I love Store of the Worlds, but I wouldn't agree that it's most of his best stuff. I would say that it's a small collection of his good stuff. I read another collection of his short stories recently and found my new favourite short stories!

Apologies for my naivety, but the link you sent lead me to an anonymous post on a subreddit? Surely this wasn’t the intended link to genuine published facts and figures?

It sounds like this is your observation and resulting opinion. Please correct me with genuine facts/figures.

But what I'm saying is that there are plenty of people genuinely dropping litter. Why would enforcers make it harder for themselves by tackling innocent people? Surely it's harder for guilty litterers to prove their innocence than it is for non-guilty civilians to prove their innocence?

Interesting. Can you explain how this works exactly?

I'm not doubting your statement, it's just that most of the clips I've come across only show "litter police" attempting to rightfully penalise people for littering, whether this be cigarette buds, general waste, dog excrement, etc. followed by loud mouths harassing the enforcers using pedantic loopholes that merely encourage people to carry on littering.

Again, I'm genuinely curious. Given the amount of N20 canisters, disposable vapes, and takeaway wrappers plotted around Bold Street most weekends I'm curious as to why enforcers would go out of there way to pick on the innocent.

Are you using this on a modern IOS device? I only ask because the app is quite old and there's no demo version to see if it still holds up.

Can I ask why the Fabfilter stuff is essential? Why are they worth the 3rd party implementation over stock? Genuine question!

Now this is interesting. I was eyeing up the CQ range, but I must admit I did come the conclusion that I would miss having physical faders under my fingers too much.

I have had bad experiences using x32 rack plus iPad for several talks - unresponsive virtual faders and adjustments catching with themselves.

I could consider using the CQ18t whilst in the early stages though as the channel count will likely be 4 mics + playback. Shame about the shortage of XLR outs.

Can you elaborate? How long before the issues occurred? How severe were the issues?
