    Still using CDs ?

    I buy used CDs if it's something I want and it's not in current production. Then I rip it to my music collection (320kbps AAC) and trash it. I don't buy new CDs unless it's to support some live performer I've just seen, or there's no buyable digital download. Then I rip and toss. I have a USB...

    UR44C iMac setup

    Main is the only thing controlled by the volume knob on the UR44C. If you want to control volume of both sets of monitors independently, you'll need something placed after the line out that you choose, though you can possibly control it via the dspMixFx app, where Mix 1 controls L1 and Mix 2 is...

    Got an extra mac, sort of a 'spare'?

    Sorry, I’m not! And I don’t have the original packing so I wouldn’t even try to ship this in the states, honestly.

    2008 Martin D28 - horrible resonances

    I think OP’s guitar has a setup or fret problem on looking over the graphs. The peaks that were EQd out are essentially the 12th, 15th and 17th fret notes of the first string. Now, the E and A might be natural overtones, as they show up in the earlier comparison against my old mahogany OM, but...

    Got an extra mac, sort of a 'spare'?

    I can’t even “give away” a 2017 27” iMac. My mini m2 pro has replaced it but I do miss that screen. Funnily/oddly enough I sold my 2012 Mini easily, but it’s shippable so I could sell it on eBay, and it was stuck at a few OSs back! I haven’t booted the iMac but it was on Ventura. It’s off to...

    Octopre Substitutes?

    Behringer ADA8200? Not sure where you're working, but I used one of those in some live situations with an old Focusrite Saffire. More than good enough for a drum kit, too, I'd say. Depends what you're planning, but I wouldn't spend a ton if you're going to update your entire tech in the...

    2008 Martin D28 - horrible resonances

    Ok, this is interesting, but I still think it's likely strings/setup, maybe some technique, e.g., compensation learned playing on a very different instrument (playing .008s on electric) can really not work on something else, but that's a stretch. I captured the 2 above, normalized and the only...

    2008 Martin D28 - horrible resonances

    Yeah, well, I did my best :) - strumming is not something I do, at least not like that... I don't hear "resonance" so much as string balance, or perhaps un-balance, but I'll do a capture of those other clips, put my glasses on, and look.

    I did not, but I will.

    2008 Martin D28 - horrible resonances

    I'm just not hearing anything I'd call resonance. Maybe some room, tuning, setup issues? Have you had your hearing checked? (Seriously.) I'm attaching a quick analysis of a section I captured of your playing the Am chord, and then did some loose strumming of an Am on my mahogany OM guitar...

    can anyone recommend 24 track hard disc recorder that interacts with 1995 analog mackie board

    Why are you focusing on 20+ year old *digital* technology? You're going to be hamstrung by hardware that is not supported and cannot be fixed without buying a bunch of donors and hoping. That's my $.02. I'd say if you were obsessed with analog, Ok, go have fun finding 2" tape or whatever, but in...

    2008 Martin D28 - horrible resonances

    A good, hi-def non-lossy recording might be useful here. Does it do this regardless of where you are? Indoors, outdoors, etc.?

    I'm absolutely in love with the way my P90 pickups sound, but I can't get rid of the buzzing. Any ideas?

    As others say, single coil pickups like P90s are prone to being noisy, even much noisier, than humbucking design. It's simply unavoidable in some locations when you're not in control of the environment, where banks of noisy lights with dimmers in the same circuit as your amp, just old wiring...

    TRS cables.

    You might consider adding a cheap multi-meter to your kit to check continuity of cables. (Or, get a cable tester box). Audible hum probably suggests an open ground in a cable, and probably just needs to be identified with one of the above, and then corrected with a soldering iron, solder, and...

    Beg & Heal (mastered)

    I liked it! Nothing to add as far as mix/mastering - sounds quite professional (and not really my thing), so at this point I think it gets very much into subjective territory. Can't be sure about whether it's compressed, because I know you can upload non-lossy, and when I look at a [non-lossy]...

    Acoustic Guitar Strings

    I don't do "experimentation" unless I've got a problem with what I'm using, and that's the only reason. Generally I've used what the guitar shipped with when new and only changed when those became unavailable. The criteria is simple when I put on something different from what I had on before -...

    What should my next microphone(s) be?

    Thanks Eric. Now, I realize I didn't actually answer your question about next mic, but I'd say a good small condenser, or a pair, is not a bad thing to have if you're recording acoustic instruments, especially if the space is not something you really want to be capturing. The Acoustic Guitar...

    What should my next microphone(s) be?

    Recording acoustic guitar can depends good deal on the space you're recording in. I've used that Miktek mic on acoustic with good results, though these days I stick with small condensers because the outside noise has increased as more highways and people have moved around here, and there's a...

    Portable recording rig

    Another vote for a "field recorder" device. I still use my Zoom F8n occasionally, even in the house if I want to record in a different room. Sound Devices is the "pro" manufacturer, but the Zoom F-series are quite capable, and with 32-bit-float in the newest ones, worth a look. And, I started...

    Blacklist of Audio Interfaces/Devices to Avoid

    Reads more like trolling, or someone that had a bad experience, particularly with Focusrite, especially since that company is probably one of the bigger ones in the consumer market, with a distinct pro-level line of equipment. But they even continually revise and update their products based on...
