Bapu

After realizing that I only have and use the headphones only version (my IK iLoud MTMs come with ARC built in) I will be upgrading ($39) to the new version just because.

My drummer friend hates the throne I have (mid range Gibralter) for my set in the studio.

With COVID I have not had to hear his complaint for over a year now. ? 

I used to tell him to bring his but he never did.

@Bapu you ever have the UFX misbehave? this was like a digital over in the cans that didn't show up in the recording.
I assumed, (there's that A S S out of you and me thing) I had a bad DAC...

Nope, not yet.

 so I don't think I could ever summon the energy to try and learn another system.

Or in my case the brains. That's why it's so easy to just bumble about in any DAW I own.

You could still learn the 2-Step you old bugger

And then the person you tagged gets a notification as opposed to having to stumble upon your untagged reply. ? 
 

The cool looking factor is there for sure Reid.

As a bass player and at €29 it's borderline must have. ?

when did you stop live performing

About 40 years ago. In 2009 I had a reunion jam with the band in our high school era. My ex-wife (high school girlfriend) stopped by to see the guys. That's about a 'live' as it gets. I much more prefer the recording approach, especially virtually.

Live playing was never much fun for me. You know the old joke: loads up thou$and$ in gear to drive 50 miles to make $50 (or less).

So what did you end up doing for a living and when did you stop live performing

I was already in the workforce in the field of materials management which led to computer programming ultimately. Still doing that today 45 years later.

Oh yeah,

Early days I played in a band with Burleigh Drummond (before he joined Ambrosia) and I played in a band with Chas Sandford before he became a producer of Chicago and Stevie Nicks among others.

I turned down the opportunity to audition for the reforming Uriah Heep, and then foolishly a fledgling act called Hall and Oats.

I shelled out for:

Studio One 5.x

Mixcraft 9 (PC Only, I'm less likely to upgrade in the future for more than $40 as the last upgrade was $30)

Samplitude 5 (PC Only, I will probably not upgrade any more)

Pro Tools 2020 Perpetual

Digital Performer 10

Cubase 11

Reaper (the cheaper pricing)

Mixbus/MIxbus 32C

Reason

Logic X (Mac only)

Would I shell out for CbB if it become paid for again? Not likely unless the re-entry cost was $99 or less and yearly version upgrades were $49. For what I use it for the locked down current version would be sufficient (just to create a tracking shell with markers for my CbB collaborators).

Looks like you should be future proof till at least April. ?

Uh oh, better pull out the CC to be ready.

I'm surprised you went with the Gigabyte HD 5450 Fanless Video. Jim's site indicates it's ok to use the embedded GPU. And I would imagine it's even faster than the 5450. I know my C/Gpu is faster than my old GeForce fanless.

I've been with that card for quite sometime. I was having troubles getting the resolution I like from the onboard GPU (2560x1600). I may try again one day.

Fixed.

Do I have sport a beehive hairdo to go to those forums?

Wow! Studio One runs on a Mac too?!

Man it's such a great DAW. I love it.

Yes it do and yes it is.

You just had to be different didn't you.

Yeah, I'm a square peg in a round hole.

Due to living/work from home conditions I use cans to record and mix.

I use SONARWORKS. It comes with profiles for my ATH M-50s and my STATUSONE. I also have a custom profile for a pair of Sennheiser HD-598s.

I also have the the Slate headphone system.

As well as the Ultimate Ears reference monitors.

I also use my HD600s to check the mix.

How many strings does a bass have? I only have so many fingers to go around.
