I suppose another way to do it would be to leave the software as it is and do this: Plug the guitar (or amp mic, or POD or whatever) into channel one of the mixer. Disconnect the mixer's main output bus from the soundcard's inputs Connect the AUX SEND 1 output of the mixer to the soundcard's...

I'm pretty sure it's not the mixer, but I am wrong often enough to be willing to admit I'm in over my head. Here's my take on it: According to the block diagram for the Behringer 802 (in the manual at their site), when you engage the two-track to control room function, you automatically...

I agree that it doesn't sound like the outboard mixer could have anything to do with it. I really think he's got the soundcard's mixing program set to where it's not delivering the signal at the inputs to the outputs for monitoring. The card's gotta be full duplex if he can hear the output...

If I understand this right, you can't hear what you are playing while you are recording it, but can hear the tracks you already have recorded? Unless I'm wrong, this should be a software setting in your computer, either in your soundcard's mixer program or in the program you are using to...

On a P-bass, the tone/volume knobs and output jack are attached to the pickguard. Since these are attached by wires to the pickups, BF will need to be careful. This may seem elementary but given that BF is new it may save him from yanking wires loose or whatever. Bass Freak, you'll have to...

Weird. It's like I'm a ghost or something. I replied on this thread, and again it didn't bump, and it still said that zer0sig was the last contributor. This is a bump in hopes of getting an answer to the monitor question.

Thanks for the excellent replies, everyone. Sounds like this shouldn't be too hard (the last PC I built was a pentium 233 in an AT case, if that puts anything in perspective) to accomplish. It looks like the PC is probably the way to go. Another thing I'm curious about is video monitors. I...

Didn't know about that one, but I have seen this sort of thing before. I think one Monty Python or Firesign theatre record has a "Side 3" concentrically grooved into one of the sides of the record. When I was a kid I had a Mad Magazine record that played the beginning of a song, then had like...

This is a bump because it didn't get bumped when I fixed it the first time. Sorry if it annoyed anyone. I don't know what's going on with this place today...

Oops. I signed in to add to my question and it seems the BBS ate it. No wonder I had 10 views and zero replies! Sorry about the cryptic post, everyone! Let me try again.... I want to upgrade my current set-up and am trying to decide between a better PC or a standalone. I have worked with...

To carry balanced signals, you need at least two conductors and the shield for each XLR connector. You definitely want shielded cable. I can't help with gauge. I also don't know if it would be better to use snake cable (many conductors inside one shield). For that and guage I have to defer...

If I like a CD that has a bonus track enough to listen to it often, one of the first things I do is burn myself a copy with the silence removed and the bonus track changed to its own separate track so I don't have to deal with it. I started doing this when I got a copy of the Cowboy Junkies...

Hmmm Perhaps a good starting point would be to record each song into two tracks of whatever multitracker you use, with each one running concurrently. Then you could quickly A/B them by muting/soloing/whatever to get an idea of what needs to be done to each one. OB

I'm guessing your Pandora's headphone out is intended to double as a stereo line out. I would get whatever cable (probably a Y cable with a 1/8 or 1/4 inch stereo plug on one end and two 1/4 plugs on the other end) you need to go from it into the audio buddy and let the audio buddy handle...

I can't speak for the combo you have, but I currently have an Event GINA 20 in a dell latitude/C-Dock combo. It works fine, but the laptop fan is too noisy for the recording environment, which is a shame because the LCD screen can be left on while recording with no pesky interference in the...

AlChuck's got it right. I had the same issues with an older Soundblaster. I switched to a better card (one of the early Event GINA cards) and that problem (along with several other sound quality issues) was solved. This was on an old 233 MHz pentium, so the speed of your PC shouldn't be an...

I believe you have to make sure your power supply has the necessary connectors for a p4 motherboard. I am not sure but I think there is a connector you need on the "p4 ready" power supply that previous ATX supplies don't necessarily have. OB

That should do it, though if imalion's right about better bass response on 1 and 4 (I never noticed the difference on my old Yamaha, but my ears might not have been good enough to tell at that time), switching the drums to track one might work better. Let me second the 30-min TDK SA tape...

I'm willing to bet I had my terminology a little bit mixed ("noise floor" vs. "dynamic range" vs. "signal to noise ratio" are probably all subtly different concepts but I was sort of using them all to mean the same thing), but I did mean that with more dynamic range in 24-bit machines, the...

Though I'm not LD, I just read what he said and it suddenly made a lot of sense to me so I think I'll give it a shot. I'm not terribly experienced and don't even have a 24-bit machine yet, so if I'm way off base here I hope someone will correct and enlighten me: If a 16-bit recorder is capable...
