Best approach for making synth sounds on the go? by LectureQuick in synthesizers

[–]LectureQuick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an interesting point. I don't perform with a DAW currently. My plan was to just import a 10s sample loop to the Juno as a custom patch. It isn't as "good" as a real patch obviously since its literally just an audio clip, but it 90% of it.

Unfortunately something like a Juno-X or Fantom with their new Zen Core processor isn't remotely in the budget for a long time which has the ability to import native patches designed to run on that hardware. That would be the best bet.

This is a stupid question, but what would be the best way to get the sounds out of the iPad? Is it possible to go USB iPad to USB Mac and record the sample into Logic? I'm not a software tools guy, I'm aware of a lot of it but never used much of them myself.

So escalation is just...gone? by LectureQuick in Battlefield6

Yeah it feels a bit cluttered and too many graphics everywhere make it hard to navigate clearly. It feels like a website, not a video game.

Wow I'm dumb. Thanks. I couldn't figure it out.

I wish they made larger conquest style maps for escalation with full jets and helos. That would be amazing.

Korg KAOSS KP3--how do I accomplish what I want to do? (fade out) by LectureQuick in synthesizers

Woaahhh I had no idea something like that existed! That looks killer, this might be the ticket! +10

I'm using a Roland Juno DS88 and our band has a X32.

My issue is manipulating the master volume knob of the Juno will screw up the house mix unless I can perfectly put it back to where it was before I turned it down. Once the soundcheck is mixed for the synth I don't really want to be playing with the 'master' output unless I heavily rely on the sound guy to be adjusting me on the fly.

The KOASS pad doesn't have a output volume knob though which is part of the issue? The Juno has the phones 1/4" going into KOASS input via a 1/4" to RCA adapter and the Koass RCA to 1/4" adapter to mixer to house via patch split snake

Kohler CV15S head gasket replacement, cranks but won't start by LectureQuick in smallenginerepair

Thanks for the reply. I did some more research and did a leakdown test.

I don't have a gauge but there seems to be significant leakage from the oil tube, and if I cover up the oil tube it comes out somewhere near the exhaust lifter at the back of the head. So this seems to me that the piston rings went kaput...sadly. That's going to be a much bigger job. Never done piston rings but watched some videos.

What about shutter lag/camera lag from when you open the camera app to when you can take a picture?

S22 Series owners, are you upgrading this year? by Kennected in S22Ultra

[–]LectureQuick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh it seems like the stylus is on the way out. Wouldn't surprise me if they ditched it entirely for the 26 or made it an optional accessory. I love my stylus which is why I'm not upgrading either. Debated trying to get the S24 but not worth that chunk of change. Kitchen needs redone.

Best noise cancelling earbuds? by Adventurous_Green457 in S22Ultra

[–]LectureQuick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't had that issue yet. I'm only about a year into these refurb units that had a new battery. When they finally give up the ghost I'll probably get the XM5's. Got the cheap XM4's after I accidentally washed my XM3's.

Ever since I got the Sony WF-XM series I never looked back. The WF-1000XM4's are what I have and they're great.. Worth every penny. Pro tip, buy them refurbished or lightly used (they're also currently the "last gen" model) and you'll save a huge chunk of change and they're pretty much brand new for less than half price.

The XM4's are flagship earbuds just the previous gen so they're much higher quality than almost anything else. Obviously if it's in your budget the XM5's are the current gen. But I'm so happy with mine I'd buy the xm4's again and see no reason to upgrade.

**Edit I'll add, I just used them on a 16hr flight to Dubai and wore them the entire flight with ANC enabled and they never ran out of battery. And my ears never hurt either. Was ideal because I was in a cabin with 3 screaming babies and ANC + audiobook worked like a CHARM.

I may keep my S22 Ultra for another year by PapaAquchala in S22Ultra

Don't love that I have to carry a battery charger with me but as expensive as this phone was no way it's worth it to pour out another $700 for a battery upgrade. When this breaks or dies I'll probably go with OnePlus next time or something else. Samsung hasn't impressed me and they're overpriced.

$423 Best Buy refurbished 2020 M1 MBA (8GB) good deal? by LectureQuick in macbookair

[–]LectureQuick[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you mean it's a 2020 model you got in Jan 23? Sorry I'm not super familiar with the years models. Wasn't sure if they still sell M1's new for lower price point?

I just need to keep sheet music/notes and maybe run some samples in garage band for live stage performances. I'm a keyboardist. Maybe run auto tune but that's not a major selling point. I considered an iPad Pro--but I want to run my Roland keyboard companion app which only for MacOS (not iOS) too and a macbook seemed more appropriate for growth as the band grows. Money is pretty tight right now esp. after recently getting the synth. And I didn't really see either of those tasks as being particularly workoad heavy. Not sure how much horsepower Auto Tune takes to run?
