I have ProQ4 and sometimes use it live so it can give me a frequency guide to adjust my hardware EQ to while tracking and haven't heard any latency. Isn't there a setting on the bottom where you can switch ProQ to zero latency? I don't even know if that's a function related to live use. But...

Haha, classic.

By the sound of my rubbish I'd say I'm looking at a mixing window of about minus 10 minutes.

Recently have heard a Samsung from around 2018...dull, muddy, like from behind a wall...and 2 Lenovos around 2 or 3 years old. Same sound...dull, muddy, ill defined. My HP, like I said, is really quite decent. It's present and seems balanced ok. Was just a surprise to me as having been on my HP...

Interesting. I have this HP laptop and the sound is pretty ok as far as laptops go...crisp but not harsh etc. Decent. But in the last couple of weeks I've had 3 other laptops in my house fixing or setting them up for family. And all 3 have terrible, muffled, muddy, ill defined sound. It's very...

Beauty, thanks.

I'm trying to record an amp playing a clean tone playing plenty of chords with open strings up and down the neck in a very moderate paced song like 90bpm or so. Open strings are mainly the b and the e but the low e is involved here and there. Whatever. Anyway, I seem to be able to get a result I...

I got new hifi speakers recently. Well my first hifi speakers. And this mix fills out nicely on them. My mixes sound awful on them. Anyway, I believe he just did it to see what he could do with the tech. He isolated the tracks from a stereo master I think. So he ended up with however many...

Awesome. These kinds of arrangements...who you know...are great.

All I'm saying is $1399AUD is a LOT of money.

I might just have to settle for using my Katana 50mkii. There's a setting in the PC software called NS that suppresses noise. Flick that setting and all hiss and hum disappears. You're left with a clean amp that takes pedals well. I can't be bothered diving into a million settings dialing in...

You bet. Here in Australia over the years I've become familiar with many guitar techs. They all charge like wounded bulls. That's why I ruled a line through them all and started learning myself 10 years ago and doing my own guitar work. I've made one or two trips to guitar techs since and they...

Yeah I hear that. In Australia the cost of repairs or restoring amps would be incredibly high. I'm not economically minded enough to know if it's just because we are so far away from the rest of the world or any of a million other economic factors, but prices are steep here. A Tonemaster Delux...

One other thing about my tube Champ is that I can't even really crank it to "tube breakup". Anything above 3 on the amp is just too loud. That was one of the reasons I was thinking about a Tonemaster. Nice to have slightly older tube amps but, yeah you need to be able to give them some vol. The...

These kinds of guitar/ amp techs don't exist in Australia. Here, everyone savagely gouges you.
