OK, so I couldn't let it go. I kept reading on down through the manual and found the section describing the monitor control, including the 10 buttons for each analog output above it. I discovered that if outputs 9/10 are in the Blue state, then the monitor pot controls the feed level of those...

Hmmmmm. Came back tonight and tried it again and this time the Monitor control and the HP feed were independent. Problem is, I don't know what I did to "fix" it. I dug into the manual as well and I found some information but after reading what was written several times, I still didn't understand...

I know this is an older unit that I bought it used and have been very happy so far. But I have some questions concerning setting up headphone sends to a 6 channel headphone box. I have set up outputs 9 & 10 to be the L/R headphone outputs and have them going into the Rane HC-6 headphone box...

Well I found out that I've got a lifted ground in the receptacle I'm using. I'll get it fixed and check all the others too. Thanks!!

Thanks, actually the other side of the room is just a long wall. I've got some other pictures but I'm not where I can access them right now. I'll try to get them up. The idea about the door is a good one. At the opposite end of the room is a door that leads out to a reading alcove/balcony. I...

Hey guys, haven't been out here much recently. Just haven't had time really. We moved into a new place a few months ago and I'm finally getting around to getting my "studio" set up and I've got a couple of questions about room setup. I'm in an upstairs expandable and it's a nice sized place...

Yeah, I can try that. I'm afraid I'm going to need the preamp to boost the level though, but I'll see. Thanks! ecc83, Good idea... Mike

OK, thanks guys. That's what I was kind of expecting/thinking. A little more background. I had an HP laptop that had internal firewire. It finally bit the dust so I built my own version of a Cray supercomputer. OK, within the confines of my budget. Here's the layout: CPU: Intel Core i7-4930K...

So, after having all my gear packed up in various boxes after moving almost a year ago, I found a used RaXXes desk online which I scarfed up and finally got around to setting everything up. Not only that but my wonderful wife had surprised me with a set of JBL LSR308s for Christmas last year...

You don't mention the ceiling height but if it's like most basements, it's not a full 8'. Did you put it up? There's probably no insulation between the ceiling and floor so I'd consider pulling the drywall off the ceiling and stuffing the cavities with insulation. Then I would put back up the...

I was only being half serious when I said kicking & screaming. I work at a software company and I'm the guy that is always saying (jokingly) that I hate computers. I do, but it's a love/ hate relationship that everyone has towards them. They can be so damned persnickity at times. Which is why I...

OK, so the Presonus mixer acts like the big faders on an analog recording console. Signal comes in from the mics, is routed through the Presonus to the "tape deck"(software tracks) and the level that is fed to the DAW comes from the fader setting at the Presonus mixer. When I play back the...

Ooops, I think I used DAW in the wrong context above. I meant from the mics, through the INTERFACE, then to the laptop. That's another thing. The signal flow of an analog recording system (mixer included) was heavily drilled into me from day one. I can relate to that very easily. With...

Thanks guys. OK, that's helpful. I'll check on that. I did not know that latency settings would be different for mixing as opposed to tracking. I finally got the chance to take over our upstairs expansion area and moved everything up there and did that first session that afternoon. So, I...

But I've finally moved on kicking and screaming to the digital age. I worked in analog for several years, and I've run sound for my church for over 20 years but have not done any multitrack recording since getting out of recording and pro audio. Digital recording was just coming on the scene as...
