Re: DP Gripes, and things that have (almost) pushed me to Cubase

Another one is that my metronome won't sound when I record (or playback), despite having selected it (and output channel etc is correct). If Metronome is lit (blue), typically clicks will not sound. I have to deselect metronome, then re-select DURING recording/playback for it to finally sound the c...

Re: Building an External Music Studio Building

Your location (with woods in the background) doesn't appear to demand a lot of acoustic isolation, which makes things easier. Drywall would provide superior isolation, but if you don't need it, who cares? Unless you're doing 2-layers of drywall plus high-density fiberglass in the wall cavity, drywa...

Re: Building an External Music Studio Building

I didn't do any of the construction, but I did lay carpet, etc. Also, I learned it's cheaper to do the interior walls and ceiling with prefinished tongue-and-groove pine than to do drywall (by the time you do tape/mud/paint), so I saved some dough there. It all looks really nice. Your location (wit...

How much of the construction did you do?

Re: Building an External Music Studio Building

My immediate thoughts: 1. If at all possible, build something bigger than 160SF 2. Whatever the size, use dimensions that avoid stacking of room modes. http://www.mcsquared.com/modecalc.htm 3. If acoustic isolation ("soundproofing") is important in either direction (to acoustically protect...

Re: DP Gripes, and things that have (almost) pushed me to Cubase

With consecutive notes of the same pitch, where starts & ends are quantized for notation purposes , playback doesn't work right. I guess that's why I never see this problem. If quantizing for notation, as opposed to audio, purposes, perhaps a "Save As (Notation)" would be a good appro...

Re: "Upgrading" interfaces.

I came across a local sale of a 2408MK3 and the 424 PCIe card.... what benefit would i see to use the PCIe card and connect the 2408s to that? Going from memory here. Check the MOTO manual if you sent to explore in depth. IIRC: More I/O, balanced analog I/O, and better conversion with the mk3. One ...

Re: new 828, Mac M1 and Cuemix5 adat outputs

How many Stereo Buses does the 828 provide? It may be limited to eight, and it looks like you have that many is use already...

If this is the case, you can either go with a few mono mixes or have some players share a mix.

Re: DP Gripes, and things that have (almost) pushed me to Cubase

I run all AU except:

Melodyne
Vocalign Project 5
Arturia Vocoder

Pretty sure that is it for VST3

No VST2

Re: Setting up to maximize workflow

Congrats on the new gig! Here are a few of my thoughts... Now that I'm on Apple Silicon, and due to the fact tracks can be pre-set then disabled, and folders collapsed, I have a fairly comprehensive template from which I always start projects. Nice to have favorite libraries on hand and set up to my...

Re: Sonoma 14.4 crash/kernel panic/reboot with Kontakt 7

If you need Antares Auto Tune, which is priced way too high IMO, Waves Tune Live is, also IMO, far better and available for a lot less cash if you don't hate Waves. :oops:

It is a very informative tool, indeed, especially when things are getting wonky or a project is pushing your computer to the limit.
