Dunlop Jazz III here as well.

Define gentleman. A man who knows how to play the bagpipes. But chooses not to.

+1 I think I read recently where no less than Rob Halford said that Judas Priest's latest album was the first time he could stand the sound of his own voice. ROB f-ing HALFORD!

And if so, does your audience even care?

Seems like a really counterproductive business model: suing your customers for not upgrading. Maybe more and more photographers will start putting time and energy into GIMP. Already, a fair amount of people on the video side are jumping ship to DaVinci Resolve. $300. Blackmagic Design has yet to charge for an upgrade. And there is a free version that does probably 85% of what the full one does.

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.
