I have an aging laptop: Lenovo ThinkPad E560 Laptop, Intel Core i5-6200U 2.3GHz, - https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-ThinkPad-i5-6200U-802-11ac-Bluetooth/dp/B0178JBNMO - which I want to begin using for recording while travelling or when using the big kit is not convenient. The critter has only 4GB...

Near as I can tell, it Podium just never took off but was better than its profile would indicate. I'm going to download and run it while holidays allow. It seems to me well-featured, but I am not qualified to know. https://zynewave.com/podium-guide/

If someone could explain the difference, I would appreciate it very much. Thank you.

The software has Windows & Mac versions, the MAC was the default, and I missed that. I now have a Mac VST on a Win 7 computer. You can imagine how useful that is. Can someone please advise how I can get rid of that license installation in iLOK Manager and get the Windows license going? Thank...

That is, a laptop which has Win 10 on it from the factory? I'm not sure if it's an odd question, but I would not have put it past Microsoft to make a W7 installation impossible on a computer with W10 on it; or perhaps there might be technical limitations on new laptops which would cause...

... and while I'm at it, how much does one of your more ambitious projects take up? I'm mostly doing audio recording, supplemented by some VSTs. Thanks.

Is it possible to split a track - any track, but say a vocal track - into two, or three frequency bands, and then place those bands in various place across the stereo width, or even put them on separate tracks? Is there a plugin to do that? Thanks

I don't think that music should serve as an exercise program. I would like one, 49 keys, which does not require a strong touch. Are some brands better than others in that regard? What about Roland? Thanks.

Roland makes an interface, the Rubix44. A number of people have complained about this: "" ......the problem is that under Windows the interface will not work simultaneously with ASIO and Windows system sound; you have to unplug and replug, which is like a stone age solution. Why Roland did...

DO you use Kontakt's libraries? Which types? Do you make your own samples, or use samples from other vendors? What do you like or dislike about it. I have an old Kontakt, and I am considering upgrading to K 6. I am wondering how the current quality of the stuff is, and whether most folks...

I'm working out certain changes to my equipment and methods, and it occurs to me that perhaps moving stuff around from one drive to another is not as easy as ABC. Can all that licensed stuff simply be copied, or do some things need installing on a new drive or..... what? I'm not computerish...

I've not used Ableton and I think that I would like to use it at least experimentally and perhaps make it part of my work system (Studio One.) I would start with Intro version to see if I like it at all. I run Windows 7, so Live 10 and 9 are available, the latter at a store near me, boxed...

I have never used a pedalboard and know nothing about them. I am now changing my recording methods a bit and a pedalboard seems to perhaps be a good idea, rather than kicking a number of pedals around on a concrete floor. I am unlikely to use a pedal or pedals on each and every recording. I...

I will demo Reason as soon as I am finished some computer changes, but I would like to hear your wisdom on this. I've read a lot of posts on various forums, to the effect that Reason is only slightly better than a garden shovel for doing audio recording. Racks, automation, everyone loves it...

I've been sniffing around to perhaps update my DAW before recording season starts, and was disappointed to see that Pro Tools is strictly WIn 10. Thinking that I may end up updating my Studio One to the new version, 5, I had a look at it - and it's Win 10 as well !!! ARRRHHH. :mad: If I have...

I've never used Rewire, but am considering putting Ableton into my Studio One. I assume that one needs sufficient memory to run both DAWs at once plus Rewire, unless I misunderstand the nature of the thing. Thanks

Approaching autumn has me getting into recording mode. I use Studio One, but I'm going to spend a number of days with some other DAWs just to see if another workflow or style will jump up and love me. I'm going to demo Ableton, and probably Pro Tools, and I am wondering about Cakewalk. People...

......... requires users to be online when using, and data is saved to a Pro Tools server, not to the user's hard drive. ?? Does anyone use this? I can see possible problems, besides being a general annoyance.

About once a year I start sniffing around other DAWs, and it occurred to me that I have never taken Pro Tools for a test drive to see if the work flow agrees with me. After all, it's probably the most loved and hated DAW out there. Since the 'First' version is free, perhaps I might. The PT...

Plugin Boutique is offering Sample Magic's A-B reference tool for $30, it's on sale. I'm not familiar with such a tool, but from the description, I more or less get the point. Can someone here advise as to whether or not such a thing is really useful? Thank you.
