Thanks jcoutu1 for recommending the adapter kit plus enclosure. Was able to grab that plus a new set of husky 00/ 0 Phillips and flat plus t6 torx for the mbp, all in a convenient 5 piece package... looking forward to not stripping my mbp screws and finally getting ready for 64 bit.... Ok so I have 12.4 and El Capitan and upgraded plugs and Daw on one of my OWC drives I was testing for stability ... I also have sample libraries and lots of PT sessions... I want to clone my Mac hd ( OS X Lion ) to Samsung 850 evo then upgrade to el cap from the OWC ( hoping this will save some upgrade time on plugs ? ) or Sierra new install. Idk if I would have to then do more upgrade Daw and plugin wise for Sierra... So I may just go to Sierra, this stuff shouldn't be this complicated lol... hoping ilok and I are on the same team tonight 🤣🤠 If you're wiping the old drive (or clean installing), you should check to see if there's any software you need to de-authorize first. I had an issue a while back where I lost some iLok protected authorizations and a few other things, so FYI. BTW, my 840 EVO in the retail packaging came with one of those cables, FWIW. Good luck! |

Just starting a small studio build in January and I am getting my gear collection together. I toyed with the idea of an analog console (was looking at the Audient 4816 or the SSL XL-Desk) but in the end I chickened out and went for good front end and summing. This will be me moving from home set up to semi-commercial in a small industrial space  Stereo Pair of Distressors - got a good deal second hand. A second Apollo 8 - to cash in on the free Satellite deal. 2 x Rupert Neve 5024 Preamps - 8 channels of Neve! Rupert Neve 5060 Centerpiece - ex-demo from a store. More on the way ... |

Clarett 8PreX is in the house! Haven't even tracked with it but the conversion from the DAC is just beautiful. Also running Thunderbolt on my Windows 10 PC, very nice.  |

So seeing that you are going to miss me as run around NAMM & the cosmetic differences are going to bug you to no end, I know you are going to order a 3rd. Then you will send me the red headed stepchild as late Christmas gift! |

Get well quick!! If you're not sick, going to NAMM is almost a guarantee that you will be sick within the week. If at all possible, I try to avoid it like the plague. Or flu....  Don't have to be there this year. LTL is not exhibiting, but keep your eyes peeled...... |

I finally got paid for a project I completed a while ago, and I am on the search for a mic for my wife. She finally decided that she was ready to record an album. I am also trying to step up my front end. |

mulmany. That is absolutely FANTASTIC!! Good on ya, man. Good luck to the missus. Thanks Ward, I have been trying for ten years. We have only recorded 2 songs in that time. One of her friends called her out, and said she was stupid for not utilizing my studio. So we bought a new keyboard, so she can play at night without waking the kids. So I am setting up a writing/recording station for her. |

Doing a record with your wife?!?!?!? LOL Good luck my friend. If I did that it would end in divorce I'm afraid. Even after being married for as long as we have..... At very best it would be a marital standoff... I'd pay big $$$ to have someone ELSE do it. LOL Best of luck to ya!!! I mean it. <thumbsup> |

Mojave MA300 on sale at Sweetwater 1095; all settings flat; in my home studio thru a WA Tonebeast, vocals jumped right out, sat good in the mix Mic. But at RainShawdow Studios, Port Townswnd WA, did a shoot out with Neumann U67, Acoustic Guitar and Vocal; Cardioid pattern, no eq; MA300 had some proximity effect , little muddy, but still captured the vocal & guitar well. The 67 came out on top with clear highs, but captured bottom end well. In Omni both Mics were very similar, 67 still seemed to have a slight edge, but minimal. But price comparison, MA300 well worth it, MA300 $1295, U67 from $2,000. to 10,000 depending on Year.
Also bought the stereo pair of Lauten Sudio LA120 Black series 349.00, great on acoustic guitar, crisp without harshness. Will have a shoot out with the Neumann K184 later this week now waiting for WA87 and WA EQP Tube EQ

The Samar upgraded Vin-jets and the GZ251 came in today! Man those Samar motors are amazing, even with a bass player playing ac guitar!
GZ251 sounded great too, nice lift up top without sounding fizzy or harsh.
