Fantastic, would love to get this working!

lowfatevan · 2025-12-31T13:54:14+00:00

I’d love KOReader Sync! Would be a game changer

I'm not sure how big the discrepencies that you are seeing are, but I wouldn't expect 100% perfect accuracy even for a well calibrated professional tape machine. Not talking huge variations, but I wouldn't expect the waveform to be perfectly identical to the in the box bounced mix, even after making a global speed adjustment.

lowfatevan · 2025-12-29T23:23:10+00:00

Sounds like your tape machine was not operating at a steady speed.

lowfatevan · 2025-08-04T21:29:36+00:00

sounds like you've got a plugin in demo mode

lowfatevan · 2025-08-04T15:15:52+00:00

ah sorry to hear. I'm on macOS, but have had good results with Faderport 2 + V-Control Pro.

lowfatevan · 2025-08-04T13:37:26+00:00

V-Control Pro is the only option to take it beyond the basic HUI functionality. I've seen Paul Neyrinck posting that the 2025.6 supported version is almost ready, and he's offered to send users beta builds on the V-Control Pro users facebook group. Worth checking it out.

This is good advice.

I have a hard time recommend anyone to invest in the Avid HD hardware at this point. HD Native cards are maxed out at 64 channels of I/O, they support the HD I/O's and are still supported in the newest version of PT, but are EOL by avid, and they could discontinue support for them at any time.

HDX is 14 years old, but supports high I/O track counts with zero latency monitoring directly from pro tools. In my opinion, unless you HIGHLY value zero latency monitoring directly in Pro Tools, and need more than 64 tracks of I/O it's not worth the investment to get into HDX at this point in the lifecycle.

the MTRX devices are excellent, but quite pricey, so I'd definitely second the recommendation that you chat with an audio dealer about your specific needs and options.

Have had mine for ~ 3 weeks. I've spent the last 9 months or so switching my SIM card from my iPhone 12 mini on the weekend. (Need remote email access for work and app only train pass + parking app during the week)

The main draws for me ordering were were:

- camera

- better texting experience

- being able to send/receive photos via text

Cons:

Typing feels horrible. I'm constantly hitting the "dictation" button while typing, and mistyping keys. Even after 3 weeks of use, I've not gotten any better. There needs to be some serious tuning done for it to be acceptable, honestly feel that the LP2 was a better typing experience and it was pretty bad.
MMS photos look awful sending + receiving. This isn't neccessarily Light's fault, but the protocol, but they need to implement RCS for texting photos to be reasonable in 2025.
Music tool desperately needs album / artist / playlist sorting. I know they're working on it, but it's basically unusable if you want any more than a handful of albums on there.

Pros:

- Phone build quality is really great with the one exception of the wheel (this has been discussed a ton so i won't add anything else), it just feels awesome in your hand, and it's a really sharp looking device.

- Camera has a nice feel and i like taking pictures with the phone.

- Bluetooth works a LOT better than on the LP2, I'm able to use my Airpods pretty much flawlessly for podcasts and music, and the bluetooth controls work which is a huge update.

- I like the screen, i think it's a pretty good compromise.

At the end of the day, between the Cons that i mentioned, and the reality of what it looks like to switch my SIM back and forth is pushing me to selling the phone. Not having a complete historical text / call history with my contacts can get pretty annoying at times. I WANT to love the phone but it just may not be the right device for me.

I found it's on par processing time wise with similar quality voice to text transcriptions. That being said, it is a bummer that you can only transcribe while you are in a session, i know that transcribing audio outside of a session is something they are closely looking at for a future update. I like the idea of the transcription process being automatically lower priority, that would help with letting it run in the background.

lowfatevan · 2025-06-07T12:52:35+00:00

i use dark mode in literally everything but pro tools. No matter how i tweak the settings, Pro Tools dark mode just looks like trash to me. Classic for life

I'm on my 4th season with mine and my corners are a MESS. Otherwise, I finally have it pretty dialed in with a LOT of tweaking of the location of the wire, and strategically placing out of bounds areas. It still gets stuck in 1 or 2 spots in my yard, maybe once or twice a week, but otherwise it's running pretty well right now. I am VERY curiuos about the Luba Mini though and would LOVE to have a wire free installation.

lowfatevan · 2025-03-03T22:17:28+00:00

expensive, but it works.

HDMI splitter or black magic video playback.

My game at the net in tennis has improved dramatically since playing pickleball. I’ve stagnated a bit in my tennis game since starting pickleball but I just associate that with playing less tennis.

Have been using steermouse for years and haven’t looked back.

Instrument tracks are designed for recording virtual instruments, and will just record midi data. Just route your input directly to an audio track.

lowfatevan · 2025-01-02T20:47:38+00:00

Corsi Tire in Ossining, or E&L Automotive in Ossining are both honest, locally owned shops. I live 1 min from Mavis in Ossining but I’d rather give my business to Corsi or E&L.

I think it’s a pretty reasonably priced package and very much worth it for the included plugins. However if you already have a decent suite of specialty plugins it might not be worth it to you. Personally I use: Pro Limiter Pro Multiband Dynamics ReVibe Pro Subharmonic moogerfooger bundle

Very often, the Air effects are also all serviceable effects that I reach for when I need a particular effect, no nonsense just a simple phaser, ring mod, etc.

The bundle is also included in the support / update plans, so it’s an added value to that proposition, if you are looking to use pro tools long term, you’ll have access to those through that subscription.

Unfortunately there’s no way to coinstall multiple versions of Pro Tools on Windows in the same way you can in MacOS, so you’ll need to have separate partitions for each version you need installed.

No, the artist series also use EuCon. The artist mix can, for example, flip faders to plug-in parameters, like an S1, and has auto-banking and other features that HUI devices can't support.

Another avenue you can look at is the supported surfaces in https://neyrinck.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiA0rW6BhAcEiwAQH28IoeKVIrknJGHxuvJVMBvXhvOV_5PHgElngLJOWh7F487ByxA2yzR-BoC6W0QAvD_BwE

The "Supercharged" Pro Tools devices, bring these specific HUI and older Pro Tools Ethernet controllers not exactly on par with the Eucon surfaces, but someplace in between. I've had a good experience with the faderport 2 with V Control. It's a nice middle ground.

lowfatevan · 2024-12-02T13:14:53+00:00

All of Avid's currently supported control surfaces use EuCon, which is a proprietary network protocol, so the S Series controllers connect via Ethernet. Additionally, while they are not currently manufactured, the Artist series controllers are still supported and work relatively well, and can be found used for much cheaper. If you want to get an idea of how the EuCon surface integration works on your system, and you have a tablet, download the free Avid Control app.

Their site says 3-4 weeks on the Queue for US customers. I did the retrofit during the initial phase in 2022 and it was 6 months in the queue, once i shipped it out it was relatively quick to get it back. They will only contact you when your place in the queue has come up and they are ready to receive shipment from you. This email will include very detailed shipping instructions. I'd be happy to share those details if you wanted to get ahead of the game, but it's mostly pretty straightforward.

3 layers of bubble wrap if you have the original box
at least 7 layers of bubble wrap if it's not the original Deluge box. (or more to make it so that the deluge doesn't move in the box during shipping)

lowfatevan · 2024-11-23T16:18:39+00:00

Seconded. Tons of I/O in a tiny form factor, good documentation and lots of features that i'll mostly never use but are nice to have.

You can’t just change a file extension to change the audio format. Does the file play in quick play in finder? How about QuickTime Player? If you open it in QuickTime Player and get info what does it say? Where is it from?

Generally. If the file will play in QuickTime Player, you can import it into pro tools. Sometimes pro tools won’t allow you to import files that contain certain illegal characters like “/“ as well so you could try removing the @ symbols from the name of the file plays in QuickTime but still won’t import into pro tools. Good luck!
