Didn't know how much "traffic" I'd get in the Alesis forum. So, I'm coming here for any suggestions. Just hooked up my new Alesis HD-24, and I get no power at all. TROUBLESHOOTING: I have plugged it into several outlets (yes, i'm sure the outlets work with other equip). What are the odds this...

Right to it: 1) I can't tell, specs dont say, if my Mackie SR24-4 operates at +4 or -10db. Since the upper scale Mackies are +4, should I assume mine is at -10? 2) I have JBL powered speakers. I have to turn them WAY down when my master fader is at Unity level. Don't the speaker...

When tracking, isn't it best to compress coming from the insert? Is there ever a good use for using the compressor as an effect? titan PEACE

I'd like to think I am able to learn the computer recording thing. Is there a publication, or link, that ABSOLUTELY spells it out for beginners- in an EASY TO READ fashion? Some of the terms you guys use are "common", but I'm in the DARK. If anyone has a little extra time, I'll list what I...

All I hear about is 16, 20, 24 bit ratings in gear. My MARANTZ 630 cd recorder doesn't mention that in it's specs. Why? titan PEACE

What board are most of you using with the HD24? Thanks, titan PEACE

In my old age, I'm so technically challenged. The way I see it, you cant use a Mackie 1604 vlz pro, with 2 xt20 ADATS- right? At least, not using the +4 db multi-pin connector?? Any help please? titan, PEACE

I'm trying to cool down. I just received my ADAT xt20 from ##%**@. The problem is, the damn thing has a scratch on top. No, it wasn't wrapped in plastic, as is normal. That was the first "tip-off." Then, I took the brown packaging tape off the rest of the box, only to find the name and address...

I've heard that SURE 57's are decent for recording snare. What about cymbals and/or toms? Thanks, Peace

Besides proper mic, amp, eq, or however you get your favorite huge bass sound, are there any boxes you can recommend? Thanks,PEACE

Hey, I'll search the archives, but as I always do, I'll ask again anyway! Never know when you'll get a fresh perspective. Question? What do you like, and what did you pay for it. Do you wish you would have gone with a different one? Thanks to all Axe handlers..PEACE

10 years ago I had a Mackie 1604, and an ADAT. I had to get rid of it, for reasons I won't go in to. A few years ago I got a FOSTEX FD-8. (it's one of those 1st generation desktop recorders) decent sound, knobs like a straight-ahead mixer. So, I'm ready to "move up" a little. So, after much...

I'm wanting to get a lower to mid-priced multi effects unit, or two. What's the latest greatest?Thanks.

My head is so thick! I'm like Chris Farley interviewing Paul McCartney. WHY can't I understand the concept of when and when not to use mic level/line level?? In the past, I have run my mic (AT4041) into my TUBE MP, coming OUT of the quarter inch jack, to my desktop recorder. IS THAT CORRECT? I...

Good Afternoon Gentlemen, Ok. I'm supposed to know this, but I'm just a friggin songwriter who wound up with a studio, and I have only so much brain matter. What is the "reason" for a polarity switch on my mic pre-amp? Is that simple enough? Yes, I can tell the differnce when I switch it, but...

Yo Yamaha people, As I look at the possibility of buying a 4416, I see where many people have trouble figuring the darn thing (manual?) out. What gives? I'm technically challanged as is, and I don't need a few nerd Jap's screwing with my head because they lost the war. If I buy one, and have...

Hey, To you who own these machines, or anyone knowledgeable about them, what do you think of them? Tell me about the onboard effects? Do they have compressor/limiters- do you use (like) them? Thanks for any info! Titan

Suffer me, please. I could go to the archives, but I don't have the time at present. Question: Does the Mac G4 (or any other MAC) have the ability to lock sound with picture, as in music videos? thanks for the sufferage- titan

Who can tell me why I can't find any TRAVELING WILBURY'S on any of the sites such as CD UNIVERSE -CDNOW.COM? Am I in the TWILIGHT ZONE? Titan sayin what gives?

I just dropped my Tube MP from about 3 feet. I'm not set up, so as to see if it still works. I hear no "ratteling or crunching", what do you think? Anyone know first-hand how tough they are? Thanks- titan
