Sweetbeats nailed it. If you're taking 8 analog outputs to some other device, chances are you'll be able to use that device for your monitoring. In the ideal world you'd have 8 analog line level outputs, plus discrete 1+2 main output and no mirroring, or configurable (by software) mirroring...

Good stuff! Glad you got sorted. (y)

Unless it's a coincidence and you have two issues, simply disabling SIP should be enough. You can't just disable it from MacOS, though. It has to be done from recovery.

Alright, the kext isn't loaded - That's the problem. On both computers open Terminal.app and input csrutil status If the macbook returns 'disabled' and the iMac returns 'enabled', then you'll need to disable SIP (System Integrity Protection) on the iMac. To do that you'd boot into recovery...

I'm not sure but the first thing I'd do is confirm that the kext has definitely loaded without issue. You should be able to sudo kextunload pathGoesHere and sudo kextload pathGoesHere to confirm. You can also check under System Profiler > Software > Extensions. It's got a loaded yes/no column...

Update: I have a Drawmer 1960 schematic here. No guarantee it's the same, or even similar, but grounding the send on it would result in zero output in 'normal' mode. Fairly certain using a TRS cable and leaving the ring disconnected will solve your problem.

Hi, Welcome to HR! Do both channels work for normal operation? The side chain socket is send + return so that you can interrupt or hijack the normal control signal which, in normal operation, is the same as the audio input for that channel. With no plug connected tip and ring (send and return)...

Let's not... 😂 Edit : They should have called them 'linear polarity' eq just to be dicks.

Yeah, that all sounds pretty reasonable! It's not something I ever really use, for that reason - mostly I'm working with single instruments or sources in close proximity. I'd definitely consider it for an ensemble or a performance in a very nice live environment, like a church or concert hall...

This ^^ Apparently it's not important, since no one does it, not even big name equipment manufacturers or software developers. Labelling the 180 degree polarity flip button "phase" is about as correct as naming the volume slider "pan" and just saying, 'egh, it's fine. Everyone knows what we...

As I say, there are no phase issues. There can't be phase issues as all the sound is arriving at both microphones at the same time. It sounds like maybe you just aren't a fan of mid/side, and that's fair enough. It's probably best suited at a reasonable distance, maybe capturing a small group...

+1 to that ^. It sounds like you've just got the side channels turned up too high. It begins to sound unnatural at a point. The effect is, of course, more pronounced the close you are to the microphones, as is the case with any stereo recording technique. You can use it in close proximity, if...

If you're having phase issues with mid/side you're doing it very wrong. The microphones should be about as close together as is possible.

Hi and welcome to the forums. Pretty much any home recording software will do this. The recorded files will be wav, or some other lossless format. Conversion to mp3 would be at the export stage so just ensure you select .wav as your format when exporting. (y)

I think, although welcome correction, pan law governs how loud audio is the farther away from centre it is panned. Ordinarily if you panned slowly something from centre to one side it would seem to get quieter. I believe you can set custom pan law to compensate for that. Regardless, as you say...
