If I produce my own music here in the UK, then I get 100% of the Performance rights and 100% of the mechanical rights, but if I produce an arrangement of somebody else's songs, then I go down as arranger and usually it's 50% to the person who wrote the song and 50% to me. I'm doing some...

My long extended USB cable has gone. Since I did it, I got occasional random loud cracks, and the more complex a project was the cracks got more common - never did this with the short USB. I was also noticing a high noise floor. The interface connected to an amp in the rack, and then long cables...

The killer for macs is sample libraries - what seemed OK just a few years ago has got tricky because the people who make the sample libraries are making them bigger and bigger. With macs, you can add external drives but internally, nothing seems upgradable, so your buying choice is dependent on...

I thought we were talking about KEITH Harris, sorry.

I'm smiling a little at the different perspectives folk have. I'm remember tube designs from the mid 1970s-early 80s when I was just qualified and in TV, where I went first, valves were things we wanted to get rid of. The heat, the distortion, the shortish life were negatives, and I was rather...

The spitfire spiccato strings aren't any resource ‘special’ but they usually come with fast chords, so its worth running a disk speed test. If things are not held in memory, the machine might be trying to load the samples and play them and not making it.

Ok pop them in the post and i sort it!

This has become a very useful topic - you tried all sorts with the Rodecaster, but the conclusion was that it was the mic - which none of use really expected it to be. Great you fixed it.

Seriously, ALL the broadcasters and big studios over the years dealt with smoke. Apart from the stink, smoke doesn't do much really. As I do loads of live work, I've used nice mics in haze filled spaces and never thought about it - and stages get slimy as the oil in the haze eventually lands on...

Sadly, a Faraday cage is only good if you can prevent the RF getting in through the cables and metal pipes going into the isolated space. Mesh on windows is also awkward, but the worst thing with total screening like this is your phone won't work! The thing with physical screening is that it...

No i meant you might find my bits useful, its beyond repair.

Did you find it close? I must admit I still turn to it - perhaps it's my playing, but it does sound like me!

I'll post a picture of what I have and you can see what I have done to it!

I hate the half pushed in solution, so damn unreliable if you stand any risk of knocking them. I'm actually in oulton broad, so could knock up a set for you - just let me know.

If you've managed to get USB into the closet, and your interface works fine, then maybe a streamdeck to operate the DAW functions would work too?

First question is to ask if you actually use the inserts for anything. If you don't, then it's very easy. The insert jack plug, when inserted uses the tip and ring connection to get audio out, processes it then stuffs it back on the other connection - a straight out and then in. You just make up...

With RF interference like this, it could be best to contact first the FCC. In the UK, we have OFCOM, and they have an understaffed and underfunded department who are real experts at this sort of thing - but, residential 'victims' are low down the pecking order. Interference to essential services...

We lost the pay extra for payment type years back, although we kept minimum on cards - so you couldn't use a card for low price items, but here in the UK, nobody under 30 seems to use cash. I was in the supermarket and near the tills were the usual approaching sell by date items. I saw some...

I think it's that we've all got a fixed perception if common mics, which might be wrong. We are looking at 'labels' - as in X is dull, Y is bright, Z is thin and W is bassy - DrTechno's comments made me wonder a bit if people can hear the things we give the labels to? So a pretty simple task -...

If I do the mic comparisons, do you have a suggestion as to which of these available to me I should use - I've also got a behringer 1820 and somewhere an old Lexicon Omega, if either of those jump out (good or bad) plus a pair of Behringers = x32 and x32 rack sitting in the store. I know they...
