Thanks Hugh. Yes I figured it may have passed to the great budget recording studio spare drawer in the sky. Thanks for the detailed answer though - much appreciated.

May have just answered my own question...

https://www.audio-forums.com/threads/so ... ion.47016/

Hi all I have an old sony stereo mic (ECM MS957 I think) and the battery isn't powering it. I'm thinking that it might be totally jiggered, or it might work with phantom power (rather than using the battery). Anyone know whether I'm barking up the wrong tree and, if I'm not, whether the cable on the ...

I still struggle to get a really clean warm tone from the UA models. What would you use, for example, for a jazz tone? I have got reasonable results with the Chandler GT amp then boosting the signal with a compressor just to boost the signal rather than compress it. Appreciate your thoughts (and ...

And also to answer one of the other original questions, yes, you can get Logic X as an app for the mac. I think it is around £140 now.

I have now ! but they seem somewhat limiting fader wise(got to be able to 'ride' them on a final mix) ....i appreciate people giving their suggestions on what might work for them but really all i wanted to know is there a mixer desk out there which will control a mac / logic pro set up. Just wanted ...

Haven't had a chance to try it yet - has anyone managed to get a good really clean tone out of it? That is where I think modelled amps struggle IMHO - it seems like there is always a bit crunch somewhere...

I recently dug mine out with a view to trying to get it working in Logic. Haven't had a chance to actually try yet, but did come across this which offered a little hope...

May be one of these?

This same failure happened to my 2011 MBP a few weeks back and after a few to-ings and fro-ings it is now all sorted and fine - they replaced the Logic board for free. I really hope that they extend that warranty period for you Desmond - like many on here I have been the grateful recipient of your ...

Thanks for the responses guys - appreciated. I know how to turn it off, but I just wanted to know why it is suddenly coming on from time to time - might I risk damaging the drive by turning it off? I will probably just get an external drive as suggested, but as I have the hybrid in place of the ...

Hello all For some reason, the sudden motion detector keeps kicking in on my 2011 macbook pro. Not all the time and I know that I can disable it, but I want to know why it keeps coming on. the system drive is a SSD (which I thought didn't use the SMD?) but I have got a hybrid drive in place of the ...

I just plug mine into a normal amp?

I just wanted all the internal gizzards so I could put them in a left handed strat, but it proved impossible. Having actually used one for a few years now, I have to say that having the mag pups is really useful too - it means you aren't totally stuffed if it runs out of batteries for one! Other ...

I have a standard JTV59, which I have converted to leftie. having all the different electric models can be quite inspiring if you are trying to come up with ideas. Some of the acoustics are also usable in a mix, provided you modify your playing to make it sound like an acoustic - and you also need a ...

I had the same re-authorisation issues, but all were sorted relatively painlessly with a few emails. Glad you got it done for free too!

I recently got a free new logic board for my early 2011 MBP. It sounds like a slightly different issue, but my GPU failed catastrophically. It was totally out or warranty, was a second hand machine and I have modded it a bit (swaped optical drive for a SSD), but apple still replaced the logic board ...

Sorry the delay in replying - internet is down at home. Desmond, thank you once again for your help - looks like I'm broadly on the right lines, so I'll have a tinker and see what I can get done. Out of interest, do you think it is worth upgrading to Logic X - I understand that there is a better ...

Hello all *Please remember at all times that my MIDI ignorance knows no bounds* A quick and possibly very dumb, question: What is the best way to hook up a Virus Ti and an old Alpha Juno to my mac (in the absence of a separate midi interface)? I am thinking USB from Virus to mac, then MIDI cables to ...

PM'd you sir...

I only mix only on headphones due to children and wife-based constraints - I am actually in the middle of this one at the moment - https://soundcloud.com/helicesmusic/all-powerful-mix-30-aug-2015 which I recently asked SOSers for feed back on - it is really helpful to have knowledgeable people (with ...

I bit less frantic now, so just wanted to say many thanks for all the comments and suggestions and for saying you liked it - it is really nice to hear that people like it! I have taken on board the strings, distorted kick and bongos points and will address those - exactly the sort of comments that ...

Hi All

Thank you thank you! Really useful feedback and pointers - I am slightly snowed so this is just a holding message to say thanks. Really appreciated.

Luke

Awesome. Thanks both. I'm hatching a plan to get some strings players. I just don't think I have the skillz to programme a really realistic string section - believe it or not I did do a load of programming to try to make that sound good... Thanks both - again, really appreciate your time. Hope all ...
