Setup in question: Shure Beta52A for kick drum into Saffire Pro 40 connected via FW into PC running Sonar X1 Producer. Project setup is 24bit/96k Weird thing #1 - When plugged in, the meter on the front of the Saffire is hitting upwards of about -3 (4/5 on the meter) with the knob turned all...

Setup: MXL --> Focusrite Sapphire Pro 40 --> firewire to PC --> Win7 x64 --> Sonar X1 producer I've tried changing the sample rate, latencies, etc with no luck. I'm at a loss. I tried this same thing with direct in via guitar chord into the preamps of the interface...no luck. I'm getting a...

I got Addictive Drums from XLN audio and wanted to try to practice mixing since I'm such a noob at it right now. So I laid down various random beats from the library, and just started layering (again for practice) randomly. Along the way, I got the idea to just record any random thought I had...

I'm still struggling with getting a decent sound in our tight rehearsal space. This is the latest and the best I can do with my craptacular headphones. Please listen and let me know what the shortcomings are mix-wise. This was recorded while in a closed room with a lot of loud. Setup as...

For the holidays, I got myself a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40, which is currently just hanging out on my desk. I want to put it into an angled portable rack so I can move it from home to rehearsal space with a little more ease. I was thinking about having a patch bay with it so I don't have to...

Unfortunately, I'm financially and property challenged, so I have to deal with what I have....and THIS ugly mess is what I have: Where I'm standing to take the pics are double-glass doors that open to the living room. The right side (picture facing) is shelves with a bunch of computer parts...

My band practice space is pretty small....like 13x17. We've got some acoustic paneling as well as egg-crates up all over the wall with a carpeted floor. Each guitarist has head w/ 4x12 cab. Bass has 1x12 or 1x15 combo. Drums are acoustic. Vox go into the crappy PA. My question is: given...
