Re: 2 bass peaks in the mixing room

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 y...

Re: RME Octamic vs SLL Pure Drive Octo vs ?

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

Re: RME Octamic vs SLL Pure Drive Octo vs ?

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...

Re: My dock is in the wrong place…

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 ...

Re: Acoustic Treatment Summer project

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 dif...

Re: Stream Deck Adaption ....... For New Album

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.

Re: Proposed Garage or Hobby Studio Layout - Comments

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 clos...

Hi there.

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?
