I know Stewart Tavener at Xaudia / Extinct Audio specialised in ribbon mic repair and restoration, and later their own product lines. He may not work on your mic, I don't know, but I bet he'll know someone who would at least.

If you're going to reply to year old posts perhaps you could contribute something useful?

The responses in this thread have been very constructive and while some of the info might be hard to swallow, I don't really see anyone being unkind. Would you rather pursue a flawed study and learn nothing, happily, or restructure the thing and learn something useful from it, having taken one...

I'm not sure the intricacies of your setup but every day I set my macbook on a shelf (under the desk) and plug in two USB-C cables, then I sit at the desk and use mouse, keyboard, two screens, and audio monitors. Nothing's falling out of anything. (y) I admire your interest in keeping old...

This is where you have to adjust expectations, in my opinion. You're running a 12+year old mac with an operating system that it "can't run" so you're already extending it well past expected life span. If the performance is pleasing to you that's great but why do you need the latest and greatest...

Would have been super helpful if I was the first to do it. Note to self - Read the thread first. :facepalm:

I isolated the right channel and trimmed intro only, so it's easier to focus on what you're talking about. All I really hear is layers of tape/equipment hiss, bleed from the acoustic, and a trace of the percussionist getting the shaker ready right at the end.

Hi, Are you talking about the menu under Setup > IO? I'm not sure if you're missing something or not but if there's ever an issue I just go in to the input tab and click defaults, then do the same for the output tab, then it's all good. I don't remember the last time I had to do that but I only...

Agreed. Brand doesn't really matter so much. As you say, durability varies so try to hold the thing in your hands and see how build quality feels. Some bend like a credit card and others are more tank-like. If you were running that 13 year old machine and getting along OK I'd even question...

Fair enough. Worth a punt!

If you're in the UK I'll take it for shipping. (y)

Fair enough. Yeah, it's one of those...It's a dinosaur but that doesn't mean it isn't still useful to someone. I have a Core2Quad + 750ti (2010 I think) windows box that I still run daily for some programming related work. It's headless - I just turn it on and it auto fires up an instance of a...

For sure. I have a fair bit of experience with these boxes so if you think I can help with anything just ask. (y) Just be aware that if you're doing rendering that can leverage GPU power, the test won't really tell you much with that Quadro in it.

Fair enough. That model wont take Sonoma without workarounds. I don't think it's particularly difficult to do but, just so you know, the machine wont let you just reinstall as normal. 6 core 2010 is about 1/5th the single core performance and less than 1/3rd the multi core performance of a base...

Is this a 2010-2012 5,1 model or a late 2019?

If you do need analog inputs and outputs then fair enough but it's unclear. Your other thread says "I was going to buy an Octopre for the added inputs" If you need both then the same applies X 2. Look for a device that has adat I/O and balanced line I/O which are routed as a/d d/a. Behringer...

I don't understand the confusion. You have an interface with 8 balanced inputs. You can plug in 8 (or four stereo) analog devices. If that's not enough your interface also has adat digital input for 8 more channels at 48k. Buy a device that has 8 line inputs and adat output, and now you've got...

It seems one of us is missing something. Why do the analog outputs matter on a unit where you're using digital outputs?

+1 to this. I replaced surrounds and crossover capacitors on a pair of early 80s hifi speakers a few weeks ago. As far as I'm concerned they're good for another 40+ years now. Unless there's corrosion on /debris at the coils (you'll know) or some other obvious damage or wear, I'd assume they're...

Click the timeline up top then edit>select all. If all of your tracks are in wave view that'll let you drag clip gain up/down for all tracks by the same amount in one move. If they need adjusted by different amounts per clip then, I guess, ignore this.
