Could be dust clogging up the intake? But yes it’s definitely right to take it back!

I have a 27 inch i7 2015 in my studio , silent 99% of the time. Have you checked your activity meters to see if it’s maxing out when it’s making this noise, or is it on and making that noise all the time...which is not right.

Could do without the pejorative headings for me, leave that to the rest of the internet!

.....and if you need it...a fourth!

But Im lover of these vintage synth and for the first I have the chance buy it Indeed I am too! I’ve had in the past many of the vintage models. If it’s a collection you’re after by all means pay the over inflated prices (£3k for a Juno!!!!!).but if you want to make music just have a look what’s av...

I have avoided the “vintage” models and like Arpangel gone for those companies modern interpretations or reissues. A warranty and exchange guarantee is more important to me when I’m spending ££££. I went for the Moog One as my big analog poly - and glad I did.

Yes it certainly looks good, particularly the Dolby Atmos stuff. I’m on Catalina for now and likely for a bit longer I suspect!

Nice to hear from you Desmond!

If you just want to record with no editing (which is a faff too far) then yes it’s ok. It really depends on where you want to end up and what flexibility you aspire to. I wouldn’t track a project on one.

It’s a good package for the money, the keyboard (which takes some getting used to if like me you’re a piano player!) is very expressive and the vocoder and sequencer are great things really. I like it but find the little screen pretty hard to follow. If you’re a youngster or blessed with 20/20 visio...

Eddy has hit the nail on the head - as per :clap: I’ve used a Kronos for 7 years and programmed it lots. I occasionally mock up midi tracks before exporting to my DAW, but I’ve rarely recorded audio into the sequencer. I’ve recorded and sampled audio lots into the Kronos but now I tend to use my DAW...

Yep I agree, try Spitfire Labs or their BBC Symphony Orchestra Discovery. Spitfire also pay royalties to the musicians who were involved in the recordings which was good to know. They also do a great Black Friday set of deals and discounts on major products every month. As others have said the libra...

The goal of my next challenge is to record in real time a performance using just the Lyra-8 and Subharmonicon. And maybe a kick drum or some other minimal percussion? Not sure. Ben your approach I find very inspirational. I’ve followed your personal musical “challenges “ with interest. I’m working ...
