Golden Gate performance question?

anyone here trying Golden Gate? I know the general guidance is to wait a year or two before upgrading OS and I completely understand that.

In this case, I am using ProTools mainly on my Windows PC in my Mac is secondary. I’m wondering if anyone has any experience running the latest protools in the Golden Gate beta?

protools version 25 or 26. whatever is latest.

Rebuilding, pictured: most of my guitars

A few years ago, I had a massive mental breakdown and sold all of my guitars, thinking I would never play again. Thankfully, the music came back to me or, I should say is coming back to me slowly.

Two of these guitars were gifted to me (the tele and epiphone) my who used to be session guitarist before he retired. The black one was given to me by my ex in-laws as a project Guitar that I stuck a David Gilmore prewired pick guard in. I purchased in the last year since my mom died.

I love playing them all and I’m so grateful to be able to play.

Not pictured is in 1989 Japanese fender Fretless jazz bass that for a time belonged to a friend of mine who ended up taking their own life, and that one means the world to me and will join this collection soon.

i’d love to hear what you think.

New Guitar, Loving It

Just got the Ibanez TOD70 on an open box buy on eBay. I've spent about 2 hours with it, hooked up to my Blackstar HT Club 40 MKII. Let me just say: WOW. This is only my second ever 7 string and my first one was (embarrassingly) decades ago now.

Likes:

  1. Tonal Options for Days with the 5 way switch and push-pull pot.
  2. 7th string goes GRRRRRRRRRRRR
  3. Again with #1, but I can play the cleanest finger-pickeyist folky stuff all day long on this and it sounds great. I can also play the down-tuneyest growliest Indian street metal stuff I love and everything in between.
  4. The pickups are incredibly articulate and get the nuance of each string as it vibrates (or doesn't)
  5. The neck is maybe the easiest to play neck I've ever played. I'm coming from 20+ years of hobby level guitar playing on mid range fenders, epiphones, and Ibanez Talmans from the 90's.
  6. The string spacing is great for me. Easy to play, easy to chug, easy to barely pick single note lines and leads.

Dislikes:

  1. The tonal options are selected in a rather convoluted and not very intuitive way. That said, it took me like 30 minutes to get over it.
  2. For the price this is listed at it should probably come with a hardshell care. Though the gig bag is exceptionally nice... for a gig bag.
  3. Nothing else. I'm extremely pleased with this guitar. Between this and my telecaster I think every tonal option for every genre I could possibly want to ever play is probably covered. (Though my Les Paul with P-90's may have something to say about that).

If you're on the fence with this model I don't think you can go wrong with it. Like I said: I got mine on an open box buy and recommend it highly.

Looking for ~40” 1440 or 4k Monitor/TV

I seem to be searching for a white whale and thought maybe someone here might have a lead.

I have a 40 inch Ultra Wide monitor and I’m looking for a screen to use as a second monitor/TV and in order to fit my space I need something approximately 40 inches. Everything I found in the 40 inch space has been 1080 P. And ideally, I would like 4K.

I’m not going to be gaming on this monitor just doing some light computing on it as as well as maybe some movie watching and cartoon watching

any liens or insight would be a great help and I thank you very much. Have a wonderful day.

iPad help with XR18

hey everybody. I just picked up an XR 18 this week. I owned one and used one with my band back in 2016 and absolutely loved it.

I am finding that the iPad app that I was familiar with from Behringer crashes on my new iPad Mini. I can use the app just fine on my MacBook Air (M4) but I’m looking for an iPad app that has full control over the mixer. Is there anything out there? I’m kind of at a loss here and I can’t seem find a straight answer.

I've been building PC's since I was very young (one of my first was a K6-233 to put things in perspective). I recently went through a really tough mental health phase, and building/organizing this little work corner has really helped me come out of it. So I wanted to post about it.

PC Specs:

Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX Ice

Processor: AMD 7700X

RAM: 32GB 6000Mhz 2x16

GPU: XFX Mercury Swift White 9070XT 16GB

Case: LIAN LI O11D MINI V2 Flow

Storage: 1x8TB HDD(backups, media, older games), 1x4TB HDD(mainly scratch/other), 1x512GB SATA SSD(system drive), 1x1TB Nvme(game drive), 1x512GB NVME SSD (audio editing)

OS: Windows 11

Monitor(s): 1xSamsung Odyssey G7 40" 5K 2K 180Hz (Model S40FG75DEN), 1xVizeo 1080P HD. (the Vizeo TV is mainly there up so high so I can put on something and chill on the couch and watch comfortably with some neck issues I've had for the last couple years)

Also in frame: is a 2018 Mac Mini being used as a file server and an M4 Macbook Air (15"/512GB/24GB model) used for travel, and music composition with Logic Pro.

USB Switcher to switch between MBA and PC.

Apogee Duet for iOS/Win/Mac 2in/4out audio interface

Creative Labs Pebble V3 (will upgrade to bookshelf monitors eventually. Right now, these combined with a small subwoofer under the desk are more than enough for apartment living)

PS5 Slim (currently not in use/awaiting final FF7 Remake release :D)

PC Use cases: Productivity, Audio Editing, Photo Editing, Gaming, Video Editing.

This is my first ever 'Aquarium' build and I'm having a ton of fun experimenting with lights and case decorations.

Also, if anyone's curious the basses are (left) a frankenstein'd American Fender Ultra Jazz Bass with an after market American Maple Neck, and (right) a 2018 Fender Mustang bass with flatwounds on it.

Thanks for reading! Have a kickass day. Thanks for checking this out.

Hi All. I've never done this before, or if I have it was during the windows 98/2k/XP days and I'm not sure what's changed. Basically I have a machine with multiple HDs, SSDs, and NVME's and I would like to move my windows boot drive from a 512GB SSD it's been on forever onto a 512GB NVME that's currently in the system.

I'm pretty technically handy, but am not sure what tool would be best for this. I heave EASE US home backup as my backup solution and realize that may provide a tool that would work.

Has anyone done this lately and have any suggestions? Thanks!
