I am looking for monitors that represent the best compromise between: (A) non-fatiguing and inspiring and (B) results in a decent mix. Any suggestions are appreciated. M-Audio BX8a's. This decision caused me no small amount of distress a couple years ago. At the end of the day, I almost went for th...

I'm really surprised that United won't do 24. I thought they did. Hey folks. Here in Detroit, we use Archer Records. They do a great job on anything from rock records to hip-hop and techno. If you're in the Midwest shipping will be cheaper too, or you can always come visit and pick up your records! ...

Why is everyone from country to hiphop to Khmer pop (don't ask) using that horrific hard auto-tuning effect? Artifex is right, it sounds "fresh" so people will wring out that rag until it's dry. It's no different than "E. Piano 1"/"Fulltines", then "LA Piano" for pop/ballads. Most of the time I don...

Well.....

No argument there.

The Flaming Lips - Embryonic +1 I've been a fan since '92, and initially this was the first record of theirs that I out-and-out hated. Then a switch flipped and now I think it's incredible. Reckon I was totally unprepared for such a sharp, freaky left turn. The same thing happens to me when a new D...

And even up into the early, 90s, classic and forgotten records alike are doused in this shiny, fake-sounding reverb halo. What were folks thinking? From the Replacements (Don't Tell a Soul) to Appetite for Destruction to Nothing's Shocking to Louder Than Love... and it's never that cool, spooky ambi...

Hi. First time poster. I've been running ProTools LE 7.3 -- OSX 10.4.11 -- on an old beater Titanium G4 Powerbook for over a year now. Performance was passable up to a certain number of tracks and plug-ins. Not fast or smooth, by an stretch, and prone to crashes, but it worked. I could track, mix, a...

I'll check it out.

Should I also check out the new Shakira video, then?

Their tech support doesn't cover Adapted. I am up a creek.

I wonder if reinstalling Adapted would be a good thing or screw things up further....

reason adapted you can only use one of each instrument. did you try open only one song at a time? that is my best guess Yeah, and I've only created a single ReDrum drum part. So it's really weird. And now Adapted is refusing to open any new song file I create. Old song files it opens fine, but I re...

I seem to recall having to upgrade to the full-up Reason when I went to PT7,as Adapted is no longer supported. I've been running 7.x since last Summer, and I've never had an issue. Plus this file has been an ongoing thing, and I just finished it today. As soon as I finished it, Adapted suddenly ref...

So I'm using Reason Adapted 2.5 I just use ReDrum in there to build drum parts for song demos, then ship 'em into ProTools 7.x and everything's great. Good way to rough out songs for band. So I built a sorta complicated song file. I wound up saving it as two different Reason files. Now neither of th...

I love everything about my little Orange PPC112. It's the only small cab I've got and I'm using it more than anything else I've got!

I'd have to buy a vintage one w/o trying it, as none of the local stores have any old Skylarks... but there's a reissue about 75 miles away, and I'd at least be able to hear it for myself. What's the skinny? Are the vintage GA-5s so much better that I should risk a sight-unseen eBay purchase, or wai...

Never had one, but I see a lot of them on craigslist. Don't know what that's supposed to mean. I reckon that could mean that the great word of mouth around the Tiny Terror is all hype and zombie groupthink (see 2008's The Dark Knight) and people don't like the TT once they get it home. Or it could ...
