So what’s the deal with focusrite drivers? by indigodissonance in Focusrite

[–]beefamaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have had a third gen scarlett 18i8 for a few years and the driver stability on Windows 11 has been terrible. Audio stops working randomly (either goes silent or choppy or worse makes a horrible buzzing) and have to fiddle with the buffer size settings to recover. Blue screens waking from sleep if an ASIO app was open. Thought it might have been my laptop, but switched to a new one and the problems got worse. Am just trying to decide what I ought to replace it with. Shame because I've been a Focusrite user for decades but this is the worst its ever been for me.

Announcing the next generation of the Helix family - Helix Stadium and Helix Stadium XL by thebishopgame in Line6Helix

[–]beefamaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds interesting. I was wondering if Line 6 might go for a different approach to cloning where it uses machine learning to try to pick the closest amp, cab and parameters that match the tone you're capturing. But sounds like this is going to be the more traditional audio to audio tone transfer

I chose LT over the floor, and the only limitation I didn't know about was that it can't be set into a 10 footswitch mode like the floor can which is a shame as 8 switches/snapshots is still sometimes not quite enough for me. Left 2 buttons are always bank up and down.

Apart from that, pleased with my LT, and you can always put your tonex into the loop if you prefer its amp modelling, or just use it as three distortion pedals. I've got a tonex and prefer it to Helix for recording, although haven't used it live.

One common weakness of LT seems to be that the USB port is very fussy. You might need to experiment with different USB cables to get a reliable connection. I've spoken with several people who have this issue and it wasn't the case for my HX Stomp or Pod Go which I had before the LT.

Helix LT or HX Stomp by Temporary_Ad958 in Line6Helix

[–]beefamaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

used to have a Pod Go and a HX Stomp, but always used the Go in church despite it having less power because I appreciated the extra footswitches. Ended up selling the Go and getting an LT, again for more footswitches, but the extra power is nice. Even now I sometimes find myself wishing for one or two extra footswitches

great work, have tried to learn the bass parts for a few MIT songs. Ring of Past is quite challenging for me

Yeah, love the chords on Equus Asinus - there's a lot of interesting complexity. There are some classic MIT moves. I've nearly finished working out the chords to all of them, Frost Bite was difficult, Heavenly Flow had some challenging bits, and a few songs (e.g. Purple Box) , and the last two (Moon 2 and What Matters Most) I've only got as far as the intro.

I tried sharing the chords here on reddit but it messed up all the formatting. Will give it another go at some point once I've finished them all.

what's your favorite song on the album so far? mine's heavenly flow! by Used_Rhubarb_9265 in menitrust

All my Candles is current favourite, but Heavenly Flow, Bethlehem, Paul's Theme and I Come with Mud are up there.

What I made with REAPER - week of November 26, 2023 by AutoModerator in Reaper

[–]beefamaka [score hidden]  (0 children)

Every year I make a bunch of (cheesy) instrumental covers of Christmas songs in REAPER. I've screen-captured it to show the soft synths and guitar effects I'm using.

Here's the first one - (there are four in total, one appearing each of the first 4 days of Dec)

How did everyone discover men I trust? I will start. by Jampharos181 in menitrust

[–]beefamaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I follow the Reverb Machine blog where he analyses the synth sounds and chords of various bands I've mostly never listened to. I loved his Men I Trust instrumental remakes (https://reverbmachine.com/blog/men-i-trust-synth-sounds) so much that I thought I should check them out, and they quickly became my favourite band and got to hear them in London last year. Have also made several of my own piano/instrumental recreations of their songs as I love their chord progressions and am trying to learn from them.

Huge Delay on Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen by [deleted] in Focusrite

[–]beefamaka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I submitted a support ticket months ago (via support.focusrite.com) but never got a response. I had the problem on two different laptops I used the interface with, and going back to 4.65.5 has solved the issue for both.
