Hi there I wonder if anyone could help clear this up for me? I can't seem to get my head around it: Using Logic Pro 9 and Allen and Heath GSR24 desk. 1) Playing a mastered stereo track in Logic that peaks at 0 dBFS as you would expect. 2) The output of Logic is sent via the desks firewire...

Hi there. I have a theoretical question here that has left me a bit confused after looking at a manual for the gsr24M mixer which shows the group channels as each having an insert point round the back. Lets say you are sending several mono drum signals to a group channel on a hardware desk...

Hi there everybody. Just wondering. If you are taking the output of some outboard gear that has a choice of either balanced XLR output or balanced 1/4" Jack output but you are going into the in of a patch bay which takes jack only, is it better to use a balanced XLR to Jk cable or a balanced jk...

Hi there I am kitting out a small studio with mini vocal booth and and seperate control room with desk etc. Will be sending the 1 mic signal from the booth to the desk and then the studio outputs of the desk back to the booth for monitoing. The studio outs allow you to send the main mix...

Hi there everybody. Quick question about the digital outs on the Joe Meek twin Q. As you can see from the following screen shot the TwinQ has an Spdif out on RCA connector and an optical out. I want to connect to an ADAT input on Zed R-16 firewire desk, but I gather that even though the...

Hi there guys. Can anyone recommend some wall mounted speaker stands or similar solution. Most I have seen appear to be the kind you screw into the monitors which I do not want to do. More of a shelf design that they sit on (preferably with tilt/swivel facility). I know wall mounting is not the...

Hi there. Im just putting the finishing touches to a youth club studio here in London. Over the years I have gradually been getting thhem into the idea of playing instruments rather than just rapping. We now have a decent sizzed live room adjoined to a pretty high end control room (certainly...

Hi there everyone. Although I am not exactly a newbie on the forum, I certainly have not been an active poster or even lurker of late as I found I was using forums to avoid doing any work and generally wasting a lot of time! However now I have reached a situation where I could do with some...

Hey ho... Hope your good. I've started a new teaching job and need to learn Logic ASAP (I'm a Cubase user). Its been on my to do list for a long time, so being thrown in at the deep end in a rather tasty logic studio with a group of 'gangsta's' who are very keen to learn is just what I needed...

Server error message suggested that my post hadnt been added so I tried again, but looks like they both worked.

Hey guys. Quick question for you. Ive borrowed an Axiom controller keyboard which includes Transport controls. In Cubase Sudio4 these are not assigned to do anything. Ideally I'd like to Play, Fast forward, activate record etc with them but can not find away (been through the manual) to assign...

Hi guys. I'm looking to spend no more than £50 on a stereo mixer. Ideally with 4 inputs (XLR not necessary) and a main out with control room out as well. I have two bits of kit that would run into it and would connect its output to my amp for general use, but also to my soundcard for...

Hey guys. Just wondered if anyone had stumbled across any particularly good plugins for Cubase (Freeware ones). I wanted to install some at a teaching centre with a low budget, to beef up the current setup. Any really good synths, samplers, and effect plugins (Compressors, filters etc) you've...

Hey Guys! Quick question about a potential MIDI setup, which I may be attempting, as I am not sure if I have this totally right. Heres the kit . Korg X3 controlling a Novation KS rack module (THe Korg is purely used as a controller, nothing else). Alesis DM Pro Drum Module, controlled by an...

Hi there I just wondered if someeone might be able to clear up the following for me. Let's say, you have 1 synth and 1 sound module in your rack and and you run Cubase on your PC with an audiop interface that has several inputs. What would be the point, or advantage to buying a small mixer and...
