    Mic Shootout... not very scientific...

    Ok so i've got the day off to paint the house but it's raining so, thought i'd have a play with mics instead... The image is from the reverse as the light was in my way.

    PT Control

    Anyone else running the new PT remote? I'm loving it :) I no longer have to run RDP and a second PC when I'm out in the shed, just take the iPad and I've got everything I need, seems to me to be a lot more responsive than my presonus SL control which can be really huffy.
