Not sure about the Nubus SCI cards... but with the PCI SCII cards, the piggyback card hooked to your TDM ribbon cable, and allowed a direct digital output into the pro tools mixer without any...

Re: Converting Sample Cell libraries to Kontakt

The chicken systems translator is by far the best one out there. But I wouldn't expect more than a conversion of sample mapping data for pitch and velocity zone from any translator.... you will find...

Re: largest IDE drive for protools 6 data?

Iirc, the G4’s can’t see a drive bigger than 127GB, or somewhere around there. I believe you can use a bigger drive but it is only possible if you format it as a 127gb drive from the G4. The...

Re: Back to basics

Just a quick listen on your first few songs, not in a critical listening environment, but my immediate reaction was to your string sound… I would start with improving that and then mix the rest of...

Re: USB 3.0 hub recommendations for Mac - 2021

Even the smaller iPads, I have always used the wall charger that came with them. Nothing else seems to charge fast enough.

Re: USB 3.0 hub recommendations for Mac - 2021

Well I was hoping I could wait to order one, but ended up going to micro center today, the problem was happening every 10 minutes and just too annoying to deal with any longer.

I bought this:

Re: USB 3.0 hub recommendations for Mac - 2021

Are the switches mechanically latching pushbuttons? If not, do they retain their last setting if the hub is disconnected from power?

USB 3.0 hub recommendations for Mac - 2021

I've noticed a few usb related glitches, which seem to be from my powered USB hub. It's pushing 6-7 years old, so probably time to upgrade.

My setup:
2013 Mac Pro trash can
RME babyface pro

Re: Sweetwater sold to capital investment company

Considering how long they’ve been in business (42 years)…. Not surprising that a buyout would happen… I’m sure Chuck wants to retire. It’s interesting how everything just gets bought out or put out...

Re: ?possible? Vintage Mix+ PCI TDM cards in 2020

Yes, only way to use these is in a Mac G4 or older, or with an older windows machine. OS, plug-in, and 3rd party software compatibility is very finicky, as these systems are almost 25 year old tech....

Re: ADAT Bridge 24bit - internal battery

I have owned many Adat bridges, both the 20bit and 24bit versions. AFAIK They do not have any kind of internal memory, and therefore do not have batteries. If you notice when you power them on, the...

Re: The Tea Room..

15 years ago, my goal was to be retired in 15 years. As of today, my goal is to be retired in 15 years. Unlikely, but if you don’t set goals, you never have the chance to reach them :D

Re: Mac Pro 2013 10 or 12 Core?

Re: Stuck with dead/demo-mode Kontakt 5.5 databases. Can the DUC help where N.I won't

Sadly, I think Chris is correct. The old NI service center was reliant on internet authorization, it’s at least 10 years old now. I think they dropped it about 5-6 years ago. So old libraries that...
