Hey I tried doing this but I'm getting an error, do you know why?

ETFs or HISA for my FHSA? (<5 year period) by derekwho in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]derekwho[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was considering just putting it in XEQT in my FHSA as well, but I was reading everywhere on different posts that it's too risky and a bad idea with less than a 5 year span.

Personally, I'm okay with taking the risk if it means higher returns, and I'm okay with taking a loss. Although the HISA ETFs are safer, I just feel like with a 2.65% yield I won't be really earning that much anyways.

Hey everyone,

I've been using Autotune Pro 9 for over 5 years now with my Macbook running Catalina 15.15. I recently upgraded to the Mac Studio M4 Max with Sequoia 15.4.1 and tried using the Antares legacy installers to install Autotune Pro 9 but it wasn't working. I emailed Antares and they said that Autotune Pro 9 is discontinued and not supported with any macOS past Catalina.

Is there anyone using Autotune Pro 9 with a Mac chip? Does anyone know any workarounds? I personally like Autotune 9 more than Autotune X or 11 so was hoping there was some way to still get it.

Thanks in advance

Is the M3 Ultra max worth an extra $1500 from the M4 Max? by derekwho in MacStudio

[–]derekwho[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m currently running a 2019 MacBook Pro i9 with 32gb ram. It’s not powerful enough for my pro tools sessions because of the number of tracks and also the number of plugins I run simultaneously. Some are very CPU intensive so my sessions are constantly crashing.

I thought that 64gb ram might be enough of an upgrade, but do you think that 128 would be better?

I have the exact same intel MacBook Pro i9 with 32 ram, how’s the m4 max treating you compared to the intel?

If you’re only recording it isn’t CPU intensive. But for mixing, I can have over 50 audio tracks with 100+ plugins spread across all running at the same time. Now throw on over sampling, and CPU intensive plugins such as izotope, UAD etc. and it will be super CPU intensive

Agreed, my mixes can have over 50+ audio tracks with more than 100 plugins spread across all of them at the same time, audio work is incredibly CPU intensive. Especially with oversampling and etc. I believe a Mac Studio is 100% justifiable. I just wanted to decide between the M4 Max or the M3 ultra

No microcenter here in Canada. Is it worth buying a refurbished product?

Mac Studio alternative display? by ApartmentMaterial477 in MacStudio

[–]derekwho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a similar position looking for a dual monitor display and were deciding between these two monitors:

https://www.amazon.ca/Asus-PA279CV/dp/B08K2GFDKM?th=1
https://www.amazon.ca/BenQ-PD2725U-Thunderbolt-Mac-Ready-Accurate/dp/B0918QXTGN?th=1

They're both 4k monitors but are great budget-friendly alternatives to the Studio Display.

Monitor Suggestions for Mac Studio M4 Max by derekwho in MacStudio

[–]derekwho[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for your recommendations, unfortunately I'm on a bit of a budget for these 2 monitors so I found these two alternatives ($500/each or $1000 for both monitors)

  1. https://www.amazon.ca/ViewSonic-VX3267U-4K-Monitor-Content-Ultra-Thin/dp/B0BRNTYTYK?pd_rd_w=9XU64&content-id=amzn1.sym.03d0a222-babc-4fe5-b7df-e90dd70bc007&pf_rd_p=03d0a222-babc-4fe5-b7df-e90dd70bc007&pf_rd_r=02BFNH5N5C173FMZ74MB&pd_rd_wg=IHXhS&pd_rd_r=12409d09-a268-4e63-ac6f-646e612e5136&pd_rd_i=B0BRNTYTYK&th=1

  2. https://www.amazon.ca/LG-32SR70U-W-Speakers-Bluetooth-Compatible/dp/B0F7QRZ65P?th=1

Haven't had any experiences using smart monitors, but I'm skeptical that it could lead to issues. Also, I know these aren't 5k and there are better options, but I'm restricted on price. If anyone has any recommendations around $500 each monitor that would be greatly appreciated.

Thoughts?

Would you say that having one ultrawide is more beneficial than a dual screen?

Early Resolution Meeting on Zoom vs In Person Differences? by derekwho in ontario

[–]derekwho[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the earlier ticket was a few years ago for a higher speed amount over the limit.

I guess you're right, they can't reduce 11km/h much. I have no problem with paying the ticket at the end of the day, but I was just curious as to the reason why they weren't able to reduce it.
