QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Jun 3 2020, 09:31 PM)  NICE!! The UA is a killer interface to be sure. Can run hardware assisted versions of very high end plugins with negligible impact on the cpu. Nice setup! That was the initial attraction. That and also that it (UAd 'Arrow') comes with UAs daw and 12 free UA plugins. Their interfaces, even the bottom level model that I got, seem expensive initially but the ease of use and sound quality was what I needed to get up and running fast on my current and relatively low powered computer. With the DSP in the interface I can track with one or two fx or even an amp plugin with zero latency (1 or2 ms). Because I'm mostly recording my amps, I wanted the option of having various mic pres that I can record through and "print" with no latency via my dual core, i5 macbook. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Well, I did stick a nail into the side of a table ...
 Also, and probably only for folks in the States, these Monoprice headphones are pretty great for just $17 ... https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=8323  Detachable cable too. Monoprice has a lot of accessory type music/audio/video gear that's decent quality and at great prices. It pays to order a few things as they don't do any free shipping. https://www.monoprice.com/category/pages/13 This post has been edited by klasaine: Jun 6 2020, 02:19 AM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

That is a great price for those cans. My cans with detacable xlr cables were almost $100 each. I think you paid less for your headphone stand as well
 One good thing about the move is I finally have decent Internet speed compared to where I was. I used to be thrilled with 40 Mbps downstream which now seems just awful. I've lived with crap internet for years.  QUOTE (klasaine @ Jun 5 2020, 08:52 PM) Well, I did stick a nail into the side of a table ...

It's not real clean and tidy like y'alls but it's getting the job done ...

The Neve looking thing is a 'clone' of a 1073 (Warm Audio WA273EQ) that I've had for awhile and relatively speaking, not expensive. I used to take that to sessions in home or small studios that didn't have much outboard gear. It's one of the most classic ways to treat a mic'd guitar amp. *It's great on vocals too ... anything really. The Two Notes Torpedo I got just before the lockdown. That is a cool piece of gear. I have all these great amps that I can once again crank up and play at midnight. And I have now discovered IRs. Yes, I know I'm totally late to the party
 Fun stuff!I did buy a couple of mics - a condenser and a ribbon. I had a few mics from way back. A couple of 57s and an AKG C-1000 which I've found is great on acoustic. Obviously, because I'm old, most of those amps and the guitars I've had for a long time. Seriously, I own gear that is considered "vintage" that I bought new. But, I will need a more powerful computer if I want to do anything more than lay guitar parts on to other people's tunes. The reason I went with the Universal Audio interface is because it uses it's own DSP. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Gonna stick with Mac but yeah, a refurb is probably the way I'll go.
Like I said, for what I need to do, my Mac is running fine. If I want to get into tracking and mixing more than just me - then I'll need more power. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Jul 5 2020, 02:00 PM) Has your mac given you the "out of resources" error when tracking? Looks pretty new. Have you had trouble tracking or mixing on it? No. It's a 2017 mbp but it's only a dual core i5 with 8gb of ram ... and I can't add more, as what's there is soldered in. I'm doing OK for now. The fans will spin pretty good when tracking for a couple of hours but if I point my portable AC unit right at it, it seems to handle everything a lot better. -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

QUOTE (Anese @ Jul 6 2020, 12:07 PM) sorry for sticking my nose so close in, is there a specific reason for putting that piece of cardboard under the mackbook and the interface? i thought it might be for insulation and avoiding circuit loops, but then i realized that the table is already made of wood so that got me wondering  Ha, ha! No. That table used to be, until the end of March, the "work bench" in my garage and I put that hunk of cardboard on it to protect the table from oil, solder, grease, solvent, screwdriver marks, etc. I can also write on it. I just left it on there when it turned into my 'studio'. Mostly so I can scrawl notes to myself. The photo makes it look grungier than it really is.
