Re: RIP Ghobish (AKA Gary Hobish)

Yikes, that is a sad shocker. I haven't been in as regular touch with west coasters since my unexpected east coast transplant, but had seen Gary's return to the forum recently in several posts and assumed he was doing well. This sounds like a tragic accident and unrelated to any health issues, so I ...

Re: Gen 4 Focusrite Scarlett

I've been too busy to comment on this thread, but have been wondering if anyone has seen any hints that the Clarett range might get updated soon. Seems unlikely given that Gen 4 was just released. The Clarett+ has not been updated since it came out in Sept. 2021, superseding the 2015 Clarett series...

Interesting; I didn't see that announcement. I thought I had checked as recently as August 2023, and o...

Re: Sonoma compatibility

On the other hand, if they did it for Windows, their identifier for code-switching may not recognize however Sonoma marks itself, so there's a possibility some of the code is trying to operate as though on Windows. This was a big problem when Apple switched the naming convention for the OS as no pri...

I've been too busy to comment on this thread, but have been wondering if anyone has seen any hints that the Clarett range might get updated soon. That's the one I may use the next time I need/want an 8-channel ADAT expansion for my now down-to-two-or-four-channels desktop "big knob" interf...

Re: Sonoma compatibility

Although I don't recommend going to Sonoma this early, on a matter of principle, the "double-click" on menu might be by design as there seems to be an unfortunate new UX trend in that regard, which I'm noticing on some of my work apps on Windows at the office.

Re: InMusic fires large portion of Moog staff

Oh, so that's the reason Numark and Denon stopped making pro audio gear? I forgot they're part of InMusic now.

Re: Opinions on Miroslav Philharmonik 2 CE?

A pretty good chunk of that lib got put into SampleTank one version ago, maybe even more of it in current version, but I don't think the wind/breath controller mappings made it.

Re: Ozone 11 Upgrade $129??!!!

Ah, I forgot you were talking about Standard vs. Pro, and on its own vs. a not-so-suite deal. Even so, with all the quality plugs out there now from folks like Sonible, that are much cheaper and more advanced in most ways, the selling point for a $100 upgrade on an iZotope product has to be in the q...

Re: Ozone 11 Upgrade $129??!!!

The Music Production Suite upgrade is several hundred dollars. So much for loyalty. Both Ozone and Nectar are updated. I could now kick myself for not prioritizing preparing my iZotope licenses for sale last weekend, but I had too many top priorities to deal with at once. The rate of quasi-updates i...

Re: Consolidation marches on. Looks like Avid may be bought...

Some on GS posted a hugely verbose article from another site, that said even less than the one I posted. :-) But James is right, that talking about going private is an important fact amidst what otherwise is word salad. As someone who has worked in both public and private companies, I am fully aware...

Re: OWC 14-port Thunderbolt Dock on sale until 8/14

My experience has been the opposite, even when they replaced my first one under warranty terms. Very frequently, anything attached to it simply fails to be seen by any part of macOS even when digging in to the command line. Now that eLicenser has gone away (I had to have three of them, plus iLok!), ...

Re: Consolidation marches on. Looks like Avid may be bought...

This article today about the closing of the sale of Avid to STG seems to be an example of how to say a lot without saying anything. The shareholders are happy, so I guess that's what counts. :shock: https://www.mixonline.com/business/breaking-avid-acquired-for-1-4-billion?utm_term=F5289DEA-472F-45E3...

Re: Consolidation marches on. Looks like Avid may be bought...

Wow, I had somehow missed the connection to the Soundwide buyout and merger of NI, Plugin Alliance, iZotope. But as the author says, it is unlikely that Avid would be folded into such an entity. Some great points in the article, and it was good to see alternatives listed, for the NI product family, ...

Re: Consolidation marches on. Looks like Avid may be bought...

Hard to say. They had started farming stuff out to contracting firms overseas and not many were left in the core Pro Tools team. But of course there are other products, and video is a bigger cash cow than audio. Additionally, there's always the question of what happens to Sibelius. Although I've cea...
