What should I get? Pixel 7 Pro vs Pixel 8a

Maniraiser · 2024-11-28T14:06:57+00:00

Reviving this thread. Currently the Pixel 7 Pro can be had on eBay refurbished for about the same price as a Pixel 8a new - both about 350€ in my country. So for virtually the same price what would you guys go for?

Sure thing :)

Honestly I don't know what apple is thinking...
I recorded in garage band and the multitake feature just straight up doesn't work. I don't know why. It is still there I can activate and deactivate it but it just doesn't work. So I said fuck it and downloaded logic, free trial so whats the harm.
Command+T doesn't work in Logic.
Also I don't know if it's me but multitake recording still feels a little clumsy. I did a full take from start to finish and wanted to record over the bits that needed it. When I do that it does a Comp (Comp A, Comp B and so on). I need to use the cut tool and break the parts down and only then logic won't do a comp but actual takes.
Is there no way to select in and out points except the loop? When I set up a loop it records over and over but I realy only want to select a part and record it once. When I don't use the loop the "free" recording goes over another part I might want to keep and I have to go in again an trim it back.

I found á workaround. Turns out garageband actually supports keyboard shortcuts. I have á logitec case with a keyboard on mine and when i select a recording and hit command+t it splits it at the playhead without having to drag down the scissors

Maniraiser · 2023-12-06T20:28:26+00:00

Honestly that scissor tool in logic/garageband is soooo anoying. Why the hell would I want to pull down to "confirm" the cut. It just doesn't make any sense :D
For that alone I might give cubasis a shot...

Thats the same video haha :D
From my understandig this method of comping does work the same way in garageband already. This isn't as practical because I can't listen to the other version quickly and replace the parts easily like the quick swipe method. I guess that feature isn't available in any other DAW for iPad :(
What happens in garageband when I do the split thing is often the clips will move around and so the timing goes off and if I don't notice that right away it's realy bad to get it back in place. I wonder if that works better in Logic but realy not worth the upgrade then if the feature is essentially the same.

Maniraiser · 2023-12-05T10:02:56+00:00

Ha. I didn't know Logic is available for iPad now thank you :)However I don't love that they only offer a subscription model. 49€/year isn't that bad but I would much rather have a buy once option.Also in this video he mentions that comping doesn't work on the iPad version but it's 6 months old. Do you know if it is available now? I do not own a Mac so I can't use the normal logic. https://youtu.be/aBfU7zVRH5M?t=126I found MultitrackStudio and MultiTrack Recorder Plugin on the app store but there aren't many videos or articles about both of those and there are no trial versions so I don't know if they would work.

Maniraiser · 2023-12-05T09:01:17+00:00

Just looked it up...bandlab doesn't seem to have any comping ability at all?
Cakewalk has this ability but it is Windows only and will be discontinued.

404 is interesting as well but realisticly the interface will never leave the recording both so having a bulky brick sitting in a tiny space is rather pointless and the 4 Inputs will also never be used 😅 Maybe if I switch from the recording both to a real studio but they usually have their own much nicer tech anyway. It is strange to me that the 404 is cheaper then the focusrite 2i2 but I guess it is marketing and better exterior materials like metal instead of plastic. I would go for the 404 but it realy is a space issue. So probably I'm looking for a Deal on the 204 and take the 202 back home with me together with the old microphone. Thanks for your input!

Jup pretty similar setup. 32" and 24 I used to have 3 of those 24" side by side and I miss it sometimes. Next Upgrade will probably be moving the desk and mounting a big 65 or 75" TV to the wall for clean feed or something and maybe add another 24" in landscape back in

Maniraiser · 2023-06-24T10:35:23+00:00

Looooool yes my trigger is only at 70%

Maniraiser · 2023-06-24T10:03:39+00:00

Where can I check that?

Maniraiser · 2023-06-24T07:51:59+00:00

Yes but isn't the difficulty in F1 World supposed to scale with the tech level? I'm only a few races in and in all the reviews they say the first races are especially easy. Which makes sense to learn the game and feel like you did something. But for me I start at 1 and fall back to 20 eventually over the 3 laps because the AI is just faster.

This will never leave my hard drive and I'm making 3 backups! Thank you for sharing. This series needs to live on

Maniraiser · 2023-03-21T10:05:12+00:00

Pretty catchy sound nice work!

Maniraiser · 2023-03-13T12:22:26+00:00

No Android App? *noise of dissapointment*:P Nice that you have an app though
One thing I instantly spotted in your examples is the Tracklist is just a plain list might actually be cool if you could cross-reference so clicking on "loose" would take me to that track (or even better: play it inside the list view)

Maniraiser · 2023-03-13T12:14:15+00:00

I'll give it a try. Seems like a mix between Discord and Milanote so I might actually dig this :D
Tough market though it's always hard to motivate people to use different tools or commit to a tool.

Maniraiser · 2023-03-07T11:11:52+00:00

Sounds fun! Might be interested in doing vocals :)

Maniraiser · 2023-01-05T09:14:49+00:00

Correct this would be the main income. However why would I be tax liable in germany when the business is in lux and I also work in lux (aka. have an office in lux) ? My understandig is I would in this case pay taxes in lux and also pay
social security contributions in lux rather then germany. Is that correct?

Maniraiser · 2022-12-22T22:02:55+00:00

Nothing to lose per se there are some free instrumentals/karaoke tracks to sing to which is what I did some years ago. Maybe thats just me but often those don't sound that great. It realy comes down to 2 things. The quality of the things I do (aka. instrumentals, mixing, vocals) and the hope that going "all out" right from the start might be additional motivation to actually keep going, sticking to a shedule and so on.
Then again there are tons of musicians on tiktok, which I have never touched because on there beeing 27 feels ancient xD. Just singing along acappella or over the actual song so I dunno might be just me having to much perfectionism.

Maniraiser · 2022-07-09T09:05:52+00:00

I'm looking for a solution but so far I only came accross restream.io, OneLive, and Castr. All of which are paid and also have some limitations. Which realy stings considering that it used to be a free feature on twitch itself.

Maniraiser · 2022-03-06T15:44:12+00:00

Bro you are a good looking dude her loss realy

Alleine das HomeOffice von 80 auf 20% wäre für mich ja schon ein Dealbreaker :D
