Adding IO via Adat

I currently own the RME UFX interface, but time has come to make use of the ADAT connections and expand the inputs and outputs. Googling around there are not so many options to choose from. Most common may be the Behringer ADA8200 and the Focusrite octopre mic preamp. To suit my needs better i am considering the Octopre MKII dynamic.



Harrison MixBus 3

I downloaded, installed and licensed MixBus 3 yesterday ( I believe it's actually vrs 3.6).



At $39 it was kind of a no-brainer, and it gives me another DAW platform to work with. I like the GUI; which resembles a Harrison desk. I also like the sound of their audio engine, which is distinctly analog-sounding.

"Voltage-Spike(?)" in Speakers when Playback starts

Your Avatar
Submitted by WoodwindBlues on

Often (not always), when I start playing a sound file or video on my Laptop (MacBook Pro), I get a very audible "spike/click" in my speakers (Dynaudio BM5 MK3, connected via Presonous Audiobox USB) before the playback starts. This happens especially often, when listening to something on the internet. What can I do against that?

Sequoia 14 or ... ?

It seems as though Sequoia 14 may be around the corner, but... do I want it? I am still feeling the razor burn almost 2 years later, when a scant 3 weeks after I plunked down well over £2000 for v13, out came a Samplitude update with all the features I had wanted from Sequoia... for a fraction of the price ( I think I even saw it for 1/10th the price at one point).

hi, i'm planning on upgrading my interface and was planning on going with apollo 16 but i was reading online the sound quality is not noticeably better and for $3000 i want it to sound better than my firestudio projects.



i use logic and was wondering if maybe going Avid hardware is the way to go?



Avid HD native - $999

Samplitude - time stretching multiple tracks

Your Avatar
Submitted by thewonders on

I'm using Pro X2. I need to increase the speed (but not the pitch) of 13 drum tracks and a couple of guitar tracks. I selected the tracks to change in the Object list (check boxes) and can speed up/shrink the tracks fine in the OE. But once I've selected the tracks, if I click on a different track all of my selected tracks become unselected.

Thought Id post another song just finished .

Ive cut right back on plugins and filtered more on the verb sends .

What do you think?

I also changed my work flow with reverb . Its not as noticeable now.

Going for a more natural vibe

The toms are bit overdone with verb but i like it .
