I'm thinking of getting this: https://www.newegg.com/lenovo-thinkcentre-m83-business-desktops-workstations/p/N82E16883998897?Item=N82E16883998897 Will be installing a 1TB Crucial SSD to it as well as CbB (just for my children to play around with). The main use is for general purpose, but wondered if the 8GB of RAM/rest is enough for very minimal DAW usage (playing with a few synths etc..)? It's sitting in the cart ready to buy .

I listened to first and last versions and the last one translated very nicely on my headphones. Very nice performance and mix/production.....top shelf stuff!!

He doesn't know the meaning of sorted. He just goes with the random flow...

Thank you very much, but I don't need any plugin to destroy my mix.....au natural

Bapu's got some moves!!

That quacked me up.

Topical ewe say?

Friday's cover band....really good stuff on their other covers as well.

I only have Ozone 8 Advanced....my MPS3 upgrade spirit has been broken.

<finally puts glasses on and realizes there are 6 pages in this thread> I've got to stop just clicking on links and hitting BUY.

Looks like this deal is over? The link doesn't work.... Ensonced, I'm trying to get into the spirit of things, but we need good deals like this.

Hot off the press:

Anyone try this? TONE HUNTING You need that outstanding electric guitar tone you are hearing on your favorite album. So you bought an awesome instrument and a fantastic amp. Maybe you have also bought some beautiful stomp boxes, expensive rack units, and phenomenal microphones. Or you rather use some amp simulation plugins. But what? Your dream-tone is not there when recorded and mixed with the rest of the band? You are endlessly tweaking and tweaking your sound, you tried everything. No success. Why? Electric guitars can take a lot of processing. It’s because guitars can get a lot of attention to the music and for some genres are really crucial. So it´s very important to get the guitar sound just right. Guitars can fight with several layers of instruments clashing into each other. Or the recordings are sounding too sterile, thin or harsh. On the other hand, recorded guitars can sound too dark and muddy. So you need the tone that can cut through. The guitar tone has to be punchy and fat sounding, but it also needs to have a lot of clarity and tightness at the same time. But it’s not all! Even if the guitars are heavily processed, sometimes they still also have to be very natural sounding at some point. And that's why you need ToneSpot. LET'S TALK ENGINEERING FOR A WHILE, SHALL WE? When a professional audio engineer is building that awesome tone in the studio, he is often running it through some heavy lifting. Blending several re-amping chains with massive filtering, compression, equalization, saturation or even some multiband processing and maybe some other crazy stuff. And it is no secret that the top engineers often run the signal through their chains twice or three times in series until both the engineer and the artist are 100% satisfied with the result. So there is a lot of stuff to do when building a perfect electric guitar tone. There are very few products tailored for electric guitar instruments post-processing, but most of today’s engineers use a very similar workflow. STANDARD ELECTRIC GUITAR RIGS Mostly it’s not enough to run the electric guitars through a real tube amp or guitar amp simulation plugin to get the standards we are hearing on today’s records. At the end of the day, we need a ton of plugins that eat a significant portion of CPU power. And maybe we are still not completely satisfied with our tone. TONESPOT SOLUTION There is a simpler solution. ToneSpot is just one processor doing that magic. One missing product you need for every tube amp or simulation. It is a key to success full of tricks, extensive know-how and still with a lot of freedom. WHAT MATTERS? MUSIC OR SOUND? Both. Great musical ideas need great sound. The music industry changed over the years. The quality of sound and sound aesthetics often determine the success of the music. It’s not enough to write good music anymore. You need breathtaking sound to get attention. And... If you have an inspiring sound, you write and play better music. You have the ideas, we have the tool, so… Let's get inspired by the sound!

Shirley, you those have to be really high...notes on a melodic scale?

Someone say Suzie Q?

I'm still happy with O8A, think I'll stick with that (until BassDaddy says otherwise).

All this Alesis talk has killed this Fred!! We need credence to revive this bad water.

Excellent advice there!! Someone (probably Slartbartfast ) told me the same thing in the old Cakewalk forum when I built mine.

One too many nine's in that price tag.

Thanks so much Michael for all the details. I just might get this from APD using some of my rewards money, but will demo it first. I also have Obelisk which I really haven't got into yet.....will have to use it more to figure it out. Thanks again!!

Thanks Tezza, will give that a go tonight.

All valid points Ensonced and just about exactly where I'm at. Having both Bias Amp 2 and Fx2, I think I'll skip this and possibly wait for a no brainer price to upgrade to TH-U. Appreciate all the details and you saved me some money.
