Hi. I only have SSD's used actively in my studio pc (6) for both software and samples. I started the transition 5 or so years ago, and have replaced my HD's for SSD's, and have had no issues with them. I have a few external HD's that I use for storage of downloads and stuff (incl music software, libraries etc.). All the best.

I've more or less stopped using un-rezisable plugins, running a resolution of 3440x1440 (34.5" with 21x9 layout). But it seems clearer on my monitor, with more contrast than previous.

I'd say yes, after checking a few tracks. This is just a random track.

Just pure luck on my part.

This is just me, but I'd try 2 and 2 buttons while turning it on until I found the correct pair. I suspect they will be next to each other. I can't see that it should/could damage the Mackie, just trying it out. All the best.

I noticed that all my Softube plugins (Volume 5), with the exception of Trident A Range had an update ready for me. I have not gotten any email regarding this (yet). Run Softube Central to update. All the best.

Parctise, pcratise, partcies.

Hi. I found this video showing that you have to push 2 buttons while turning it on. Hope it helps. All the best

Hi. I would also take a look at Softube's Console emulations: https://www.softube.com/products I love the British Class A (Neve) for vocals, bass and guitar. It has a broad strokes Eq, but a musical one, and a great compressor. The American Class A (API) is also very good. The Summit has a gentle tone to it, but with some vibe. The Tube Tech is based on its original Danish design, and has a little bit "modern" and "glossy" sound to it. The Chandler also sounds very good. None of these are cheap, but they offer Demo's for all their products, so I would check them out, if you find it interesting. All the best.

Yes. I went to the Oslo Opera in April, watching/hearing Rigoletto by Verdi. It was a great experience. I'm off to see Carmen by Bizet on June the 24th. in the same place. I found out that Tool was playing an hour away from my house the same day they played 2 weeks or so ago, but had no tickets.

Thanks, John! The thing you're hearing is probably my low vocal, singing an octave below the lead voice. There's no special effect on that vocal, besides reverb and delay. I usually double track verse vocals, and triple track choruses and bridges. All the best.

Hi. When I had my RME UCX, I connected my POD HD 500 via spdif, using half of an old school Hi-Fi cable (red and white for connecting devices to amp/receiver). I had no issues with degradation of the sound using simple cables as that. My RME UFX doesn't have spdif, so need to find an spdif to AES cable to connect it digitally. For now, 2 jacks... All the best.

I'm working on a 7 minutes long song now. I could let it fade out for another 3 minutes?

Thanks mate!

New mix is up with a bit more vocals, and a touch of 1.2 and 3.2 kHz boost on the verse guitar.

I don't see this on my end, in Norway. I had to re enter my credentials, but logged straight in to both IK PM and CS. All the best.

Thanks for another listen, and feedback John. I will check to see if the vocals are where they should be. The slap on the kick is as you say, for listeners with phones etc. I was also told the verse guitar needs a little 1 kHz, so will do those things together. All the best.

Thanks for listening, and positive feedback, Steve. Lyrics have been added to the OP. All the best.

A new mix is up, as I've gotten some more feedback at another forum, and tried to remedy those suggestions I got there. All the best.

Congrats on 20 years! And have a good trip. All the best.

Wow, that is big praise indeed. Thanks for listening and the very positive feedback, Larry. All the best.

I am in the same situation mate. The UAD plugins I want/need (minus the SSL Bus Compressor, which I don't REALLY need). I do have all the Softube plugins I want for my Console 1, and Izotope, Waves, PA, etc. plugins. After last years IK group buy, I filled my cup for a long time. It has to be something special for it to peak my interest. I still come here every day though.

Thanks for listening, and the positive feedback, Freddy. Never wrong to be mentioned in the same sentence All the best.

Thanks for listening and positive feedback, John. I'm not really sure which genre it is, to be honest. All the best.

Thanks for listening and the positive feedback, Nigel. All the best.
