It's true stereo. There's no trickery or fac simile involved - It's stereo.

That's what it is. That's the foundation of mid-side. The lower your centre mic (or higher the sides) the less natural it will sound. If the centre mic is brought right down to the point where it's barely contributing, you're literally just hearing opposite polarity signals in each ear.

Hi, I tested out your wav files and everything works as it should. I do notice that when you're at the left hand side (face of the Cad mic) you're nowhere near as strong sounding as when you're at the right/back. That could just be that you were closer to the mic when you did your right...

The .kext file will be included in the installer. Just download it then right-click the .pkg and choose "Show Package Contents" Navigate through that and you should find the kext, probably in a /system/library/extensions structure. From memory you'll need to put the kext where it goes (/S/L/E)...

The drivers are still available from Alesis but it looks like the last officially supported MacOS version was 10.8 Mountain Lion. (V3.5.6) Alesis downloads link.

The best advice I can give is to watch a video tutorial on compression for some plugin that has a visual representation. Avid Dyn3 has got it. I think some of the waves plugins like C1 do it too. You see a diagonal line representing your compressor's impact on the sound and, in real time, you...

Ok. This ^ is the important question then.

I don't think I can really give you a straight answer, I'm afraid. Rolling back to an early version of MacOS is free but can be a bit of an upheaval if you're not familiar with the process. Upgrading to a newer version of Protools is probably quite costly, unless you happen to have an active...

Hi, I also have a Focusrite Scarlet interface. I set it as my playback device for all audio and systems sounds, and my speakers and headphones are connected it. That way any and all sound coming from the computer goes through monitors and headphones. Is that not working for you?

Hi, 2022.12.0 isn't marked as compatible with Sonoma, so you'll want to either roll back MacOS to Monterey/Ventura, or upgrade Pro Tools to 2024.3.

There's a number of ways you can go but if backing up is the goal then decide if network access is important, because that determines whether or not you need to dedicate a whole computer to it. If network access is important then do what GainBrain said. Won't be the fastest solution in the...

To be honest I'm inclined to agree. I could see some edge cases where there are compatibility issues between some software and Intel integrated graphics but, to be fair, you can get that with any graphics. A modern machine should be more than capable of home recording duties, even with...

I didn't see any update in the previous thread to suggest you'd tried decent quality media. There's every chance your player just won't play any home-burned CD-Rs but testing with cheap media isn't the way to find out.

Internet forums are littered with countless instances of people asking for CD-R burning help only to come back later and say "I burned at a lower speed and that worked". If you chaps have some data about an optimal speed I'll certainly take it but, for now, our OP is struggling to successfully...

Fair enough. Thanks for the info, Farview.

Sure but if you're troubleshooting going to the lowest speed isn't going to make anything worse.

Get good quality media from a reputable brand (verbatim, for example). Aim for 650MB rather than 700, if possible. Burn at the slowest speed possible. Make sure disc is finalised after burn process. Make sure Disc-at-once burning is ticked. Use reputable software like Toast or Nero for burning...

Hi Brian. It's telling you that it can't create that file because the target drive, or path, doesn't exist, is unavailable, or is in use. That probably means either your D: drive isn't mounted or a 'Guitar Man.wav' already exists and is open in another application.

Hi and welcome to HR! I'm not familiar with that software but this video seems to cover basic setup and usage.

It's an interesting discussion to have, for sure, and, of course, it's OK to make the point or ask the question. I think, like so many things, it probably comes down to honesty and open communication. Every tool or service or technique will have its haters and its supporters but, ultimately, as...
