No disrespect intended to anyone but what do people mean when they speak of "character" and "vintage" in relation to sound? My interpretation Character: saturated or mildly distorted, with an ‘unflat’ frequency response - usually a bump in low or high mids Vintage: a not massively extended top end.

Hi all, been using C14 all day today - seems pretty stable. The new mediabay audition features are pretty handy - it all just works better for those of us that work with loops. Having the whole mixconsole in the lower window is really helpful - I never really open the mix console window so it gives ...

I made the switch about 18 months ago. Perfectly happy tbh. If you believe the pre release hype, all new m4 macs will come with a minimum of 16gb RAM so that may be enough for you, but as others have said increasing to 32gb may help future proof it. By all accounts the entry level m4 chip is ...

I’ve said on this forum before that UAD have got a bit of a problem- they support more platforms than anyone else; Mac, PC and DSP and they have to continue to do that since although with advent of native many people (including me) jumped off the UAD 2 cards, they still have the Apollo range with u ...

I'm a 100% with James on this one. The ONLY reason I would buy one of these things is transfer some old 4 tracks into my DAW. The Porta 02 was a very budget machine in its day so assuming it works properly (unlikely) it would probably fulfil this purpose but not much else. If you're looking for it ...

Hi, in short, you can't do this. Interfaces with DSP fall into 2 camps - those that have specific plugins that run on them - Universal Audio and Antelope, and those that use the DSP to run mixers eg RME. You can't run any old plugin on a DSP interface it has to be specific to the manufacturer. so ...

To the OP I would put bass traps on the back wall as well as the corners and maybe a soffit trap where the wall meets the ceiling on the same back wall. Also do you have any bass trapping behind your speakers or desk? Remember bass frequencies don’t just fire out of the front of your speakers…. If yo ...

Sounds like you know what you want then ma’dude.
I’m sure the SSL will be excellent…thought about one myself, but then I’d have 19 preamps…when I only use 2 these days.

Downsizing sucks

Hi Paul, not much of your post really makes sense to me. You say you only need 2 mic inputs, but then you're asking us for an opinion on two 8 channel mic preamps? Am I missing something? Also you say the UFX II/III has no growth for expansion? But they’ve got ADAT/MADI so you can add more inputs in ...

I do mate.
It seemed to happen after I extended my desktop to my iPad for a bit if that gives any clues…

Yeah I have but not sure what difference that makes?

Hi there, thanks for the suggestion - when I checked that was already ticked - I tried switching it off, but no dice.
weirdly when I select bottom now the dock appears on the other smaller screen - still not on the main display?

Can you explain further please I don’t really understand what a single space is.
Also it just happened last week, the dock has always been at the bottom of the main monitor…now I can’t get it back!

Hi there. I have 3 monitors connected to my Mac Studio- a WQHD set as my main display and 2 15” ones. When I set my dock location to the bottom of the screen, it appears on one of the smaller monitors even tho the WQHD is the main display. If I choose the position to be left or right, it appears on t ...

I've just recovered from a nasty 7 year gambling problem so I'm continuing from where I left off back in 2016. There was a bloke who was just starting to teach me online mixing lessons just before I stupidly got into that nasty 7 year gambling problem I regrettably got into. I'm pleased to say that ...

Massively ill judged comment.
Addiction is not something to be ‘joked’ about.

Grow up

I’m know that it’s really tempting and much less messy to just drop the whole slab into a frame…but…you will get significantly better performance if you cut the rockwool into 100mm strips so the cut edge (the open edge) faces into the room. I just did this with all of my panels and it made a big diff ...

I use a Cubase Stream Deck plug-in. Unfortunately there are many commands that are not supported, so I do still have to use the MIDI plug-in too. Given the hundreds of possible Cubase commands it's forgivable, but I do wish the writer would expand it. If anyone is interested (and for anyone writing ...

Im a very very long time PC user that recently switched to Mac. I see no difference in availability or cost of software between the 2 platforms. Both have their quirks, Windows can be fussy over thunderbolt, Mac isn't. But Mac does want things run in legacy mode (RME drivers) whatever that is so ...

You might want to consider some more bass trapping behind the speakers/back wall and/or and maybe some diffusion on the back wall, especially if you're doing anything with a lot of bass like EDM or some such. Your mix room is nearly 6 meters in length so im pretty sure you're going to get modes ...

I posted a very similar thing a while back and got absolutely panned…however.. It seems to me that a sonarworks hardware host already exists inside the Adam monitors like the A7V series. They have the converters, DSP and Ethernet hook up. I can’t see it being that difficult to stick it in a sta ...

What this thread shows me, is that there is a definite move not just on this forum but on the internet as a whole to a point where a 'question' has become more an individual seeking validation or affirmation of a decision or belief they have convinced themselves is true rather than the need to find ...

Hi there. I’m sorry if what I’m gonna say sounds elitist and judgemental, but the question you’re asking, and the way you’re asking it leads me to think that the ‘most professional’ (whatever that means) interface isn’t going to help you. There are so many factors that go into choosing an interface a ...

I'd be very wary of buying ANY 'acoustic' treatment from any source that doesn't declare its effectiveness at any particular frequency. As has been stated above Foam which claims to be effective at lower frequencies just isn't...so you don't know what you're buying and what effect it will have in ...
