Final piece of the puzzle came yesterday. 2 hours yesterday and 3 hours today on Jamulus so far. Mics all work great. Apollo Quad being fed with Unison preamps in play. Matched pair Rode NT55s with cardioid modules on.

And the Rototoms.

I decided not to just tack on to my throne thread. On Monday I said goodbye to my Roland TD17 KVX kit... and hello to this. Hendrix Bubinga 6 piece 2 up 2 down with Paiste Big beat cymbals mounted on a Yamaha hex stand setup. Last but not least I have a set of 6,8 and 10 original Remo Rototoms.

Great tune. Been playing it live on and off since it came out. Accordion use aside of course :).

I use Samsung evos and crucial mx500 SSD drives. Really can’t go wrong so far been fast and reliable. I do have a higher end nvme of some high end type as boot drive on the audio pc too. 2018 MacBook Pro has hard soldered nvme also I think. Once you’ve gone SSD whether it’s recalling sample (superior drummer 3) or audio, spinny disks are just dead slow. A spinny disk is still very large backup if you prefer local storage of course. Sometimes I do miss my old tape backup system lol...

Lots of us I’m sure :).

Definitely useable. Expensive but very comfortable.

I have version 13 that came with the suite.. guess I am at stand still until they get desperate again ;)>

My Studio One Pro 5.x has been doing duties as my mixing interface to Jamulus lately, not much else... I am really hating lock down more and more... when will it end?????

$299 to upgrade from Suite.. ouch, hard pass!!.

My specs are in my sig. I wasn't and I am still not, a fan of a PC for music, OSX Core Audio is still the best.. but, I gotta say, my audio PC is also very good for games LOL.

This should have been a big deal. The end result was nothing and a 10k GBP bill for the gear I recorded them with. Eric Haydock ( deceased) original bassist The Hollies, Peter Hughes and Mick Carroll Ritzi ( big hit with too much fandango in Australia), Graham Pollack and Mike Copson. Me kneeling in blue shirt. Middleton Manchester in my lounge 2000.

@Gswitz I actually have the EurekaProm 3.2 firmware in the FCB1010. It’s connected to the Eleven Rack. I then allow a loop in a patch and use the H9 app to control the 2 H9s on Bluetooth and the Timefactor on USB. It’s changed my whole approach to my electric guitars. And you’d be welcome,,,, hating locked down and locked out...

@Bapu because it weighs too much to move lol.

I dove deep. As someone who is predominantly an acoustic guitarist I avoided this after the 70s/80s. Now.... well... as you will see.. it’s a sad slippery slope. Omg they have come a LONG way.

I just got what is my second ownership of a Roc n Soc throne... OMG. I had forgotten how good these are.. and tan this time. What’s not to love?.

You should hear my drums through it on the master BUS! sensational.

Great video Zo :). Thanks for sharing.

One of the reasons I moved back to UK from USA. I love old history and taking photographs of it too.

Now I just need a 25 voucher to offset the VAT crap... and done.. thanks guardian angel ;).

And cost for those of us with the original.. I wonder...

I got this only because I also was able to use my $50 voucher on it. At £43 for me after exchange rate, it's a useful tool at a more reasonable price. And PA do them right.

I wupped a whole lot of stuff, got my discount, GBP is up, so all up it was £136 until March 2022 now. Considering I had stuff that ran out of cover in December, I'm good with that.

I find this sale disingenuous. Any is the wrong word!. Don’t get me wrong if there was something else I must have right now, it’s the time to get it... but seriously.

On average in the last 6 years iZotope has changed and continues to change the face of mixing and mastering. They’ve made it more accessible and provide class leading products. I personally have spent on average between 3-400 a year with them. If they offer me all I use going forward for just under 300 for all my usual products, I’m in :).
