    Strange peaking problem with Carvin MX1644 analog mixer

    THE GHOST OF FM My friend is one of those guys who's busy with a hundred different projects cuz he's pretty good at everything... he brews 4 or 5 styles of his own beer, built his own igloo looking brick pizza oven, made a torch that uses water as its fuel source, and replaced my laptop screen...

    Strange peaking problem with Carvin MX1644 analog mixer

    The unit uses an internal power supply with the usual detachable power cord. I have a friend who is great with electronics and has some ridiculously expensive multimeter. I dont know if he can read schematics though... Here is the manual for my mixer...

    Strange peaking problem with Carvin MX1644 analog mixer

    Strange peaking problem with Carvin MX1644 analog mixer

    Do anyone think I just need a power conditioner? I do have a bunch of stuff running through one outlet... mini refridgerator, stereo, lamp, plus of course my Carvin mx1644 and Roland VS890.

    Strange peaking problem with Carvin MX1644 analog mixer

    My recently purchased Carvin MX1644 started doing funny things a week ago. Normally, when I turn it on, all the fader peak lights light up very bright as the unit powers on, then the peak lights turn off and everything works in wonderful analog beauty ...but a week ago, the peaking lights...

    Need help EQing drums recorded with contact mics! Wanna blaze new trails with me?

    I guess it would help if I uploaded a sample... The first one is dry, the second one is with a quick eq comp I did using Waves VEQ and VComp.

    Spreading everything Left center and right

    Thank you guys very much for the explanation! Now I really REALLY like hard panning guitars where guitar left and right arent necessarily playing the same thing, but sometimes they are. I dont actually copy/paste the guitar parts, but I do use the exact same guitar/POD setup. Will I run into...

    connecting monitors to mixer

    How come most people dont just use some expensive headphones for monitoring? MOst everyone nowadays listens to music on their iPods. ..Why not tailor your sound to the way most people will be listening to it?

    Whats a great DAW software for recording?

    I've heard from people who are a lot smarter than me that REAPER is the most bang for your buck. So I got it... its way more awesome than I am

    My mixes aren't sounding as loud and thick as professionally done songs?

    I dont understand the loudness war at all. Songs like Tool's "The Patient" wouldnt be nearly as amazing with the huge contrasting volumes throughout the song. I talked to Brian Carlstrom who did all the old school Alice In Chains albums and he said it was a real tragedy that he ended up...
