I use one of these (although mine is the older Gen 2). Gen 3 was only released recently, I've used Focusrite gear for decades, unbeatable in my view and yes, I use this for vocal and acoustic guitar work both DI and mic.

Hope it helps

Top notch as always Nigel, I expect nothing less. ????

Andy

@tiyaf Really, you've quoted my entire post just to insert a scam link - as if you think I'd miss it.

Get lost!

I've been taking a break from posting on these forums recently (but dipping in occasionally),  a song from you was always going to tempt me back.

I was always impressed with Roger's work (beautifully understated). This is fabulous, and a first class tribute.

Well done.

Andy

Nothing to see here

As a fellow guitarist, I appreciate your craft, very enjoyable listen. Some wonderful chord changes in there.

Andy

Guitar sounds just a little forward in the mix to me and I'm picking up some ever so slight distortion on the bass strings (but that could be these earbuds instead of my usual over ear headphones).

Nice work with lyrics on this, as well as your usual song craft.

Andy

First song in a decade eh? You really should do this more often. ?

Great stuff

Andy

Nice chill to this - as always took a few twists and turns I didn't expect ? 

Andy

Definitely prefer the remix - some excellent chops on show - very cool.

Great track

Andy

I like the nice simple arpeggio guitar on this track - a killer lead and BGVs as always - another great track there Rex.

Andy

Agree with Tom - the drums could be cleaner - harp and guitars sound just great.

Nice job.

Andy

Another vote for bricks and mortar here, never done it any other way. I've bought my last three guitars from the same store (it's a 60-mile round trip for me), the buying experience and after sales is second to none - I would simply never go anywhere else.

A mate a mine is an avid guitar collector and buys almost all of his guitars online and on eBay, he's rarely had a problem but he's on first name terms with his local guitar tech. ?

Hi ? Andy, thanks, glad you like it. This is my Lag  acoustic/electric plugged into a zoom ac2 di’d.  As far as anything is really original, this is my attempt at it 

Rik

In that case, extra kudos to you.

I don't suppose you'd be up for sharing the dots or tab - I wouldn't mind a go at it - sounds like a challenge.

Great work

Andy

It has quite a rubato feel (which I quite like), it's easy to overcook the tempo changes, good tone and technique on those gliss notes.

What guitar is it out of interest and did you mic it or DI?

I like the  harmonic to finish ? is this an original composition? 

Andy

Can't see my user profile or messages any more on the mobile site but I'm sure it will come back.

You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs. ?

Overall, I like it. ?

Mesmerising to watch (those triplets ?) - this is perfect as it is.

Really enjoyed that and the piano sound is gorgeous btw. ???

Andy

Very classy that Nigel - sounded great and the video work was very impressive indeed.

Andy

Opening reminds me slightly of Fool's Overture by Supertramp.

There's a lot to enjoy here - all 12:43 of it ? - loved the vocals and harmonies as well as the guitar work. Must have been a lot of work - well done.

There's people still using windows 7 and XP that I know of.  Even if support ends for those systems doesn't make them useless.

If your afraid to use the internet after support ends, get yourself a Raspberry PI zero, set it up as a internet firewall and put it between your old computer and the internet for protection.

It doesn't make them useless but it does increase online risk. I don't recall saying I was 'afraid to use the Internet'.

I've worked in cybersec for 25 years, so I know my way around PCs, networks, firewalls and patching risks, thanks. I can make my own judgement calls on whether I want to continue using an unsupported OS.

Cheers all the same.

Andy

I think I'm done with plugins for a while. I need to replace my ageing laptop when Win 10 goes out of support but I'm milking every last ounce out of it before I do.

I've been looking at potential suppliers of a replacement and they seem extortionate for a dedicated music PC, so not sure where I'll source one yet.

Meanwhile I'd better hope that contract extension comes through... ?

Andy

Beautifully done - very enjoyable - stunning photos btw.

Andy

Jesse only you could have written and performed that - and carried it off quite so successfully - well done. As Tom says: funky, disturbing and very likeable for sure. ?

Andy

Lovely mix, guitar tone is sweet and the vocal is extremely good. I hope you find your duet partner to complete the song as you intend - please post a version if you do.

Great stuff

Andy

Just terrific work all round - really enjoyed this
