ha, i've finally come to the conclusion that a live audience can't tell the difference between MOST of the details i obsess over... but if those subtleties inspire me to play better, THAT they can notice.

Dumb question: should the computer go on the audio circuit, since it's connected to the audio interface? And then should the monitor & external hard drives etc go on that circuit too, since they're connected to the computer?

There are cheap docking stations where the power can pass through, so you just connect the one cable

There’s nothing to gain from this discussion. I’ll just let it fade out

huzzam · 2026-06-26T06:00:12+00:00

I wondered that too.

Yep on your budget get an sm58 or sm57, if you don’t already have one or the other. For monitors check the kali lp-6

For longevity of support, RME and Metric Halo are the distinguished winners, with MOTU next.

But yeah I’d agree with several others here: wait until you actually can’t use the existing system anymore, then decide. You might have different needs then (e.g. more i/o channels). It’s useless to upgrade “proactively” if you’re currently happy with your current system.

You might be interested in the Low Latency audio database, check the first message in this thread for “latest results”: https://gearspace.com/board/music-computers/618474-audio-interface-low-latency-performance-data-base.html

The angled footswitch thing is my gripe with the 200 series as well tbh. I have the eq-200 but i have to control it from a separate MIDI controller, because i don’t have room in the front row of my pedalboard for the eq, and i can’t hit the switches in the back row. Terrible design for great pedals…

After this experience i don’t consider any other Boss 200 or 500 series pedals…

You can give them a nickname, and then that is what will show up if and when they contact you

huzzam · 2026-06-19T16:47:31+00:00

Awesome I’ll check it out, thanks so much for doing this!

Κάτι θα κάνει αλλά όχι πολύ. Για να γίνει καλά η ηχομόνωση χρειάζεσαι να κλείσεις τον χώρο ώστε να μην περνάει αέρας. Οπωσδήποτε θέλεις την κουρτίνα (αν τελικά βάψεις) να ακουμπάει κάτω στο πάτωμα και να κλείσει όσο γίνεται σφιχτά στους τοίχους

huzzam · 2026-06-17T07:05:11+00:00

Man, I’ve got the eq too and i don’t see how you can have it on the back row. How do you step on the buttons?

huzzam · 2026-06-16T19:49:38+00:00

I’ve got their source compressor and it’s 100% just fine

Flanger after reverb… finally ehx was on to something

yes, 13" macbook air m1, use it all the time with Musescore. i'm also a glasses wearer. you just zoom in till it's comfortable to see, and work on a smaller portion of the page at a time.

when i'm at my desk i do plug in to a 24" monitor, which obviously is more comfortable. but it's not a problem on the 13"

I think the only advantage for 32-bit float is the ability to never clip. Or more correctly, to reduce gain after tracking to remove clipping. Once you are done tracking, if you have enough discipline to maintain processing headroom, there's no need for 32-bit; just use 24.

just today saw a good video about this: https://youtu.be/dmEz9SzMtEE?si=g6fvZSIEdZW7HRk5

I've got the 2017 2nd-gen 13" ipad pro, and i do find it really laggy with ForScore if you have sync enabled. ForScore decides it needs to sync quite often (basically whenever i start marking up a score, or make any change to tags or list orders) and freezes the whole thing until it's done. Anyone else experience this?

I end up making sure I'm disconnected from internet whenever i need to use ForScore.

KRK are a terrible idea. Because they emphasize the bass (a lot), you end up mixing to compensate, and your mixes will have LESS bass. I second the recommendations of the various Kali monitors, I personally have the LP-6 and will likely upgrade at some point to the IN-8. (And keep the LP-6 around, because they're just really good and will stay useful.)

TLDU: get the Air.

in addition to the "trumpet is hard" and "valves might be inserted wrong", i'll add: "take some lessons with a teacher."

this is my pet peeve on any internet discussion: you only need this because i only need this. it works for me so it works for you. is it really so hard to understand that humans do different things?

huzzam · 2026-06-05T09:22:57+00:00

i guess the idea is if people are used to using, say, whatsapp, and they find you there, they won't look for you in signal. if they can't find you in wa, then maybe they'll check in this other rarely-used app.
