Do they run on the latest version of PT? How does that work? Any of the Avid HD or TDM stuff requires Pro Tools Ultimate (and you can look up the prices on that...). Although I hear that Avid Carbon comes with Ultimate, it can still work with Studio. I'm using Studio with my Apollo and I will still...

UA Console is easy to use (once you get your head around it) and I also once had an Orion 32 so I agree that it also has good monitoring/routing software. I also had a Lynx Aurora and it was pretty flexible too (I like the UA best of these). I wonder if it matters which generation of the Scarlett 18...

I should really try those myself. I had some of the mopad style foam blocks (but off-brand) and they were worthless. I forgot about these - they would fit perfectly where I need them too...

I thought the Focusrite Scarlett had some kind of console-like app too? If you can monitor through that, then just mute all your inputs in Logic (while tracks are armed) and that should take care of any latency issues. With the Apollo I can put a reverb on a vocal track or whatever if I want (and no...

if you can send some audio to it (even if it's just audio from a phone or whatever) then you should be able to measure some voltage (put your DMM on AC, although it will likely be under 1VAC) and then just see if you can get that on the 1/4" input, and then again across the XLR (voltage will be even...

I gotta site where a small number of international/foreigner friends post (currently Scotland, England, and Texas).

Technically, we Texans are not yet international or foreigners. But someone is always talking seccession, so who knows what's in store...

I'm using an Apollo 16 (silver, fw) and a bunch of outboard preamps (mostly 500 series) and I track bands, singer-songwriters, etc. I like that the UA console app can "monitor" in real time with no perceptible latency, and that I can create 4 unique headphone mixes (functionally only 3 for me, becau...

that's how Avid likes it.

PT is all subscription now right? you can certainly do it that way (but if you stop then so does Pro Tools) but I think they still sell perpetual licenses still too, and they changed the reinstatement cost structure (although if you never had it then that doesn't matter). I have a perpetual license...

I don't have those particular modules but I do have a preamp from AML (or Audio Maintenance Ltd - in the UK) - I've the 5003D, which is not made anymore and it's fantastic sounding. It was prebuilt (and only sold that way). I've been tempted build some of the kits but don't have any more empty slots...

I have the standard BA512 opamp in my Coppers, and the stepped input (but variable output)

wave factory plugins and they have a free Snare Buzz plugin. It’s legit snare buzz that you can tweak and mix in with any track. I can’t decide whether it’s insane or genius. https://www.wavesfactory.com/free-vst-plugins/ I would put this on the same level with a plugin that added more string squea...

Culture Vulture can be cool for the right thing. Sound Toys Decapitator of course. sometimes I'll use Sound Toys Devil Loc Deluxe, which is a compressor but it can add some nice grit. I just got the Louder Than Liftoff Silver Bullet MK2 plugin so I haven't used it a lot, but I did put it on a couple...

I also always mic it and infrequently use it. I had an Audix D3 on it for awhile, and tried a few other things. Just a 57 on it right now (I mean I have a 441 but why waste it here?). At an angle similar to the top mic, but pointing at the wires, but sometimes also toward the bass drum head a little...

I've used Melodyne to "create" harmonies (from the original vocal lines) and then use that so the singer can "hear" what the harmonies are supposed to be This is a great idea. I've yet to crack open Melodyne to see what/how it does, I believe I got a version with my recent PT license. it definitely...
