  1. PavlovsCat, I swore off Waves plugins because of the WUP, but since it's FREE, I will let this one go. Remember, just this one time only, don't make it a habit. 😁
  2. I have a mother board that can accommodate 4 SSD and 2 NVME hard drives. 1 SSD drive is dedicated to Kontakt only and when I installed kontakt, I set an install path to that drive. Everything Kontakt goes to that 6 TB Hard Drive only. You can set and external HD for Kontakt as well, just make sure it's large enough for what may happen in the future if you dicide to upgrate to a larger version of Kontakt.
  3. I like the Boca Java brand of coffee, it's very flavorable coffee. https://www.bocajava.com
  4. Krishna, are you referring to this or something like it
  5. See ya later Larry, Save your money for the sales when you come back. LOL πŸ˜„
  6. LHG, If you had a computer that already had Windows 10 on it and it got wiped, just reinstall Windows 10 again and connect it to the Internet, it will auto reactivate again. If it was the home version, the installation must befor the home version, and if it was for Pro, then the installation must be Pro to reactivate.
  7. Krishna.. Place the mic occordingly, for acoustic guitars near the soundhole; for electric guitars, close to the amp speaker. Select the microphone as the input device in Cakewalk and adjust the input gain to ensure you get a good sound level then hit record and start playing. You can also record just the guitar without the Amp by plugging the cable from the guitar into the audio interface and then adding an amp modeling plugin to give you the sound you want by selecting the various available amp models. Good luck 🎸
  8. I am not that adventurous to take apart my condensor mics, but good luck to you if you do! 😁
  9. I use Studio One 6+ for mixing and so I am not worried by this update. Studio One 6.6 to me is like using 6.5.2.... whatever it was previously, I still have the same mixing tools and it still works the same.
  10. The Focusrite Scarlette OctopPre doesnt have a problem with microphones, it will easly allow for an additionla 8 micropphone to be connect to the unit for use. It just doesn't handle hardware the same way. For hardware processors to be connected to the 18i20 and used with mixing I will have to use a device that has AD/DA conversion via ADAT. This is the Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic, at the minimum from Focusrite or go to another company. likeAudient.
  11. Gwitz, How do you like the Audient 880? It's a nice unit but it's too pricey for me unless I can find it as a B-Stock item for less than $700.00 🀣
  12. LOL Pro Tools is a DAW. πŸ˜„πŸ˜„πŸ˜„πŸ˜„
  13. Are we talking about three DAWs here, or is this Reason as stated below. I can only handle 2 Daws at a time. 🀣 Reason is the capacity of applying logic consciously by drawing conclusions from new or existing information, with the aim of seeking the truth.
  14. Tom, I think I am going with the Audient Evo SP8 shown above. πŸ‘
  15. This is the Expander that I am looking for!! Audient SP8
  16. Tom, Focusrite explained to me the following, "Note that the OctoPre only has ADAT OUT ports on it, so it won't be able to receive any incoming signal from the 18i20. The line outputs of the Scarlett OctoPre are designed to mirror whatever is connected to the front panel respectively. I'd recommend looking into the Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic since this will offer more I/O expansion for your setup" The OctoPre was set up correctly, see here> setting up the Focusrite Scarlett OctoPre with the Scarlett 18i18
  17. Glen, I got it right with Focusrite, as you can see in the reply statement I received from them, I need the get the Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic, This was also noted in a review of the Scarlett OptoPre from SOS Magazine. Quoted: from Sound On Sound Magazine "Ins & Outs? As before, the basic model offers only one-way (analogue-to-digital) conversion. That’s fine if you simply wish to hook up an additional bank of preamps to your interface to, say, record a rock band with a multi-miked kit. However, it does mean you’re unable to use the Scarlett OctoPre to hook up extra outboard to your DAW. To do that, you’d need the Dynamic model, because as well as the obvious addition of the analogue compressor on each channel, this features both A-D and D-A conversion β€” you can route your DAW outputs to the Scarlett OctoPre Dynamics’s line outputs, as well as route its line inputs back to the DAW." I gotta get a new expander and sell this one.. HELLO REVERB.COM
  18. Cupon removes $3.30 from the price πŸ‘
  19. Glen, I was using a Samson S Patch patchbay and had everything connected and working using my Scarlett 18i20. I then switch a few hardware pieces to my Scarlett Octopre I/O's that were connected via ADAT and I started to receive noises like someone was gargling. However, when I connect my microphones to use the inputs, no problem at all. When I connect hardware to the I/O's then strange noises are heard and my audio is not being sent or received from the OctoPre. Like I said in my opening post, Focusrite explained to me the following, "Note that the OctoPre only has ADAT OUT ports on it, so it won't be able to receive any incoming signal from the 18i20. The line outputs of the Scarlett OctoPre are designed to mirror whatever is connected to the front panel respectively. I'd recommend looking into the Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic since this will offer more I/O expansion for your setup" I've been using my 18i20 with a patchbay and hardware for sometime and never had a problem. WIth the OctoPre, I purchased it and set it up to be used as an ADAT expander way before I had the additional hardware to place on it because I got it on sale. But now since I have the additional hardware and can't add anymore connection to my Patchbay, it's time to use the OctoPre or should I say get another expander.
  20. Place the link for it here in the post so we can see ahat your are talkin about. Also, If you vist the REVERB WAREHOUSE, you can find excellent deals on items staight from the manufactuer such as Focusrite and others. Just look to the left of the page for the manufacturers name
  21. Glenn, Do you use the Behringer to connect hardware to your UMC1820? If so, how useful has it been? Do you have a problem with all of the connection being in the front? Thanks for the information
  22. Hey folks, I made a big mistake 😒 I purchased a Focusrite Scarlett OctoPre to expand my Focusrite 18i20 Audio I/O so I could add additional hardware to my setup when I ran out of space. Well, I began setting it up with my second Warm Audio WA73-EQ and my Warm Audio WA 76 Comp to start, but I was unable to get the Scarlett OctoPre to connect the external Hardware to be used in Cakewalk by Bandlab or Studio One 6+. I contacted Focusrite on the matter and they informed me of the following, "Note that the OctoPre only has ADAT OUT ports on it, so it won't be able to receive any incoming signal from the 18i20. The line outputs of the Scarlett OctoPre are designed to mirror whatever is connected to the front panel respectively. I'd recommend looking into the Scarlett OctoPre Dynamic since this will offer more I/O expansion for your setup" What are some of you using to expand your current I/O to accept external hardware via ADAT?
  23. Sonar 6? πŸ™„ Wow that was a while ago. Why not just download Cakewalk for Bandlab while it's available, cause it won't be for long when they go back to Sonar. CakewalkbyBandLab Read here for ~~> THE ANSWER, I rember that conversation like it was yesterday.
  24. Thanks John, Your tutorials have been excellent since I first started using Sonar!! πŸ‘πŸ‘
