I was hooking up my new mic to my new US-2x2 interface into Reaper - first timer when it comes to mic'ing via interface to DAW. I wanted to make sure I could get levels on a track and master. Well..
I have a problem (which I'll discuss in a Reaper thread) which led to me fiddling around and the next thing I knew all I was getting out of my monitor headphones was total distortion from the mic. Then I tried playing an .mp3 through Win10.. total distortion (uh oh..). Then a YouTube video.. total distortion - all while monitoring via headphones at the interface (oh crap!).
I unplugged my interface and turned on my powered desktop PC speakers.. perfect sound - YAY!
I just knew I overloaded and fried something, so I started unplugging the mic; the interface - figured I'll just buy another. Then I thought to try one last thing: un-install the driver and re-install it.
It worked !!! I guess I overloaded a signal and it scrambled the driver settings - but nothing can keep a Tascam down.. right?
And that's my Tascam story for today.
The End
