Bruh... bruh... SLL owes me SEVERAL refunds! If y'all aren't signed up for their email list, what are you doing with your life? These sales are INSANE!!! I think I got Flexverb in a bundle for like $50. That mug is on sale now for $15! Channel Strip 2, their 9000 series console emulation... $19! The compressor on that mug is so dang strong, it took me like 30 minutes to figure out why one of the teacks I had routed to the aux was so quiet no matter how much I turned it up in my summing channel. They have some dope Harrison plugins on sale, too. Like the Harrison Mastering EQ is freaking $10! This is Harrison we're talking about... But hey... if you snooze, you lose! And you may want to get them from Plugin Boutique. With every purchase you know you get a freebie. That Universal Audio Galaxy Tape Echo delay is the most lush delay I've ever heard. It's have your vocals and guitars lush like clear green resort ocean water. Then there's also a Moogfooger or something like that. It's a very nice analog emulation phaser. You can even toggle between an aux send window. I don't even know what to do with that part. I'll have to read the user manual. Both those mugs are certified legit.

Ok time for next query. Closed, open and ( for me unknown until today ) half-open back. Talking about Studio (HP) headphones. I have always used closed back HPs. But recently one of my friends told me that U do have to use open back to hear the stereo information. I do not use headphones to hear that, I do use headphones to isolate what in a track i don't like (over and over on repeat). But it maybe sounds true for anyone only using HPs mixing, mastering. So whats your take on this topic, open or closed ? and for that matter on, in or over ?( for me the only alternative is over) and now to the reason for this post. I have some very comfortable AKGs, so comfortable that I forget to take the off when fetching coffee, making it time to switch. What is your favorit HPs model and brand? Best Regards P-G

I have an old original uno synth that i'd like to play around with but I can't get a decent signal from it. Cabling types are my enemy here, I think, maybe. The uno's out is 1/8 phones like it thinks its a walkman. I want it to go through a kaoss fx module, which uses rca. sigh. Straight into the yamaha mixer (via 1/4") and its too quiet. no problem, I think, crank the gain. Hum galore. ok, there's a bbe 282 maximizer available, maybe use that (1/4" patch i/o), then to the mixer (same 1/4" in). nooo.. now I can turn off the gain but I get clipping. eew. no. it has no volume or gain to adjust. the clipping sounds digital too, which doesn't make sense. I now just tried the second to last option. a behringer fx 2000; its got a compressor-maximizer preset. this is the best i've gotten but the noise is probably only reduced by a third this way. The very last option is an old art tube pre. I don't like this option because its... busy already. Somebody please tell me using a headphone amp is the dumbest thing in the world before I try it;p All this should be signal level but I'm getting noise going from phones to anything. I even have an 1/8" phones to xlr to go straight to the yamaha, eliminating any rca in the path. This isn't much better either. Any thoughts? Options, to review: Uno Synth, 1/8 out behringer fx2000 multi fx, 1/4 and xlr i/o bbe 282iq, 1/4 i/o korg kaoss fx, rca i/o art dps II preamp, 1/4 and xlr yamaha 12xu, xlr, 1/4, rca

With everything now being TB or USB how are you all managing the connection for all of this equipment? I want to clean up and streamline my connections but not sure how I will go about it just yet. I have USB for 4 keyboards/sound module, for 8 hard drives, flash drives,, MPC, webcam, charging for my phone, ect. I have Thunderbolt for my UA Apollo, DAC, UA satellite, ect. Point is that I have so many connections that I have to wonder how are other people managing.
