Well this thread is pretty old now and I don't own any of this gear anymore but the SR16 certainly worked fine with the 2488 I had using MIDI CLOCK

UPDATE. Yep the wall box is at fault. Plugged a set of headphones directly into the speaker outputs (using a Y cable) and ran the amp at decent volume for 2 hours without a problem. Time to get the soldering iron out!

Ahh I've got a feeling that although the connection at the control room end is Stereo, the wallbox is in mono. Damn. Personally, I prefer to monitor in stereo anyway but whoever orginally wired the studio had different ideas. Thanks for your advice. Glen, I think your analogy applies when the...

Unfortunetly without anything plugged in I can't actually tell if there is sound coming out of tha amp or not ;) I suspect I may not have explained this very well. When I said tripping out I didn't mean at the mains circuit breaker. The amp remains powered at all times but the sound is...

I don't have a multimeter to check but if recalling me physics theory it should be... 1/R= (1/R)*8 which works out at 62.5ohms That said it trips out with only 1 set connected i.e. 500ohm load

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question but... I am trying to improve the headphone monitoring at the studio I have just become the engineer at. Basically, the wall box in the live room has 8 jacks wired in parallel (each in series with a 100ohm resistor presumably to prevent...

I really couldn't care less if the device is "class compliant" or not, only if it works. It seems unlikely that Avid or Tascam are suddenly going to go out of business but should the unexpected happen I have the original / installation disc not to mention a downloaded .exe of the latest drivers...

Sorry, I don't the answer to this one but if you take a look at the MIDI implementation chart then that should tell you

I'm sorry but that is utter rubbish. Have you actually tried any or are you just repeating what you've read elsewhere? I've actually recorded 14 inputs @ 24bit / 96kHz continuously for over an hour without a single glitch. These are exactly the kind of myths and mis-information I am talking about.

About 3 months ago I successfully upgraded my 2.5 year old Dell Inspiron 6400 to use a mobile DAW running SONAR 8 Producer edition. Specs: CPU: Core Duo 1.73GHz RAM: 1GB (upgraded to 2GB) HDD: 120GB 5400rpm (upgraded to 320GB 7200rpm) Battery: 6 Cell (upgraded to 9 Cell) OS: XP Pro The total...

I used to have a Boss DR-3 and a Zoom MRT. The Zoom had really good sounds, especially for the price. The Boss's sounds weren't too bad either though I struggled to find a decent open hat sound. I still think pound for pound the SR-16 is the best drum machine which is what makes the SR-18 even...

I start with "recorderman" overheads and usually add close mics in the following order depending on how many channels I have to work with and how tighter sound I am looking for: Kick, Snare (top), Floor Tom, Rack Toms. Most of the sound comes from the overheads (I'm currently using an SE1...

As a long time user of the SR-16 I was very excited by the prospect of being able to modernise the sounds whilst maintaining the same basic functionality but I'm sorry to report the SR-18 has been something of a problem child since day 1 and was one of the factors in me finally moving to a...

In terms of phase cohesion it doesn't matter what the distances are from the snare to the overheads and the kick to the overhead providing they are the same for each mic. You will however pick up more of the "room" sound the further away they are but you could always use SE IRFs to reduce this...
