    New MIDI Keys + New Model D Synth = NO SOUND, NO JOY!

    I'm not going to read manuals or dig into this much, but each device needs to be on the same MIDI channel to talk and have the other listen. Look at the documentation you have and see what is mentioned about channels and setting them. Also may something in the controller that selects the types...

    Put what at full volume??? - Set the MIC channel 'Gain 1' and 'Level 1' knob at 0 (zero). - Set the red 'Stereo Level' knob to the arrow at 3 o'clock. - Be sure the Pad button near the Mic input XLR is NOT depressed. Should be in an up/out position - While speaking into the mic as you normally...

    Hey Twiky, consider this..... Why don't we skip/forget connecting up the 2i2 to the mixer for a while and just use the MG10XU mixers USB to connect to your computer. This takes an extra level of complexity out of the equation and takes a few things off the plate that you're having a difficult...

    'Electric Keyboard' has nothing to do with connecting the mixer to the 2i2. 'Electric Keyboard' was in reference to the connection of the PC audio outputs or any other stereo input connection. Look back at the picture I posted of my mixer and interface and see if you can follow the cable...

    What TRS cables to inputs are you speaking of? You have TRS cables to connect the mixer 'Stereo Out' to the left and right inputs 2i2. The other cable to connect the PC Line out to an input to the mixer is not/shouldn't be a TRS cable. Typical connections are shown in the users guide which you...

    I've got a couple handheld condensers that run about 3.5 mv/PA. I wonder if the thought is that it's a live use mic the sensitivity can be lower since it's used close to the mouth? The pencil SDC's I have are up around 11-15 mv/PA

    SM86 has a sensitivity of 3.15 mv/PA which 'should' work OK with the 2i2 as long as you're fairly close to the grill of the mic and not a couple feet away. In comparison the SM57 is 1.6 mv/PA. The Fethead Phantom will pass phantom power. Amazon.com: TRITON AUDIO FetHead Phantom In-Line...

    Suggestions for new mics?

    I've got a Miktek C1 (cardioid only) that works well for me on vocals. I have a bunch other LDC's that I've bought over the years and the Miktek just sounds good on vocals compared to a few of the others. It does have a transformer coupled output which perhaps contributes to its sound which I...

    If it's the cables you linked, yes.

    I glanced quickly at Discord. It looks as if it may rely on Java being on the computer to run(?). Not sure if that may be why it wouldn't install for you. Have read about a few issues on security problems with Java that I won't install it, although things may have changed in respect to that.

    To connect the audio output of the MG10XU to the inputs of 2i2 you will need two 6.5mm TRS (tip/ring/sleeve) cables or a dual 6.5mm TRS like this linked one... Amazon.com: Hosa CSS-202 Dual 1/4" TRS to Dual 1/4" TRS Stereo Interconnect Cable, 2 Meters: Electronics The MG10XU is probably more...

    Quickly setup with SM57, Tascam US-144mkII, old Behringer MX 802A mixer, and Audacity to record. Mp3 played back from MS Audio player through PC line out. Attached mp3 clip. Did not tweak levels after recording. (The Metz Catz video distribution box is how I select where I route where the PC...

    I can have both the PC motherboard soundcard and USB interface enabled at the same time, although there are a few that say disable the onboard sound if using a USB interface. From the the audio line out of the PC (back connection) I can route this to an mixer input using a 3.5 mm TRS to 6.35mm...

    FetHead - TRITONAUDIO inline phantom powered preamp. Gives a high impedance (22kohm) termination to a dynamic microphone which will alter the high end frequency response to yield an improved clarity. The added gain gain means you can back away from the mic as well to reduce proximity effect...

    Condensor mic noise?

    FWIW it took about 3 days with desiccant to totally dry out my CAD M179 and the desiccant pack did change color. I now store it in a plastic bag with a small desiccant pack. I have an AKG Perception 200 I got for about $40 and it's a decent sounding mic. If you do want to take a peek inside and...

    Condensor mic noise?

    Lacking silica gel packets, you could try dry rice. Put the rice (maybe 1/4 to 1/2 cup) in a nylon stocking and tie it closed so any small bits of rice husk don't get into the mic. Place in Ziplock bag with mic. While it might work putting it out in the sun, I'd be cautious as to not get it too...

    Condensor mic noise?

    Humidity? Damp capsule can act up in that way. Place it in a Ziplock bag with some desiccant packs for a day or so and see if that clears it up. I've had a couple mics (Lauten LA-220 and a CAD M179) exhibit noise on humid days.
