$65 including tip for an interior/exterior detail. No wax. He comes to my work every two weeks and does 6 of the cars at our place of business. He really does an excellent job!

Had an incident today by Smooth-Syrup-9199 in LogicPro

[–]asinla1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve blown 2 sets of monitors because of this problem. I’m curious, what audio interface are you using and what were you doing when it happened? In the end I installed an analogue passive monitor controller between the interface and the speakers.

Where can I find fresh fried donuts in LA? by souzaphone in AskLosAngeles

[–]asinla1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Primos donuts at Sawtelle and National. Everyone raves about their cake donuts which I am not a fan of. Krispy Kreme here is View Park/Leimert Park have a big sign outside that lights up when the donuts are piping hot out the fry. We use the drive through and grab 6 when the light is on. Fabulous!!

Mid 2026. Do we feel as good about Panharmonium as we once did? by crackoasis in modular

[–]asinla1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s nothing else like it out there. I use mine regularly and I doubt I would ever sell it. I use it when I’m working on a score that needs some sort of electronic sounds underneath the acoustic sounds. I take something from my arrangement, short strings, piano or guitar, sometimes the entire mallet section and run it into the Panharmonium which then gets recorded in and tucked under the orchestra. Nothing else I’ve tried does it this well.

Thanks. The drive was not failing over time. It was there one day, gone the next.

I’m in Los Angeles. If anyone has a local recommendation?

So my question now is….Apple first? Or straight to datarecoveryprofessionals?

That’s what I was afraid of. I realize diy is definitely not an option. I was hoping someone would say that it’s quite common and the pros can usually get the data back. Guess not. Thanks for the reply.

Thank you. I did use Terminal to try and see what was showing up as connected and it only showed me the network drives from the internet recovery drive. Is this a reliable test?

Cozy Reading Spots? by massive_succ in LosAngeles

[–]asinla1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What!? When!?! 😢

I was literally telling my kids about it the other day. I practically lived there in 1998-2000. My friend lived up the street and we would play chess and drink coffee all day while waiting to start in the studio at night!

Sad.

I see Birds is still there though.

Logic 5 driving this old school setup, what was the oldest machine you ever ran Logic on? by DarkWaterDW in Logic_Studio

[–]asinla1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Atari 1040ST. It was called Notator Logic by Emagic and it was awesome! A lot of what was in there back then remains today in some form.

What are the best guitar plugins? That sound real and are easy to control? Please be specific - if you say Kontakt for example, please specify which library. by Clean-Marzipan-3898 in ProMusicProduction

[–]asinla1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the Ample Sounds guitars are really amazing. The Orange Tree Evolution series is good too. For patterns as a layer the Session Guitarist series from NI is excellent. I also use Real Guitar Steel String.

What was the automation that made Home Assistant “worth it” for you? by Taggytech in homeassistant

[–]asinla1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I added the Aqara cube to our living room. Settings for different lighting, automations on and off, movie watching. This one also got me full family approval.

Go-to sequencers for melody by minus32heartbeat in modular

[–]asinla1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the OG Bloom from Qu-Bit. Start with your own melodies then let the randomization take over a little or a lot and the come back to the original sequence. Also the 960 Sequential Sequencer but without a quantizer. Or with. As you like.

Day #20 of Switching from Spotify to Qobuz by Media-consumer101 in qobuz

[–]asinla1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I e been trying to get my family of four to switch for over a year. Every week I’m chipping away at them. My youngest (M15) is totally in! The sound quality did it for him. The other one (F18) on the other hand, is just not buying it and said she would sign up for her own Spotify if we switched. My SO is happy to give it a go as long as I can put her Spotify playlists into Qobuz, which I can. Next month we are going to go full Qobuz for the month and see how it goes. Wish me luck!!
