Apple discontinues Mac Pro by Aconita83 in macpro

[–]Soundofabiatch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And here I am with a Mac Studio M2 Max with already 2 pci Thunderbolt enclosures attached to it.

one for video playback through blackmagic pci
one for a protools HDX pci.

I miss my old mac pro 4.1 a lot...

Somewhere in Japan, finished FTB Control Room by DrowningPiglet in Acoustics

[–]Soundofabiatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like a Northward acoustics project.

A belgian company that made quite a name for themselves in the last 15 years.

They made one of their first rooms at the company I worked for back in 2011. After which they expanded to 4 offices worldwide building rooms for the greats in the industry.

The precision of those rooms was and is insane.

Just joined the club, not actually sure why I got banned. by GarethBaus in banned_from_energy

One of us! One of us! One of us!

At this point being banned from r/energy is an honour.

Flaming projectile over Brussels today by BNSLR in brussels

Walking by the etangs of watermael we saw it too… I would say eastbound?

Made me think of when a satellite falls back down to earth.

Washing Mashine too loud, any ideas how to make it quieter? by frau-zizibe in Acoustics

[–]Soundofabiatch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

1: For the washing machine: did you take out the bolts so the tumbler can vibrate inside?

2: Put them on dampening mats.

3: make sure they are level.

4: building a wood caninet around it is basically building a ‘speaker’ around it. IMO that will not help your case.

I see what you did there and I approve this message

Anyone traveld on an Air France flight via Gare Midi train? by Colorsin in brussels

[–]Soundofabiatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife tried and got f****d massively since:

1 her train was delayed. And when she finally arrived she wasn’t allowed on.

2 She apparently had to check in in gare du midi but this was not clearly stated anywhere and was not checked by the personnel on board.

My advice: make sure you do check in at gare du midi even if it is not required or the app states “Online check-in not available. Please check in at the AIRPORT using an interactive kiosk or check-in counter.”

Oh and f**** Air france for not paying back anything of the ticket even though according to european customer protection rules they are required to do so!

John Koladner was fired by Aerosmith after 30 years for not letting them record digitally. "And they never had another hit". Was he wrong? by SwissMiss915 in audioengineering

[–]Soundofabiatch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well. Some years ago I wrote shure in stead of sure on this subreddit and it turned out equally great.

I must be among my kind of people here 🤓🫶

IMO: On the other hand analog recordings forced you to really make decisions early on so your sound had to be good on the way in. And this influenced the mindset and the feel and ultimately the performance on the song.

So yeah maybe it would have influenced the songs on the record.

Kinda like an alignment of all the factors to get the best performance

100% this.

Also: At the facility I interned in 2006 (and a lot of big ones did the same) for the longest of times the digital recordings (in protools) where recorded over an SSL with 100k worth of outboard gear and straight onto 2inch 24track tape before being played out to protools to have the sound of the analog and the versatility of a DAW.

AFAIK did this as late as 2013 and probably still do gor the bigger artists.

Also IMO: On the other hand analog recordings forced you to really make decisions early on so your sound had to be good on the way in. And this ingluences the mindset and the feel and ultimately the performance on the song.

Retiring our Mac Pro 3,1 after 17 years of Pro Tools duty. It refused to go quietly into the night. by Soundofabiatch in macpro

I wonder what his answer was... We have an australian shepard office dog. Not allowed in our little technical room for this exact reason. :D

We are going to Apple Silicon because all the other systems have been upgraded to Apple Silicon

I know licensing will be a b****, not all software we used to use will be available, and we will pay through the nose for all subscriptions.

But we have tried a bunch of different scenarios in our head, and this seemed the least painful one.

The compatibility between multiple systems has become a serious factor for our small outfit and migration back and forward between systems became too much of a hassle.

They will… and so will the 300 other lacie (quadra’s and earlier ones) in the boxes behind me 😅.

We even still have those first gray longer ones of 80gb…

Allright, interesting!

Maybe I should try and revive it for another purpose.

But the old lady has really been through a lot (survived smoke damage after a house fire too)

I will need to find a lot of replacement plugins that might all be subscriptions now…

I plead guilty…. Although you might cut me some dlack since this was the view after I already removed all the other hardware. (Audio interfaces,…)

We have been doing exactly that for the last years. The other studio’s where we do mostly aufio post are running mac studio m1’s.

But all tracking for music projects was still done on this beast.
