You've discovered the downside of Roland. They make great stuff, but they don't provide manuals online. (edit: Please ignore this paragraph -- see below.) I have an R-8M, but I haven't used it very much. But I do have the manual in front of me. Unfortunately, the user interface is not very...

If inputs 3 - 8 are microphone inputs, the answer is yes. If they're line inputs, you'll need preamps. A quick Google search seems to indicate that they are in fact microphone inputs, so you should be all set once you get the XLR to TRS cables.

The manual does give the same "mixer rated output" for the main, CR, aux, and alt outputs. But it's a bit vague about the gain staging. One thing I find curious is that the maximum gain from input to output is vastly different between the main (TRS) and alt outputs -- about 15 - 16 dB...

What inputs are you routing the signal to, and how are you measuring the loss? (I downloaded and read the manual, so I can answer in more specifics now.)

This may surprise you, but that's actually just about what you should want, with the remaining headroom on the Mackie nearly matching the headroom in your DAW. Don't confuse 0dBm (zero on the Mackie) with 0dBFS (zero on the DAW). It would be foolish to try to make the two line up. It's kind of...

What you ask for is possible in theory. The main problem with creating a virtual device from multiple hardware units is getting their clocks to run in sync with each other. As accurate as digital clocks are, the drift, even between two seemingly identical units, would be sufficient to make the...

I used to use a setup similar to that all the time. Worked like a charm. I looked at the MIDI signal with a scope one time, just to see how much cable it would take to degrade the signal to the point where I could see a difference. As I recall, it was on the order of 100 feet before there was...

If the clip light is working properly (and that's a pretty big "if"), here's how I'd approach it: Bring the input level up until you see the peak indicator occasionally light up. Then use the output level to bring the signal up to the level needed by the next stage (the input of the Delta)...

MIDI Time Code (MTC) is your friend. If you just set the two devices to the same tempo, and press START, they will drift out of sync. This is because each device is using its own internal clock as a reference. You have to have some way of getting them both to march to the same drummer, so to...

Audiolines.com has a public domain registration, with an address in Chicago. This lines up with the information on the site. Mackie lists that company as an authorized dealer for Tracktion: http://www.mackie.com/products/tracktion2/t2_dealers_alpha.html My feeling is that the site is probably...

It all depends on what you're looking for. The way the capital letters are formed is quite similar between the "neat" and "sloppy" versions. I'm sure Buddy's autograph was quite variable depending on what condition he was in, and also how much of a hurry he was in. After seeing the other...

Looks like "Buddy Rich" to me. Dang, he was good. Don

That may be true for some computers, but not for any of mine. If there's a resource conflict between the old soundcard and the Audiophile, it may be possible to resolve the conflict by moving one or the other to a different PCI slot. (Naturally, if the old soundcard is built into the mainboard...

Just to be clear: "bandwidth" refers to how much data must move through the wires in a given time, not the amount of space the data takes on your hard drive. Don

The 32-bit float format has a couple of benefits that might be significant for you. First, gain changes are completely non-destructive. With integer samples, you lose resolution if you lower the gain; bits are lost forever. With floating-point samples, gain changes affect only the exponent, and...

Apparently he's in China. That in itself does not make the guy a scammer. But I would advise caution. Perhaps more significant is the fact that the guy has lots of auctions going, yet he has only one (very recent!) feedback entry as a seller.

He's got another auction for FIVE SM57's, with a b-i-n price of $98 + $55 for shipping (oh, + $5 more for insurance!). That's a TOTAL of $31 per mic. Too good to be true, methinks. Oh, and he's got FOUR of those 5-packs up for auction. Plus lots more. I can hear it now: "What?! You got an...

Judging from the guy's other auctions, it looks like he's up to his eyeballs in microphones. Something doesn't smell right. The shipping charges ($28) seem a bit steep. That could be the key to undertanding the scam, if indeed it is a scam. An SM57 weighs 10 ounces, according to Shure's...

Yes. You need something to go between the Audiophile and your headphones -- a headphone amplifier. I use my computer's onboard soundcard for this purpose.
