Re: Which open back headphones for mixing/mastering, coming from DT 770 pro 250 ohms

I have AKG 702's and sonically they're fine. However, try before you buy because I find them a bit uncomfortable, they never really feel secure enough if you move around & there's no adjustment as such. But then I seem to be the only person who finds HD 25-II's comfortable so maybe I just have a...

Re: Pickup replacements- pointless or necessary?

I have an Ibanez Jet King with stock Ibanez P90's. Several people on guitar forums have upgraded to expensive boutique pickups. Almost all of them have ended up refitting the originals.

Some combinations work, some don't. Paying more won't necessarily get you an improvement.

Re: M-Audio Oxygen Pro Controller question

Looks like I'll have to learn to live with it. I can't really change it because it was part of my leaving present from my colleagues when I retired.

Re: M-Audio Oxygen Pro Controller question

Contact M-Audio directly? There may be a keypress combination to turn the feature off. I've been on the M-Audio forum and many more knowledgeable people than me have submitted requests. It probably sounds petty but it's 6 times an hour and serves no useful purpose other than attracting attention to...

Tried that too. But it kept pressing Paws in the middle of a take.

Tried that but it refused to lay down rhythm guitar tracks. Cats are funny like that.

M-Audio Oxygen Pro Controller question

I have an M-Audio Oxygen Pro 49 to use with Cubase Pro 12 . When I'm using it it's fine and suits my needs perfectly. But if you don't press a key for 10 minutes rather than going to sleep it scrolls all 40+ lights from right to left continuously until you hit a key, pad, press a button or push a fa...

Re: Disadvantages of using a guitar (with plugins) as a bass, vs buying an actual bass?

Oh c'mon, just buy a cheap bass. It's the performance as much as anything; engaging with the thing. Playing a bass feels nothing like playing a guitar or keyboard. From having been in your position I'd go with the suggestion above. I eventually gave up trying to fudge it & bought the cheapest Y...
