a bosendofer ;) thanks! you know, it took me longer to type the notes out and print them than to write the dang song! (2 days compared to 1.5) Still can't figure out how to do some stuff in Finale. anyway, i just got the printe sheets from Kinko's back. looks good... but the lady there...

thanks guys.... i will always have this song. heh he... i bet we all have written a song or two for girls at one point in our lives. it's quite a special thing.

congratulations;)

hello. i spent about a day and a half writing this song for a special girl. this song is also the first song i have written in 5 years... i felt compelled to do it. i'm not looking for any criticism... i just want to share this song with you folks. i do realize there's way too much noise...

i don't think it's exactly a question of where your trim knob should be. you said you were getting noticeable distortion no matter the position right?--even at low volumes? that would indicate an overload somewhere. if you were plugging a line level signal into the mic input on your recorder...

well, you're supposed to have it at unity--which apparently is defined by these folks as the point where your recorder neither multiplies nor divides signal. actually............. that was what i really wanted to know at the very beginning of this thread. .....i don't know where unity is on my...

...you're not routing the pre to the mic input of the recorder are you??? you need to route the line outputs of your pre to the line inputs of the recorder. yeah, mine have no indent. they are smooth all the way. how are your trims marked? if they are the same as mine, then mine are...

yes, i understand. point taken. ;) but how come you don't wire EVERYTHING directly since you seem to really like direct connections? you pretty much can do everything within the computer these days.

jaeden, i think something else is wrong, not just that trim dial. if you've tweaked it and the pre output all you can, and it still sounds like a distortion guitar... then i dunno what's wrong... but it ain't where you're putting the trim pot. you said you were connecting the mic straight to...

it's not difficult to grasp! i understand what you say completely, and i recognize your points. and you're completely right.................... IN A WAY. think about it this way then..... in today's environment, you don't really need a mixer at all. it isn't hard to rewire everything here...

oh, okay.... then that's what i usually do. thanks then. :D

hi. well, i tried the manual.... but it really doesn't talk about "unity." it does list a level setting procedure, but it's nothing that's not common sense. i guess then the question is, "what is unity?" i know on the faders it's at the 0 or "U" position. but on the trim there is no 0 or...

thanks.... but by unity, where do you exactly mean on the trim knob? cause on the mackie it says seinsitivity: +4 to -40dbv, and mic gain: 10db to 50db. i assume you mean the trim turned all the way down right (+4dbv, 10db)? thanks for all the responses by the way... learned a bit.

yes, you can..... in fact... i suppose that's what most people here are doing by the response. but i just think that the mixer should be the whole "brain" of the system. i mean, there's no need to buy a mixer if you don't need it for routing/monitoring. after all, if i really wanted to...

so you still bypass the mixer when you use an outboard pre? you don't even send a split to the mixer for monitoring?

the Motu has trim knobs on the face anyway..... so the question still applies even if i wire the pre straight. blue bear, you use a mackie right?--how do you have the outboard pres wired in your studio?

hey man, i ain't THAT stupid! heh he.......... i meant i plug the mic to the preamp then to the mixer. i have a Mackie 32x8 with a complete patchbay. the busses go to a Motu 896. the pre MUST go to the mixer. i'd rather sacrifice that last tiny bit of performance for signal routing...

hi. i have what i think is kinda a dumb question.... but i've been wondering for a while: when you use an outboard mic preamp, do you turn the trim controls on the mixer all the way down?--or is there a position you're supposed to put it at? in other words, what trim position would give the...

hi. got a pair of vintage Urei 539 Room Equalizers. these are the real deal!--vintage graphic EQ's to be used with monitors. cut only--no boost. i recently had them checked over, cleaned, and calibrated. was told they were within spec. i also modded them by removing the old barrier strip...

heh he.... listening to it now. sorry... missed that one... the drums and bass and strings deceived me in the noisy car. nice song.
