet they're clearly good enough for my recording purposes so they shall stick around for a while yet. :) I co...

Well my new set of La Bella bass strings arrived from Bass Direct this afternoon, I fitted them carefully (taking advantage after removing the old strings to rub down the fingerboard and giving it another treatment with Rotosound Lemon Oil), and... ...what can I say, except that they have made this ...

"Still, not sure converting from RCA to Toslink ever works reliably well." Oh? I used to convert both ways to and from a 2496 card to MDisc and with cheap switch converters. Never had a problem. Dave. Same here, using an M Audio CO2, for loads of files over the years - not even a single c...

Hi jet buckle, and welcome to the SOS Forums!
Yes, I suspect it would, but there's an easy way to find out.

Good luck!

That could be VERY handy tomas!

Hi Finn, and welcome to the SOS Forums!

As it happens, I've already been mentioning your fascinating Droplets app/plugin at our most recent SOS Virtual Zoom meeting:

You already have at least one SOS Forum customer.

I ordered the heavier set, as I found the stock strings slightly floppy for my taste (I’m used to quite heavy LaBellas on my main bass). Of course, the new strings now won’t fit the nut slots on the bass, so everything’s on hols until a cheap set of nut files arrive! Ah, that's one reason I ordered...

OK, afer a break of several months I've spent some time this evening practising on the bass, and have ended up ordering the Light version of the La Bella strings:

And so say all of us!

And it's congratulations from me as well Drew

Oh wow - according to Behringer, the DI400P also features a 'superior ground-lift switch'

Here it is:

I will need to file the nut slots though, they are certainly too high. I shall report back after fitting the new strings if anyone's interested. I got a significantly more playable instrument after deepening my nut slots so that they were all 0.4mm above the neck (about the thickness of a typical b...

Just re-listening myself right now, and it's one of the best guitar solos ever IMO

Woo - the balance on that track is one HELL of a lot better

And while Aja is a superb recording for the time, it doesn’t stand up against modern recordings that Donald Fagen has made. I find this intriguing, since I love the sound of Steely Dan albums in my collection such as Aja and Royal Scam, yet given all the praise attached to Donald Fagen's 'The Night...

As for which tool I use? ...ReaTune, of course. Like Drew says, "the built in stuff is generally very good these days." I use ReaTune from time to time when there is something that really bugs me - but I try not to make it too obvious. I aso use ReaTune (very rarely) if I can hear an odd ...

No need for a pole: grass + earth is pretty unreflective.

Did you guys know that in most movies or sound effects industry, the sound of actual rain is hard to capture so they use to record something frying on a frying pan. It blew my mind when I first found out. Many years ago, when I first started recording ambient sounds of the sea, I was also amazed ho...

I was listening through my tiny studio ATC monitor loudspeakers.

Now you've gone from being inspired by Frank Zappa to directly channeling him! :clap: 8-) :thumbup: Like alexis, I lurve the constant time changes, the Rhodes/guitar combo, the off-beat guitar stabs, and all the harmonies.
