Thanks so much guys.
Before, I simply tried tapping along to the iPhone recording to get the BPM. Next time I'll pop it into Logic first.

I recorded a song on my iphone in a big room with lots of echo. I began to create a Logic project and used the little Tap Tempo app on my iPhone. I thought I had it right, but there's a slight difference between the iPhone track and the Logic project.
How can I accurately find the tempo of the iPhone track?

I had to sell my Avantone Abbey’s for medical bills. I really loved them.. you could hear into the mix, low level detail was superb. They were 2G’s 5 years ago.They were beautifully made too.
Speaker companies tend to have a style of sound. The Barefoots I heard back then sounded strange. Kind of like the sound was being strangled.
I hope the new Barefoot’s are an improvement. I would have chosen the Abbey’s at that time.
Maybe in time, one of the bigger pro audio stores here in Nashville might have a demo of the Barefoot’s. I’d love to hear them and compare them to my memory of the Abbey’s.

The clock mod clears the whole atmosphere. Better imaging, less hash interfering with you hearing into the low level details. The clarity makes it easier to mix. After my mod, I did a good mix in half the time. I'm not saying it will always be that way, but it sure was a good omen.

Once I got the Black Lion Audio mod for my Apollo X6m I', a happy camper. It's more like a Dangerous Music tone now than a Symphony, but I no longer feel the need to have anything else unless I had 20 G's to start all over.

I've got the Kali 3 Way In-5. It's reliable and accurate enough. Not super transparent, but well balanced., pretty good imaging.

Hey Danny, I'd love to meetup when you come to town. I had to downsize to a smaller apartment because I'm partly disabled now. Otherwise I'd have offered you a place to stay. Stay in touch.

When a major pro audio company like UAD lets their customer service deteriorate to the point of being useless, clearly something's wrong.
People do that when they're moving on from something and don't want to spend more money or time fixing it.

If he was in town, I would ask him to come by and listen to two mixes to help choose the"better" one. His "open" probably means less instrumentation somewhere. Fortunately the few album mixes I've done are for people who know what they're doing. So they can offer helpful suggestions, not vague remarks.

I would need Luna to do everything I know how to do in Logic before I would consider switching. I use Logic's editing features regularly. Swipe comp a vocal, easy. Edit volume, easy. Flex pitch, ( on occasion) and other features I don't use yet.

thousands of customers have asked UAD to implement some kind of plug-in list making it easier to find the plug-ins you have for ten years now. They still leave you to scroll through all their plugs to find what you're looking for. Yes, there are workarounds, but my point is, even something as simple as this was blown off by UAD for some convoluted corporate reasoning. I don't believe for a second this was avoided by UA for any convoluted reason. I believe it is there 100% on purpose. If you accidentally forget that you don't own that plugin and try it (well, maybe you end up liking it), or worse, you use it, and then come back to your session and it's expired and now you are forced to buy it? It's purely a sales/marketing move. It's free advertising right inside your DAW. I completely agree doubledog, you just said it better.

Simply put, UAD has always had a pretty deaf ear when it comes to client relations. So this is nothing new. Kcat and I were writing them almost a decade ago about something they were doing that was distasteful.
Hundreds, maybe thousands of customers have asked UAD to implement some kind of plug-in list making it easier to find the plug-ins you have for ten years now. They still leave you to scroll through all their plugs to find what you're looking for. Yes, there are workarounds, but my point is, even something as simple as this was blown off by UAD for some convoluted corporate reasoning. So it doesn't surprise me when they refuse t find a middle ground to keep long term customers happy.
In many businesses, word of mouth is extremely important. I believe that one positive remark can reach 250 people on average. UAD's "customer service" taking two weeks to respond to an important technical problem is one more example of a good way to undermine the reputation that took decades to build.
This reminds me of the issues Gibson had when expanding too rapidly. There CEO eventually sold his share and left.

I used to love my Avantone Pro Abbeys. They were a 3 way with a port that went down to 37 hertz. I had to sell them for medical bills and miss them every day. These might be similar. I'd love to demo them somewhere. I didn't love the Barefoot sound I did hear, I preferred ATC.

I once bought a fake SM57. Once realized such a thing existed, I managed to get a refund and was told to keep the mic! The packaging was very close, but many details were slightly off, once you knew what to look for. Quick test, turn the capsule around. Real Shure's will work, fakes will break.

Funny, I just chucked my old disks last week. Now I hav to decide if I want to keep 500 CD's or just upload them.
I dumped all the plastic boxes, put them in cases, but they still take up more room than I can spare in my new downsized apartment.

Whatever Black Lion Audio did in the mod for my Apollo6 it worked. Center image is clearer, soundstage is wider now. I think the Burl and the Symphony are all about the color they add, not the accuracy.
I really liked the Burl when I had it for a week, and prefer the Symphony when I’ve heard it compared to the Apollo. With the BLA mod, my Apollo sounds like the Dangerous Music conversion to me now.
That’s good enough unless I hit the lottery.

Same thing here. I use a Yamaha sustain pedal for my Axion 61 keyboard. It's supposed to reverse if I start up the keyboard and hold the pedal down. It worked in the past, but now it's not working at all. Nothing's been changed other than I turned the keyboard off to move to a new apartment.
I'm no keyboard guy, I hate midi.

I want to safely store masters Logic projects AND have quick access to listen to music. I plan to buy an external disk drive, maybe 3 or 4 gigs. What I'd like it a way ti organize the files easily. Final Sizes, Masters, demos, lots of songs from my CD collection.
I have some iCloud storage. I could probably try uploading some things as a 3rd backup.

I'm tired of half-assed iTunes. First, I want to have my unmastered finals, then my mastered album finals in all their iterations. I need to store and catalogue all my Logic works in progress. I need separate categories for things like iPhone demos.
Last, I want to catalogue all my CD's so I can get rid of them. I'd like to easily set up categories, Classical, Jazz, Rock, Country, etc. and then be able to assemble playlists for listening.
I need some suggestions and advice, thanks.

Until Luna can comp and edit as well as Logic, I'm not interested. Besides, I really don't feel like buying more plug-ins for questionable results.

I've used both the Neumann and the Soyuz. The KM184 always feels like it's missing something, especially since I'm used the the vintage KM84's. The Soyuz is like a modern upgrade of the KM84. I'd choose it any day over the KM184.
