My son has one with the 15 buttons on it and he raves about it. When he told me about it and sent a pic, then explained that you can make your own icons... yeah my mind started wondering... could I use this?

Now they have come out with knobs on it... this makes it much more useable! Yeb, another hardware purchase maybe on the horizon. : )

Obviously, just by the nature of it, you get more perspectives on different speaker sounds and how the mix translates with those selections.

Yep.

It does help me to get my mixes to sound better on a variety of stuff.

Used one of those programs to get a few songs ready for cell phones and it worked pretty darn good. Much better than I expected.

HW purchase

Most of my purchases this year have been hardware.

everything that was available to  click on to work. 

Yep.

DP.

Hadn't had one of those in a long time!! 

When I built my machine a few years ago I went with 1tb for sample drive, never ever thinking I would use it all.

Sample Tank 3 and 4 take up most of it. 

Yes, they are regular internal desktop drives.

Not all systems are compatible with dual sided M.2 drives, hence the question I suspect.

It’s more common of an issue with laptops.

Yeah I made the assumption he was asking about internal ssd. 

Well it's  just like the other products from IK, UAD, and others (that I can't think of right now) were you can mix on your headphones. 

The idea is that you can use a profile of your headphones and then chose which "mix room" you want to mix in.

With the results depending on the quality of your headphones and your mixing skills. 

IK has ARC and Lurssen Mastering, but neither have many headphone profiles at all.

Another company makes a product that has more headphone profiles and is pretty popular. 

Gimmick? Depends on what your looking for. Authentic room sound? Or just some good help.

I have gotten good results with ARC, UAD Oceanway, and Waves NX Virtual Room.

Like Leandro said, the Waves NX suite offers something the others don't,  that "head tracker" that helps make the mix experience more immersive.

This is a 3.5” drive so not an M.2 drive.

Oh... ok. Now I understand!

Listening to them now.

Just under $52 over at everyplugin.com

You get all the NX studios with it. It also has a lot (250+) of headphone profiles too. It has both my AT and my AKG headphones!!

That's a very good bass player!!

I also found this on the Newegg app:

Anyone know if this is a single or double-sided  drive?

As in two sets of chips with one set on each side of the circuit board?

Or with chips being paired together?

Or are you thinking there is platters?

Not understanding the question.

Cube Mini installed!

And how does it sound?!!

We have all figured out it's worth the ten spot!!

Nope, There use to be this code that worked and it wasn't about upgrades.  

There still is a code... for WUP!!

But Koby at everyplugin.com has this Ren Max deal for $29!!

That's just a little under $3 per plugin!!

Which is a no-brainer.

basically built my own DAW with it and I can't imagine leaving it for anything

This is what I was going to do when Gibson bailed on CW. I had S1, (and I still keep it updated), but I liked the option of making the DAW the way I want. I was neck deep in the Reaper manual when Bandlab resurrected CW. 

I stick with CW because it's easy for me. I just know it so well. And they have been improving it too. 

So IMHO CW is the best bang for buck, with Reaper a very close second.

Wondering the same.

Don't they have a code that reduces it more?

Yes they do. Go to you Waves account and select the upgrade you want, then you can get a code to send to Koby over at everyplugin.com and get a great price on it. Better than what Waves will give you.

Still might make a pick just for fun......

Back in the day we would take milk jugs and cut out a pick from it. Depending on where you cut; middle was thin; top was thick, and bottom was heavy.  Then we would chew on them for a few days. It would give them "texture".

Used imitation tortoise shell at first. Then found them blue flexible picks and used them until I found a .73mm Yellow Tortex. Used them for years. Then several years ago I switched to a John Petrucci pick.
