Nielso<p>I'm unhappy to report this, but <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Harrison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Harrison</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Mixbus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mixbus</span></a> today has let me down. Or, to be honest: I was also slightly under-prepared for the <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/recording" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>recording</span></a> session. I had entered my Mixbus 10 Pro license key and it had swallowed it. But then when I loaded the backing tracks into it, it played this random demo mode noise. Okay, things may happen, but since the producer/songwriter and her double bass player were ready to rumble, I didn't have any time to get this fixed.</p><p>So what to do? Obviously: Start up <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Ardour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ardour</span></a> and get the recording done. </p><p>Ardour as a <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/DAW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DAW</span></a> on an old <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/MacBook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MacBook</span></a> 2017 running <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Monterey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Monterey</span></a> still, with an <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/RME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RME</span></a> <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Fireface400" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fireface400</span></a> via a stupid adapter chain to Thunderbolt3… what can you say about it? Well, I can say: We had a 5hr recording session without any hickups – technically counting 30 takes.</p><p>Why <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/OSX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OSX</span></a> anyways? Only one reason: <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Totalmix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Totalmix</span></a> instead of <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/ffadomixer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ffadomixer</span></a>. I do all mixing on <a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> with Mixbus. But for this I'll just pass on stems to the studio which happens to be located in some other country.</p><p><a href="https://digitalcourage.social/tags/LinuxDAW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxDAW</span></a></p>
