    Mac Studio (New Hardware Mac Computer)!!!!

    Awesome! Glad you found a work around for Best Service. Will give the sample buffer a play around to see if it works for me too.

    Mac Studio (New Hardware Mac Computer)!!!!

    Thanks for the reply. It’s definitely something I’ll be looking in to. I’m maybe wondering if it has something to do with how Logic is managing the cores. Are you using the automatic setting in the processing cores option in the audio preferences? It will be interesting to see how performance...

    Mac Studio (New Hardware Mac Computer)!!!!

    I just tried loading a few Engine instances running Ancient Era Persia and they seem to be running okay without peaking Threads. I’ll have to check which version of Engine I am running and get back to you. Have you tried using Vienna ensemble locally as a work around?

    Mac Studio (New Hardware Mac Computer)!!!!

    Just finished the transition from trash can to Mac studio. Everything is working well and a large session is only using 50% across all threads, however for some reason when using Plugin Alliance plugins, these are instantly peaking two threads and causing stuttering on playback. I am running...

    James Bond 007: Composing In The Style Of #03

    Thanks for having a listen Roland. I thought about the ramifications of using footage in the background, but as the video is somewhat intended with an educational and informative intent I believe it falls under “fair use”. I also make sure to 99% use footage public available from the film...

    James Bond 007: Composing In The Style Of #03

    Thanks for having a listen Mark. Trying to get a solid workflow down for the videos. I will try and do a Logic Pro + Pro Tools session breakdown with time stamps for the next video😀

    James Bond 007: Composing In The Style Of #03

    Hi Vi Gang, Took a more classic orchestral style approach mixed with some latin vibes, and had fun using the new Orchestral Tools Andea library along with Spitfire Abbey Road Series + many others. Hope you enjoy & please don't hesitate to ask any questions.

    Spicy Spooky Horror Series - Track #1 - Death Whispers

    Hi Gang! Long time lurker here. Thought i'd get out of my comfort zone and do something a little different. Still getting the setup fine tuned, but hope a few people on here might get a kick out of the new series. Doing a quick overview of a short horror trailer type track I quickly whipped up...

    Orchestral Tools: Modus—Jeff Russo (intro offer ends Nov 10)

    I was under the same impression as Henu. Was going to pick this up by the end of the 28th, but was disappointed to see it had already gone up in price.

    Mix With The Masters

    Mix With The Masters is a great resource, however it is quite expensive. It's definitely worth the investment, and the video's are well put together. PureMix is worth checking out if you haven't already. There isn't much as far as orchestral mixing goes, but it's more affordable and in my...

    Thank you Spitfire Audio...

    Thanks Spitfire for continuing to push the boundaries of sample libraries and creating products that not only sound great, but are both intuitive and inspiring to use. Looking forward to Issue 2 of The Spitfire Audio Annual in 2019.

    If you had to choose 3 synths amongst these.

    I would recommend having a look at a Rev 2 (newest iteration of the Prophet 08). This also comes in a desktop module if space is any concern. The sound is great and it sits nicely with a Novation Peak which others here have been mentioning. I own a Peak, Rev 2 and Moog Subsequent 37. I do...

    Anyone recommend a OnePlus 6T phone?

    I am currently using the OnePlus 6. Similar to what Mornats said, I don't think you can go wrong with OnePlus. On a cost vs feature comparison, it can hold its own with the big players like Apple and Samsung. The screen size is great, however the camera can be quite sluggish so if there are any...

    How many of you have a job in something else other than music prod?

    I'm a front of house engineer for corporate events. I would highly recommend the Audio/Visual scene for those looking to get better at the technical side of production.

    Need a good, but small hardware mixer - recommendations?

    While the footprint is quite large, I can highly recommend the Mackie ONYX 1640i. It does use firewire for I/O, but has great onboard EQ and mix bus section. Very versatile for studio use and live use. Solid build quality and built to last.
