Mesh

First time seeing this, but sure looks like a Swiss Army Knife for the audio world.....very nice price to boot.

Nice mate, which interface did you get?

Excellent tips Jim and will definitely do this. If there are any other general block setup's/templates there are your go to, would be greatly appreciated if you could share those. I've also been watching some of Jason Sadites videos and he nicely breaks it down on how he gets setup quickly. ....very interesting how he starts off with putting a compressor at the end (even before getting the amp and cab).

Absolutely Abby Normal.....either way though, don't eat the yellow snow.

Strummy ol chap, did you test out the Helix yet? I downloaded the demo last night and just went through some of the presets.....while some sounded very good, others didn't impress me that much. Mind you, I didn't really tweak anything and I was looking forward to hearing stuff like this vid below (some fantastic tones, especially the clean tones with fx), but didn't get it. He may have honed in the tones prior to the vid and not just using the stock presets IDK. Either way, I do need to spend some more time on this to get a good feel of it.

G'day mates!! Just anted to say, I had a Becan & Egg samich for breakfast and now I need a nap...

I kinda did this in a rush before running out the door to work.....the 500GB was just an after thought and a backup SSD. Hey, it's only money..... (said no one)

That looks good and Samsung's are solid. Interestingly, I got 2 Crucial SSD's this morning https://www.newegg.com/crucial-mx500-1tb/p/N82E16820156174 . The other one is a 500GB for $66. Just amazed at how cheap they're now....especially after getting my 1st 250GB Samsung for $250.

Watching/listening to that first video Trailer Walkthrough, I just couldn't get that same excitement that Conrad was trying to sell. Most of the sounds seemed dull and not so inspirational to me....YMMV.

It's all about the Jazz Bass.

Harsh, but fair.

.....and he doesn't make it any easier for those of us with insurmountable GAS.

The current cable I'm using is actually from Whirlwind (a gift from my good buddy Daryl1968 who works for them) and do like it a lot (a big improvement from the cable I've used for decades). Man, this music gear can be one huge rabbit hole that never ends... Truly appreciate the excellent tips and info Brian. Of course, I'm just a hobbyist musician and don't have the high end gear to justify these "top of the line" cables, but it certainly is very interesting and very useful.

Good morning all, I knew this Fred had a little something for everyone. Good work lads!!

I traded my UAD account awhile back (after having it for years) as I just couldn't afford/justify to keep up with their prices. Like the good King said "if I was doing this for a living"....it would be a different story. Great plugins with a great price tag.

Hey Bats, do you request/specify all the individual connectors (i.e. connector A, B, color boot, color ring etc...) from here: https://www.performanceaudio.com/custom-cables-1-4-ts-instrument-cable-made-from-canare-gs-6-neutrik-connectors.html or speak with them and tell them what you generally want? I have no idea about those connectors and wouldn't know which ones to pick...

FYI, I've only been 'overworked'....

Great info guys and very, very helpful indeed. Some of those high end cables are quite pricey and not sure if I can justify the purchase to my CFO at home, but will try to get something good that fits my need/price. Thanks Paulo for the link, it led me to their instrument cable site: https://www.wireworldproaudio.com/instrument.html#instcables https://www.wireworldcable.com/best-guitar-cables.html Very interesting technology, quality, and detail going into these cables.....definitely a worth looking into.

Cinematrix is really good.....$6 is definitely worth it!!

Thanks Notes, very informative!! I won't be using this for live purposes, but mostly in the DAW setting. Looking into cables that don't add any noise to the signal flow. Will definitely check out Pro Co.

All brothers and sisters.....Rocking Family!!

Very happy for you Lars....congrats!!

I'm looking for a good quality instrument cable (after seeing the video below around the 9:20 mark...Wirewell Cable). Did a search online for it, but couldn't find a dealer for it. What do you guys use and recommend? This video was also very informative.

Nice, nice, nice....I'm working on a solo project and got the intro & chorus down....twerking on the verse to fit the rest.

Going into Kontakt Hub is like getting stuck in a black hole and then I forget why I went in there in the first place....sooooo many good instruments.
