Do you use auto save on your daw?

Submitted by kmetal on Thu, 06/09/2022 - 16:11

Hi,

Just wondering if you guys use the auto save function in your daw. I previously haven't but am considering it for the new setup.

If you are using it, how often do you have it save a backup?

Alsp how many backups do have have it set to store, before it overwrites the oldest one?

I've noticed several daws are implementing a form of hybrid buffer (reaper, studio one, cubase?, Possibly others) where there is a separate buffer for the audio playback tracks and the tracks record enabled.

Thanks!

Signal to DAW not hot enough

Submitted by bob savage on Thu, 01/23/2020 - 08:38

I was thinking that if I keep my 18i20 preamps as low as they go, that it would keep any coloration from my 18i20 as low as possible and the primary conditioning would be from my ART Pro II that's connected to my 18i20.
I find that I must use the preamps in the 18i20 in addition to the ART preamp to get my input signal to my DAW up enough.

Any advice is appreciated.

older iPad to run DAW?

Submitted by John Napier on Mon, 09/30/2019 - 04:21

This site has been great for me to learn some ins and outs and read quality answers. I am hoping to get some insights and suggestions on a technical question. I am putting together a voice recording studio for my teenagers. I have obtained most hardware components - used and open box deals but good quality. Soon I will test it with my Windows laptop.

Looper pedal vs. DAW repeat

Submitted by Colin on Thu, 03/14/2019 - 09:43

I haven't played much on a loop pedal and I know I can just loop a phrase on my DAW Logic Pro and play over it but I seem to remember it being a lot more FUN playing with a looper pedal.
Does anyone find that a looper pedal is more fun than playing over a repeated loop on software on a computer?
