We all know how tricky 'quality' is to assess and quantify, but I cannot believe people have the nerve to sell a USB to hard-drive cable for £159 - and promise that it sounds wonderful

On my cheap-as-it-gets phone there are some pretty convincing (medium) room sounds especially on electric guitar. Other than that I have no idea what to this a sounds like.

I purchased Waves Diamond for $349 just about 3 1/2 years ago. When my motherboard failed, I replaced it and I was given a new Windows product key (no charge by Microsoft by the way). I wound up having to "recover" my Waves license. As it turned out, the motherboard that I bought was a lemon, so I just got a new computer, and once again I was prompted to "recover" my Waveslicense again.

I upgraded to Mojave on my MacBook, and the first time I used Cubase it came up with some questions. Cubase wants to access your microphone? Yes/No, which makes sense, it asked my about another process I OK'd then it said "Cubase wants to access your contacts" - which I thought about and said no to. Anyone know why on earth Cubase would even want to access my contacts for?

Hi I have lots of DATs I need to transfer to my laptop. I'm looking for an external soundcard that does a straight digital pass through without resampling, unless told to do so. It needs to have coax in and USB out. Please help with suggestions. I'm open to other ideas to get the music to my laptop without unwanted resampling. Thanks!

Hi guys!
I thought I’d post an experience I had over the last 12 hours with Magix (Samplitude) support...

I'm thinking about turning my basement into a recording studio. My friend is an audio engineer, and I'm a musician. He can supply the recording gear and do the recording, and I can supply the instruments and act as a session musician. My thoughts so far in terms of how money would be split are as follows:

For audio professionals working in stereo, surround and immersive formats up to 22.2, we present the m908. All new, from the ground up system architecture represents a plethora of new technical achievements for us.

So I picked up a Ramsa WR-T820 recently and boy do I love it. The preamps sound nice and fat especially when they are pushed. I've been using it with a DAW set up but recently have been experimenting with recording directly to Tape and I would like to patch in Outboard effects like a reverb tank and a compressor. The board appears to be set up for effects.

How do you avoid comb filtering effects where there are singers or instruments with microphones spaced closely together?
