Maybe if you can find a refurbed one? It'll definitely be a refurbished one. The M1 chips make it difficult to work with anything older so I'm not gonna bother getting a new one.

We had no issues running pro tools or Logic Pro X on it. Although when recording we only ever recorded 2 mics at the same time and most of our sessions were in the 6-12 track range which had no issues when mixing/playback butI don’t know how well It would handle a full band session or recording an entire drum kit with 8 microphones at the same time.

Burgersandcole Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 Is there a thread to critique your band, my bands really new and we sound bad but I don't know why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can be really mean to each other sometimes but if you want genuine feedback, share a recording and we'll give some constructive criticism.

Speedo Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 I cannot, for the life of me, get my UAD plugins to be recognizable in Logic. I’ve run through the steps a few times and nothing. I just finished uninstalling and reinstalling everything, maybe that’ll work. I even installed Luna just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe try a different DAW to see if that recognizes the plug-ins? Reaper is great (and free). Even if you don't move over to it, you may narrow the problem down to either being Logic related or if the plug-ins are also a problem on another DAW.

I did grab Luna since it came with the Apollo interface. Honestly, I’m probably just a dolt and I’m not doing something right. I’ll give Reaper a go, like you suggested, see how it works with something that isn’t UAD related. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 I hate DAWs with a passion. So much unlimited possibility it sends me into a choice paralysis. Anyone willing to sell me some good templates?.. I've given up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 @KayI'm not sure how you do it. I'm not even taking it seriously or anything and still can't find myself to finish a single project, it's mind numbing to get everything right. Your stuff is really good by the way, good vocalist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggle to finish projects too, some serious ADHD stuff but you get used to forcing yourself to finish things. from a songwriting / demoing perspective I just accept that I will never make anything perfect. I just try to accept “good enough” and “finished” when it comes to production though… I know it’s that step beyond me, so I hire it out now haha. I home record guide tracks and song ideas but all “real” recording, I get help. we can’t do everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedo Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 @naJ track without effects, or effects that aren’t printed, just get your levels right. Then send the tracks off to someone who knows what they’re doing. Fiverr is a decent source to find competent people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 @Kay @Speedo That makes sense. I truly, just for myself, want to make out the songs I've been writing on for years, I have the idea for it, but making that happen within the DAW is just excruciating. I knew there had to be some type of service out there. Downloading templates has been..helpful. But then it's always going to have so many layers in it you are kind of stuck in that sound. Bringing it to a studio is just embarrassing (and expensive). So with Fiverr, you essentially can send over the fully arranged song, and have them send it back to do final touches on I presume? Thanks, seriously. I'd love to just get the arrangements down, send it off, then be able to still add extra touches/effects after instead of getting majorly distracted early/mid way through. But I don't want it to be 'finalized' so to speak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 Beautiful, wow @Speedo, this is what I've been searching for, for like 3 years. I hate sending shit to friends or local people, so fucking nice to have 3rd party people who are likely just as good if not better to. I can die happy now. Speedo BOTBM 2024! Also agreed with @Kay, you can't do everything. If you just wanna write, you just wanna write. If you want to mix only, it's hard to do your own shit, and kills the momentum tbh. Etc etc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
