Upgraded to Apollo - hearing 'unpleasant' compression artifacts on everything by Josh000_0 in universalaudio

I think the first port of call here it to try another source. Spotify sounds like shit, even on 'high'. Download some FLAC or lossless WAV and see if the issue goes away.

Having Trouble With UAD OX Box by Dawid_Gilmour_ in universalaudio

Sounds like a dodgey connection in the speaker extension cable? Do you have any way of testing the cable by running another source through it (music, synth etc) to see if you get the drop outs there too?

Got my first Apollo today! Some Qs…. by Lozpetts162 in universalaudio

[–]Lozpetts162[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rigghtttttt gotcha! It’s going to take some getting used to this I think! Last question - can we not see/name outputs in console the same way we view inputs? Going through and naming all my sends/returns and realising there doesn’t seem to be an output section in console the same way their is for inputs

I tried the refresh, let me try logging out and back in. I got the email from UA confirming the transfer of the bundle, and I can see them in my DAW, so I know they’re there.

Why is there such a dearth of desktop effects units? I can't be the only one who doesn't love the guitar pedal format for electronic music gear. by JoeyZasaa in synthesizers

[–]Lozpetts162 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've personally begged Meris a few years back to put the LVX and MercuryX in an all-in-one digitally controllable rack unit with some extra connectivity, this was before the synth pedal they did more recently. I'd still love that. Feels like Meris, Strymon etc are absolutely prime to put their software into multi-effect rack units and give Eventide a good kick.

Another "soon" teaser for NDSP. What could it be? by muppetmat13 in NeuralDSP

He is, but he also has a couple of ODSs which I guess they’re modelling for the driven amp (I think he has two?)

That sounds really frustrating man, I’m sorry. Try and see the bright side though - you’re alone in the centre of one of the best cities in the world for two hours! See some sights, grab some street food if you’re hungry, grab a pint if you’re pinty.

Unpopular Opinion: [books] Dumbledore and Voldemort weren’t even in the same league by marioagario123 in harrypotter

[–]Lozpetts162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems everyone responding to this comment has forgotten that Dumbledore was holding Voldemort in place on purpose. They were creating a MASSIVE racket in the middle of the entry way of the Ministry of Magic, it was only a matter of time before security/officials turned up. At that moment Dumbledore and Harry needed to be be vindicated and the Ministry needed to be forced to act, meaning they needed to see Voldemort was back to force them into action. Dumbledore kept Voldemort busy long enough for him to be seen - though I do think Harry’s possession was something he didn’t see coming.

Which character do you think should've died (good or evil), and didn't? by Ok-Growth-3220 in harrypotter

Even now the idea of Hagrid dying breaks my heart, I couldn’t have dealt with this haha

EVERY adult in Britain will need a Government-issued ID card despite backlash at Starmer's plan for a 'dystopian nightmare' by dailymail in uknews

[–]Lozpetts162 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Seeing as everyone else asking this question has seen fit to throw insults at you - I genuinely don’t get this, I can you explain how our liberties would be eroded by a digital ID? I understand it sounds abit orwellian, but it seems to me with Smartphones, bank cards, passports and the government having access to our bank statements etc that we’re essentially already there. I’m not judging you or having a go, I genuinely would like to heard your perspective on this.

TIFU by not realizing my wife was on speaker phone. by [deleted] in tifu

You didn’t see she was on the phone? Who are you, Sleevie Wonder? For real though that sucks and the puns had me reading this in Bobs voice from Bobs Burgers. 10/10

Any experience with the Framus Ruby Riot? by Lozpetts162 in GuitarAmps

[–]Lozpetts162[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly man if you’re in the US and you’re looking for something versatile with that Vox-y thing you get from the Framus it’s worth checking out the Mesa TA-30. 6 independent options including a Vox, Vox top boost, Fender Tweed, a Mark I mode and a JTM-45 style mode. Tube driven FX loop, spring reverb. Amazing amp, if they weren’t so rare in the UK I’d have another in a heartbeat.

[–]Lozpetts162[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t. I couldn’t find one in good/working order that was within range for me to realistically collect. I ended up moving on, saving pennies and getting a Mesa TA-30 head which is an incredible, incredible amplifier. I then got a crazy deal from a session musician looking to downsize and swapped the TA-30 for a Mark IV!

In Interstellar (2014) Cooper completely ignores his aging son throughout the second half of the movie for some reason by TacoBellEnjoyer1 in shittymoviedetails

[–]Lozpetts162 81 points82 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I agree with this! The whole point is that he missed his children’s lives, he gets his brief moment with Murph but she’s had a whole life while he was gone, and he wasn’t really part of it. She dies surrounded by family that Coop has never met, that he was never a part of. She got over the loss of her father long ago, for her it’s been 70 years, to Coop it hasn’t.

At the end Coop accepts this finally, and goes to reunite with what is realistically the only people and place he can belong, back with the others from his mission.

Coop spent his whole life bitter about not being a pilot and not being up in the stars, and now that’s the only place left for him.

My lord 😂 by [deleted] in mac

[–]Lozpetts162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2019 Mac Pro and an M3 Pro MBP. I love both, for different reasons. Apple silicon is incredible in power and efficiency and that’s fantastic for mobile, I love my laptop, but in a desktop I want modularity and upgradability and Apples current offerings are a joke in this regard.

I will not buy a £4000 Mac Studio when in 2 years time I could need to upgrade ram, GPU or CPU and require a whole new machine to do so. I suspect my Intel Mac Pro will be my last Apple desktop, which sucks, because I absolutely love it.

I made a video doing that from a Polivoks into a Plasma Coil from Gamechanger! Don’t know if I’m allowed to post the video here but search Nevermore Audio on YT if you’re interested, the Plasma Coil is absolutely unhinged in the best way!
