Free to good home - drop me a PM. items in Liverpool but can post.

Re: Small footprint mixer with maximum number of inputs.

I think you can buy the APB stuff new from their euro distributor - Pro Audio Technik. I swapped emails with them last year about buying one of their rack mixers direct. Their 1U rack mixers may be a good submixer option as all channels have mutes and they are well made so cross talk/bleed should be...

Re: Small footprint mixer with maximum number of inputs.

Might be too expensive but Speck Electronics Xtramix?

Otherwise just use a patchbay. Surely you don’t need all of the inputs ‘live’ at once?

Re: Korg TR rack

Presonus Studio One uses the VST3 format on Macs...Not sure there is a free version but Artist is cheap and/or bundled with interfaces/hardware.

Re: Cassette digitisation service recommendations

When I had to do something similar last year (1980’s family cassette digitising), I just bought a cassette to MP3 gadget from Amazon - £15. Simple and even crappy conversion has better than the sound from my WH Smith C60! (and it actually wasn’t that crappy). It was this one: https://www.amazon.co.u...

Re: Upgrade Mackie Onyx Blackjack interface?

Motu m2, m4 and M6 have great latency and preamps, conversion etc is more than adequate.

Re: RME interface for Mac G5

Hammerfall?

Sound-Generation have one for sale with the cardbus adaptor but pretty sure these also connected other adapters including the PCI card which I think you are saying is present?

Try this:

It’s a copy of an earlier Quiklok design but no idea if available in North America.

Re: Logic Pro better than . . .?

One area in which Logic is way better than most is that the upgrades are free. Since I upgraded from Logic 9 to 10 in 2013 I haven’t paid anything for the constant updates - some significant. On the other hand my journey from Cubase 7 to 12 has cost me £100’s! Even if they eventually charge for a fu...

Re: Mac M1 working audio interfaces - any recommendations?

Not read the whole thread so sorry if this is duplicated but don’t forget that ‘class compliant’ Firewire interfaces will no longer work with OS Ventura onwards. Recently bought an original Mackie Onyx 820i and it was plug and play on my M1 running Monterey....didn't realise it will be bricked if I ...

Re: Which budget USB stereo audio interface?

I’m sure they will all be fine but Motu M2 might be worth a look at the higher end of the budget range. Had the M4 and very impressed. Also had a super cheap Presonus Audiobox USB96 for my son and it was really good! Midi was proper 5 pin DIN as well. Headphone out seemed fine to me.

Re: Thunderbolt Monitor question

I thought thunderbolt was backwards compatible with display port and shared the mini display port form factor? Certainly connected a Mini DisplayPort lead to thunderbolt in the past. Not sure it carried over to TB3 but 99.9% sure it worked on TB1 and 2.

Re: Thunderbolt Monitor question

There are DVI to Mini DisplayPort (TB1/2) leads perhaps an HDMI to Dvi dongle and then the DVI to MDP?

Re: Anyone still using aksys???

I was until recently - last year in fact. Had a MPC4000 and kept an old G4 Powerbook around to run Aksys - worked flawlessly I have to say and so easy to drag and drop samples etc. That said, don’t miss it!

Re: An Old Favourite DAW - ACID PRO 10

Used to love it and had 4 through to 7 and then migrated to a Mac which ended my Acid journey.....recently loaded all my Sonic Foundry/Sony Sample discs (on which I spent a small fortune) onto my Akai Force and had a nostalgic moment!

Re: High quality 24 channel Analogue desks for under 10k ?

Audient ASP4816-SE? You may be able to get a nearly new or demo for around £10k. Only 16 channel strips but there are actually 48 channels available...well at least 32 as it’s inline but there are 8 groups and aux as well.
