Notice that for every thousand there is a freebie...not "1 behind" Oh I see now, according to this, they owe us one extra freebie then ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of which, there were more signups by noon today than all of yesterday, but the (significant) blip seems to have... um, unblipped in the last couple of hours: Seems a fair chance the September ride is going to be all roller-coastery throughout.

If it doesn't work, I have another measurement mic I can use (but not calibrated). Noice! And I thought I was the only tightwad in this forum ?. I bought the same mic, and it works great with *ARC-3. Looking at the specs, I think it has the same transducer as just about every <$100 measurement mic. * Here is the fine print- It is an electret mic that needs @5 volts, so it will work straight in to your phone or PC. Alas- I could not get ASIO4ALL to allow input from one device and output to a different one. I think that may be an "ASIO" thing. So now I needed to plug the mic into my Focusrite (where my speakers are). I bought this https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L42PBY5 to adapt the mic to XLR AND drop the 48volts to 5 for the mic. Now we are at about $45 with our money saving adventure (high sales taxes here). ONE MORE THING- you need to make sure your headphone adapter for TRRS 4-pole 3/8 input has a three pole 3/8 MIC output to go into the XLR adapter. A lot of "headphone" adapters ignore the mic out. I had the adapter already, or the cash outlay would be another $5 or so. If you feel like soldering and have an old XLR cable to sacrifice, you could make a voltage drop mod with one resister and one DC blocking cap. I didn't have a sacrificial cable so I took the easy route. Good luck and PM me if you hit a snag. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abacab Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 (edited) Well at the current tier, I have 5 freebies that I can never use (since I already have all the titles in the list), so ... I'm going to start guessing how many unusable freebies I will have if we go much further, LOL! Too bad we cannot convert all these to Jam Points or something! ?

Fortunately, my main music computer is a Mac, but I do have Windows computers as well, so good to know. Have you tried using the non-ASIO driver (I'm thinking the latency doesn't matter, but I don't know). Edited September 2, 2021 by ALC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Blanc Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Right, new freebies, not shure what to get. I'm not interested in any of the Amplitude, MODO or other guitar stuff. I could go for Philharmonik 2 CE. What would that give me what Spitfire's Albion One and BBC SO does not give me? Or what about the Space Delay. I'm a sucker for Roland, so... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Blanc Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 2 minutes ago, chris.r said: The Sampletank GUI. So...soundwise nothing? Because I really like the Spitfire lay-out (in their own app and the Kontakt lay-out). And the ST lay-out is a bit confusing to me, but that could be because I'm not used to it.

Eusebio Rufian-Zilbermann Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 If I already have T-Racks 4 Max and T-Racks 5 CS, what are the advantages in getting "regular" T-Racks 5? is there anything besides the Classic EQ and the "non-full" metering? (is there some "full version only" feature like it happens in Amplitube where the new impulse response features are available if you have the full version but unavailable if using the CS version?)

Jacques Boileau Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 3 hours ago, Doug Rintoul said: Question...I got the ARC 3 software thinking I could pick up the MEMS mic for cheap using Jam points. But shipping to Canada costs almost as much as the mic itself. I live close to the border and would normally ship it to a US address, but with the border still closed... Any of you other Canadians have a source for a measurement mic that won't cost an arm and a leg? This will do a great job I am sure. It comes with a calibration file. Check if the price is right for you. It is from a Canadian store near Montreal. https://solen.ca/products/electronics/test-equipment/dayton-audio-emm-6-electret-measurement-microphone/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
