    Interface outputs

    Its because the person that I ignored doesn't know a real mic preamp input doesn't provide a load for the input, but a line in does. Digging further in your reply, it looks like they cobbled something together, but its not correct either.

    Shure SM7dB

    The old mod for it was to remove the filter and inset a TAB-58 transformer. Then the SM7 worked on anything and sounded better.

    Getting Multiple Tracks to be the Same Volume

    There are uses for Cd, but yes, you should focus on the mix rather than a certain output volume and establish a range of piano to fortissimo is more important in the mix as the levels, if they are too far apart will reveal a weaker sound overall. So you have to find that balance that works with...

    Getting Multiple Tracks to be the Same Volume

    quiet mix sounds better however it becomes weak when you burn it to a CD because they destroyed the format for everyone. When they master for a CD they soft clip and even hard clip with clip restoration. That is why it is very difficult to get that volume in the first place. Because the last...

    Mixing the bottom end, below 1K

    I would recommend a Tech21 Bass Driver DI into a DBX286. Then when you mix in the daw, you want a big but narrow dip at 32, 65, 135, 315, 630 and 1.5K Which to some people doesn't make sense until you throw some drums in to mix.

    Referencing a Mix on a Sh*tty Speaker

    Its the reason why I still have my NS10s from my old crappy yamaha stereo.

    Who still mixes with a console?

    I would recommend an X-Touch. The reason why I still have the M2500 is the EQs are nice sounding and have been thinking about making a card that the upper board of the existing EQ would plug into and all I would have to make is the two filters and buffer amp happen on the bottom board. I don't...

    Who still mixes with a console?

    Like it both ways, the two DAW mixers I like are Reaper and Harrison Mixbus. The analog mixer is a Amek M2500.

    Layering sounds ?

    You add two instrument tracks, then assign them the same midi channel in their plugin window, then add 2 midi tracks that one point to each instrument track and assign them the same midi i/o channel. You have to arm the midi channels even though you are not recording. Edit: You could set the...

    SOLVED: Outboard PSU for Alesis 3630 backfeeding -15VDC to AC line

    So what 3 conductor connector you are using? Also, it sounds like you have either connected the -15 incorrectly connected or it is shorted to a ground. Theoretically, it should not matter if the external power supply is grounded to 0V, however, in this case, it should be an isolated power...

    Which Linux for Non-music?

    I would use an offshoot of Ubuntu called Xubuntu since its really light weight and doesn't use a 3D accelerated desktop like Ubuntu

    Fan-less PC solutions.

    One real question is, why post anything about this in this thread? Because it has nothing to do with the fanless PC solutions I'm trying to find input about. And The Off Topic Windows XP Post are Not welcomed Either.

    Microphone Preamplifier Design Theory and Discussion

    Microphone Input Protection Circuits Over the years, there has been designs for protecting solid state devices from the surges from plugging in a microphone into an energized phantom power circuit or sudden electro-static discharges. The first transistor mic preamp designs incorporated...

    Fan-less PC solutions.

    If you wanted to do something like that with audio programs, Docker would be more efficient as it wouldn't have to spin up a copy of the os.

    Fan-less PC solutions.

    Not only gaining an advantage of no fan noise in the control room, it also gives me the opportunity to remove the instance of switching power supply noise by using a linear power supply.

    pro tools crashing

    What I find interesting is most albums could be made easily with 8 tracks and older guys like me and if you had a 16 track you were either running a commercial studio or was someone who already made it. Artist is well more than most will need and for $200 I can see it being worth it.

    Fan-less PC solutions.

    The 3d acceleration is baked into DAWs. That is why even wavelab wants an AMD R or RX series and later or NVIDIA Series 700 and later. What I gathered from computer hardware engineers is that the CPUs are incapable of the parallel processing in real time and the only hardware that is capable to...

    Behringer are going for AMS Neve now

    A lot of these circuits are easy to replicate with surface mount technology because of their tight tolerances. However, they always had a tendency to impart a sterile sound and in certain circuits, you have to match certain parts in electric parameters which sometimes work, and others don't...

    Fan-less PC solutions.

    I'm shooting for a total fan-less system. I noticed that over the years the DAWs from AAvid and Stienburg needing a 3D card and some of the plugins do too. But I hope that this can do the job and if the plugin load needs more GPU I would pop in a Nvidia Tesla card (or equiv.). I don't want to...

    Two instances of Studio One, one acting as external synth host, while recording on the first

    Well what I would do would get something like a Yamaha MFC05 Midi Foot Controller, spit its midi output with an adapter box, then run that midi to each computer, and set up the foot controller in both DAWs as transport controls.
