Thanks Matt. I still have to get an external drive, and hen I can get said. Appreciate the tip. Since I only use Logic, that's where I'll start ;-)
I won't bother with Luna until it has editing as good as Logic.

Are scaling settings typically included in the software inside the monitor?

Well, I found that monitor for sale used in my area and bought it for $150. I won't be able to try it out until I get a new external disk drive. I sure hope there's nothing weird and I just plug it in and the picture in Logic and when watching videos just looks right.
I also hope that switching computers doesn't set off a plethora of issues regarding all my plug-ins. Hopefully I don't have to reach out to 3rd party plug-in companies for authorization codes for years old plugs.

I won't be able to try the Sound City plug-in for a few days, but I'm looking forward to seeing what others do with it.
I wondered if it would sound better turning the Superior Drummer room mics off. I could in theory use Sound City's room and mics instead.. I think..

I was just thinking about that drumsound. This model seems have quite a long leg extension forward.

As much as people seem to love it, I always felt the 1176 sounded like the tone controls of a Fender amp, harsh and kinda nasty. I've only liked 1176 on acoustic guitars.

After getting the full Monty Black Lion Audio mod to my X6, I discovered the converters were not really the issue with the Apollo's, it was a host of other things. Now my Apollo sounds more like Dangerous Music's converters. The Symphony is a little softer and bigger, more pleasing than the regular Apollo's. So it depends what you're really looking for. I mixed a friend's album with the post BLA mod x6, and I was able to get where I wanted to go in 1/2 to 2/3 the amount of time.

I've been wondering about using the Sound City plug-in with Superior Drummer III. SD3 was recorded in a great space under ideal circumstances, great mics, engineers, drummers, etc. Io there's a certain amount of room sound built in I guess. I also use UA's Ocean Way as my first reverb. More of a way of putting all the instruments in the same room rather than using the re-mic features. It works well, but I like the sound of the Sound City demos I've heard better.
Should I simply do the same thing, use Sound City judiciously as a first room reverb, or do I need to get further into it and use the re-mic modes to get that sound?
Anyone try the SD3 combo with Sound City yet? What is your method?

Hi Lee, I use it first on the 2 bus. Either 30 ips or Smooth Vocal setting, then lower noise, tweak a bit and I get some gain, some glue, and a more natural sound, less harshness. On occasion I use it on one track. It's the best slap back echo I've found.

The Helios plug is the only Unison one I've ever used on occasion.

UAD ATR-102. I could make an album with only this one plug-in. It makes everything better in a natural way. From a demo to record in the right hands.

I honestly don't know much about the 2 Bus +, but I heard what the color circuit's transformers did to a mix, and it had that hard to recreate big console sound.

I listened to the SSL Fusion hardware and was quite underwhelmed. The Dangerous Music 2 Bus+ has the mojo like a real console does. Take a good look at that before buying the SSL hardware.

Here's what I would like to know, WHY has UAD's customer service turned into such a mess. A two week time to solve a problem is simply unacceptable. I can not believe UAD doesn't have enough money to hire more customer service reps. So, why are dragging their feet here? It used to take hours, not weeks to hear back from UAD.
I bought two plug-ins on Nov. 25th, and they're not showing up anywhere. Tomorrow will be 13 days, and I still have no response. This is not what a professional musician can work with. UAD hypes and prides itself on how state of the at their products are, but if there's no customer service to back that up, it's useless.

I'm still waiting for UAD to get back to me regarding straightening out my UAD plug-in mess. Meanwhile.. I was wondering about using Sound City with Superior Drummer. SD has its own mixer with room sounds. They meticulously recorded those room sounds in great rooms with great mics. I wonder if I should turn the room mics of SD off and use the Sound City rooms, and mic choices. Most of the demos of Sound City I've seen are using live drums.
I have to shut down my whole system for a few days. I'm moving to a new apartment.

I hate to say it, but I remember a mix done by our old friend the Cowboycoalminer. It was just packed with muscle. It had that thing you're still looking for. He did it on his modified Ghost board. I believe it's just the board itself.
I listened to the Dangerous Music 2 bus +, and the color circuits sounded a whole lot like the effect of using a board,. The similar SSL piece didn't do it for me.

Ragan, the 176 is killer. It has a sound, but when you want that sound, it's great.

Thanks Matt. I'm too tired to bother now. It's become ridiculously complicated. I'll wait for UAD to contact me. I see the new plugs, but I can't find a Download page. I keep getting a prompt that says to connect to my iLok. When I try, no password seems to work. I'm frustrated.

I have UAD Connect. Capitol Compressor and Sound City show on my iLok activations, but nothing shows up in Logic. I'm not running the newest Logic update yet.. Not sure if that should matter as far as installing. They don't show up when I go to instantiate a UAD plug-in.
