I think Presonus did some USB3 interfaces but I have a vague recollection their latest ones may have gone back to USB2? There was something in the magazine a month or two ago. EDIT - Hmm. May be misremembering. They're certainly no longer doing Thunderbolt interfaces (see April's mag) but I not sure ...

Half Ton studios fella, does lots of articles for the mag, Neil? Nigel?
He's based in Cambridge and according to his website has a nice selection of mics.

Fast attack, fast release compressor with a low threshold so it just takes off the transient and then lets the note build?

When I still had hearing up to 14.5k (pre-covid) I did try some different dithers when I was first reading up about it. I could never reliably hear the difference between dither and no dither, let alone different types of dither. Now I've lost another k off the top I think there's even less ...

This the way. Performance beats technical wizardry, and learning how best to use and position your mics will beat spending more to improve on the M201s.

Sam Inglis shared a thing a while back that was basically the same thing in reverse; if you've got a acoustic track that's sounding a little flat then adding some artificial early reflections can add a bit of sparkle back in.

I used to use a pair of them inside the piano (one against each side wall) for an open mic night. Worked surprisingly well.

Worth having a look at Mike Senior's library of mic positions as well: https://cambridge-mt.com/rs2/lmp/
(Scroll down for the piano stuff).

Assuming that you're only working on one at a time, this is what iLok Cloud should allow you to do. Install on all 6 machines, sign in and sign out when you're using a machine to activate.
How well it actually works I don't know...

We are very good at spending other people's money here aren't we?
Let's try and find an amp in budget first before we go to recommending buying another guitar as well.

I've thought about one a few times but I generally find it quicker (and accurate enough for my purposes) to grab a chunk of timber and a saw.

Ah, gotcha. That makes sense.
You could sort of replicate it in a daw then by loading all four files in and then manually dragging the start times back each time (using a modifier to keep them off grid).

Interesting piece and concept. But is there any reason not to just mix a stereo file with four point sources of the content? Two hard panned and two at 30 degrees either side? Listening to a file like that on headphones would give a very similar effect wouldn't it?

Don't see why not? Not an area I'm familiar with. If you were going that route you could refine some of the design to eliminate stress points and make installation a bit easier as well.

Will grab the laptop and give this a try after lunch.

Unless you're going to screw into the desk I wouldn't be trusting that. Personally, if this was my desk, I'd create a similar set of holding brackets, but ones that hooked over the rear of the shelf. I'll knock up a quick pic. Summat like this: https://i.imgur.com/g52FlWQ.jpeg The weight of the ...

Guess what? It's quite complicated! If your target is just streaming via the majors (Spotify/YouTube*/apple) etc, and the tune is originally from a major publisher, then it may be covered by their blanket licence. If it's for a physical product or permanent download then you'll need a mechanical ...

Is this what you remember Drew?

Andy

That's the dude.

There's a chap who comes to Synthfest who makes extruded aluminium racks and, I believe, does custom options.
Now I just need to remember his company name...

Listening now

Even for less-than-mastering scenarios, I've been surprised at how much I'm missing my sub whilst it's on repair. Obviously it also means I've lost my room correction as well, but I'm definitely missing that confidence that I was hearing everything across the frequency range (if not to the detail ...
