Might upset you!

Dave.

Can’t remember exactly, but I paid less than that, in John Lewis, they had a special deal on an earlier model, basically the same TV.

Also, the majority of modern TVs have excruciatingly bad sound quality — an inherent byproduct of frame-less flat-screen TVs. That’s what I thought Hugh, we were pleasantly surprised by our Sony 55 inch OLED, the sound is amazing, with really deep bass, in fact, it's great to listen to music on, an ...

Don’t be afraid to dial in a bit of EQ on that bass, mind you, it's a bass sample it shouldn’t be lacking in bass! I used to use an uncannily realistic acoustic bass sample on an SY77 and it had a lovely deep rumble to it, and that was just a synth preset.

Ever since I installed Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol (oh! the irony!) I get a core MIDI error every time I start Logic. I don’t. I have an Apple M1 MBP 13” laptop. I have an Apple M1 laptop, and I still can’t install Reaktor, as it’s not supported yet. Yes it is. I've just double checked and R ...

Nice! Except for drums, all of my submixing is in stereo, it can really make a big difference. I tend to use my mono mixer for 'feature' instruments (lead lines, kick, snare). Having a multitrack recorder integrated into my external mixer has really been the life saver, though! I barely use my ...

Drums could be a little more forward, lack of detail in the drums in general, I'm not hearing the different parts of the kit clearly enough. Also the sound of the snare, cymbals, a bit nasal. The vocal is great, but the whole thing doesn’t hold together because of the drums, and a lack of real bass.

The problem is exacerbated by devs all relying on the same 3rd/4th/5th party platform provider so all the crap looks the same except has different colors and branding. Same bugs, same limited choices, same boring uninspired caca doodoo for the consumer masses, of which I appear to be one ...

OneWorld, not heard great things about Nektar stuff, support etc.

Speaking of random generators, have you seen the Tobinski sequencer? This has me very intrigued ... https://youtu.be/Xn-IspcJgl4?si=ENO2YqNkQ1gGAf8P Since it's just the raw sequencing brain it requires quite a bit of ancillary hardware to get up and running if you want pitched sequences, but it ...

Thanks Ajay, ha! so it's capable of "really weird things" it's on the way! :) No, this is the first digital desk that's really tempted me, it sounds like a good combination of the things I have at the moment, but in a more powerful more streamlined package. That thing about using it as separate ...

That DM3 looks very interesting, notice it only has eight faders, are layers involved? I know nothing about digital mixers. So, it’s a mixer, an interface, and a control surface, plus FX etc? Yes, there are two layers, for the main inputs, and the faders will all jump to the settings as appropriate ...

PS, I'm normally a fan of Behringer gear here, but I had one of these, I'd steer clear of it, it's OK for very non-demanding things, but I sent mine back as the sound wasn’t good at all, you can do better than this.

What? I'm running a Behringer 1820/ADA8200 combo, absolutely fine with the various outputs from my A&H MixWiz the Behringer has Line and Instrument level adjustment, it works best if I set all the line inputs to instrument , it gives me a much more useful gain range and works fine with pro level ...

Big changes yesterday, took the outputs of all my modular mixers into a Mackie, using adapter cables, now the modular input to my main mixer comes from the Mackie. A lot of my modular mixers have dual outputs so I can continue to patch normally if I need to. This has opened up loads more ...

I've posted a few times on this elsewhere but the decision I made a couple of years ago to make the Yamaha DM3s mixer the centrepiece of the studio solved so many problems for me. It now sells for £1300 too, which is £200 less than I paid. That is still a wodge of cash but you are getting 16 a ...

The maximum line input level specification I saw on the UMC1820 was +11dBu. But yes, +18dBu for the instrument inputs. And mic max level also 11dBu. Strange. Like a lot of the given Behringer specs it doesn't make sense. You might have an added 9dB of gain in instrument mode to make up for a weaker ...

The Behringer simply isn't designed to be used with devices that output professional levels and the Scarlett inputs 3 and 4 will also distort well before the desk runs out of steam. What? I'm running a Behringer 1820/ADA8200 combo, absolutely fine with the various outputs from my A&H MixWiz the ...

You’re putting "ultimate" audio quality before creative flexibility not a good idea in my book. Audio quality is important, but not "that" important, even the cheapest budget interfaces are more than good enough these days. You’re set-up is very limiting, you only have two inputs, you can only rec ...

Rack update, yes, exciting! :) It arrived, and took all my abandoned modules, if any of you are thinking of using multiple racks, make sure you link them all together with earthing straps, back to a unit that has a solid mains earth, I've had big problems in the past not doing so. These little ...

I think that’s why most classical engineers I’ve met used Sadie.

Don’t be, it comes with the territory, we’re both way too far out now.

Something like this?
