    clipping/ distortion?

    No clipping. The sonic space when the keys join (1:00) in seems to be very crowded or making some harmonic? I listened on good headphones and there is something there but I dont think it is clipping- not sure.

    Brand New at This

    Dont use the XLR jacks use the 1/4 inch. (You have combo jacks so just use the center 1/4 hole) Output from the mic preamp should be at +4db (pro line level) These are the 1/4 inch jacks. Your TASCAM has +4db line ins so plug it in any of those if the preamp matches +4. (Hopefully your mic...

    Noob Rack Gear question.

    Those are crimp type connectors for bare wire. You can get them at an electronic (hobby type) supply store and maybe at Radio Shack. Also in the automotive/trailer section at Walmart they have them sometimes for auto/trailer wiring etc. Don't forget to run a neg and positive for each channel...

    Help with first time audio setup.

    I didn't care as much for the Ableton Lite the Scarlett came with so I have Reaper I like better. Also, I suspect the Scarlett has headroom on the minimal side for instruments (I have been looking for the impedance cant find it anywhere) My acoustic active pickup works ok on inst setting but...

    Need help! Total noob!

    I also have a (2 year) electronics degree and it has nothing to do with audio. Audio is a totally different language although it shares some things like an understanding of impedance and voltage... Takes ALOT of studying to really start to understand the how mixers and instruments and DAWs...

    Stereo Channel without AUX

    I run my mixers REC OUT (-10db RCA) to my scarlett 2i2- cleaner signal and frees up the stereo out. Its not balanced but its only 2 foot run. Run the scarlett output back into your mixer RETURN- they should be matched at +4db... the RETURN should have its own level pot too...
