Just hooked up the mixer to my Win10 PC and got Reaper up. If you haven't looked at the Win10 sound settings, make sure of the volume settings as these may affect what gets sent back to the mixer (see attached image) Yes, the USB Audio CODEC is what you should be using, as there are no ASIO...

I have an X1204USB which should be similar to X1832USB for routing. I set it up using Reaper as an audio source (Output - USB Audio CODEC). I can get audio through to the headphones in two different ways. MAIN MIX from the main bus or via USB. Do not SOLO any channels or FX - MAIN MIX: SOURCE...

Perhaps since the 416 is one of the choices by a good many VO artists, but usually not the only mic in what they may have to work with. Check out the link below pick a catagory, click the artist name and many of the bios will list the gear they use as well as the mic. Some are using what might...

Page 54 and onward in the user manual explains assigning inputs. You need to start by setting the track type from the 'MENU' button and then using the 'ASSIGN' button you tell it which input goes to which track. The image below is my DP006 in the track type screen with both 3 and 4 selected as...

Do a Google search on "Aston mic noisy". I had recalled seeing a few threads in a couple different forums that mention Aston mic self noise. May not be your problem, but might be.

I was curious as to what my Zoom H4n (not the Pro version) could do with a budget condenser. Attached mp3 was done with a $40 used AKG P200 LDC approximately 6"-7" away with a pop filter. The room is not treated and the mic did seem to pick up some ambient room/house sounds I could hear in...

Dave mentioned 'proximity effect'. Have you tried getting closer to your AT2020 (with a pop filter)? Closeness will give an apparent boost to lower frequencies to directional mics (cardioid). Give a try with different distances to the mic and see if that gets you close to where you want. If you...

Somewhere back in the cobwebs of my aging brain cells I seem to recall some old mics I had back in the mid 60's that may have been specced that way. Lafayette Radio was a place I frequented back then and I found a catalog which among other fun stuff of the times had microphones and the...

I wonder why they chose to spec it that way rather use what is more conventional that most everyone is familiar with?? :(

Hey Dave, I did a comparison using a cheapo Behr XM1800 mic with an XLR to 1/4" TS cable and then an XLR cable into an AT8201 matching transformer into my PSR-S900 keyboard. Using the matching transformer the mic seemed to lose some of its middle to bottom 'beefyness' and seemed a bit more...

The DGX660 is an $800(US) keyboard. Splurging on a decent mic that has a NEO magnet shouldn't break the bank and the 'adapter' can be simply a cable that ties the XLR pin 3 to ground at the 1/4" and the XLR Pin 2 is the 1/4" tip...

It will noisier with a low output mic like an SM57/58 (1.6mv/PA). Less noise and tolerable with a mic that has a higher output neodymium magnet that usually has a higher output (2.5-2.8mv/PA). While these keyboards can give a reasonably decent recording, it's not intended replace a good external...

- Are you using the same XLR to XLR cable that the MK4 works with? Tried a different cable? - The XM8500 likely needs much more gain than the MK4 and the gain knob may need to be turned almost fully clockwise to show signs of signal.

Not sure a matching tranny is necessary. For a looper that may have a Hi-Z input for a guitar probably, but I recall researching this a while back for my own Yammy arranger and while the specs in any normal user docs don't seem to convey a recommended mic impedance, the service manual does show...

While the SM57/58 could work, the preamps in these keyboards tend push some noise with a mic that has a low output with the gain/volume pushed up on the keyboard and adapting a 'balanced' mic to an 'unbalanced' connection into the keyboard loses a bit more signal. A mic with a neodymium magnet...

I've got a Yammy arranger keyboard. It has a MIC input for recording. I also have a RODE NT1 old gray version (not the NT1a), a Behringer PS400 phantom power supply, and an XLR to 1/4" (6,3mm) TS cable, so I hooked this all up last night into the 'MIC/LINE' input of the keyboard. The selection...

Monitors with 1/4" jack inputs will work, just use an RCA to 1/4" TS (tip/sleeve) type cable, such as this Amazon.com: Hosa CPR-103 1/4" TS to RCA Unbalanced Interconnect Cable, 3 Feet: Musical Instruments Monitors that have a 1/4" jack will likely have a 'balanced' (TRS) input connection, but...

Not a neat job by any stretch, but simply a piece of scrap tinned hookup wire across a copper trace that I hacksawed to make a simulated break. The green conformal coating will need to be scraped off down to clean copper on each side. Solid wire for the bridge would be easier than stranded. Use...

I believe this insert would thread into the 5/8" shockmount thread. Its center thread is either 1/4" or 3/8" depending on the orientation. Auray 5/8" Male to 3/8" & 1/4"-20 Female Combo Reversible Thread Adapter Depending on the tripod you have, some tripod quick release plates may have a...

Hey there, I just tried a quick test of the Zoom pedal, but rather than a 'real' mic preamp I used a Yamaha MG-06X mixer since it was handy and already setup. There really shouldn't be much if any difference between the output of this mixer and that of a mic preamp. I used a RODE M2 (handheld...
