Re: Focusrite Clarett software

[TheOreoMonster]

The Focusrite control software isn’t accessible but Focusrite support will 
remote into your system and set it up for you and and can save some presets 
that you can load independently  if needed. Also the iOS app is accessible when 
I tried it with my Clarret 8PreX, however once again you will need eyes to pair 
the app on iOS to the Desktop app since the desktop app isn’t accessible. Both 
your computer and the iOS device will have to be on the same Wi-Fi network to 
pair them. Also FocusRite support can remote in and help you pair the iOS app 
as well. The Clarrets are the best bang for the buck in  the premium interface 
side of things right now in my opinion.

Focusrite Clarett software

[Nickus de Vos]

Hi
I’m in the market for a new small and portable interface. I looked at 
Focusrite’s Scarlett range right away since I’ve always liked Focusrite and I 
had only good service from my Focusrite interfaces before. But then I saw the 
Clarett interfaces are not at all badly priced.

Now the magic question, have anyone tried the control software and is it 
accessible? From the looks of it there are certain things which can only be 
adjusted in the control software. Also what about the iOS app, anyone tried 
that?

Anyone tried ADX Trax, is it accessible?

[Nickus de Vos]

Hi all
Have anyone tried using ADX Trax or the pro version to isolate a tracks vocals? 
I have a client who wants me to isolate vocals on a couple of his own tracks, 
he recorded them a few years ago and lost the multitrack files.
Anyway ADX Trax seams to be the way to go, is it accessible?

I think you guys are right. This guy's just probably not worth my 
effort any further. I'm sorry to say.


Anyway, I appreciate you all's advice, really, I do!

I see, My hope was to give you an opening like...would you want  this
artist to hear  what you just recorded?
Clearly he has no grasp of marketing either smiles.
Kevin makes a valid point.
Is there any reason why, if he is not paying you, that you must answer at
all?
Better still, if he is a real friend, why you cannot say,
Look You are my friend and I want to help you as a friend.  I like you
personally, but this stuff is not of quality, here is why.
He honestly might not be able to hear what you can, if he has trouble with
pitch.
Still, if he is serious about his craft, then he  must be prepared to grow.

Granted, he did it in Reaper not PT, but that's kind of not exactly the point.

so he sounds like he's in the grand cannyon. Plus, he's got major 
major headphone bleedover, so bad, I almost can make out each note 
individually from the karaoke track he used.

I can tell, as he's straining badly, and literally almost shouting.

the compressor plug would let him, and the attack as slow as it

Worse is, he not only did this on his vocal, but he then 
reduplicated it on the master fader as well. Aaa, my aching! ears!

cut out for a vocalist let alone a producer. OK, who 'em I to 
judge! I know, I know, I'm not the greatest myself, but at least I 
listen and try taking advice when
