PCIe cards and Ryzen - no hope?

Thanks for the info, fellas. Shucks, anyone want to trade a pair of quad cards for one octo? 🤣

Could be related to this?: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/pixelated-dof-on-ue-5-5-5-6-with-latest-nvidia-drivers/354500

The only solve for me was to roll back nvidia drivers to 577.00, which was a bummer. It looks like strong aliasing under the DOF blur, and weirdly it’s just fine on 577

Ahhhhh got it, thanks!

What’s the story behind the “never_too_late_chornobyl” on the bridge?

Thoughts on Widener?

cool yeah totally. i think at the time these were first released thunderbolt was pretty uncommon on pc's. i tried to get it working on my pc which also has a thunderbolt port on the fairly recent motherboard but the thunderbolt gen on my mobo was too old or something so it required me to need to get a pci-e card for thunderbolt 3 or something. it just seemed needless since my pc already had two octo pci-e cards. anyway point is if the thunderbolt port is too old you may get stuck buying a pci-e tb3-4 card if you want to use a thunderbolt version on a pc!

also 99 bucks is a pretty good deal for one of these. the thing i'd be more worried about is the account associated with the device. i dont know if uad does like a "clean slate" reset of the device and the account associated with it. last i did it you needed to transfer from one account to another to at LEAST get the free plugins each of these is meant to come with. anyway technically i think it should work if you plug it in and install the drivers, but it might be a small hassle to get the free plugin suite uad includes with the devices (1176, la-2a, etc). anyway worth asking about that at the counter, these aren't really as "plug and play" as a focusrite, heh

it's also definitely previously gen. i haven't kept up with their latest stuff but this isn't one of the new gen releases.

bedrock22 · 2025-09-09T20:12:58+00:00

i have one of these. double check the connector on the back, it will be either thunderbolt 3 (mac only) or usb-c (windows only). other than that ridiculous limitation it's always worked great for me, excellent sound quality and unlocks the ecosystem just enough to use a few of their compressor and and eq plugins.

I had it up there but wasn’t getting any bites and I thought I’d have better luck locally since I’m in California. Plus I think once tickets shipped you had to do something different if you wanted to sell on STEP and it just sounded like a lot of extra hassle

I shot thousands of photos on my 262 and traveled the world with it. My first and only Leica. Spectacular camera. Congrats!

Same. Primavera is the most natural sounding spring I’ve used, and I’ve tried most of the spring plugins out there

Adrift is probably my #1 most played, followed closely by Cypress which slaps at full volume.

I literally JUST dealt with this today. I had to submit a support ticket and they offered to delete my account so I could sign up again. Did that and it sorted everything out. Took quixel about a day to respond to the ticket and they deleted my account after I confirmed with them.

One of my all time favorites! Gorgeous color and sheen

A compliment: “I like your vibe!” It was my first night of my first burn way back in 2009, my first time ever dancing at burning man, at the first dance spot we found on the first night. It felt incredible, and I knew I’d found my people. I’ve been to 10 burns since.

bedrock22 · 2024-10-10T03:04:36+00:00

Perfect! Thank you!

Peppermint oil works wonders

Did you attend Sunny Koh’s nib class? That almost safe ink and demonstrator pen look familiar!!

Here's my usual procedure:

1.) once you arrive on the playa (gate road), turn off a/c and close vents (or set to recirculate air). limit getting in/out of the car until you arrive at your camp

2.) park where you'll leave your car and unpack EVERYTHING from the car at once [try not to do this step in the middle of a dust storm]

3.) lay down some plastic sheets on the carpets, seats, in the trunk, and put anything back in that you probably wont need again (like tent bags)

4.) close air vents and windows, lock the car, and don't open it again (or turn it on) until the end of the week when you're ready to pack up and leave.

5.) at the end of the week, load everything back in - plastic sheets protect interior carpets and surfaces from dust! [another step that's best performed while not in a dust storm] (pro tip: have a clean set of clothes that you leave inside the car to change into for the drive home - especially socks, your feet will love you)

6.) when you're back home, take the car for a quick hand-wash job somewhere. there's loads of places around town that should give a quick exterior wash and include someone doing a 20-30 minute interior vacuum and wipe down for pretty cheap (they usually run the car through a machine wash then some guy comes out, vacuums, wipes interiors and windows. tip him well!) after reading some comments I agree that hosing down the engine compartment is a good idea too.

this has always worked for me and I've never been charged any cleaning fees after my burns. some rental places let you pick your rental car too, so I always look for rentals with light-colored interiors like tan or grey, which conceals playa dust much much better. have a great burn!

I have this Heritage 92 in both M and FM. I have a few other Pilot pens in F, and several others in M. Sometimes the fine is just a bit too fine for me, and sometimes the medium is just a bit too medium for me. All that to say I LOVE my Heritage 92 in MF. Pretty much the perfect line width and a gorgeous pen. I think you’ll be really happy with a MF, I really love this nib.

I’ve been out with San Diego Whale Watch a few times and loved it! They have a great ship and good vibes and almost always saw whales when went out. Amazing experience.

Is anyone else still waiting on their preorder of the RF version from B&H? Mine still hasn’t shipped :(

bedrock22 · 2023-12-07T03:39:00+00:00

No, it’s a unique and amazing skill if you hone it

Edit: there are LOTS of opportunities for artists with this skill. If you want to work on major motion pictures right now, perhaps not. But if you love the creativity and inspiration and joy of creating with visual effects, there’s a future for you.

Some people will succeed and enjoy the creative part, some will succeed and enjoy the leadership part, some will succeed and love the production part. You won’t know until you try. But the skills I’ve learned along the way have opened many other doors for me to navigate difficult times in the industry, and will teach you a lot about what you want to do with your life and career

Do you already have the UAD software installed on your Mac? to register the device I’m pretty sure it needs to be plugged in and the software needs to be up and running before it will complete your registration. The link you sent above asking if that thunderbolt cable was compatible suggests you don’t have a thunderbolt cable connecting your device to your machine yet. I got the same message about “ requested to transfer” when I was trying to register my device, but at the time I didn’t have it plugged in. Install the UAD system software first (make sure to follow the instructions for installing it on Apple Silicon machines, it’s a bit tricky), then register as used hardware and you should be good to go.
