Very pretty! Great job, :)

Sounds like another world entirely! I can see the advantages and the appeal of such a set up. I do tend to find that when there is so much "stuff" and so many options and alternatives it can be distracting and counter productive, which is perhaps why I like things the way they are. There is...

More good information! Being an ignoramus who spends 8 days/week in a cultural vaccum, Adam is largely unknown to me and I will need to check him out. Thank you! :)

Thanks Jimmy, that's excellent information. :)

Thanks very much, that's very interesting. 8" is sounding like the way forward. In our old studio in the 1990s we had a pair of Mordaunt Short near fills and a pair of rather directional Tannoys for far fills. Standing at the desk to mix you'd hear mostly the MSs, then when you took big stride...

Thanks for your thought, truly appreciated. 1) Yes, I wholeheartedly concur. 2) I'm beginning to think the KRKs may not be the best option, despite the funky yellowness. 3) That's extremely useful information, thanks! :)

Oh yes, the acoustics of the old room were definitely dreadful! Improved somewhat with an assortment of remnants, but still not good. It was only one small room, the back bedroom in my old flat. Nowadays the control room is pretty good. The sound in there is nice and dead. All the walls and...

Great recommendation, I'll compile a few and build a budget and then try to make a good decision. I found these as well, which are on offer just now.... hope this link is legal here... https://www.thomann.de/de/jbl_308p_mkii.htm

Thanks very much for your thoughtful response, very much appreciated. Everything you say here makes complete sense, especially "you can't mix what you can't hear" being almost certainly the main issue. I don't own a pair of decent studio speakers. The JVCs are as good as it gets. There's a pair...

Thanks, I really appreciate it! I've had this version of Cubase since rebuilding the studio in 2008. Funnily enough, in the old studio we had a TSR-8 and I still have the reels we recorded back then, although I don't have such a machine now and goodness knows if one will ever turn up. Life...

Yes, thanks again. As previously mentioned I don't have the resources just now for the latest Cubase. I'll need a newer computer and a new OS and the full works really. Maybe someday I'll get an upgrade, but for now, the system must remain, however bonkers that may seem. Started out on Cubase...

Loool! Thanks very much! As it happens, I do quite like it, I'm well used to it by now and my plupper is indeed profoundly nurgulated. Ask my daughter. She knows.

Lol! Thanks very much for your answer, and yes, your memory of SX3 is very good as that's the way I roll when this needs to be done. It's not such a big deal as I can usually find a way around most things, I merely wondered if anybody here had any cunning strategies that I hadn't tried. It's...

Well, there's a very long story there, the one-paragraph version of which is here: https://homerecording.com/bbs/threads/the-journey-of-the-engineer-i-want-to-hear-your-story.338786/post-4671609 - but the short answer is "if it works, don't fix it"! I like the idea of making an fx channel. Not...

Yes, thanks! I've been doing that and sometimes it works ok. Wondering if there's something cunning that somebody does that I don't know yet. Always worth an ask! :)
