I'm in the market for a new soundcard. There's an aspect of sound cards that I don't get. Namely, can I put any old 8-channel A/D D/A converter break out box with any old 8-in, 8-out sound card? For example, can I attach a Behringer Ultragain Pro8 ADA8000...

I tried it at home and it was fine. But up until a few days ago, it was fine in the studio, too!! Suddenly, it humms no matter what I do!

@ teknomike - I didn't mean the instrument jack, I meant the plug socket where you plug it into the mains supply. The amp humms even when there's no instrument plugged into the jack sockets. I'm going to get the thing fixed. I hope there's a Marshall shop in town..... Thanks to everyone for...

Hi there, I spoke to someone about it today and they said I should lift the ground. So I did. It still humms. So I left it humming and unplugged all the other devices: synths, lamps, the fridge, ventilator fans, heaters etc until NOTHING was left plugged in apart from the amp and it still...

Hi, sometimes, when I switch my guitar amp on, I get a terrible humm. It's a constant tone and it won't go away. Sometimes it goes on for hours and I don't know what it is. Other times it stops after I pull out the plug and push it in again. I've heard of 60 Hz groundloop humm and as we in...

Hi there, I couldn't find it at the link you gave me but I found it here: http://www.akaipro.com/global/download/archiveOM/S3200XL.zip thanks

Does anyone know where I can get hold of a English manual for the Akai S3200 sampler? I've got a German one when I bought the thing but I'd prefer english. I've been to the AKAIPRO.com site and they only offer the S3000 which has less features. Thanks for any help

what's an "ADAT Bridge 16 Bit" and what do they do?

hi there, thanks for the reply. Just a couple of quickies: 1) I'm a little averse to using fiberglass as I've got bad lungs and I've heard that *some* people (not all) can react to the fibers that are given off. Can you recommend another material? I assume any rigid material will do. 2)...

Hi there, I have a small studio in a celler apartment. There's one double-glazed window in the control room, outside of which is a kind of drainage and lighting "box" measuring approx 4"x4"x4" where the light gets in and the leaves gather in autumn. The top of this box is a grid at ground level...

it's a transistor amp Hi, I looked around all day today on the net and found this information: "2195 JMP Lead & Bass, 100W head 100W cabinet This amp (and cabinet) was in production from 1976 up to 1980. It was an all transistor Master Volume amp." I found this info, together with a...

Hi, I've got a Marshall head called "100 watt lead and bass" with a gold coloured front. Model number: 2195; voltage: 120/240; frequency 40/60~; watts: 190. I don't know if it's a valve amp or not but when I opened it up there were these two blue cylinder things about two inches tall and about...

what's the delta 44 like? @Bulls Hit - how do you rate the Delta 44? Anyone got any opinion on the MOTU828 mkII? Or the RME Multiface? thx

further busses hi Seanmorse79, thanks for the reply. I do indeed have direct outs on the desk but I wasn't aware that I could control the recording levels with the gain knobs. I thought that direct out meant the signal goes into the desk and straight out again without going through any of the...

Hi, I don't understand the relationship between the busses on a mixing desk and the sound card. It seems to me that if you are using 8 microphones to record simultaneuosly and you wanted each of those microphone signals to be recorded on seperate tracks in the sequencer then obviously, you...

Is that link correct? Hello Jollylama, thanks for the reply. Are you sure you got that link right? It just sends me to some "that name is registered with us" page. Thanks Karambos

Hi, I have a problem trying to understand what audio interfaces are for. As far as I understand, an audio interface (like something by MOTU or the PROTOOLS 888) sits inbetween the mics you are using to record with and your audio card. Or does it sit between the mics and the desk? If you are...

found one! Hi all, many thanks for the replies. I'm looking for the chord name because I will have to get some musicians together to play the thing. I'm going to settle for F13. I found this shortly after I posted: Pocket Piano Chord Name Finder thx Karl

Hi, I need to find a website which will let me enter the notes of a chord and it will spit out the name of the chord. I'm writing music on a piano for a singer and I have to write out the official names of the chords. The problem is, I don't know what they are sometimes. Here's an example (ON...

thanks mshilarious for the reply. What do you mean when you say "dub" the kick drum? I don't understand the expression (other than "dub" as a type of reggae music). Do you mean "add it later using a sample"? Thanks once again for your time in answering my (possibly dumb) questions. Karambos
