Simply not true! I used one of these cable with my $120 inkjet printer and found that the colors were 64% more saturated and true to life, the text was 47% sharper and there were 94% fewer misspellings in my documents by eliminating the RF interference of the digit being transmitted! When...

I don't know that it's a Mac/Windows thing. Other than the fact that I upgraded the OS, the rest of the system is the same. If the authentication is tied to the OS then upgrading can potentially kill it off. I had the serial number, but it said it was in use by "another user". No, it was...

If he's using ReaDelay, it's really easy to set it for infinite repeats. Increase the Feedback high enough and it will repeat forever instead of fading away as one would expect.

Tonight I decided to spend some time working on a project. I got to the stage where I thought some adjustment on the main bus would work for a better master. I have had a copy of Ozone 9 elements on my system since 2020. I don't use it much but I thought I would see if it gave me any...

Probably best you run the demo versions. Unless you know that it works, it's silly to blow money on something totally unknown.

I tried a few free programs. None was great, I did a fair amount of manual removal on a couple of albums. Audacity has some tools, but I felt they were mediocre. There are several commercial ones, some with trial periods.... VinylStudio, Izotrope Rx, ClickRepair are a few. I think I...

I doubt you can run a VST on the Roland any more than you could run MS Word on an IBM Selectric typewriter. VSTs are written to run under a particular operating environment. Windows VSTs won't even run under Linux natively. The Roland has a proprietary operating system, far removed from...

Red and yellow indicate USB 3.2 Gen 2 which is higher speed (SS 10) than 3.1, and supplies more power. I think the difference is whether it supplies power all the time or just with the computer is on (for things like charging your cell phone.) I've only seen a couple of computer with red...

AFAIK, you can run a USB 1 device with USB4. The spec says it's supposed to be backwards compatible. Of course you'll only get USB1 speed, so a limit of about 10MBPS. There are several different connectors, The original ones were type A and type B. Then they came up with the micro and...

Might have been... It was a LONG time ago. My buddy worked there when we started college. I remember he bought a pair of JBL L100s with the money he made at the store. He got the "employee discount" on the speakers and a Crown Preamp. I think he still has both. As for the console, I...

The last time I touched a Model 10 was probably around '71 when I graduated from high school. A local store was a Teac/Tascam dealer and a buddy worked there. They had a room set up with a mixing board, and a tape machine (don't remember which one). There was a tape that someone had...

Interesting.. I never encountered an HDMI that would only go one way. Maybe that was "before my time". I didn't go to HDMI for a long time. My flat screen plasma TV went 18 years, and it had component RGB and VGA inputs and I think there was 1 HDMI. I know that there are some USB cables...

Lighting will have a HUGE effect on the appearance, as will the viewing angle. And, where you get your gold paint makes a huge difference. I had to match quite a few "gold" inks over the years. There are a bunch of different grades of metallic pigment, and each has it's own shade and...

I once tried a very long USB cable with my 16x08 interface but it became a bit glitchy. I think it was about 12 or 15 ft. With a 3 ft cable, things are just fine. Oddly, the long cable worked just fine when I was transferring tracks from my AW1600. I'm not sure what the difference is...

As the song said... I second that emotion! I've got Linux on one machine and rarely use it. There are just too many programs that I use on Windows that aren't on Linux. I have Open Office (actually I use LibreOffice) on both types of machines, plus Reaper. Firefox is on both. But...
