Yikes! We got out of Houston just in time. Not long after moving out to the sticks came the Memorial Day flood of 2015, the Tax Day flood of 2016 and then Harvey. Each time, we were stuck in because the creeks came up over the roads but the only thing that got in the house was mud the dogs tracked in. I often wonder what the hell possessed the Allen brothers to stop at Buffalo Bayou, take a look around and say to each other " you know, this swamp looks like the PERFECT place to build a city!"

Why on earth would Soundcloud do something like that? 48kHz is the standard for video. The standard for CD is 44.1 .

I've had exactly 0 problems with my 18i20 and the one time I dealt with support (it was operator headspace and timing) I found them extremely responsive and helpful.

Simple. Just put your anacrusis on beat 4 of the first measure and go from there.

Beato isn't talking about playing to a click. What he's talking about is quantizing everything and locking it to the grid. That & autotune.

Stevie Wonder didn't have a Linn LM1 in 1972. But no matter. Tracking to a click (or a drum machine for that matter) is not quantizing to the grid.

No one told Stevie Wonder about that. Or Prince. Or Phil Collins. Or Paul McCartney. Or John Fogerty. Lenny Kravitz. Dave Grohl.....

+ 1 Too much editing sucks the life out of a performance.

Have it. Have used it. Works for me.

The quickest way to get a million dollars in the music biz is to start out with two million.

Move away from the mike and use a pop filter.

It's all a bunch of superstition and it's bad luck to be superstitious.

IK has their mic room as well.

I don't think I would really want to open any of my old projects. ?

Ummm....

Why in God's name would you downgrade a Focusrite to a SoundBlaster? That would be like those idiots who take an $80K Mercedes S Class to the home, home, home of the $1 install to have some bootleg, BS car stereo scotchlocked in when the dang car COMES FROM THE FACTORY with a $2600 surround sound system that is custom designed for it. FWIW, I have no problems whatsoever with my 18i20. If you gave some information as to the nature of your issues, someone here might be able to help. Could be something as simple as a flaky USB cable.

Two words: Turbo Tax. And to make this thread music related:

Volume knob?

Not to be an ass, but using 10 year old, obsolete, unsupported software for starters. Aside from that, without more Information and possibly an example, we are all really left guessing.

I don't understand what in God's name makes a guitar worth 7 grand in the first place.

Record executives make lawyers and politicians look absolutely saintly by comparison.

Two words: room treatment. I'm surprised no one mentioned that yet. Until you have an at least somewhat accurate listening environment to mix in, it's like starting the marathon an hour after every one else does.

8.5?!?

Whenever I am gonna buy something new (I prefer to get most things used), they are my first choice.

Reiterating what has been said more than once already, having an audio example would be real helpful. It's about like calling up your mechanic and saying " My check engine light is on. What's wrong with my car?" Oh, any one or more of about a thousand different things.
