Thanks, that solves part one for me.

How does this device record audio to the computer if it is using rca jacks? Is it through the usb port? Are the rca jacks only for monitoring purposes? Also can I use the cubase software that comes with it to sync up the audio with video I would create with a webcam? I tried recording a short...

I tried what you suggested. The hum almost dissapeared but a buzz was introduced when the cables were disconnected. I have to admit, ever since I disconnected and reconnected all the cables a few days ago the situation has improved. The hum at this point is at a fairly low volume now. I...

Unblanced outputs on Tascam digital recorder to inputs of monitor power amp. I am not having trouble with other equipment. In fact, my old stereo which is now upstairs no longer has the 60 cycle hum it had for years before the dormer was added. I don't believe there is a wiring problem, at...

Update, I purchased a two channel hum eliminator and the hum got worse. When I pick it up and move it around it increases and decreases but it is never better than what I heard initially. Going back to return it.

Completely new room built almost three years ago with same results as in old room. I disconnect the audio cables coming from the digital recorder at the power amp inputs.

No, There is not any dimmers or flourescent lights.

I have done all of that already. The monitor out of my digital recorder to the power amp. With both units on I get the hum. With just the power amp on I get the hum as well. If I disconnect the cables to the power amp inputs it stops. Both are in the same properly grounded outlet which is...

When I turn up my Alesis RA100 monitor power amp I get a hum even though nothing is turned on. With the equipment on and the volume level at the monitor send at zero or cranked, nothing changes in regards to the volume level of the hum. I tried an experiment and disconnected the 1/4 cables...

After speaking with a VP of engineering one day at work he showed me a test with a signal generator. You block one ear and turn your head throughout the room to find where the standing waves are and other phasing problems. It was an eye opener to say the least. When I got home I used my tone...

I was wondering if the hum eliminator was any good. I must admit that to me it doesn't sound like a 60 cycle hum. More buzzy sounding but I don't know much about it. All I can tell you is the monitor send is off and I still here it through the speakers when I turn the channel volumes up on...

Thanks, just booked mark that websute for reference. Great information.

So the ends of the mics should be in the same vertical plane if I understand correctly. That is what I tried last night but I was about 2&1/2 feet from the mics and they were directly in front of the guitar body. Maybe I should try close micing and cross at around the 12th fret and see what...

Thanks, I'll try another recording this weekend and experiment more.

When using this technique for acoustic guitar, steel string and nylon, do you place the mics next to each other at the same height or one on top of the other? If micing from a couple of feet away do you generally have the mics positioned level to the instrument or higher and aiming down toward...

I own a Behringer single channel parametric eq and a dual channel compressor/limiter with noise gate. I have had them for at least five years. I have never noticed any increased noise or hiss from the units. They, in my opinion do what they are supposed to do. With that said, if I had other...

Not sure why all the negativity about Presonus. A friend of mine has a single channel tube mic/preamp, the Eureka I believe, and is very happy with it. I was considering the mp20 for my home studio. Any specific reasons why I shouldn't get it?

When mastering a final mix is it better to place compression before EQ or after EQ?

Kenny my apologies for over reacting. I've been spinning in circles trying to pick out mics and a preamp. So many opinions out there.

Well if that is the case why didn't he just say that. Reading his post sounds sarcastic to me. Maybe if we were talking face to face it would come across differently. If there was no intent on sarcasm then I apologize to Kenny and everyone else on the forum for my response to his remark...
