clipping Hi dintymoore thanks for your response. I tried going into the U42S' control panel but there weren't really any setting to change other than bitrate and ASIO speed etc. I think the only other thing that I can change with regard to the U42S is turning on and off the phantom power on...

Hi, I am running Cubase 5 with a lexicon U42S audio interface. My problem is that the audio clipping indicator doesn't light up when using channels 3 and 4. It works fine when using channels 1 and 2, but when I set the default input channel to 3 or 4, it doesn't light up. This makes it very...

I've got the U42S. Demos I've recorded with it are on my band's myspace so you can have a listen for an idea of how it sounds and what levels are possible - http://www.myspace.com/thebaltics I've been really happy with it. I wrote a review on it under another topic so I'll copy/paste and...

Unless that mixer has a USB or firewire connection then I don't think you'd be able to. Other than buying a large mixer with USB or firewire connectivity, you would need to get an audio interface with 8 analogue inputs such as the Lexicon U82S.

I'm using the U42S. I don't have the same problem when I hit record/play. However, occasionally when I am recording a track at some point it will stutter which will spoil that recording. This seems to be rare though and usually only when I am on my 3rd or 4th overub, which would suggest that...

oh stop it Jeff I'm blushing! :o lol

forgot to add the myspace link - http://www.myspace.com/thebaltics

It's taken me a bit of time to post my comments on the U42S but here they are. First of all, Supercreep, in what way was my post the best ever? Or was that some newbie bashing? Lol i can take it on the chin :) Comments Anyway, I have so far recorded a few very rough demos for my band using the...

Guys, Thanks for all the help, I have finally ordered an audio interface.... I went for the Lexicon U42S. Reasons include that it is USB (my laptop has only a 4 pin firewire port and I've heard of problems with the firewire on my model of laptop), it has just the right amout of inputs for...

Correction - the guy from PreSonus (Rick Naqvi) replied in less than an hour!

Jeff_D, I'm getting the impression that you like the Firebox. Am I correct in my inference? :p The firebox looks like an excellent unit for the price, even when taking into account the price hike over here I can still pick one up for around £180-190, possibly substantially less if I buy used...

Guys, Having listened to all the advice and continued my own research (lol) I kept looking for the right unit. Basically my needs were: 4 analogue inputs (preferably the dual xlr/jack inputs) zero latency monitoring (if i saw the words "hardware moniotring" or "direct monitoring" I assumed...

People had been complaining about the preamps in the Firebox not being powerful enough if you are using dynamic microphones and lots of people were resorting to using additional external preamps to get enough gain without too much noise. The preamps on the firestudio are improved. If you are...

Guys, Thanks again for all your advice. I now have a decent idea what I am looking for and I have identified these as some of my main options: PreSonus Firebox Pros Comes with good software that looks easy to use PreSonus appears to have great technical help and users forums on their site...

Damonster - I have had a lot of help here so far and I've only been a member for a couple fo days. They guys here are great and I'm sure they'll help you! Cheers Dave
