I'm not certain there's even an expiration date anymore. W10 received such a lackluster reception that MS might've gotten slack on it. Not everyone went W10; many W7 didn't even want W10; and a few had it taken off. After all, the CPU still wears a license code for W7 so it's easy to...

what a great clickbait title. It soon turns to something totally unrelated.

Pretty much anything you end up with is gonna be a snake of some sort. So whether you build/spec a particular cable or simply lace some cables as a harness, it is the same. Were it me I'd build it, BUT I have all the tech and tools req'd. Granted, not much is req'd for cable fab, but it's...

"Buy Once, Cry Once" Spend what it takes the first time -- if a guy can.

Uh-oh... you mighta cracked open a can of worms. I was once of your opinion... until i built an iso booth. Then I wondered how i ever got along without one.

Reading what little I have, I wonder if anywhere during the process, you ever used the words "studio" or "business"? I've found that the Mafia-model of government we have is keen to tune in on revenue streams. If they think you're setting up a money-making entity, then they want their piece of...

Reaper. Cubase. Nuendo. Reason. Fruity Loops. You name it... notta lotta diff. Notta lotta diff, that is, because it's the Plug-In that does all the work. You want strings? You might wanna load up Vienna Strings. Now, which program makes that sound more like strings? They all sound...

Not surprisingly, that makes all kinds of sense. Good call.

REAL hi-fi speaks, like audiophool quality, are single driver with no crossover. They also go for crazy prices. (I'm more of a 3way man, myself -- must be a throwback) EQ correcting speaker phase divergence is a lot like running into a curb to fix your front end alignment. Like you say, it...

When i see things like that, I always think of the Turbo-Encabulator. There's a good video on it.

I'm not trying to play pile-on, but in my tiny brain, if it's Hi-Fi, then there is no equalizer. An EQ introduces artificial responses. It intentionally changes the sound. How is that retaining or reproducing any Fidelity? All the above comments are true. I'd go further, pretty ordinary...

My favorite 88 key controller is and has been the Yamaha KX-88. Cons: big, heavy, old, and fewer features. Pros: great action that does not wear down and fall apart even after a LOT of use over MANY years. And they're cheap, these days. Yamaha updated it and called it KX8 or K8 or something...

AH, okay. If I'm understanding you correctly, you're not dealing with what we'd strictly call a 'monitor'. These RCA crosswiring schemes are consumer speaker techniques to add spatial feel to the sound. They take a little from this side and send it to that side and vice-versa. So there's...

"Yoots" I stand corrected. :-) Ponder 5 <---oh, yeah, you blend

Same here. I learned my lesson the hard way. So I have about 20 feet of rack space with more-or-less worthless gear in it. Nope. Not gonna try to sell it. Been down that road. I'll keep my ear to the ground and see if there's some energetic youth that wants to make some noise. Or I'll get...

Perhaps your money is better spent on a good soldering supplies and some rudimentary diagnostic tools like a volt meter. You're gonna need stuff like that anyway just to maintain the many connections your studio will someday have. Most probably, you could take the connectors apart; use a...

I think that's a fair statement. Hey, if I had the bucks, I'd still be running 2inch reels of tape on Otari 24 tracks. Then I'd have 2 or 3 synched. I'd have techs and helpers and another engineer just to consult with over our tube Neve board in the other room or route it so the SSL board in...

While yes, this thread will be the pro/con ADAT rant -- and why not? -- there might be something useful come of it. Like this thing. I'm just thinking out loud, here. While the ADAT proper was no trophy in human interface respects - adequate at-best - the BFR was a nice piece of long gone...

I see this kinda thing all the time and wonder if it's an ego thing or something. Craigslist ads do this. Here's my bottom dollar and if I don't get it, I'm gonna throw the thing away! Don't get me wrong, i've done much the same in my past, but that was before i tuned into repurposing and...

In 1990-ish, we were recording and editing on Mac II machines. So any pad, or any phone, will suffice as every one of them is 1000X better. It's a mature technology. Whaddaya wanna do? How much money you got? Just like it's always been.
