I bought a used s88 from Guitar Center. I got it home and hooked up only to find out that the software was already registered to another person so I can’t get it. What is the point of that? Do they think the keyboard can be in two places at once? Will probably just have to return it after wasting a lot of time. Guitar Center can’t help. Very frustrating experience. I would buy a new one, but I don’t want to deal with shipping and who knows when it shows up. No store in the chicago area has a single decent controller. Just toys. Is this a chip shortage?

Do any of you keep all your plugins on an external SSD? I thought this was the correct route. but my friend Gemini told me not to do that and it would cause all sorts of problems.

Yesterday my MacBook Pro M4 started experiencing crackling noises through my monitors and the computer started freezing pretty frequently for about 5 seconds each time. During a freeze my audio and midi still worked fine, but the mouse couldn't move and typing wouldn't work during a freeze. My interface is a MOTU M6. I use a Warm Audio Tube pre amp and an older rackmount reverb unit, but I can't imagine that would matter. Any suggestions?

I’m running Logic Pro 12 on a new MacBook Pro. Should I be using a docking station? I’d like some more usb c and maybe thunder bolt. Any recommendations?
