    Front & rear outs on SBLive stopped working

    I've got Sonar 2.0XL, and up until yesterday, besides one BSOD, it's been pretty stable. Then half way through messing with a song, I put on my headphones, and the sound was just a barely recognizable, garbled, static-filled version of the original. The headphones are connected to my mixer...

    Can't hear Edirol VSC when recording

    Last night I spent a good hour fighting with Edirol. I could hammer away at my synth and hear the sounds, but as soon as I hit 'R' to record it would stop responding to my playing. The song would continue to roll along, and the other VSC would play fine. And, if I pounded away at the synth...

    What is the noise floor on your Delta?

    Thinking about getting a Delta 44 or an Audiophile 2496 as an upgrade to my SBLive. After recording a blank track on my SBLive with nothing plugged into the line-in, I get between -72 and -63 (usually closer to -63dB) as a noise floor. Of course this is completely useless as soon as you start...

    Is this normal: Signal delay thru mixer?

    I have a Behringer UB502 (smallest mixer they make I think), a Shure SM57, and a guitar and effects box. The main outs on the mixer are plugged into the line in on my sound card. If I turn up the mic and give it a little tap, the sound comes immediately through my monitors, so no problems...

    Acceptable noise floor on mic?

    Anyone know what an acceptable noise floor is on a mic setup? I have an SM57 into a Behringer UB502 mixer, then into the line in on my SBLive. I'm getting about -60dB showing in CoolEdit with the mixer turned down all the way, or about -40dB when I'm not playing (there's lights on in the room...

    Power switch on EuroRack UB502?

    Ok, completely dumb question warning.... I bought my first mic (SM57) and mixer (the aforementioned UB502) to do some simple home recordings on my computer. The thing is, I plug in the UB502, the little blue light goes on telling me it has power, but how do you turn off the unit? Do I always...

    Recorded quality of distorted guitar sound

    I have a P4 1.5 with an SBLive card. I'm using my Korg Pandora's headphone output into the line in of the soundcard. Normally I would think this is shunned (headphone outs are not line level), but there is an output level setting on the Pandora which is turned down far enough so that the...

    Help! High E string keeps ringing

    The problem: I try to play metal, you know, with lots of repeated low E palm muting. After playing, oh, lets say the main riff for Metallica's 'For Whom The Bell Tolls', or Megadeth's 'Reckoning Day', if I stop the strings I've been playing on (mostly low EAD, maybe G), I find the high E and B...

    Audio levels on ProAudio9 w/SB Live

    I have my guitar effects processor (Korg Pandora) plugged into the mic input on my sound card (SB Live 5.1), and the mic toggled as the input (in the SB Mixer and/or the Windows sound recorder). The input levels on both of those are maxed. The output on the Pandora is maxed. The problem is...
