Re: real time MIDI recorded early

Go to Preferences>Play and Record>MIDI Options>MIDI Patch Through Mode

Check your sync option settings there and read about timing in the manual. This might or might not be the problem, but it's a good thing to check first.

Re: 2 M6's on the same computer?

Just curious, what happens to the I/O channel names when both units are identical?

Re: Upgrading from my ancient 8pre FW -- preamp and conversion questions

I can't compare what I have to the old FW 8Pre, but I have an 8Pre-es and a I can say that the audio quality is quite impressive. My go-to pre when I'm looking for pristine uncolored sound is an old Grace Design 201. It's about as close to a wire with gain as it gets. When I put up the 8Pre-es pream...

Re: New Mando

One of my biggest regrets is not having learned to play a stringed instrument, at least one with which your fingers touch the strings! I've always envied the range of expression guitarists and their ilk have available, where a single note can be played about a million different ways. For the past 1...

I hadn't thought of this, but many of these are not cell phone videos. I've seen it in clips of senate hearings. :shock:

New Mando

I've been playing 5 string banjo for over 40 years. I've played in bluegrass bands, country bands and done some studio work. I've always wanted to learn mandolin. A year ago someone gave me a brand new Rogue RM 100A - a real piece of crap but good enough to learn on. One day I opened the cloth case ...

Mirror image videos

Good morning cornies. This is so off topic it should probably be in Monkey Man's old massive off topic thread. But here goes. I've noticed lately an increasing number of videos (mostly on YouTube) that are backwards left to right. Not just amateur posts but even some commercial channels (i.e., news ...

Re: Digital Performer 11.34 version

Kontakt 8 loads faster for me. This was after a shut down and reboot so not cached RAM. That's a bit 'snappier' in my book. I've noticed that DP always takes longer to launch after a computer reboot. (the whole magic of cache thing, I guess). Subsequent launches are snappier until the next reboot a...

Re: Capacitors part lists for recapping 828 mk II and 828 mk III?

I picked up some of these recently that turn on but have various issues and looking inside, they definitely need recapping. Do they look physically damaged (i.e., bulging) or are they leaking fluid? Today's electrolytics last many years. It would be unusual for them to fail due to age. A circuit fa...

Re: Record computer audio

I'm not familiar with the mkiii. If it has adat optical that you're not using, that's a good way to stay in the digital domain. Just connect output to input and do the appropriate routing in DP. I've used this method in the past with no problems.

Re: Bluetooth audio receiver

Certainly looks like a product to avoid. Actually, now that I know what's going on, I can get it to do it's intended job with no problems. It was cheap and it's just for reference arrangements, not for critical listening. What I don't get is why it shows up in Audio MIDI Setup with whatever sample ...
