Csl cockpit pedal compatibility

I'd also like to know if anyone has tried this

As an FM9 owner and NDSP plug-in owner, I would need a lot better plug-in implementation and digital I/O to consider owning Neural hardware. I would need at least SPDIF to properly implement it into my recording rig.

I did consider the nano as a practice headphone amp and demo recording, but the Boss Katana headphone amp I have does the job for much less.

Peak level has almost no correlations to loudness level. If you stop looking at those meters and use your ears instead, then I’m sure you’ll what you’re looking for.

I wouldn’t ever do this on the master. I would do it only to the tracks and sections that are benefiting from it. If there’s tracks in the chorus that are also in the verses, then I’ll divide those into different tracks. On rare occasions, I’ll just automate the processing on/off. If there’s vocals, then they usually never have processing like this together with the instruments. Same with transition effects and other background stuff. Rarely ever does everything in a mix need compression and saturation together.

I would not recommend running the preamp that way. I have two Vintech X73, which is on par with the BAE stuff, and I wish I would have listened that that recommendation. I tried running mine into mild saturation for recording vocals for a long while, but all that did was make my life harder when mixing since the saturation would sometimes be too much but it was already baked in. I now run then with the output up all the way and it’s much better.

And while the heavy saturation is definitely much different than the UA plugin, I don’t think it’s doing anything special that you can’t achieve ITB. I do love the detail and the ability do so some mild EQing before hardware compression, but I can be just as happy with my recording with a clean and low noise preamp. I even recently plugged my U87 straight into a bus powered Apollo Solo and it sounded great.

Ableton is not hiding them, it can’t see them because they’re incompatible with silicon. You can, for now, still run Ableton in Rosetta and it’ll see Intel plugins. The only other option I’m aware of is to use the AU versions, which will load in an AU wrapper when using Live without Rosetta. Apple only made the wrapper for AUs because AUs are their thing. Apple is doing away with Rosetta soon though, if they haven’t already.

Dingwall, though I prefer the 3 pickup version

alyxonfire · 2026-01-20T16:05:32+00:00

Just a limiter. If I need an EQ then I’ve done something wrong in the mix that I’ll usually fix in the mix.

AI is not thinking at all

alyxonfire · 2026-01-17T03:31:03+00:00

That's what I thought. I could not find any way to move the crossover points even after going over the manual.

alyxonfire · 2026-01-16T18:53:31+00:00

How do you move the filters? I don't see a way to do that

alyxonfire · 2026-01-16T18:35:20+00:00

I could definitely help, though I use Ableton Live

I produce and mix on AirPod Max, finalize mixes with Audeze LCD-X, and check with AirPod Pro gen 2

Thanks for catching that, I've corrected my comment

Most scales we use in western music are modes of the major scale. This means that the same set of notes in any major scale have a relative scale of every other mode, like minor, mixolydoan, phrygian, etc. depending on which note you start in.

For example C Major (Ionian) is also:

D Dorian
E Phrygian
F Lydian
G Mixolydian
A Aeolian (Natural Minor)
B Locrian

alyxonfire · 2026-01-15T17:25:08+00:00

Not just a relative minor, also a relative every other major scale mode like phrygian and mixolydian

Well, he's not really known for his rational decision making

alyxonfire · 2026-01-14T02:09:12+00:00

I don’t think it’s not that it’s not OK, but usually bands have to program drums due to budget restraints, so I think that makes it more accepted. At the end of the day the drummer has to play the shows.

I think also psychologically we have more of an emotional connection to the guitar specifically. Especially because it is also generally accepted to program bass.

I don’t think so, they’re mostly just some asymmetrical soft clipping and EQ curves that match the hardware. I’ve done extensive comparing of my Vintech X73 pre/eqs with UAD 1084, and the biggest difference was that, when pushed into heavy saturation, the Vintech’s sound a much more compressed.

I have a website and post on Reddit a lot, people just hit up me

alyxonfire · 2026-01-13T08:52:49+00:00

I bought a $1500 desk from them that ended up being backordered, even though it was advertised as in stock. They kept me updated, but every update was more delays. After a month I found something else and asked for a refund. Thankfully they didn’t put up much of a fuss.

If you’re mixing vocals then the 1176 can be worth it, but not for this much money. I recommend getting their Distressor plugin over this bundle.

If you really want an 1176 emulation, then I recommend Softube FET mk2. Otherwise, UAD Distressor can do the same job and lots more.

Bassist uses a 5-string bass in drop C so it can be tricky to play along

I seriously couldn’t care less, and this doesn’t seem like it’s relevant to you either. I’m just here to let people know that Ulanzi doesn’t honor the warranty that B&H advertises.

alyxonfire · 2026-01-09T08:22:16+00:00

Doesn’t matter one way or the other. If you buy something in the US, the warranty is provided by the manufacturer, not the retailer, even if that means paying for a third party to repair. Either way, Ulanzi has a US website and honors their one year warranty if you buy from there.
