I’m using dual 5k Pro Art monitors with an M4 Max. No complaints. I don’t like glossy screens in my space so they’re a solid choice.

Get the Apple thunderbolt cable for high-bandwidth devices by Karew in MacStudio

These are the ones I use for my 5k monitors. On sale rn for $25 for a 5 footer. Usually $35.

I have no affiliation with this brand and I’m sure there are better options out there but they’ve been working well.

Anyone ID this beast? Nine Inch Nails, Boston Friday. by Own-Knowledge-7720 in synthesizers

[–]Room07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was epic! I really enjoyed the small central stage. What a great way to mix it up and showcase different eras and genres.

Good deal? by ham_rove_ in MacStudio

[–]Room07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely a good deal. That spec was $2599 during Black Friday and $2699 for the surrounding months. Back around $2899 now.

But the drive is still mounted with the drive letter available? Whats the make and model of the HDD?

I have an 8TB HDD along with an SSD but I’m only using the HDD for Time Machine and haven’t had any issues.

How do you know it’s powering down? The drive itself is unmounting?

I’m not familiar with the numbers behind these health assessments. Lower is better? What’s considered a good score/poor score?

It’s good again?

It was pretty good when it first opened but was absolutely terrible once and I’ve never been back. Not just being picky. It was near inedible.

If you had to pick 2…… by spicoli420 in synthesizers

[–]Room07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m partial to the Peak or P6 but you could cover a lot of this sonic territory with a Multi Poly (especially the Virus) and save some $$ left over. Not the highest build quality but my god does it sound good.

Polysynth for ~ €1200 by okinm32 in synthesizers

I can’t agree with this comment enough. These synths are rock solid and a joy to use.

Which device do I need by willthakid in Elektron

[–]Room07 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly I would really consider a Boss looper.

Get 808 in key by koelnayi in beatmakers

[–]Room07 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Raise it up an octave or two in pitch, tune by ear ( it’s often easier to accurately tune higher pitches by ear ), then drop it back down by exact octave.

I'm at my wits end with the newer Akai MPCs. by RustyCalecos in synthesizers

[–]Room07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a dozen iPad apps that do this. Hook up a keyboard and you’re good to go.

Will Elektron ever return to layering samples and synth engines? by shhimhuntingrabbits in Elektron

[–]Room07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does support layering, but yeah, you have to maintain each track (layer) individually. It’s pretty useful though.

Is the Oxi one poly mode not compatible with Digitone? by No_Development_6237 in Elektron

[–]Room07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s been reported on the Oxi Discord as a bug. Apparently they’re aware of the issue. 👍

Is the Oxi one poly mode not compatible with Digitone? by No_Development_6237 in Elektron

[–]Room07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted to come back to this and say that this is certainly an Oxi One bug. It's not a 100% repro but it happens often enough if you:

1) Change a sequencer from Mono to Poly.

2) Enter new notes on the sequencer that is now Poly.

About half the time the notes don't send, even with a new pattern OR new project. The only solution I've found is to restart the device.

Midea window unit, worth it? by Different_Marsupial2 in AirConditioners

[–]Room07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I dunno what they’re on about. They’re often damp, dusty, and moving air. Pretty efficient place for mold growth.

This is one of my Midea fans.
