It's always the cable

[Romain]

Hi Peter !! 
I miss Gert too ... I don t know why but  I convince myself  that his spirit will visit me when i m making music but specially for mixing; cause when I recall years ago  all his sharing advice about freq cutting/boosting,compressor,multiband, etc ousic bar, it was to me at the time kind of witchcraft but it was years of his precious knowledge. 
I guess if we were Jedi I think Gert would be our Yoda...
And I can tell you, most of the  time I do a cut or a boost in some freq range, there is our Gert sighing me some tips to my right ear in a Space Galatic emperor langage ... 


I m glad that you re feeling better and I am always curious to see the new music setup of barians :)

Ps: self-creativity is one of the best therapy imo
 ;)

Long story short, it was the extremely cheap SATA cable that connected a not-exactly-cheap SSD (>€400 when I bought it) to a pretty high-end PC (I bought a 16-core Ryzen 9 CPU recently and it's an absolute beast).
