Welcome to the forums, Tom. I don't use Windows or Ableton so can't really help directly, but I'm no stranger to troubleshooting and anyone offering help will (should...) want more details about your issue. 1: What exactly do you mean by crashing? Take a screen shot, or clear photograph, of...

You can. Your OS will have a disk management section where you can format, erase, create partitions. There usually isn't a need to do that with a new computer as the computer is likely to come with a fresh install of whatever OS, and, if you wanted to install a different OS, choosing a...

With a 10 year old tower you could probably throw a ball of paper and hit a faster computer but... I agree with Talisman. A quick glance at CPUBenchmark.net or a similar site would be worth it. That particular site is easy to use and allows you to flag CPUs for comparison, laying them out in an...

Nah, install programs on the main drive just as normal. No change there. I try to keep my OS drive small and light - Just OS and applications, really, and always make sure I have a bootable clone of it. There's plenty of free cloning software. Macrium Reflect, for example, and a spare 256gb (or...

Often, from the factory, new drives are shipped without a Partition Map/Scheme/Table or partitions so your computer will see the hardware and know what it is but there are no volumes or anything to display. You can't use it in that state. Most operating systems will pick up on this and ask you...

Sticking to the simplest option, for now, that's a shame about your smartphone. Is the same true if you try to record a short clip of just normal level talking? Perhaps the issue is with the app. I think most have something built in for voice memos. Is that the case with yours? Edit: Sorry, On...

Hi, If it's literally just to listen back to, or catalog, your practice, you may already have something that can do the job. Do you have a smartphone? Most will have an audio recording app built in, or downloadable, and should let you back those files up to your computer. Failing that, if your...

Yup, very handy little thing to have. I remember doing the same thing with my 2011 Macbook Pro. Even back then an optical drive was pretty much useless to me. An extra SSD over sata was way more useful.

Valid point. It's been a while! ;)

Good advice here. Seems unlikely but if the data is some proprietary format or otherwise difficult to process it's possible you could emulate the computer and software that he used quite easily. I'll not go in to detail here as that's an unlikely plan B but emulation of 80s systems is very...

Hi Mike @captainL Welcome back! I can't help much with beats or Cubase but if you're looking for a GPU to be able to run two screens then knowing your pc specs would help a bit. Do you know the CPU and/or Motherboard model number, or the PC model number if it's off the shelf? You'll need a...

Well, that's the reason I suggested just enabling SMB1 on Windows 10. It's the simplest of all possible solutions. Whether your NAS drive would work (maintaining your data) plugged directly into a computer...I can't answer I'm afraid. If it's a single drive then raid wont be in play but there...

It sounds like you either need to make the Nas support SMB2 or make windows support SMB1. The latter is what I've described.

This might be the rare exception where following the link would have helped. :ROFLMAO: There are instructions for enabling SMB 1.0 in windows 10 that you can try. In Control Panel, select Programs and Features. Under Control Panel Home, select Turn Windows features on or off to open the...

I'd strike out the probably. The more recent m chips may leave the original M1 in the dust on paper but it's still an extremely solid chip. I'm still on the 4 year old M1 macbook air and can't imagine what I'd have to be doing, audio wise, to make me even consider an upgrade. At this stage I...

It's entirely possible the shortcut is different on MacOS. That should be documented somewhere. I'm afraid I don't know off the top of my head. Not sure if it's helpful or not but I want to select multiple sequential clips in the timeline, I use grabber tool, click the first / left most block...

Same as the old Todd. ;) Welcome, Todd.

I agree with this. Personally I'd pay the hundred bucks for a machine that's four years younger, has built in Wifi, and shouldn't have issues going to windows 11, but those things may not matter to you. The performance differences between the two machines is, in my opinion, negligible. The only...

Power/performance wise, there's no reason an SFF computer shouldn't do the job. As with any other computer, just be aware of the spec, CPU model number and quantity of ram. Don't fall in to the "oh, it's i5..that must be good" trap. Be sure of the model number of the CPU and find out where it...

Thanks for sharing the clip. The first thing I'll say is your singer is clipping at various points. A good example is the word "called" at around 0:26 - That harsh distorted sound you hear. Just dial the gain back on your audio interface until that doesn't happen any more. I think singing right...
