TIP Sequoia adds an extra step when installing NI Hardware (Keyboards or Maschine) and Native Access
I found when updating to Sequoia that Apple now requires many apps and processes to be added to the Local Network for them to function correctly and this seems to include NIHostIntegrationAgent as well as most DAWS, and things like iLok. (It did also ask me to add NTKDaemon but it looks like that is not required) So if…

SHIFT + STOP Combo or double press STOP to go to the start.

EDIT: For anyone on MacOS NIPatcher can modify…

Tonal Balance Control is a Priceless Mixing Tool
Mixing tracks is way easier after I found Tonal Balance Control. I used to spend 20+ hours on the final mix, comparing my master mix to reference songs step by step, all by ear.

S88MK3 Sends Midi to plugin and DAW, but that's it. No browser. No Daw or transport. Plz halp. 🥲
Okay. So. I started off with a unit (S88 MK3) that didn't want to connect right out of the box.
