Rick and Mike, I really appreciate your input on this. It does look like I am out of phase based on what I'm hearing. When doing an Invert Phase on the Center mic, everything appears louder for sure. Same thing if I invert phase on the Right channel. If I invert phase on both R and C, then the resul...

Recently, I started recording acoustic guitar with three mics. The middle one being panned Center with the outside mics hard left and right respectively. When I add the center mic into the mix, I seem to cause the entire balance to go off by -3 or 4 dB. I need to reduce the right side by that much i...

So today I plugged in my 1995 K2000 synth and went directly from the outputs into my Great River Preamp. and noticed a pretty hissy sounding input. I don't recall if in years past the synth would have so much high end hiss, but I just went ahead and recorded. My question, what can I do to knock down...

So no longer thinking about this upgrade and very happy to say that this new Mac mini Pro M2 is really the computer I wish I had been able to use for the last 20 years or so... I mean really, really smokes and I can't help but love using it. Anyone on the fence about upgrading must give this one a l...

So to give you an ideal on how the Bounce to Disk is working; I just bounced 3 tracks with an aux track of FabFilters EQ, Compression, and MOTU Trim, another aux track of ReLab Reverb, a master track of FabFilters Limiting.... a total of 3 Audio mono tracks, Two stereo Aux tracks, a stereo Master tr...

Yes, that was the problem. Now I remember doing that "access to microphone" thing many years ago when I first installed the Symphony II. All is working fine including the plug-ins after I reexamined them. I'm very happy with this purchase of the M2 Mac mini Pro. It is really fast and super...

Okay, so I went ahead I bought the new Mac mini Pro M2 with 32 GB RAM and 1 TB hard drive. All has been going well except for a few minor things.... maybe obvious but thought I would share here. I started working with an older but recent project and a new project. Once I got the Symphony II updated ...

Mike, I guess time will tell if I get another -43 out of the blue. But I will say this, I've never gotten this error before on my system using DP going back as far as I remember. All of a sudden I get one every day with no real system changes except the addition of a new hard drive and Time Machine....

<<<<Is there a user group where you can find out if anyone is using the Symphony II on an M1 Mac?>>>> I did some checking on an Apogee User group and found one..... but unfortunately it has not been updated with new posts in a few years. Not much help I gather. If there was a way to get a hold of a ...

I'm absolutely certain that this has nothing to do with Time Machine. I'll spare you the paragraphs why other than -43 So Mike, I answered this to another person just now. The problem is Time Machine. I had set it to Automatic backups. Time Machine will do hourly backups with this box checked. Whic...

So I had been getting this exact same problem a few days ago. i didn't lose any work but it was a bit of a hassle and I couldn't figure out what could be causing the problem after many months of error free DP useage. Then I remembered that I had just installed a new backup drive to work with TimeMac...

So I'm just a bit curious as to why neither MOTU or Apogee is responding to requests for compatibility information. I've reached out to Apogee to see if the Symphony II would work and they have not responded. Except, "still in testing" yet the M1 has been out for quite some time and they d...

Thanks for the input Mike. You are always there to give a helping hand and I'm thankful for that. So I did not mention that this started happening after I installed a new 14TB back up drive to be used in Time Machine. So that was set to backup automatically and I'm wondering if that is interfering w...

So maybe its time to upgrade from the 2013 MacPro to the new M2 chip in a Macmini. The pro version should be fine for me with an additional thunderbolt 4 hub that will give me more inputs. I'll need a cable to convert from Thunderbolt 4 to Thunderbolt 2 in order for my Apogee Symphony II to work. So...

So all was good on my 2013 MacPro until recently. Now I am getting these OS error File not Found (-43) while working on a project. I started a new project and the same thing is still happening. I don't know what could be causing except maybe a recent OS update to Monterey Version 12.6.3. That was th...
