i used 100% stolen software while ago when starting that music thing and never had any more issues than i have now with a nearly completely legal setup (means: none). most pirate releases just enter a serial same way like you do when you buy the product, there is no difference in the code at all. just go with the reliable cracks and you will be "happy".
and tbh you sound like a pervert television advertisment priest that should give himself a little headshot. such madness, unbelievable.
yeah its a filthy little bastard which should live up from some decent punishment.Perhaps your computer has become sentient in some way and is expressing an objection to your bad manners?
most STABLE audio interface

If You're on Mac, You can't pass on Apogee - simply BRILLIANT:

Yes, they are expensive, but they do sound expensive too...
... and YES - It is the most stable audio interface for Mac...

I don't know about that. I've been using the Mini-Me since '04 and i still catch myself thinking DAMN this things sounds incredible.
The thing is I paid around a grand at the time so it's not overly pricey considering the ringer i've put it through and the consistency it delivers.
Granted the Duet and Ensemble for that matter are on the pricey side. But after a few years you'll realize WOW I haven't had to go through 2-3 bullshit soundcards and i've got quality sound.
I don't work for Apogee I'm just saying i've had a great experience.....YMMV

its pretty poor manners to accuse forum members of using pirated software with no evidence. im %100 legit software wise and fix other peoples performance problems for a thing you might call money.Macrostructure wrote:xh9o, Adventurepantsadventurepants_ wrote:now its just better written bull of shite.Macrostructure wrote: I think you may have taken me a little too literally
Getting rid of illegal software from your system reduces instability and audio dropouts, generally enabling lower latencies and better audio performance, including on cheaper interfaces.
Happy?
My own direct experience was otherwise. I followed the advice of another poster on this forum, Ewistrand, on this subject and did as I have described above in this thread. I was surprised to find the results are also as I have described - greater stability and better system performance. These are the facts.
I take it you use cracked software, have system stability/performance problems, tried removing all your cracked programs but in contrast to me still had exactly the same issues afterwards? That's a shame. Perhaps your computer has become sentient in some way and is expressing an objection to your bad manners?
your improvement in performance was probably due to removing all the cycle-sucking viruses that you picked up while pirating your software.

If you have any PCI slots available, I would strongly
recommend the dirt-cheap M-Audio Delta 1010LT,
I have both a Audiophile 2496 and 1010LT in parallell in
my system giving me a total of 12inputs/outputs and I have an operating latency of about 2ms (one-way) - and - it is stable.
I picked up my Delta 1010LT used for $90
The m-audio drivers for the delta-series are rock-solid, anybody can
testify to that.

er no, that's just playing with words, I asked a question, one you made legitimate by claiming a knowledge of illegal software at all in the first place. you say you got it on other people's machines. no problem.adventurepants_ wrote:its pretty poor manners to accuse forum members of using pirated software with no evidence. im %100 legit software wise and fix other peoples performance problems for a thing you might call money.
You would need a lot more information about my technical setup, various machines, what was connected to the net, etc to make that call. All we know is that when I dumped the illegal software I got a big performance increase and better stability out of my soundcard/pc...oh, and we don't like each other's style in this thread That's all we will ever know.adventurepants_ wrote:your improvement in performance was probably due to removing all the cycle-sucking viruses that you picked up while pirating your software.
Peace.

I've just got one of these, so useful, can't think why I didn't get one before either.aqua_tek wrote:And I think i've found the perfect solution. So simple. why didnt i think of this before?aqua_tek wrote: Oh... and my ONLY gripe with the Fireface is the lack of a control room volume knob. Why?
YAY nano patch!
I just ordered mine last night. Pretty excited about finally being able to control my monitor levels without the mouse or without having to go around the back and tweaking the small uncomfortable knobs. Very mundane thing to be excited about, i know, but yes... I'm excitedMacrostructure wrote:I've just got one of these, so useful, can't think why I didn't get one before either.aqua_tek wrote:And I think i've found the perfect solution.

And can someone confirm or deny the following? I've heard a few times that it's advisable to have your soundcard's software mixer level turned all the way up. And I'm not talking about Live's master fader here, I'm talking about the Total Control mixer software from RME, or the Cuemix mixer software from MOTU. And in addition to this, you should have your monitor's sensitivity (or level) knobs all the way up... then control the levels in between the soundcard and the monitors with a dedicated control room knob, like the Nano Patch... or a Mackie Big knob, or something similar, etc etc. This supposedly preserves all the bits on the software end, and on the monitors' end, i guess it makes full use of their amp capabilities... makes sense in a way, especially the software side... but how about the monitor thing? Should i have the sensitivity level turned all the way up and just control the levels with the Nano Patch? Anyone? Bueller?

Same gain structure rules apply all the way from the DAW to the monitor. If you want the maximum signal to noise ratio, use the last gain control in the chain to control volume. In your case this would be the shitey wee knobs on the back of your monitors which is a pain in the ass, so use the next thing back - the nanopatch. As for the gain settings elsewhere - yes, turn them up to unity, including the monitors. Then test it - you might want to then turn the montiors down a bit.aqua_tek wrote: And can someone confirm or deny the following?

Thanks Macro
Oh man... It is so simple and mundante, but I am LOVING the Nano Patch since it arrived on Thursday. It's great! Amazing how such a little thing makes it feel like my workflow has improved by leaps. Only slight annoyance is that one of the 1/4 input jacks is not exactly very tight. Doesn't really "lock in" when I slide in the connector. The cable doesn't slide out unless I deliberately pull it though, so I'm not sure if it's annoying enough for me to want to get it replaced. Hasn't really bothered me that much... Still works perfectly and sounds... well... it sounds neutral as it should
