Questions From The Community
- Nigel Alker is having problems with the Loopmasters library on his Windows Pro Tools system, can we help?
- Pascal Magdinier would like our view on interfaces and which one to choose. He has a Digidesign 192 but what about UA or Apogee? Will they have any effect on his mixes?
- Laurence Teixeira works in post and having upgraded from Pro Tools 10 to 12, is also considering upgrading to Pro Tools 12HD software only. He is considering Pro Tools HD Native as well, what are our thoughts and advice.
- Michael Allen is having problems when bouncing to disk to get stereo files.
Find Of The Week
- Dan - The Melodyne Hack
- James - Sontronics Mercury Multi-pattern valve condenser mic. It is stunning. Review to follow very soon. Expect good things people!
- Julian - Focusrite Control iOS app. I’m using it right now and although I can reach the Red4 Pre just by moving my arm, somehow that seems really old fashioned right now.
