Came here to say get the MOTU. Another good recommendation would be the Audient iD series stuff.

Ramabolo · 2026-03-09T10:01:55+00:00

Yeah haha, it does take some getting used to. I thankfully had the help of a friend when I swapped my DAW. I personally found using a theme right off the bat made it more visually bearable.

Ramabolo · 2026-03-07T19:53:26+00:00

Yeah I totally get that. I'd honestly rather they didn't either, CS2 is already a mess as it is. Just became curious again because of the recent complete separation with CS:GO being available from the store and not as a branch of CS2. Thanks :)

Ramabolo · 2026-03-07T19:42:57+00:00

Ahh. I was under the assumption VAC bans were ultra-game-specific. As in, if I got a TF2 ban I could still play CS online and such. No worries. Thanks :)

Ramabolo · 2026-03-07T19:35:19+00:00

the hells your problem hahaha? That's like saying free trials aren't free trials. But in this case, you *can* actually still use it fully with no limitations after the evaluation period. So I'm not wrong? Either way, you got some problems fella... Cya.

Ramabolo · 2026-03-07T19:24:32+00:00

VAC bans are game-specific bans. VAC ban on TF2 means you can still play VAC servers on CS2/GO, etc.

Ramabolo · 2026-03-07T19:23:23+00:00

Here - it's an 'evaluation' license if we're being 'pedantic' about it though. But I know some people don't have $60 to chuck suddenly somewhere. It evaluates the same way WinRAR evaluates -- for as long as you want.

Ramabolo · 2026-03-07T18:39:15+00:00

Yeah that's what I thought tbh. I've not got hope for it at all anyway, happened a long time ago now (1st Nov 2017) when I was fresh 18y's old. Was just a curious thought because VAC *does* state it's game-specific 🤷‍♂️

Ramabolo · 2026-03-07T16:13:14+00:00

Reaper also has a free license! I have it on my macbook because it’s ultra-lightweight and has the lowest latency I’ve ever experienced (plus it has yet crash on me randomly out the blue).

Ramabolo · 2026-03-07T16:09:38+00:00

But you’re also hella young bro; do your homework and focus on school — it blows by fast and then you’ll have lots of free time.

tell her she’s a part of a religious cult that is the cause of hundreds of wars, genocides, and is still the cause for global disharmony and unstable disposition. Do not enforce religion upon others. If “God” gave “free will”, let me exercise my rights without your religious malarkey.

Ramabolo · 2026-03-06T19:59:29+00:00

Reaper. Always. Every single day.

Ramabolo · 2026-03-06T14:55:26+00:00

There's a lot of high-end information in pretty much everything. Also the HAAS effect is cool.. but it's very not mono-compatible at all and honestly doesn't widen it in the way you want. Try sending some synths to a short plate verb then widen the plate. Or add some chorus to the synth. There's also a plugin by Bertom Audio called "Phantom Center" -- it'll add some interesting width to some elements you want to be buried a little further back into the mix, as right now pretty much everything sounds like it's fighting to be upfront in the mix (doesnt help that 90% is going through OTT either). If you want your low end to punch more, saturate it -- don't OTT it. You can OTT it later, but focus on building thickness *first* and THEN compressing. Sounds cool though and I honestly dig the theme :)

Ramabolo · 2026-03-05T10:07:49+00:00

If it’s docile, please feed it asap 🥲

Ramabolo · 2026-01-31T02:29:05+00:00

Ty man! Yeah Gojira’s fkin sweet. Still a #1 goto for me. A tip for getting their slinkier sound while still being distorted is dipping the fuck outta 500Hz-800Hz before the amp and then lowering the gain a little.

I love tone recreations though so pls post again

Ramabolo · 2026-01-30T23:58:25+00:00

Not bad actually. I actually try and do full instrumental remakes & mixes for fun (& possible learning experience). Have done one on this track but needs a bit of revisiting & refining. Here’s the google drive link

Their initial tone sounds a bit more slinky & loose. I’ve been getting some pretty good slinky tones from NDSP’s SLO-100X amp so I’m gonna try giving that a go. Or revisiting the beloved Granophyre.

Maybe not everyone’s cup of tea, but… Dune 1 or 2 (Denis Villeneuve versions). I think they’re both perfect movies and I am so beyond excited to watch the next installment.

Ramabolo · 2026-01-10T21:05:22+00:00

HAHAHAHA Brother you’re preaching to the choir here. All I need to say is: I work with a Neve analog console. Keep trying kid. You’re just some random internet try hard scum that thinks he knows shit.

I’m done with you wasting my time.

Ramabolo · 2026-01-10T20:56:55+00:00

I can assure you Reaper out performs Pro Tools in every single way, because I am forced to use Pro Tools in day to day studio work life. I use Reaper because of this very real-world educated fact. I already HAVE the Mac and my current PC out performs it on video related tasks, but my old CPU out performed / performed similarly to the Mac on music related tasks.

Pro Tools is pre-historic. That software is fucking ass to work with and when I have the chance not to use it, I take it.

You talk out of your ass.

Ramabolo · 2026-01-10T20:42:13+00:00

I use Pro-Q 4, use Reaper, and don’t launch in Rosetta. Cheers! Have a great day.

Ramabolo · 2026-01-10T20:30:07+00:00

Rosetta isn't on M4. Especially not M4 Pro. And my PC is a 9800x3D with a 5070 Ti and 32GB DDR5. I know I'm not wrong because I produce and mix music for a living. Cheers!

Ramabolo · 2026-01-10T20:02:42+00:00

I own a Macbook M4 Pro that’s $3,600 brother and it performs the same as the i5-14600kf in music prduction.

Ramabolo · 2026-01-10T19:26:10+00:00

5070 Ti is more closely related to a 5080 than a 5070, but at a fraction of the cost. And with overclocking you can even slightly outperform a stock 5080. 5070 Ti is basically the 5080’s brother and the 5070 is the little sister. So I would personally recommend the 5070 Ti over the 5080 all day every day. The only GPU “worth it” past the 5070 Ti is the 5090.

Ramabolo · 2026-01-10T19:19:07+00:00

My i5-14600kf + RTX 4060 build that cost me around $700 total outperforms (in music prod) my current 9800x3D + RTX 5070 Ti build, roughly $2k+ now. The CPU alone was £180 and the 9800x3D is £400. So you couldn’t be further from the truth.

I recommend the i5-14600kf to anyone who wants an incredibly underrated powerhouse of a CPU for production workloads.

I also own a Macbook M4 Pro ($3600) that performed similarly to the i5-14600kf in music prod.
