    PreSonus FireStudio replacement for M2 Mac Mini?

    i’m glad to hear that, but you’ve beaten the odds. they have a pretty abysmal track record overall.tascam is a pass for me, mostly because i just never see them out there and so i am naturally suspicious. i know what you mean about “rolanding”… i find roland gear to be generally well designed...

    PreSonus FireStudio replacement for M2 Mac Mini?

    the focusrite scarlet line are the best low-to-moderate cost interfaces out there, in my opinion.i also like MOTU and iConnectivity.i also like the higher end ones, but we all have budgets to keep. if money were no object, metric halo cannot be beat. rme is high end but not absurd.i...

    Sound f/x custom hardware for ergonomic programming of QLab?

    i’m so sorry, i do NOT mean to be pedantic, but do you mean “the most recent single cue amongst all that are now playing” or do you mean “all the cues that started with the most recent GO” or something else?i would love to know more about what you mean by this! what do you mean by “child’ed...

    Sound f/x custom hardware for ergonomic programming of QLab?

    hello jaywith respect, what’s obvious to one person may be obscure to another, and may be irrelevant to a third. forgive me if i misread your tone, but i find it slightly combative and for no reason that i can see.i am genuinely interested in the answer to the questions i ask precisely...

    Sound f/x custom hardware for ergonomic programming of QLab?

    it certainly is! but unless you're working in dance, it's equally common to have several cues running at once, so i was just wondering if you had a specific workflow in mind about how you'd want to tell your control hardware which of those cues you'd want to scrub.

    Sound f/x custom hardware for ergonomic programming of QLab?

    what are you looking to scrub? all active cues? most recently started active cue? the selected cue?

    BREAKING: QLab 5 is out... and it is *METAL*. <smirk>

    i’ll leave it to will to say what the thrust of his question was; i only answered the actual question he asked.but the answer to the question you just asked is yes, v5 licenses are more expensive than their corresponding v4 licenses were. the price increase, i feel bound to note, was our first...

    BREAKING: QLab 5 is out... and it is *METAL*. <smirk>

    the pricing for QLab 5 is exactly the same today as it was on launch day. you can trade in v4 licenses for store credit, and if you have enough to trade in you can end up with a free v5 license, but the actual price of the v5 license was never free.

    Converged projector mismatch

    the UDX-W22 is essentially an improvement on, and replacement for, the HDX-W20. it's got a different light source and a different, upgraded "brain" so an exact match between the two is going to be very challenging.if you have exactly matched lenses and throw distances, your best bet is to try...
