Thunderbird gets confused (or maybe it's Mike that gets confused) if you
try to use different SMTP servers for different e-mail accounts. That
won't show up to spammers unless they look at the full header of the
message, and that's too much trouble for not enough activity, at least
in rec.audio.pro.

So in the Thunderbird Account Settings for eternal.september, put in
SMTP server that works for other mail and that should get it out.


Giving this a try... here's hoping.

AND... it worked... goodbye, Google!

Thanks, Mike, Scott, and all. Focusrite 18i20 is working well, although
there's still a couple things I still need to figure out (headphone
level is pretty low, but from searching around that seems to be
solveable with some settings within Focusrite Control, and once,
although I was getting signal to Samplitude fine, Focusrite Control kept
returning a "Hardware Not Detected" message during one session until I
rebooted the laptop, then all was well. Not sure what that was all about).

So far I've done a few test sessions using the pair of AT4050 mics in
Blumlein setup on a Yamaha C7... first just straight into the Focusrite,
and then Great River/PSX100/Focusrite. Both worked quite well.

Now... to find a couple channels of HV-3 ...

About a year ago "Recording" reviewed interfaces from Audient. In addition to liking the interfaces (including the mic preamps), they noted that many of them include an Insert jack, letting you run a line-level signal directly into the interface. If that might be a feature that you'd like to hsve available, you should probably check out the Audient boxes.
