ugs since version4.7 came out? I
tried to render the fairchild today (been using them, Neve channel strip
etc, with no problem, but never had to render)and got a C++ visiual runtime
error. It happens right at the end of the render.
After that happened I rebooted, and tried again...same thing happened. Then
Paris got totally wonky. I re-ghosted back to a drive image with UAD 4.6
and all was well. I ran several tests and it was rock solid. I then uninstalled
4.6 and installed 4.7 again, opened up a fresh ppj, added audio file, put
a UAD plug on it and it played fine, then I tried to render and I got the
exact same runtime C++ error. Any one else seen this???
I already bought the Neve strip and the LA3A, maybe I can de-authorize them
if this new finally finally breaks Paris.
RodWell, these just arrived today
http://www.mercenary.com/ada7mopwiads.html
and I'll be setting them up soon. I did a lot of listening, though not as
much as I would have liked, and settled on those. It came down to the Focals
for a couple hundred more, but no sub, and these. I've usually avoided the
stereo + sub thing but as my music has become more and more bass oriented
I'd like to know a little more about what's going on below 80 Hz. They claim
to be only 3db down at 28 Hz, which is more than enough for a room like I
have.
The final thing that clinched it for me is the remote for the sub. I want
to be able to turn it off most of the time, and only have it there when I
want to check something on the low, low end. With the remote that's a lot
easier to do.
Anywho, after I've listened to them for a few weeks I'll let y'all know.
From NS10s to Mackie to NHT to KRK V8s to these. At the very least I should
understand a lot more about how monitors sound ;-)

Clearly she only hangs out with people who use OSX. ;^)
