I bought the Ark 24\96 card 2 months ago. I did not use more than one input unill a few weeks ago when I recorded our quartet. I recorded three vocal parts plus a keyboard at once. Later I added my bass vocal. The problems seem to be about the same ones that Funky had (found the thread in a search).
1. I had a great deal of problem setting record and monitor levels when tracking!
2. When I started mixing I found that as I removed some on the low frequency to brighten up the mix there was a noise, like static in the tracks, even when the levels were no where near peaked. The tracks are not even near being clean.
setup was:
1. AT-813 condenser mics
2. N-track
3. all vocal tracks recorded direct into the Ark box using its phantom power. With various mic setings(line in and mic 1
4 For the keyboard I came out of the line out of the Keybd into the Ark #4. Line in wasn't hot enough so had to use mic 1 setting.
Did I make a $400 mistake when I bought the Ark 24\96?
Could any of you Ark owners help me?
