    **Did You give focusrite permission to enter your home or studio???

    It doesn't matter that you are an individual. These companies would much rather try to find a compromise on how to report the SW usage rather than taking it to litigation.

    Lesser expensive DAW Recommendation

    I have been using MAGIX for 15 years and it works great. Around $50 or so. I've upgraded versions a few times over the years. I currently use the 2015 version. Here is an example of what I do with it. It does everything any other DAW does. YouTube. I also use their video editing suite for...

    **Did You give focusrite permission to enter your home or studio???

    Here's my 2 cents. I'm the guy who drafts these License Agreements. I've been doing it for 10 years. Yes, focusrite has the right to audit your granted use of their IP. If you dont want to grant them that right, don't use their product. Yes, software companies do audit their customers from time...

    Fender Teles and swimming through the Fender sea

    MIM or Squire Classic Vibe are the best bang for the buck IMO. Both are great guitars.

    I'm ready to ban coffee in my studio ... again.

    I use a stainless steel "on-the-go" coffee container. It keeps the coffee hot for hours during a long session and if I knock it over, the mess will be minimal.............Hey at least I don't smoke in my studio anymore. I stopped that about 20 years ago !!

    Recording Bass at home.

    As you can see, everyone has their own preferred method, which means there's no right way or wrong way. DI, mic'd cab, amp sim, whatever. Personally, I use an amp sim with a rack compressor on the way into my AI. Do whatever works for you and what you have budget for and whatever gear you have...

    PROTECT YOUR EARS !!!!!! You Only have 2 of Them!

    OP here ....... I went to an audiologist yesterday and my hearing was 100% perfect. Eardrum function was also perfect. She doesn't suspect my tinnitus is from loud music but from some other cause. Nevertheless, I'm still going to turn down my headphones.

    PROTECT YOUR EARS !!!!!! You Only have 2 of Them!

    Funny how the only 3 people to respond to this thread are people who have damaged their ears/hearing. I hope all the young folks out there aren't thinking "it'll never happen to me". I do think in 20 and 30 years time, all these young people who grew up with BEATS ear buds in their ears 24/7 are...

    PROTECT YOUR EARS !!!!!! You Only have 2 of Them!

    So at age 45, I am now suffering from tinnitus. It's very annoying and very depressing. Since I was 12 years old I have always worn industrial hearing protectors whenever I play the drums (even at a gig), so I know it's not from playing drums, but I have always lived in apartments and townhouses...

    What is the best order in mixing tracks?

    It's not so much order as it is your preferred process. Yes, if you are mixing acoustic drums, start with drums first, but after that, it's personal preference. My process: Drums Guitars Keys/Piano Bass Aux Perc Lead Vocals BU Vocals Solos (Guitar, etc.) I like to solo sub groups as well and...

    Dug out the old BOSS SE-50 still works but needed new battery

    I still have both my 50 and 70. Had to replace the battery on the 50 twice. Never on the 70. Still love the 70.

    BEHRINGER U-PHORIA UMC404HD with 2015 Macbook Pro

    Whichever DAW you choose, it should just be a matter of putting tracks 1, 2 and 3 in REC mode and then record your material. You will have to choose inputs 3+4 for track 3.

    ASIO taking Exclusive Control of Audio ... but it didn't before my Rebuild

    I recently re-built my PC (fresh install of Win 10) so I know there's a fix for my problem as everything was working fine before the rebuild. The ASIO drivers in my DAW are taking control of my audio. I can't play anything else in Windows Media Player or YouTube, etc with my DAW open. I went...

    Recommend me a good budget Monitor Speaker ?

    I have a pair of CR3's, but I don't use them as mains. I use them as a "B" reference monitor. I also use them as my "computer speakers" when not mixing (you tube, etc.). For the price, I think they're great. If you are on a budget and you will be using them as mains, spend the extra few dollars...
