I use it. Never understood the negativity around it. Fast easy, I’ve always got lots of USB ports anyway.  Best way to move your plugins around. On top of that I have the plan that covers the key in case anything happens to it too.

That's actually some pretty decent gear for a "low budget" studio, man.

 

Plus, you have a Mac in there - so you get instant pro setup points.  

It’s sufficient to my requirements now. Re the Mac, you might recall I ran a tricked out 2012 Mac Pro up until I wanted to go TB3. Since I didn’t want to over pay for the new cheese grater overpriced, and not deal with apple killing off hackintoshes. I had Scan PC here in the UK build me a very nice 3XS audio system, with TB3. Specs partly in sig. I’m keeping the MacBook Pro to run my secondary area and allow an aggregate setup as required. 

Lol... yep mine is low budget... 😕 

And, here’s studio B. Mainly a preamp feed over AVB. Apollo feeds via ADAT to the Motu 828 ES.

Now the real fun begins!! I have spent this evening getting audio to play from the Presonus studio live 16 series 3. Not an easy task, thank goodness for YouTube!.

@simonYeah, my licenses are showing on the MySteinberg. I just can't get up and going. I don't actually have Cubase 10.5 on my PC. I am in the middle of installing everything on it at last. As I was about to do Cubase, new version came out, and I went.. eww good idea... new version on fresh install... DoHHH :). LOL

I see others complaining about the same issue - very annoying but the elicencer has some way of tracking that so it will come back....

 

Thanks Simon, I have taken screen shots of current state in case, including licenses do show on my account page :).

Not only are the servers playing up.. during my upgrade which seemed to be working it took out my 10.5 license off my elicenser stick.. gone!.  :((

Good luck with activation or download LOL... hmmm.. Ninja skills required I think.

I completed a survey for iZotope yesterday. I pointed out the lack of thought they put into checking the current level of ownerships at these times. I personally own MP4 almost entirely but not MP3.. so it’s a silly update price for me.

If you don’t already have it folks, grab it!.

Still have voucher. Runs out at midnight.

Edit: Gone.

If anyone wants it PM me  for a $50 voucher for PA on anything over $75.00 in basket. First in best dressed.

I want to know when mickeysoft are going to emulate Core Audio and allow aggregate devices!!.. It's the 21st century, we are on 64bit OS and with silly amounts of RAM and CPU power... drivers from major audio hardware makers are stable.... excuses now still??... It's the one part of Windoze that still piiiii sss es me off :).

Yeah, but have you heard the new “real” SWAM instruments? Tenor sax, violin, oboe, clarinet, cello and flute? Wow!

Sure have, and SWAM stuff plus a breath controller.. OMG!.  I am amazed how cheap these SWAM instruments are compared to the usual ones as a VST. It'll be interesting to see how many types get added over time!.

Have it on my iPhone and my iPad. Definitely prefer it on my iPad. It's a very fun interface and the ability to control other vsts and real instruments is very cool too.

Running V12 with Studio One Pro 5.1. Runs perfectly.

I was 3 plugins short for a full WUP to 12. Cost me £36 and I’m now upgraded on all my waves plugins. Just made sense to me at that price.

I really hope it’s not as big of an abortive effort as last time..

@Christian Jones From my strolling through a lot of the presets including this Chorus it’s very good. I’ve said before I’ve never heard a Eventide effect I don’t like 

Oh so very nice..

I solved my Eventide itch. I’ve got me a H9 Max :). The app is the saviour.

My Intel 10900K arrived yesterday.

Mobo, memory and cooler due Monday.

You'll love it Bapu. My 10940x is SOOO quiet and fast. I still haven't hooked up the studio live though... downstairs waiting on other room still... wife won't let me bring it into dining room where the beast is currently residing... LOL. 

As I said in other thread if anyone needs a $50 (for this) PM me. It would make a great deal if you need this sort of thing.

Edit : Voucher gone.

The missing piece for portable computing is still battery storage. The exciting technology around carbon graphite has held my attention off and on over the years. It’s coming closer. That will truly revolutionise portables. We’ve been with old battery tech a VERY long time.
