    USB Extender over Ethernet vs. Active USB cable

    I get it, didn't get the answer you are looking for. Rob and I have built plenty of studios. Professionally, I've used every major USB extender there is. With the advent of the adoption of Teams and Zoom in the corporate environment, USB has been kicking our butts. With Corporate IT being...

    USB Extender over Ethernet vs. Active USB cable

    Might it work? Sure, depending on channel density. Add more traffic on one hub for a bunch of midi and keyboard and mouse? Find me one interface manufacturer that doesn't advise connecting direct to the computer. An active cable will be seen by the PC as a hub. Will probably work for a 2...

    USB Extender over Ethernet vs. Active USB cable

    I run a company that does AV installation. USB is an ongoing issue, especially with PC. USB 2.0 perhaps a bit less so, but USB 3 requires specific timings to be maintained and Icron has a patent on technology that allows for reliable extension. Even then, I run into issues with things like...

    How do you get the sharp and big sound from slowdive, mbv

    I don't know if you've noticed the trend where new members join, ask a question and never seem to return. I wonder why? These are people who just like us, didn't know crap and had to learn. This forum's intent was to be a place where noobs could get help and learn. I really miss what this...

    How do you get the sharp and big sound from slowdive, mbv

    Dude, why so hostile? You can't bash someone over the head and think you'll have any influence. I very much doubt I told the OP what they want to hear. If he reads the article on how MBV produced their album, it took 2 years to engineer. Instead of reverb, they layered more than a dozen...

    Confused about audio setup (mic+piano/keyboard)

    I would tend to disagree. Here is my rational. Music hardware these days is really good and not just relatively. The first home recording revolution was in the 70's spurred on by companies like Fostex. What is available today is miles ahead. When starting out, chasing the performance in...

    How do you get the sharp and big sound from slowdive, mbv

    What old school guys would call "turning up the suck knob" on purpose. It's common in a number of genre's. (amateur musicologist cap firmly on head) From the article I linked. "Upon Loveless’ release in November 1991, Kevin Shields feared that the album would be critically panned and that...

    Set up for Spontaneous Recording Takes

    I have a Stream Deck which I tried briefly and found key commnands faster. That's just me. I have a friend that does video production and uses Companion rather than the Elgato software. He can program some really complex macro's with it. Not sure of voice commnand though. Bitfocus.io has a...

    How do you get the sharp and big sound from slowdive, mbv

    Here is a link to a page that goes into detail on the sound of MBV. Sometimes mixing to get a specific sound requires some research. Engineering the Sound My Bloody Valentine

    How do you get the sharp and big sound from slowdive, mbv

    It's not that bad Rob. Pretty strait forward actually. Want to have a crack at breaking down the mix?

    Confused about audio setup (mic+piano/keyboard)

    On the Behringer, just consider that it comes with a DAW nobody uses. You can use any DAW with it as most interfaces will work with almost any DAW. My advice was to consider the DAW first and if the one you like costs money, to consider it in the overall cost of getting up and running. As to...

    Sound absorbing wallpaper (Sonic Wallpaper)

    While that may be the key phrase, the biggest indicator of snake oil is no numbers. Also they don't mention that bat echolocation frequencies start at about 11k. Apples to oranges comparison much? There has been more than a few of these "miracle" materials "discovered" over the last decade or...

    How do you get the sharp and big sound from slowdive, mbv

    A lot to unpack in 3 short sentences. If you are really at a loss to figure out why you are hearing, what you are hearing, perhaps take a step back and assess what your skill sets are. There is a phrase I like to use. It's mixing not fixing. So what are you mixing and do those tracks sound...

    Confused about audio setup (mic+piano/keyboard)

    You haven't mentioned what software you plan on using to record with. I would contend that it is the first question you answer before getting anything else. Ultimately you are going to be doing the work on the computer. Your picks are going to be free, bundled or will have to purchase...

    Confused about audio setup (mic+piano/keyboard)

    Didn't see that in the manual but here it is. If the OP has a Mac, you can create a aggregate device. PC you can only have one interface which would either be keyboard or audio interface but not both.

    Confused about audio setup (mic+piano/keyboard)

    Not without some sort of audio interface. To reiterate, the USB of the keyboard will not transmit audio. For audio, the back of your keyboard only has a headphone out and would have to use this to capture the direct audio from your keyboard. This is a left and right output. Mono would mean...

    Confused about audio setup (mic+piano/keyboard)

    Where to start? Keyboard I suppose. The USB jack is dual mode. It can either be used to transfer and backup files and if set properly, it can send and receive midi information. So this connection isn't going to transmit audio to your computer. You'll have to decide if you want to use a...

    PC Hard Drive crashed

    Sorry, it's just that no one here is going to have some super secret method of getting around some pretty basic requirements. Create an account using a solid email account. (never understood people who use work email for instance). As you are the forgetful type, consider something like a...

    PC Hard Drive crashed

    The download code will get you access to the software but you would have still had to activate the license. How was this done without an account? If it is a case where you just don't recall setting up an account, perhaps dig through all your email accounts and search for which one you may have...
