online collaboration
Hi all, I just tried listening to a friend's session in Logic (I use Reaper) with a zoom meeting - but the audio quality was too poor to enable me to comment on the mix (we manged to get it in stereo at least). Is there a zoom alternative where you can listen to someone's mix in decent (mp3 320 or b...

Why have SOS taken away all the dates for online articles?
Hi,
Until recently, if I searched a review or article on SOS there would be a date at the top so you could see if it was recent or from 8 years ago - which is helpful to know.
Why's it gone now? All article are timeless!
Thanks
Gav

Yamaha CP88 warranty (or any yamaha digital piano)
Hi, I bought a brand new yamaha CP88 stage piano (boxed, unopened) from a UK eBay store (but to my knowledge, not an approved yamaha dealer). Will I still have the normal warranty? The seller reassured me that I would - but reading the yamaha shpeel: http://europe.yamaha.com/en/support/warranty/&quo...

Re: Behringer C2 pair as ambient mics for lead singer IEM mix?
Thanks Alec,
I do have an SE2200A and a rode K2 but they're too fancy to risk bringing along haha so I'd rather spend £35 on these behringers I think.
Cheers

Behringer C2 pair as ambient mics for lead singer IEM mix?
Hi, Just started gigging again with a female vocalist friend and she hated feeling isolated from reality with her IEM's (which we need as we play to click / backing) at our first gig - so I started looking for the cheapest half decent option to get some of the air and audience sound in her head and ...

Re: PRS vs PPL vs Soundreef etc - confused
Hi again, Just wanted to ask - my friend and I agreed a 70:30 split for any money earned from our song. But as PRS is for the songwriter, she'll get 100% of that. PPL is for performers / recording / production which was all me bar the main vocal which was my friend. So how does one create a 70:30 sp...

Re: PRS vs PPL vs Soundreef etc - confused
Thanks again Phil So we'll both join PPL as she does sing on the track. And we'll both join PRS - this song she is 100% the songwriter but we have since done other songs, co-written together. Final (I hope!) question - so are there two separate revenue streams? - one from PRS for songwriters and one...

Hi Phil, Thanks SO much for taking the time to give those answers, much appreciated. So to clarify (sorry!)

Re: Setting up new Focal Shape 65's advice please
Thanks Wonks The foam isn't as deep as it looks - the front is like a thick wedge to hold speakes but the foam under the speakers is actually only 2-3cm. Hugh - Bob said 1m listening distance is the 'optimal' distance, not minimal - hence I'd presumed 1m between speakers as equilateral triangle etc....

Re: i7 8550u overheating with plugins
Thanks - that's good to know : ) I've unticked 'allow live fx processing' in the buffering section of Reaper's preferences and that seems to have helped - temp now dropped to mid 60's. I had it ticked for playing multiple VST's live as it stops clicks and pops but for mixing it seems it is best unti...

Hi, My i7 8550u laptop normally runs nicely at 45 degrees C. But when I run my current project in Reaper it heats up to 81 degrees C - even though the CPU is only at 50%. And that's just the project sitting there, not even playing or me playing VSTi's A rogue plugin perhaps? Is that a thing? Thanks ...
