Love Funk Logic. Very transparent sounding, no noise or coloration whatsoever.

They have 1, 2 and 3-space rack mount units, plus 500 Series now. Freestanding desk model as well.

If nothing else, have it flash its lights to further enhance the studio magic. :lol:

Re: Go Big or Go Home?

Did you set up the TV to work at 60Hz and in Game (low latency) Mode? Otherwise, it is gonna' feel laggy. No reason it should slow down your computer.

Re: Apple Thunderbolt 3 to 2 adapter and MOTU audio interface dropouts.

I do not have this issue with my 828ES, Mac Studio, and the Apple TB Adaptor.

Re: MOTU 828es in live setting dropping out for a few seconds here and there

Yikes!

I've not had a similar experience, but my 828ES is used in a more typical studio setup.

Hope the show goes ok!

Re: Audio vs Aux tracks in template

Every Audio/VI track has a similar "Enable" button. V-Racks can include more than a single track and can be utilized across multiple Chunks within a Project but, unlike V-Racks, Audio/VI tracks can be automated. In my template, I have each VI hosted in a Track; all Tracks start out Disable...

Re: Audio vs Aux tracks in template

One could bypass the "Convert all VIs to Audio" step prior to mixing and just go right to stem busses which feed audio tracks(for stem recording) and also fold down to the stereo audio mix...

That's what I've been doing. But my template is not nearly as expansive as Chris T's.

None. :smash: Let me take this opportunity to remind you of something you probably already know: you could increase the speed of your 2010 Mac Pro significantly for a total of $80 or less.

Re: Komplete Kontrol crashes MBP M3 in DP11.31

Any time I'm about to do something on my system that makes me nervous, I run a TM backup which will create an up-to-date APFS snapshot of my boot drive so I have something to fall back on easily in case things go wrong. James, are you running an SSD for your TM backups? If you are using a spinner, ...
