Don't worry about having 2 headphone jacks on the interface. You can get a Behringer MicroAMP HA400 for $20. Get a good interface with a midi input. A MOTU M2 or M4 are good, and have both audio and midi inputs. A Universal Audio Volt 2 is similar. Both are current models and should...

Wow, thats the first time I've ever heard anything like that from a Zoom recorder. If it was an audio interface then I would say that it was a buffer overrun. The only thing that comes from the top of my head is what is the speed of your SD card? It sounds as if the card can't take the...

Can you post a short sample of the skip? Does it do it on all channels at once, or only on certain channels? Are you recording all channels at once, or doing things at different times. I've got an R24 and I've done 6 hour straight recordings of 8 channels without having anything happen...

Capacitors blown or something more catastrophic?

The second video was certainly an eye opener! They always said that electronic devices stop working when you let the smoke out. I guess that proves it.

I'll second Dave's distaste for those one input interfaces. The vast majority of my time is one person, but I went with an 8 mic input interface (Tascam 16x08). It wasn't all that much more money, and I can set up for two mics on an acoustic, plus a vocal mic. When I want to compare mics...

Singing unmiked doesn't mean that a guitar mic won't pick up some of the vocal. If you're in the same room, it's going to show up. It will be low in level, but unless you are REALLY precise when you redo the vocal, it may become apparent in the mix. When I record a guitar track, I have the...

It's a selection box in Reaper. You have the options to dither and to use noise shaping. There are also selections for the interpolation of the data when changing sample rates.

The .cda files are 1 K, they are just pointers. This is the directory of a commercial album (Mike Kennealley's Wine and Pickles.

That's a spare bedroom. Occasionally people stay here. Plus I've got the desk, monitors, a bunch of guitars, amps and stuff which wouldn't even fit in the room! It's easier to just pick up the case with the R24 and grab a couple of mic stands and the case full of mics.

GG, I've got an R24 that I use for mobile recording, and occasionally for recording at home. It's so easy and compact. The Zoom is nice because you can dump the SD card into your computer and copy the files directly. I did a track a couple of weeks ago on the R24 because my computer and...

Dithering becomes more important when going to low bit rates, but I would guess that the vast majority of people would not be able to hear the difference at 16 bits. I will dither when converting to wav files (I use 88/24). I don't think Reaper even allows dithering to MP3 or OOG. And...

I don't buy CDs like I used to, but there are some that I've bought in the last several years. Gov't Mule, Nataly Dawn, Marcus King and Tommy Emmanuel are the most recent ones. I've got hundreds of CDs and albums, so I can always find something that I haven't heard in a while. Recently I...

My very old Sony receiver was doing something very similar, and I set it aside for about 15 years. A couple of years ago, I replaced the electrolytics and it was like new again. It could be a bad tube as well. You only have a few tubes in that thing. You should be able to pull the preamp...

My 2016 has both USB and CD which is great. There's about 3000 songs on my tiny USB drive, and I can take my CDs to the car to listen to mixes. It plays either standard Red Book CD or MP3s via the CD drive.

I didn't know that you needed a physics degree to understand something as simple as noise. But I guess I was wrong. I was looking at reviews of a hand held SPL meter, and saw someone's comment that it didn't work because when he had it in a quiet room it should read something like 0 but...

I don't ever remember the being a "CD+R". Everything was CD-R as in Recordable or CD-RW as in ReWritable. There are two versions of DVD, a +R and -R. It has something to do with how the data is burned. Originally a drive would support one or the other, but eventually drives would...

At the station in college, we had an Ampex that ran 1 7/8IPS that we used for logs. I used to have a couple of tapes but they were lost when the basement flooded. I don't recall the 1 7/8" tapes sounding all that bad, but we only had the 10" monitor on the wall and it wasn't exactly a HiFi...

One last thing, my very old Dell had a CD/DVD burner in it but it must have been misaligned at the factory. I could burn a disc and it would read back perfectly, but when I put it in almost any other drive, it would register as nothing there. The only player that could read it was an old...
