Hey ashcat, I tried to think of some legit reason to reduce the cognitive dissonance I'm feeling about this... but I'll just tell the truth: it's because sometimes I do really dumb things and then keep doing them... Thanks man, G

Thanks!

Hi Dave, Thanks a bunch for your response. I'm a little confused about what you're saying about "fussywire".... So my interface is a motu896mk3 hybrid and I use the firewire port on it... but I have a new imac, and I use a chain of adapters to plug the interface into the thunderbolt port on my...

Hi all, Very dumb question, but I thought I'd ask. I'm playing guitar and singing, feeding that into my audio interface, and feeding the output of the interface into my computer and DAW. I have only one pair of headphones and so what I've been doing is plugging headphones into audio interface...

Thanks Fairview. I had everything on mono... strangely, turning the interface on and off did the trick. A follow-up question if you know the answer... My interface is the motu896mk3 hybrid, which has on board effects. Before this I have just been recording my acoustic guitar with two mics...

Hi all, I just tried plugging a looper pedal with a pre-recorded acoustic-electric guitar loop straight into channel 1 of my audio interface. I'm monitoring through my headphones... but strangely the sound mostly only comes through one ear of the headphone and not the other. The sound is barely...

Thanks Gecko. Will give both a listen when the AM comes around.

Thanks Boluder. Will give it a shot!

Thanks Boulder. Would that sound better?

Hi all, I have my acoustic-electric guitar plugged into my looper pedal, which then feeds into my mixer (high z setting enabled for acoustic-electric instruments), which feeds out to the mixer speakers. I recorded a loop, with one acoustic guitar track overdubbing another acoustic guitar track...

Thanks Gecko, all makes sense.

Thanks Gecko... Yeah I definitely plan to do some overdubbing, so makes sense to set MOTU as the output device when I do that. Just wasn't sure why to have it on when I'm just recording the guitar for the first time.. Currently fiddling around with the CueMix software...

Thanks boulder. I skimmed through the CueMix section in the instructions last night, but didn't realize I need to turn direct monitoring on through there. Going to read through that section again now in more detail. About you saying to change the output device in GarageBand to the MOTU... If I...

Hi all, I just set up my first audio interface (Motu896mk3 hybrid). I plugged the interface into the computer, and then I plugged a condenser mic into the first input and turned on phantom power for that channel. I also plugged headphones into the main out jack of the interface. In the Motu...

Thanks very much Rob! Big relief!

Hi all, Newb here. I just set up my motu 896mk3 hybrid audio interface for the first time. I'll simply be inputting some microphones (a vocal mic and a couple of condensers recording acoustic guitar) into the interface, and then outputting to headphones and DAW (garageband on imac). In the...

Tim, this is amazing. Thank so much! At first this paragraph seemed like a beast to conquer, but got through it in like 5 minutes with some quick reading, and I think all makes pretty good sense. I will definitely message you with questions. Your setup looks mighty and awesome. Cheers man, Gene

Thanks much for the thorough explanation Rob. That all makes sense. Cool feature you mentioned on Cubase. Will have to see if I can figure out how to do something like that with my software.

Thanks LazerBeak. This is exactly what my logic is, as I just wrote above to Rob.

Hi Rob, thanks for all of this. So is what you’re saying that I can add reverb live while singing/playing using the DAW, and that any latency produced by this will be negligible? Also, I’m curious why you might both mic the acoustic-electric guitar and also send it via cable to two separate...
