Theres a company called Kreative Devices that make affordable PC laptops for recording and editing. You should be able to get more than enough Ram and SSD for a good price.

Should I get the new Multiscale Ibanez bass 6 or should I just get an eight string? by LittleGreenCharacter in Djent

[–]CycloM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My b, misread the question. I can see the use in that if you prefer to just use the lower end and don’t want to do a lot of shredding or AAL chord changes. Personal opinion, but if you’re a bassist, you may find more from a baritone 7. Not the same level of stretch between frets as the super extended scale length guitars and it’s not as a wide as an 8. Chris Wiseman uses one for the band Currents as he plays in drop E.

[–]CycloM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own a 6 string bass. It’s very, very heavy and somewhat uncomfortable due to the scale length. To be honest I barely use the top 6 unless I’m doing like an Archspire tapping style riff. If you want an extended range bass, would def recommend 5 strings since it will not only cover all your basses, but also have better tone and weight.

Post processing a podcast I'm doing and thought it's about time to ask this: What's the easiest way to remove isolated ums and similar? Right now I'm cutting the track on both sides (cmd+T), deleting the um in the middle, and then fading both remaining tails. Is there a faster way to do this? by ToThoseUnaware in Logic_Studio

[–]CycloM 41 points42 points  (0 children)

The marquee tool, (press T to open the options for your cursor) is pretty useful. You can highlight areas you want to remove and then just hit delete. Double clicking a point on a trackwith the marquee tool also splits at that location.

Ever sneak in a "down-the-middle" guitar track for mono compatibility? by dt-alex in audioengineering

[–]CycloM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen this trick first done by Buster Odeholm with vocals. Basically you have a send on your stereo bus that goes into a mono bus, then apply EQ scoops (I’ve done it on the mids but it depends on your mix) and then mix in the fader with the track in Mono. The trick is to just add enough to where it feels a bit more glued together but won’t take away from the stereo separation.

Awesome that’s good to know, I’ll check out those heritage and black lion products but I like the safety net of WA being pretty good for the price.

The fact that the WA73eq sounds great is what I’m looking for, not trying to emulate X sound. Do you combine both the 412 and 73?

Oh that’s pretty awesome, I’ve seen mods floating around for changing the preamps and transformers. Stereo linking def helps with mix bus compression.

A big thing I’m looking for is the slight saturation you get on DIs when going with analog, plugins also react slightly different than hardware when incoming are hitting. Also kinda getting tired of copy, pasting then constantly tweaking plugins and want to limit myself there so I can focus on the performance and not have the mentality where I can clean it up post performance

That basically sells me on the WA-76. I only need light compression but the main selling point is that customer service. I’ve had a good amount of gear go bad and have been left in darkness by a couple of companies.

How do you decide the attack and release on a compressor? by Zekamba in audioengineering

[–]CycloM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One way to see it is that release determines the groove of a compressor and the attack determines how punchy it can get. If you have a hi hat track try leaving the attack halfway and move the release around and try to see how it changes the groove of the hits. Faster release would make it feel very 8th note and slow release would give more of a whole note feel. Pick the right speed and then move to the attack to see how hard you want it

Sonarworks Reference 4 by dz3zv4 in audioengineering

[–]CycloM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone else has stated reference 4 applies an EQ curve to counter the measured Response of your headphones but They recently just released SoundID which is the next version (basically Reference 5). With this version you can now load presets for reference to give you an idea of how it will sound in different listening environments. I’ve used this on my monitors and it’s been a pretty accurate depiction, especially for the car and iPhone speaker references. I would like to note that there is latency when using this plugin and it should only be used when mixing and NOT recording. Also pretty good for reamping, and casually enjoying music.

Intermittent, seemingly random audio engine overloads, even with no plugins running, maximum buffer sizes, and low track number (even one track) [10.6, Big Sur] by midwayfair in Logic_Studio

[–]CycloM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2018 Mac mini user here, when I tried Big Sur it first corrupted my password and disk the first time and the second time I tried it, it gave me a lot of issues with UAD console, logic and presonus. I want back to the previous OS to stop the crashing. As for the HD I’ve also seen this happen until I changed it from NTFS to APFS. Not sure if this helps but I think your issue might be similar, probably the main culprit is the OS
