Re: Going all analog synths suggestions

I Recently went on a bit of 'synth mission' as a change to my workflow as and aid to the creative process. I added a Hydrasynth, MS-1, Pro-1, Model D and a Korg R3 to my Kong Prophecy (my fav synth ever) and existing arsenal of VST instruments from Rob Papen, Arturia and NI. After the initial excite...

Re: Good But Cheap Audio Interface With Optical Input

Hi there I'd look at the Audient ID14.

https://audient.com/products/audio-inte ... /overview/

It has everything you've asked for, and is great value. The quality of conversion for your monitoring is also excellent.

Its currently retailing for 160 quid.

Re: Hey Everyone I'm Struggling to get the right mood in my mix

Hi Nick. Just had a listen. Things I would look at; the wow and flutter in the initial loop, yeah its a cool sound but its so out of tune that it pulls my ear...maybe use a bit less so it stays 'almost' in tune or put whatever effect you are using on a send and bring some of the effect up under the ...

Re: Steinberg unveil Cubase 13

Seems pretty stable for me atm....
not played too much, but the purchase from their new online store was quick and easy as was the download.

Not sure if the 'fresh new look' is an improvement, but vocal chain seems useful and the Vocoder rocks....

Re: 1980s American Fender Precision issues & luthier recommendations/suggestions

"the truss rod is fine"

worries me a bit - fine means it works, not its adjusted correctly?
string changes can put more/less tension on the neck if its a different gauge, are you certain its setup correctly?

Re: Installing Cubase on new PC

Download the download assistant and chose Cubase, install. Be aware that there's a load of instruments and libraries you get with Pro 12 but don't install them yet. When you install Cubase you will get the library manager as well. my suggestion would be to change the library location before you inst...

Re: Mackie HR824 Opinions.

Anyone else find themselves wishing that studio SOS was still a thing.

If it was, I'd definitely vote for Paul and Hugh going round Arpangels gaff with a huge stack of acoustic treatment.

The positive impact on this forum would be immeasurable...

Re: Mackie HR824 Opinions.

all I know at the moment is what I don’t like, Yamahas are too bright for me, they are probably good for aging rockers with shot hearing. Neumanns are strange, they are popular, but there’s something not quite right about them to my ears. I need an accurate monitor that’s capable of portraying a re...

You could get a pair of Kali Audio LP-8's new for that. They are very highly regarded monitors for the price...

Re: Mackie HR824 Opinions.

I would imagine they will be better then the Behringers - from memory the Behringers (assuming were talking about the 'Truths') ripped them off! I had some for a while. My first 'real' monitors so from that standpoint they were far better than the Hi-fi speakers I upgraded from. Having said that, I ...
