Help please! Can I use a cable like this http://www.zzounds.com/a--2676837/item--HOSSTP20 to come out of a mixer's Left and Right main out and into the input on my computer sound card, to record onto a stereo track in Cubase LE?(I would be putting a 1/4 inch to 1/8 inch adapter on the TRS end...

Hello good people, I have been sorting through my studio and found a couple of cables I didn't know I had. Not sure why/where I got them, but I'd like to put them to use if possible. I am a bit confused about how why and when to use these particular cables. Here's a link to the type of cable it...

I am working on a recording with a friend who has a Yamaha Motif ES. We are recording into a TASCAM FW-1082 interface to a PC running Cubase. When plugging the Motif into the interface, raising the input trim knob anywhere above 12 o'clock position creates a significant hum that increases as the...

Hi Everybody. I am hoping you guys can help me with this. I just got a Presonus BlueTube DP mic preamp. Here's what I want to do. I want to plug my guitar into it and split the signal sending one signal directly to my recorder and one signal to my guitar amp. The preamp has balanced/unbalaned...

I just got a PreSonus Blue Tube Mic preamp. Tried it out for the first time today, recording vocals using an MXL 990 condensor mic. The sound quality is good, but I am having to crank the preamp almost all the way up to get anywhere near a hot enough recording level, and even then it is not as...

I'm waiting for the reviews to start pouring in. Looks like a pretty cool digital option for folks like myself who are still in love with their cassette porta studios!

Hey everybody, I've been doing a lot of research and experimenting with different digital recording equipment. nothing very high end because the budget won't allow, but I've now had at least some experience either with my own equipment or various friends' gear, and I'm starting to wonder how...

Can anyone tell me where I can find the users manual for the new DP-01/DP-01EX. It's not available on the TASCAM site. And so far I have only been able to locate basic specs and press release overview. Looks like a very cool machine, but I need more info. Any ideas for finding detailed specs and...

Hi, I am having tuning problems when I use a capo on my acoustic guitar (an Ovation Legend). I have checked the intonation of the open strings against the 12th fret harmonic and everything is in tune. The guitar is in perfect tune at 440 according to the electronic tuner. Problem is, when I...

So, I had just about made the decision to buy the Yamaha AW16G and then Tascam released the 2488. They both fall in my price range and have the 8 simultaneous recording tracks that I need. Owners of the Yamaha certainly rave about it, but now I'm swaying towards the 2488 because it records at 24...

OK, so technically I'm not a newbie anymore, but I still have newbie questions. So here goes... What software do you use/suggest to bring the levels of songs on a mixed CD to equal volume levels? Also, what is the best/easiest method for raising the volume on individual songs? (other than...

This is a follow-up to a question I asked in another post. I have an Audigy 2 soundcard and after reading this: http://www.homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?threadid=112222 I'm thinking maybe it has greater capabilities for recording than I was aware of. I know there aren't many...

In researching interface options, I am looking at the M-audio gear. One point has got me confused and I'm hoping someone can explain this. According to the write up on the Musicians Friend site, The Delta 66 ($299) allows for 4 I/O link...
