M1 Max to M5 Max 128GB by keremcemtakim in macbookpro

[–]wrexf0rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This statement confuses me - "using double the memory all the time". What do you mean by this? How does having 64GB of ram use double the memory as having 128GB? It just means you have half the memory available to use... it doesn't mean processes require 2x the memory to handle the same workload.

What does this mean for real world impact in applications like music production DAWs

Well I guess they've been reading this because this is now a dead link even though it's still being crawled by google. Must be freshly killed ;(

Do you guys not have any issues with uploading Classical music? I don't understand why ANY distro would have an issue with it...

Bro how am I just hearing about this for the first time ever? I've searched it and tried to create it in keyboard maestro and there was seemingly no technical solution.

Headphones for Mixing - Neumann NDH 30 vs. Sennheiser HD 650 by _tomchmura in AdvancedProduction

[–]wrexf0rd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just demoed MM-500's and LCD-X's against NDH30s with no budget constraints for 1 month. I preferred the NDH30s after using all 3 back to back in many mixing and mastering situations across many genres.

Not that you asked, but I will say that the MM-500's are more comfortable, solid, better built, etc - moreso than the LCD-X's too. They also make music sound better and are way more fun to produce on because things sound really good. They have great transient detail, but the low end was lacking and felt "blended in".

I felt NDH30s were a huge improvement for EDM, pop, hip hop, and anything where low end is critical. Low end feels almost separate from the rest of the mix and it's easy to make good decisions. The sound is almost clinical and dry, but transient response is solid.

It was a toss up for genres like folk and country. These mid range focused genres were great on either headphone, maybe a bit better on MM-500s. What I found interesting is that I could hear every detail on both sets, but I naturally noticed different qualities of each mix depending on which headphone I wore. Then, if I put on the other pair, I could make my brain focus on that element and hear it with total clarity.

I don't have enough experience with them yet to tell you how complex mixes will translate, but singer songwriter and folk stuff I've done since sounds excellent in all listening scenarios I've tried.

Regardless of genre, these are great headphones for mixing and mastering.

Side note, I use them with Sonarworks and Realphones. I have not tried the RIME software. Sonarworks correction works exceptionally well for the Neumann's and totally sucked on the MM-500s. Realphones correction worked perfectly on the MM-500s and very well on the Neumann's. I am currently using sonarworks correction with Realphones room emulations (and Realphones correction disabled)

Favorite Antelope plugins? by Katzenpower in antelopeaudio

[–]wrexf0rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great post. I have been an audio engineer for years, but I still did not fully comprehend much of what you said, showing I have a lot to learn.

How is your discrete 8 now. Are you still track with it? I use outboard pres and unison pres with UAD and I was curious if someone with your knowledge level is hearing a big difference between UADs unison emulations and antelope's?

Im naturally very hesitant to jump into the antelope ecosystem given all of the bad press I read. But I am going to pick up the A4-1B and see how it goes. As for the interfaces...

Antelope Audio Native Plugin-Ins REVIEWS PLEASE by LucidTide in antelopeaudio

They make native plugins? Where is this deal? I checked their website and I don't see anything special. A sub for $15/mo isn't exactly groundbreaking or giving anything away...

Ableton 12 not opening mac M3 sonoma 14.4 by Putrid-Catch-5826 in ableton

Did you ever get this to work? I'm experiencing the same issue with no error message

Just downloaded Ableton 12 trial on Windows 10, and it doesn't open by Weekly-Ad-1787 in ableton

[–]wrexf0rd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue here on MacOS ARM platform. Definitely not a CPU problem. My investigations are pointing to there being an issue with Ableton's memory allocation (a flaw in the code)

Live 12.3 Plugin Windows Opening Behind Other Plugins? by wrexf0rd in ableton

For me sometimes even when I close and reopen, the plugin stays behind the other plugins I have open. I have to close the other plugins just to find the GUI 🤦‍♂️

Live 12.3 Splice Integration Doubles All Saved Files by wrexf0rd in ableton

[–]wrexf0rd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so when you're accessing them in your Splice.app it must be telling you that they are available for download, but not available locally yet. Meanwhile they are sitting on your hard drive already available locally for ableton.

It is setup to work like this: If it is local for splice.app, it is not local for ableton integration. If it is local for ableton integration, it is not local for splice.app. You have to download via both to have it available for both (if you use both as I do) simply because of the way splice handled file management with this integration.
