Thanks Blue and Digi,
I printed out the "loop info" to read tonight.
Let me re-state my original statement. The hum isn't coming from the speakers- It's coming from the actual inside of the unit. As in, turn it on, and there's kinduva hum/buzz that is louder than I'd like.
I talked to the...
I have a new Lexicon MX200. It has a VERY noticeable hum.??
It's my first Lexicon product. Is this customary for Lexicon effects? There's no way I can record within 10 feet of it.

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...
It's me dude, Bill Clinton.
No, seriously, I work for a large poultry integrator. I work with the growers of the chickens. I've seen some WILD stuff. Among the worst sites was a whole house of dead chickens- 30,000 birds- died by suffocation/heat in a power loss. No fans, no cooling.
In the...
Limiting
I was talking with my gear sales rep today about limiting, instead of compressing. He said that though he likes compression, limiting could be what is needed in many cases.
I bought an APHEX 207 pre-amp/limiter. I'm looking forward to trying it out in some instances where I might...
Man, As I have stated before, I don't get out much. I've been using Guild Phosphor forEVER. I'm just now expanding my horizons!
Hey, have you guys seen that cool new movie that just came out? It's called STAR WARS. You've gotta see it!
titan,
PEACE
I basically see it like Vurt and dbc. I have only one compressor, so I use it when I KNOW I need it(while tracking), like on bass and percussion. I use it on most everything else too, but as little as possible.
Thanks,

CRAP! Should I just unbox my Portastudio, and cancel my order for the ALESIS HD24? (kidding, i think)
Most of you guys are doing this on computer. I'll be using a Mackie SR-24 mixer, with the HD24. Is there any benefit to NOT going to a computer in the situation we are discussing?
By the way...
Herein lies my problem. The terminology you guys (gals?) are using is "out of my league." No fault of yours, I appreciate your responses.
I'll try to find those publications Alonzo mentioned.
thanks much,
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...
-10 and+4 questions
I didn't know "we" can control whether it's +4 or -10 on the ADATs (or HD24 for that mater), aren't those "fixed". I thought "proffessional" equipment was +4. I know we can switch the settings on some stuff (like effects, pre-amps), but I thought it was automatically +4 on...
