Yeah, I did ask the amp/monitor company and they said the amp for the sub does run a bit hot so it wouldn't do any harm. The fan units are £130 each so not a huge expense. The other option was just to buy two inlet fans and mount them above the amps without any sealing of the cabinet. That would ...

I seem to have collected a few valve driven pieces of outboard along with two power amps driving my new passive monitoring system. I have been aiming a floor fan at the amps and I have left the recommended 1U spaces top and bottom for each item. I was thinking about buying a bigger rack with a set ...

Haha, methinks you sound more qualified to judge than I do

That's my wife for you! She's just come in from work and asked if I was making Indian S+M music

Thanks guys. The limiter was very cranked on the first example. After a few EQ tweaks and adding another pad to tone down the fluttering of the Virus pad I ditched the hard compression on each track (which I had adde to try to lower the dynamic range) and found True Level would give the green light ...

okay thanks

It's just a loop.

Tried posting the plugin settings but it won't load. -sorry.

Hold that thought...

Hi all, being somewhat seduced by the idea of "AI" help with my remedial mixing I purchased the above as part of a bundle. For those who haven't seen it, it analysis your mix and makes a judgement on Loudness, Dynamics and Peak Level. Whilst the Loudness and Peak Level seem to be relatively easily ...

Goodness, where to start. As someone who doesn’t get out much (read virtual recluse for the last twenty years - due to ill health) I am not at all in the loop with being professional with my music. I am someone who makes music and occasionally posts it to Soundcloud. I was advised to join PRS, which ...

It is sufficiently accurate that I've been able to balance the cans. Thanks again.

Rich, thank you very much. What a great online test. My left ear is worse than my right at 4K. Both ears mild hearing loss at 8K but at 54 that doesn't surprise me. Looks like I need an audiology appointment.

I have just taken the Royal National Institute for the Deaf online hearing test which has returned the result that I do not have hearing loss. I am aware when using headphones that there is an imbalance that isn't fixed with the pan knob - suggesting there is an EQ element to the difference in ...

An RME Fireface 802 would be worthy of consideration. Front inputs 7/8 on the older Firewire 800 model used to be shared by both front and rear connectors, but I believe that inputs 9-12 are fully independent with the model 802. If anyone can confirm this being the case I'd say that the 802 is as ...

I have the Logitech MX Ergo which is a trackball mouse with multiple buttons and a scroll wheel with an additional button press. With an ultra wide monitor I can spin the ball at high speed and zip from one side of the screen to the other. It has a button for ultra fine movement too. I use it ...

I’ve got an LG ultra wide curved monitor it’s 49 inch and 4K. I had it prior to getting the Mac Studio and on Windows it did cause problems with Ableton - confirmed by them on an email. I haven’t had any issues on Mac. I have my screen set up with A77Xs at the side and in front of the screen so it is ...

Thanks for your reply. What you say makes a lot of sense. I had toyed with the idea of using it as an additional monitor but I think I need a £70 dongle for that. It sounds like it is probably just worth keeping hold of then. Thanks again.

I have a 2019 iMac that I bought new but after about 12 months my daughter needed it for her work. I've just got it back and it essentially looks like new, no faults. It is a 3.6 GHz i9 (5.0 GHz turbo), 32 GB 2666 MHz DDR4, 3.7 GHz Radeon Pro 580X with 8 GB GDDR5 memory and one of the faster (but I ...

Bought a new Mac Studio M2 Ultra with 64Gb ram and a 4Tb drive late last September. I also purchased AppleCare+. It was left in sleep load with no software load about a month ago but when I went into the studio the screen was showing the desktop (the Mac had woken itself) and the Mac was going ...

Just returned a Pro 3 because the Arp wasn’t playing reliably. Three older Sequential synths work fine using the same MIDI cables. Sequential were claiming it was a MIDI loop but pointing out the OB-6, Prophet 08 and Rev-2 worked as expected and asking what settings the Pro 3 needed to fix the p ...

Thanks FA, I’ll give Synthax a ring tomorrow. There is clearly something going on software-wise. I am still under Apple tech support but past experiences of their first line support is variable to fruitless🤣. Synthax are the polar opposite. It’s very hard to know who to approach for software issues o ...

Don’t know yet. It’s only just finished the migration and if I try it and it doesn’t work then I’ll be up all night

Looking into things it would appear I probably should have cloned the stable setup. To the ‘morrow.

Narrowing down the issue is really that I need a simple system from converting a backup back into a fixed OS.
