Re: no need to cry after sts samplers, vst does it also better


i have a feeling that perhaps pentium 3 on 440bx or even earlier was _the_ platform for scope where it would crash the least
yet even then the projects would be plagued by shifting phase relations between channels - no blue screen but an annoyance for sure.

Both of my Scope 7 machines are the ...

Re: no need to cry after sts samplers, vst does it also better

I can estimate an approximate price already myself based on similar efforts elsewhere, and what I know about Scope from being around so long. $8K as a ceiling seems appropriate. A list of requirements for all interested, and a way to escrow funds until goal reached, as well as contract upon receipt ...

Re: no need to cry after sts samplers, vst does it also better

GaryB is correct, hardly surprising as he's support! The 64bit addressing messes with certain applications more than others, but even the ones that appear to work are likely doing more stringent memory management and it's not until you load enough to hit an address out of range for Scope's ability ...

Re: What to do

GaryB can field the Scope upgrade questions the best, but I believe (if you have your keys) you can upgrade to Scope 7 from any previous version. You'll find that in the Sonic|Core shop on their current website: https://sonic-core.de/

Before you begin, visually check your capacitors for bulging or ...

I stand corrected about the power supplies, I’m just remembering threads. I read from a few decades ago on Gearslutz, so thank you for the corrections

Re: Audio Interfaces: Behringer vs Focusrite

The first run had integrated PSU and the heat caused problems, iirc. Later external wall wart (I think? haven't owned one) psu ADA8000's fixed it. I haven't seen anyone complain about ADA8200, and even though the "midas" pre's are not going to make it sound like $12000 of pro desk channels, compared ...

Re: Audio Interfaces: Behringer vs Focusrite

I do not think the focusrite operates standalone, which is why I recommended the ADA8200 upgrade.

Re: Audio Interfaces: Behringer vs Focusrite

Firewire based, will likely need to be connected to host PC to enable proper routing of adat i/o to analog i/o's.

I'm guessing you have the gen1 Behringer ADA8000, my understanding is the Behringer ADA8200 fixed the noisy power supply issue and upgraded the pre's. You should check current prices ...

Re: Shoutout for DAWMAN

DAWman once sent me an iLok (v1) key that had a license on it someone had given him at a trade show, just because he didn't want it and I didn't want to pay $40 for a key for some other device we were discussing in a thread on here.

So, to this day my iLok account account came from him, because all ...

Re: A working PCI Express adapter has been found!

Searching Amazon, Newegg or whatever regional supplier for "internal case fan bracket" and then finding one that fits a given solution is what I recommend. I happen to have quite a few leftover from various cases (Lian Li, Supermicro, etc) over the years and so have options.

In terms of direction ...

Re: A working PCI Express adapter has been found!

That’s more or less exactly what all of my cases have, double or triple height GPU slots for vertical placement. I even bought a PCIe extender cable but never took advantage of using it.

My primary concern would be getting enough airflow on the cards, especially if there was a big GPU next to them ...

Re: A working PCI Express adapter has been found!


This one seems to use the same bridging chipset:

You could combine it with a DIY enclosure built around this:

Re: Weird MIDI issues

If a Windows update did not fully install, there can be any number of subsystems and windows that are impacted and failed to start. Impossible to know without digging in what was interfering, but my guess is something conflicted with the installation of the update, this does occasionally happen.

Ooh good idea, I have an extra HammerFall PCI card, and two extra boxes. I could put one more into Service for very cheap.
