My soundtracs solo 24 mixer has 6 aux sends and returns. I've got 3 effects processors in my rack that I want to wire into the Aux. I've done this on numerous occasions with previous mixers but I can't seem to figure it out on this console. For Example.....I've got a lexicon unit I want to...

Most mixers claim to supply 48V of Phantom power. How common is it for the reading to be below 48V? How low is too low and in what way will it affect the sound? I am asking because I took my mix console to a tech (for an unrelated problem) and he just happened to bring up when checking some...

I own quite a few pairs of cheap phones for bands to track with (more me's and some of the less expensive Akg's). It came to my attention when trying to decide on a christmas gift that I don't have one really good pair of phones in my home studio. I know that the Sony MDR-7506 are pretty much...

I've recently moved into an apartment and the amount of space I have for recording has taken a serious hit. More than likely, I have another year here but its not by any means my permanent living space. With that said, Ive got some mixing/small tracking that I need to get done in the next few...

I currently own a pair of Event 20/20's for my main "outboard" setup. I have recently set up a small "digital" setup with my computer and need another pair of monitors for general listening and editing on the computer. At the same time I would like them to be something that will compliment the...

My 24 channel soundtracs solo mixer arrived today. After almost killing myself carrying it up two flights of stairs (its over 100lbs in the flight case, big and awkward) I finally got it unpacked and got a chance to really look it over. So I have a few questions that might seem stupid but I...

I recently bought a 24 channel Soundtracs Solo mixer. I was just curious if anyone had any background info about the company. I understand they are no longer with us. I was just curious what years they produced stuff and what price range they fell into.

I bought a 24 channel Soundtracs Solo mixer the other day. It hasn't arrived yet but some of the connections are differen't from what I was using before so I think im going to need some new cables. One sort of has me stumped though....... The guy said that the monitor out section is on a...

Im in a really tight spot with cash right now but at the same time caught up in a transaction for a new mix desk. My girlfriend is about to kill me because I keep blowing money on gear and saying that I am swapping the new gear out for some of the old, yet I never sell anything. So here is...

I currently own and use an Alesis Studio 32 16 channel mixer. I was thinking about purchasing an outboard Mic Pre such as an RNP. Since I mix everything "outside of the box" my friend suggested that upgrading to a mixer with nicer pres/EQs would be a larger step in sound quality for me at this...

I've got a project coming up in december that I would love to try and take the sound quality up a step or two. The room were going to use is considerably better sounding than the ones ive recorded in the past. I also think my microphones would be considered highly usable for the applications. So...

Yes its me again, with yet another simple cool edit pro question. I searched the help file but it seems that they couldn't write a manual that was simple and focused enough to have the info about each topic all in one place. Im trying to draw some Volume Envelopes in the multitrack view. I...

Ok im going to take a swing at explaining this verbally but if it doesn't work, I may have to resort to screen shots. I tracked some vocals with a friend the other night using cool edit pro 2.0 . Since we didn't have alot of time, I just got him to run through the song a few times and then I was...

When using the "punch in" feature in cool edit pro 2.0, im getting an audible click. I was wondering if this is normal? Its not super loud but its there and audible enough to be annoying. I could probably get by with it in a rock setting, loud guitars against drums. I think it would probably...

I know this is probably a simple task but I don't use cool edit too much and I can't seem to figure it out. I have some vocals that I need to line up against a music file. I have the same file that the vocalist tracked against but I don't have his session file so all of the tracks don't have any...

I've never used a patchbay and I know that there are many ways you can set them up but im curious what would be the best for me? I have 6 channels of compression and 4 channels of gate that I use quite a bit. My mixer has 16 channels with 16 inserts. I hate having to climb behind my rack and my...

Im using the Spin Audio free VST wrapper with cool edit pro 2.1 . I can load the vst effect and preview it but as soon as I click ok, Cool edit starts processing and then locks up. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there another free VST wrapper?

I just started working with someone who uses Cool Edit pro 2.1 for demo purposes. Were using it for long distance collaboration purposes but I have a few questions. My "real" setup is all outboard gear with a mixer and adats and that sort of thing. I have some experience with software but not...

I was doing some work with really long audio files the other day and I began to realize how little hard drive space I have to work with. I remember there was a thread a while back about changing the hard drive in the masterlink but I can't seem to find it. My question is- How hard is it to...

Why do these things have to cost so much? I own one 12 space skb right now and I have alot of loose gear that could easily fill up another 12 space. I've been looking at 6-12 space models and I just can't find a good deal. I know im being cheap in this department, but after i buy the rack and a...
