    Please Help!!

    First let me apologize for my lack of understanding of the DAW world. I'm slowly getting there. I am using ProTools Studio with the Soundcraft ui24tr for and interface. Yes I sound like a broken record. I am getting some good results, but I just can't wrap my head around all the signal flows...

    Am I missing something??

    I am talking about in the Soundcraft ui24 mixer patching. The I/O's in Pro Tools are fine. I am having issues with the patching to and from the ui24.

    Am I missing something??

    I hope this is in the right place. I am using a Soundcraft ui24r as an interface for Pro Tools. Maybe I am missing something, but there seems to be a lot of patching and re-patching within the ui24r itself. When I patch things to record they disappear from the output patching grid. When I patch...

    Thanks Markmann!! I'm sure it's just gonna take some new approaches. I'm sure it will come together after some more time working in the software.

    Hi I just made the jump to DAW recording. I have been an analog guy for quite some time. I am trying to wrap my ears around this new sound. I am just messing around with basics right now. I'm a live drum guy and I can't get my kick drum to sound good with this new system. I am used to a huge...

    Pulling the trigger

    Yes I have the inputs and outputs set up correctly. I did find the answer after searching for quite some time. You have to go to Settings> I/O> Outputs> Bus (tab)> click Default button. All the inputs loaded up and I was able to record and play back. None of the videos I found online covered...

    Pulling the trigger

    I found out there is a 2nd set of gains and phantom power if you scroll to the right up past the regular inputs. I still have no signal using those gains. Obviously I am missing a step somewhere. That and ProTools doesn't recognize an output choice on the track I created. I would appreciate the...

    Pulling the trigger

    So I am working on getting everything set up. ProTools is installed and ready to go. I have watched a few videos on how to set up the Soundcraft ui24r for DAW and I keep running into an issue with my gain page. When I set the channels like they should be the Mix page has faders, but the gain...

    Pulling the trigger

    Thanks Dave and Bird Garden. That's what I thought. I will be in the studio all weekend learning and absorbing whatever I can. I thought about getting an interface, but sometimes I am using 12 mics on my kit. So I would need at least 12 XLR inputs. Hopefully the Soundcraft will work fine. Thanks...

    Pulling the trigger

    I appreciate everyone's input. For right now I am going to do the ProTools subscription. My son has it and we would be able to share files, an right now he can help me get going. I can try one of the others at some point in the future and if at the end of my year subscription I choose to go...

    Hello I have been a member of the forum for quite sometime. I have been an analog guy for a long time Tascam MSR-16, Mackie Onyx 4880 and tons of outboard gear. I am finally making the jump to DAW. I am going to a Pro Tools subscription. I would welcome any recommendations. I have a Soundcraft...

    Best place to get 1/2" reel tape?

    Hi, I am a newbie to this forum, but not to recording. I have a Tascam MSR-16 and I'm sure that I am not the only one who is finding it harder and harder to find analog tape. I have been watching Ebay for used tape, but it is very hard to find. Is there another outlet where a person can find...
