    spdif and optical defs?

    They spend it on things like a $10,000 (or something like that) Lexicon Reverb, while us ordinary folks drool over the $250 MPX100. You only need the optical SPDIF if you have an ADAT deck and you want to get that audio into a PC, so you don't have to worry about it. It's good to know they're...

    Screwy Audio

    I swear I RTFM. Twice. And thumbed through it a few times. Page 6. CD audio comes through 7 and 8 outputs when 7 and 8 monitors are turned on in the software. System sounds come through 1 and 2 outputs. In case anyone's keeping score.

    spdif and optical defs?

    SPDIF stands for Sony-Philips Digital InterFace (the people that designed it). It's for transfering ADAT info to hard disk. TDIF is for the Tascam D-xx machines. Fiberoptic cable is less expensive and transfers more information faster than coaxial. What separates pros from homeys is money...

    studio monitor advice

    The consesus here awhile back was to go with Event 20/20 or Tannoy Reveals. Call music stores in your area and see what they have and go listen to them. Search for "monitors" in the BBS and the site. BPM Music www.bpmmusic.com has the Event 20/20P active monitors for $489 with free shipping...

    one more thing

    I may be wrong, but I think SN-8 is reffering to PC systems as well as stand alone systems when he says "hard disk systems." Try Dragon's link to Audioworks for a place to buy the Aark 20/20 ($695). Check out Gadget Labs Wave824 card ($599). I think the studios are slowly integrating PC...

    Low end ****update****

    Since you have a built in mic, I don't think you can plug a mixer into your deck. "Phono" may be for headphones, in which case it's an output, not an input. You're doing this all yourself, so the mixer shouldn't be a factor unless you want to record more than one input at a time, which I...

    Screwy Audio

    Howdy, Emeric Yes, there is a connector for a CD audio on the Wave824. I just got a cable for it today. A flat black four pin at the CDRW end (only one place to go, there are a few other pin connectors on the CDRW, 6 pin (3/3), 2 pin, and 4 pins in a square configuration, but only one place...

    Screwy Audio

    I have a Ricoh 7040A and Wave 8*24. I plugged outputs 1 and 2 of the Wave 8*24 interface to inputs 1 and 2 of my PA. I get audio from the Win98 CD, but not from audio CDs! I get sound from the headphone output only on audio CDs. Does anyone know what the problem could be? CD volume in...

    Balanced/unbalanced lines?

    Thanks, Emeric Number 2 clears things up. (That's not a pretty sentence, is it.) I don't know why I was thinking of bringing the effect back to the mixer instead of out to the recorder.

    Balanced/unbalanced lines?

    Let me get this straight: For adding effects to a single channel -- You plug the stereo jack of a Y cable past the first click into a mixer insert, and plug the two mono jacks into the input and output (L/mono) of a processor. The mixer uses the tip and ring connections to send the signal to a...
