I'm unhappy to report this, but #Harrison #Mixbus today has let me down. Or, to be honest: I was also slightly under-prepared for the #recording 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.
So what to do? Obviously: Start up #Ardour and get the recording done.
Ardour as a #DAW on an old #MacBook 2017 running #Monterey still, with an #RME #Fireface400 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.
Why #OSX anyways? Only one reason: #Totalmix instead of #ffadomixer. I do all mixing on #Linux with Mixbus. But for this I'll just pass on stems to the studio which happens to be located in some other country.
