Dammit i made a noob mistake. I bought a Focusrite solo to record my guitar progess but after having a play around it seems its not able to output recordings through my pc speakers.
Well, you can do that but when i tried it was very juddery and sounded quite bad. Could i plug my pc speakers into the interface?

it has line outs on the interface....so yes you can connect powered monitors to it...

My mistake, nope it has full size jacks on the back. I have a scarlet with phono outputs 2nd gen, you must have 3rd gen.

Omnisphere is insanely good. Pretty much use it in everything I do, especially for pads.

This is a little rough and is still in draft but would appreciate any thoughts:

I like that, Mags. I'll reserve it for when I'm in the mood and give it a proper listen.
Does anyone here have a live/jam hardware setup? I dipped into it last year with a mixture of old kit I had and new, and although my setup is quite limited, I'm really enjoying it - possibly more because of working live within the hardware limitations.
I have mainly Korg kit - Monologue, Volca Keys, Electribe S mk2, KP3, through an old Soundcraft Notepad mixer into the PC audio only (I also prep samples on the PC before uploading to the Electribe, obviously).

Sounds really good on these crappy laptop speakers!
I haven't really done anything in ages. Remixed a few older tracks. Hoping to record a few covers next month though.
I last recorded a band around a year ago! I haven't really had the time though to be fair.

What’s the difference between the Ableton Push and the NI Maschine please?
They both look like the same sort of device.

I wonder if you guys can offer some advice. Bit of an impulse buy on Amazon here -
I can stick a few to a wall in front and behind me (should I craft mount or command strips?) and to my right is soft curtains, but what do you suggest to have them hanging to my left? I tried to find a longer strip of foam that I would just clamp on a light stand, but could only find squares.

Need pics of you desk and room.

Tbh, it's an area of carpet that I'm asking about. How I would 'hang them'? I've got a light stand and clamps coming today, I'm wondering with them being so light I can simply tape them together along the back and hang them from the stand... I'll perhaps post a pic once I've tried and you can maybe see what I mean.
