Month: September 2019

A big part of the sound of Kül d’Sack (one of the bands I play in) is our Bose L1 paired with the Bose Tonematch mixer. The prebaked digital modeling settings for Shure microphones is just great on these Bose devices. The sound quality is uncannily good. Unfortunately a few gigs back one of the…

Can’t find a message that I JUST FRICKIN’ SENT a few days ago! Let’s try Googling: Well, I’m not the only one! The inability to use the Messages app on the Mac to search message history is really a nuisance. That, and I’m noticing Spotlight search in general seems to really be crappy lately. I…
