Yes, that's the way it's done. Load you up with everything because it's just too damn hard to write programs that read licenses. I hated Waves, invested in Universal Audio instead and will never download another software update from them again for exactly this reason. It's simple mediocre managers o...

I'm in Canada... and the paper just said: "You, ____________ may share this music with the performers listed as who performs the songs and they may credit the music as their own writing." Then I signed it. The recipient was in the US. Walk away. You have two jurisdictions to settle before...

Equipment has made me anxious and poor.

srsly. It's my retirement fund in liquid assets guaranteed to return -50% on my investment

I have two NYS-SPP1's both branded Neutrik (Rean appears to be a re-branding??) and a dbx 48 pt TRS patchbay, as well as 2 ART XLR patchbays and have had no issues at all with any of it. One of the Neutrik's I bought used and had to clean but no trouble after that. This configuration's been in place...

Over the years I have gone through ungodly amounts of gear and used to purge every three to five years. People used to love it when I went through a clean out phase, deals galore. Gear represents alot to me: tool, fantasy, envy, disappointment, nemesis, obstacle, challenge, failure and success. I ca...

bad players are either future good players or playing in front of bad listeners

Easy times make soft people, hence the utterly pathetic West. As times are going to get very tough here shortly, I have high hopes that the arts in general will become stronger. God knows we children of Capitalism deserve everything coming to us. Maybe treating charts as a valuable thing will go the...

I dunno. I'm sympathetic to the appeal to "professional" as a vague limiter for guidance. It is, after all, endemic to the advertising of every single product out there. No one's selling "The buskers console!" or the "late night beer breath wish I hadn't smoked so much beste...

Probably not going to help, but...I have noticed that Windows itself does not always do a good install. In fact, just this last week I had to reinstall windows three times to get it to run with the proper permissions set on both the C:\ drive and registry items themselves. I honestly do not understa...

I have had my Nero since they first came out. No issues ever. zero. Sounds great, highly functional.

I use the optical out from my Vizio TV without any issues whatsoever.

I never understood why people expect to get paid for playing music. Unless of course you're an actual genius or prodigy, the rest of us simply aren't worth much money. I used to chase money but realized it's a lot like collecting dog poo. All you have to do is decide how dirt you want to get when pi...

The streaming services will continue to scam investors while making a hash of royalty payment schemes until the energy to run all those server farms gets too expensive. Which won't be long now.

nope. I use console tape and label every one of them when I get new gear. Plus, I keep them always together with their intended device.

I can't read print the size of cockroach footprints.

These days you're spoiled for choice and can hardly go wrong. The Apollo gear is great even without plug ins. Focusrite makes excellent pres as well. I use an aggregate device in Mac using the Focusrite 8PreX and an Apollo 8 which provides more than enough options. RME is beloved in the EU/UK, almos...

The Bing walk through is incorrect for build 19042...Settings>System>Storage>Temporary Files..

But it's always been this way. Sure, the new media platforms evolve the space a bit, but as far as fake news goes, BBC and NYT are hard to beat. Anyone remember the run up to the Iraq war? I can cite thousands of intentional lies pushed by the hallowed media giants. The silence is deafening. So lies...

Good lord. Funny thing, I live in the US and now that I've clicked that link from a UK customer, Reverb thinks I'm in the UK and is pricing everything in pounds lol. Now that's quality programming for ya. Better log off and clear me caches.

My deepest condolences
