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.

I couldn’t think what else to do TBH.

Purchased a new Mac Studio last September and allocated my G Raid 2 to automatic daily Time Machine backups. A number of weeks ago I noticed playback of ripped commercial music was disrupted if I was using Safari - particularly when scrolling. Yesterday I noticed my OB-6 inputs on my Fireface 802 on ...

delete please mods

I've buggered something up and don't know how to fix it. Mac Studio M2 Ultra running Fireface 802 for several weeks on Ventura 13.5.2 but I recently installed the latest Logic update. However everything was working fine. Yesterday I got around to installing a few missing plugs among which were ...

I'm northwest England - well not me personally :crazy: but you know what I mean. I've tried everyone local to me and they seem to have gone out of business unfortunately. I just used Gareth Magennis of Sound Service in Leeds. Bit of a trek but needs must. Nice chap, very modest pricing, my MKS-70 is ...

For the sake of balance, I have emailed Smartwater twice and they haven't bothered replying. If you are likely to have any queries I would suggest telephoning them prior to purchase.

Yes, I resorted to dabbing Smartwater through the tremolo cover on my Strat. I will email Smartwater and ask - possible solution might be to put the mark inside the XLR socket.

Don't know if you have sorted this but if you try the three week trial of Synplant 2 then its AI engine can recreate sound samples and synthesised sounds. It's very clever how it works. https://www.youtube.com/embed/rN7B8LUY3WU?si=ZkwJNEhSliKqElGT&autoplay=1&start=1242&enablejsapi=1&rel=0&origin ...

Hey guys, glad it will be of use to some of you.

I only know a few here personally but for those who haven't met me I was medically retired from the police a number of years back following an assault on duty. During my stint on the job I spent some time working as a custody sergeant, which was where I first became aware of arrests for possession ...
