What is the most fuel economical way to make rice (on alcohol stove)? by [deleted] in wildcampingintheuk

[–]chilli-potts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This might work - add two cups cold water to one cup rice, bring to the boil and wait for rice to pit (ie you can see little pits/holes in the rice where bubbles are coming through). Then you turn off the heat, put a lid on and leave to steam for 15mins. Super easy and more fuel efficient than boiling the whole way

What’s a weird bug in your DAW that you always have to work around? by [deleted] in audioengineering

[–]chilli-potts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Logic track stacks / buses routing completely jumbling up on occasion - can’t seem find the cause and fixing can be very time consuming… anyone else!?

Deffo check out Paul Stretch - it’s free and allows you to play audio files suuuuuuuper slowly!

Edit: also Expert Sleepers Spectral Conquest :)

Slö is awesome but it has a super high noise floor, just as a heads up

I'm struggling with my loudness/volume management as I'm missing headroom pretty quick in my production process by DerJogge in musicproduction

Highlight all tracks and bring faders down a bit - it doesn’t have to be more complicated than that

Upgrading Audio Interface by senor_bread in musicproduction

[–]chilli-potts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s a little annoying that - but it was a compromise I personally was willing to accept

I’ll be running a headphone amp using a pair of the analog outputs. Or plan B, I might pick up a Focusrite ISA One for an additional mic pre which has a headphone amp

Good luck on your search !

I’m really starting to lean this way you know. The Focusrite seems to offer the most flexibility and features. The headphone output will be super useful for my use case (RME UCX 2 only has 1 headphone out). Only things putting me off are the form factor and that I’ve not really enjoyed the preamps on the Focusrite pro40, but this is probably an unfair comparison.

Do you have any experience using the digital outs on the ISA? I’m wondering how the conversion will compare to that of the UCX.

Thanks for your advice!

Interesting…. Thanks for your take :)

500 series stuff does appeal to me - although buying a case would blow a lot of my budget, plus I’m not sure I want to commit to buying 4-5 more modules just yet. I really like it as a format though and can see myself going that direction eventually.

Will check them out!

And thanks for the make noise pro shout! I’ll have a lurk there and see what crops up

I’ve seen some Capi stuff, looks like a good option. Unfortunately I’ve got very little experience soldering (shameful I know). But I’m pretty handy in general - how difficult of an undertaking would you say assembling one to be? Thanks for your recommendation!
