It doesn't have trouble, you can select high or regular mode. It's just in high mode is designed for more high end CPUs. They do know what they are doing, they respected and used by thousands of musicians. Don't immediately dismiss something you don't understand. The Dell and Focusrite sounded...

CPU bottlenecking is an issue with Neural DSP stuff at high quality etc. Even on modern CPU. Second hand macbook and interface to run all the amps, patch changes, lighting DMX signals, MIDI clicks, keyboard backing tracks etc. Was around $1000, which is less money and stuff to carry than buying...

Yes, but I recommend 44.1k to reduce CPU overhead. Also I've played with a couple guys who use Amp Sim Plugins live, so I don't share your opinion that people should just "give up before it's too late". It didn't keep them busy for months. They set up a Macbook running the plugin and an Apollo...

YES. Gotta add to this one... the guy who isn't normally "techy", buys a wireless unit. Then for the next few gigs, they are unable to avoid the "walk out into the crowd" when playing gimic. You can see it in their eyes, staring out over the 40 people crowd eating chicken in a basket... the...

Shitty sound guys are the reason I use digital now. Alteast no one can kick over my 0101010101110101010101s haha. I reduced my rig to this setup about 15 years ago and they STILL couldn't mic it in stereo properly. Sometimes they'd ask to just take the crappy cab sim out the back of the...

THIS is an interesting take! And very true. A venue near me spent 1 million on acoustics, only to then throw in lines of Arrays and those huge subs. Tinny top end and loads of sub bass. It's likely set up for DJ/dance music first and foremost.

I've done 7 years with BIG valve amps on stage Then 7 years with a Fractal to FOH (with small 2x12 amp on stage for air) On average, I had alot more issues with the sound guys and valve amps. Firstly the sound guy would try use the house SM57 rather than my mic which I used to get the tone at...

One part of me gets annoyed at them, the other part of me remembers they are being paid like 70$ a night set up 3+ different bands on their own, whilst dealing with the egos/chaos of small bands playing club shows and broken equipment that the house refuses to upgrad. When things go wrong...

Good points. I agree on the volume, surprised I missed it! Often the sound guys ears will be fucked and he will compensate for what he is hearing. I find a good middle ground is to use foam ear defenders to take out the high end rasp which often keeps me up at night after shows with ear ringing.

On the whole, most small shows I see are great. Passionate folks showing us their art and entertaining us for pennies. But... we all have pet peeves at small shows so what are yours? Here are a few of mine: - If you can't actually sing harmonies (90% of people) then get rid of that mic stand...

John was a hypocritical piece of shit, so she was a good fit haha "I used to be cruel to my woman ... any woman. I was a hitter. I couldn’t express myself and I hit." - John Lennon 1980

Drop that 98khz to 44.1khz, drop that block size to 16 or 32 and you can get some killer low latency for plugins.

Hello sir! Most DAWs these days are really efficient. For example Reaper honestly can run on a potato! I've ran reaper on a RasperyPI for 14 days straight for a podcast There are a few variables that will impact your decision: - The Processor spec is really important if you wish to record via...

Every single Frontiers records recorded guitar tone.

Yes I do!!! Great to hear them mentioned here :)

Yeah, and IQ, Jadis, Arena, Thershold, Thought Chamber, Xen, Pattern Seeking Animals etc etc.

Wow, that was me told! I'm getting mixed up with Shawn Lane and Lukather who used them I think! You might enjoy my playlist I've been working on: If you have any other recommendations for 80s/90s neo-keyboard-driven-prog-rock/metal with soulful high end singers and excellent musicianship...

I agree. It's that cold, reverby sound I know they wouldn't touch now adays. I miss it!

Nice!! We are a rare bunch. I think Doug Ott was a Mesa Tri-axis guy for most of Enchant. Cant see the rack in the live DVD "Live At Last". It's crazy to me how they haven't received more press. Love the Holdsworth! Had that album on last week. Didn't he often use active pickups like Shawn Lane?
