So.. after the dramas of trying to install OS 1.50 on my Quantum. Success!. I put up $60.00 for an old IBM Thinkpad off eBay running Windows XP. Note to all the unwary, MIDI interfaces on USB do NOT like virtual versions of windows, no matter how slick they seem to be working.

The result of the upgrade is as follows..

An emulation of the Neve 1073 EQ.

I downloaded a trial version of it yesterday. It's pretty close, considering it's missing all the wiring and electronics - not to mention the actual 1073 preamp - that makes up the real thing.

This piece is evolving but what really excited me about it was that both guitars are live tracked single takes close mic'd w/ my SM57 on my Boogie into my M-Audio Profire 610.

I got lucky I think with mic position here and got what I thought was a usable sound without too much fiddling.

Hi guys, thought I would share my latest mix/song. The bands me and my band are inspired by, both music and production wise are:
Red, of Mice and Men, memphis may fire, i see stars, Breaking benjamin etc..
Would like to hear what you guys think about the mix mostly, but also the song.

I don't subscribe to SOS so I can't read the whole article. If you've read through it, without over thinking this question, what are the top things you were left thinking about after the article?

I finally broke down and bought an iLok this past weekend - actually my girlfriend bought it for me for Christmas LOL, along with Slate's VCC processor, which I've had my eye (ear) on for awhile now.

I thought I'd start a "companion" thread to the other Samplitude thread, where Sam users cn share tips and tricks for the platform. As with any DAW prog, there are various little things that are helpful to know.

Hi! In reference to this thread ...

I've been making music in Logic for a couple of months now. One of the most difficult things for me is making a baseline that is punchy and funky.

Okay... so, I've got a decent second audio I/O for several days... a friend of mine is letting me use his Focusrite I/O while he's on vacation, so I thought I'd try mixing to a separate DAW.

Questions...

There will be no external analog summing involved, hi voltage or otherwise. So, without this step, should I even bother with mixing to a secondary DAW?
