The Human Advantage

Where the machine
hits a blind spot.

Modern operating systems are designed to hide complexity. AI tools assume a perfect world. I specialize in the four specific areas where automated diagnostics fail to see the truth.

The Physical Layer

Blind Spot: Sensory Deprivation

macOS Report: “Device Connected”
Reality: Inadequate Voltage

AI cannot see your desk. It assumes your cables are perfect and your gain staging is correct. I found a £10 charging cable strangling an M2 Ultra Mac Studio. The software said “OK.” Physics said “No.”

“Why macOS Lied About Your Microphone.”

Migration & Legacy

Blind Spot: Contextual Numbness

System Action: “Migration Complete”
Reality: Permissions Corruption

AI will tell you to “Reinstall Drivers.” It won’t tell you that Migration Assistant secretly moved a 2014 preference file that is now choking your 2025 installer. I know the history of these files.

“The ‘Convenience’ Feature That Broke Your Studio.”

The Invisible UI

Blind Spot: Layer Confusion

Logic Pro: “Output 1-2 Active”
Reality: Muted in UAD Console

AI looks at Logic Pro settings. It forgets that Universal Audio has its own digital mixer (Console) running invisibly in the background. I know where the hidden mute buttons live.

“The Hidden Switch Inside Your Audio Interface.”

Creative Translation

Blind Spot: Aesthetic Deafness

Error Log: “0 Errors Found”
Reality: 100% Phase Cancellation

Your computer reports zero errors. An AI would say this session is perfect. But I heard the phase cancellation immediately. I don’t just fix code; I fix sound.

Special Operations:
Digital Archaeology.

For problems that go beyond troubleshooting and require historical restoration. From reviving 1985 Atari ST sequencers to rescuing liquid-damaged synthesizers.

Note: These services demonstrate the depth of our engineering capability. If we can fix a motherboard from 1995, we can certainly fix your Zoom audio.

The Cost of DIY vs. The Value of Expertise

Time is the one asset you cannot back up.

Project Timeline Start Resolution Deadline
Troubleshooting Alone 3 Weeks
“I was tearing my hair out. I read every forum, watched every video, and reinstalled everything twice.”
With Audio Support
45 Mins
“…and just like that, it worked. Paul found the setting I didn’t even know existed.”

Stop losing weeks to a 45-minute problem.
