    pro tools crashing

    My pleasure. I'm in the same boat. With any luck we should be able to cling on to the versions afforded by that coverage for quite some time. Monterey (which I'm on) and Ventura are both good stable systems. Unless, for some reason, you really need the latest and greatest from Apple's updates...

    Hi, There's a compatibility chart you can refer to here. https://avidtech.my.salesforce-sites.com/pkb/articles/compatibility/Pro-Tools-Operating-System-Compatibility-Chart Long story short your PT version is only compatible with 10.13 / 10.14 / 10.15 and your operating system version is only...

    XLR caps?

    Your sockets look fine. Of course the whole cover is missing from mic/line B but apart from that it's fine. Those sockets are meant to accept a 1/4" plug, like a guitar lead, or an XLR as you have plugged in. The three points where the pins of an XLR connector would make contact are clearly...

    Mac & Burning CD's

    It can happen, sure. It's not really a mac/windows thing so much as a hardware thing. Some optical drives just don't get on well with certain brands or types of media.

    XLR caps?

    Yeah, seems overkill to me. I can barely remember the last time I cleaned any of my 1/4" sockets but I definitely can't remember the last time I needed to. If it's ever a problem get some contact cleaner on a 1/4" plug and work it in and out of the socket a few times. I'm with you, Rob. A much...

    XLR caps?

    Hi, I think I understand what you're asking. It looks like that unit has little flaps on the 1/4" / XLR input sockets, probably to protect against dust etc. This isn't very common - I've never seen it before anyway. Normally they're just wide open. If that's what you're describing and some of...

    SM7B - advice needed

    Hi, You can get more gain before the preamp by using something like a cloudlifter or a fethead. They're inline XLR devices that give a boost before the preamp, exactly what you want. However, I would try to figure out what this electrical whistle is first. If it's something the microphone is...

    What brand of motherboard, what processor, what video card should I be looking to buy to make this setup bullet-proof?

    Sounds like there's a chapter of this story we'll never know but I'm glad you're up and running. Health to enjoy it!

    Screen size in reaper

    Thanks for coming back to update this, Briam. I didn't have an answer for you but I'm glad you found the solution.

    Logic for iPad, what is the best interface to use for recording with an IPad.

    What firmware has the unit got? I'm reading that you can find out in the Cuemix app under Devices>Setup. Pretty sure that would have to be checked on Windows or MacOS but if it's older than V1.08 you can update, which may solve the problem. The IIc firmware update for MacOS can be downloaded...

    Acoustic Guitar Recording 101

    I think it's just file sizes and the accumulation over time. I suppose someone has to pay for that storage and in the vast majority of cases mp3's just fine.

    Who on this forum is the Mac software expert? I’m having file problems.

    I've heard of this happening when certain file formats were moved to FAT32 drives. Not with wav, though. Any chance they were some other format like SD2? Chances are it can be sorted out but I'd recommend taking a backup copy of the whole lot so if you try something, and it doesn't work, at...

    Better laptop

    I can understand it. PC troubleshooting threads really need specs and facts, and a methodical approach. The majority I see get there in the end by guess work more than anything. OP has satisfied himself that the CPU is the issue and, it seems, just wants confirmation that X cpu is better than...

    Better laptop

    Ok, the 6700 is a good deal more capable than a 6300u. It's a decent upgrade. Just take heed of the advice here, though. It's important to know what caused the problem in order to fix it. If your issue was the hard drive not being able to provide the samples quickly enough, or running out of...

    You can't really say "generation considerations aside. They were making 3.8ghz pentium processors in the year 2000. I don't think there is a 6th gen 2.6ghz i5 chip. It would be better to tell us the full model numbers of both cpus.

    Hi @maxman65 I don't think anyone can really tell you without specific model numbers for the CPUs. There have been 14 generations of i5 and i7 chips over about 15 years or so.
