    +4 vs -10 : how do i use +4????

    yes, it appears as if the switch was wired in reverse since depressing the button (-10dbv) actually adds gain to the signal. so, it is working in reverse. the way i have it set right now is the only way that it won't clip the meters on my mixer: -10dbv out of soundcard +4 line in from soundcard...

    +4 vs -10 : how do i use +4????

    Behringer UB1622FX-PRO No, when engaging the +4 switch, it applys significant gain to the signal, not reduction. The meter increases to +4 when PFL'd. That's true.

    +4 vs -10 : how do i use +4????

    it's way beyond +10. that's the highest reading on my meter before the clip lights, which are constantly on as long as i satisfy the following conditions: 1. line in set to +4 2. sound card out set to +4 if i set the soundcard and my mixer for -10, the meter reads fine, although something is...

    +4 vs -10 : how do i use +4????

    i'm plugging the sound card outputs in to a stereo line input in my mixer (channels 9/10), which has a -10/+4 switch at the top, no trim knob. i recognize your icon from a picture i saw on an ebay ad for an alesis dm5!

    +4 vs -10 : how do i use +4????

    I've read a great deal about +4dbu and -10dbv. My console supports both as well as my M-Audio Delta 44 soundcard. Everything I've read says you want to be using +4 since this has more headroom and less sensitivity (more room to play with the dynamics) than -10. However, when I set my soundcard...

    RMS vs. Peak, +4dbu vs. -10dbv

    I am trying to get my masters as loud as possible. I have read a lot about dynamics vs. overall volume and the compromise between the two. What I am most interested in is making my music as loud as the commercial CD's I buy. Nothing seems to do it. What compressions setting should I be using...

    SIR and Sonar 4.0

    i figured out what was wrong with the help of some very knowledgeable folks in the cakewalk newsgroups. i had to raise my latency. as soon as i did that, wallah! all issues went away. give that a try and see if it helps.

    SIR and Sonar 4.0

    Has anyone gotten SIR to work correctly in Sonar? I'm not really having any latency issues as much as I'm getting a ton of crackles and pops now that I'm running multiple tracks with SIR. Basically, I'm sending the output of Track 1 to Bus 1 and inserting a SIR effect on Bus 1. I'm then sending...

    Firewire based digital mixing/recording?

    if you need a good firewire card that just flat out works and is relatively inexpensive, look at siig.com. they totally rock.

    Lexicon MX200 - anyone used this?

    electronic musician has a blurb about it on page 20 of the current issue. sounds really cool.

    Edirol UA-25 and zero latency

    Edirol UA-25, Alesis IO2, Tascam US-122 and zero latency It's my understanding that when you are using a USB device that has direct monitoring capabilities such as the Edirol UA-25 or Alesis IO2, you can enable direct monitoring for zero latency because it bridges the input to the output AND...

    Advice on audio interface needed

    I am crossing over from the Boss BR-864 (which I absolutely love) in to the computer-based recording/sequencing world. I have an old (6 years) laptop that I will be using until I can afford a new one. Currently I am using Cubase to record MIDI tracks from my JV-1010 via an M-Audio 2x2 midi...

    Boss BR-864 ????

    not sure if you've purchased one already, but i have the br-864 and have been using it for about 7 months. i've done just about everything imagineable with it and love it. i am moving into the computer-based recording world now, so i might be parting with it soon, but it is a tremendous little...
