Hey thanks for the reminder. I forgot to do that when I got my Mini. The externals were running without Trim enabled.

Many moons ago there was a reverb by Kind of Loud called Realverb. I used it on many recordings. Kind of Loud got bought out by Universal Audio and it's the only reason I invested in a UAD card. UA renamed it Realverb-Pro and then added some features and named it Dreamverb. Both Realverb-Pro and Dre...

So, the guitar player in one of the bands I work in (yes I currently work for 2 different bands - a scheduling nightmare and story for another day) is a big Sleep Token fan. I've listened to some of Sleep Token's stuff and it's not my cup of tea, but one of the things I really don't like is the voca...

Wow. Thanks. Should put it in the tips sheet.

You're just talking about the electrolitics, right?

Sounds suspicious to me. Anything that would cause ALL the capacitors in a unit to fail at once would cause a lot more damage than just capacitor failure. How did they determine that they are all bad? I'm calling BS. Just sayin.

Phil, do you recall the difference in the cost of buying from Radial versus making your own using the design you posted? Here's the transformer I used: https://www.markertek.com/product/jt-db-e/jensen-jt-db-e-direct-box-transformer I think it was about 10 bucks cheaper back then. I used a cast alum...

If you are looking for a passive unit I highly recommend something that uses a Jensen transformer. The Radial JDI is one that does. If you're handy with electronics you can build your own. Here's a simple passive schematic from the Jensen site: https://www.jensen-transformers.com/wp-content/uploads/...

Every now and then I get these ghosts from the past as well. I have a project that I call digital loopback that I use for listening to system sound through DP. It started telling me at start-up that an old Elemental Audio plugin couldn't be found, but that plugin had been removed from the project ye...

thanks, HC

...Also, a punch-in pedal comes in mighty handy when working alone. How do you interface your punch-in pedal with DP? My old 828 has a 1/4 inch jack for a pedal, but it's a PIA to set it up just to use a pedal. BTW, I too typically put two measures at the beginning. Your friendly neighborhood Phil

You can also enable just the soundbites in the view filter before selecting.

I'm not at all familiar with the Focusrite units, but when I was connecting my Apogee unit to my MOTU 828 there was a setting on the Apogee unit for clocking via ADAT. If this setting was wrong I would get clicks. Check your manual for similar settings. Also, I found that making your USB device (in ...

I think the terminology (i.e., source/output, to computer/from computer, etc.) combined with the horizontal and vertical labels is not well implemented. It seems like after fiddling with it a bit I eventually get an "Aha!" moment as you say, and get the job done, but the next time I visit ...

Thanks, FM. I vaguely remember you posting about this some time back. One of the reasons I wanted to revisit this topic is because I was watching one of Dan Worrall's videos and he mentions that dither doesn't make an audible difference at 24 bits. (So maybe DP's 24 bit omission in the dither scenar...
