No problem, man! Let us know how it turns out so we know for future reference!

I always think of the Preamp as Mic level. But you are right, adding +12 dB of gain on the Line In makes it a Preamp...I stand corrected. haha. Something funny too - on the PDF for the Omega, it doesn't show a 20 dB Pad, however, I have one right here and there is one for both mic inputs 1 and...

Originally, you said to run Line out of Preamp one into the input of preamp two. I think RAK and I understood it this way. Preamp means Mic input or Mic level. Line levels don't need preamps. You are correct Harvey, running line out of input one to line in of input two will not cause the...

Hard left would mean all the way to left to me. It also depends on what you are mixing and what sound you are looking for. As with anything with audio and mixing, there isn't a set rule that you have to follow. Sometimes, you can make up new rules.....

This always a good idea to start troubleshooting by updating your drivers. Since it was recent, I would try the update first. But also, think about anything you changed between the two sessions. Any software you installed, uninstalled. Anything. It may be something small that changed on your...

I agree with this. It might not work out so well. Is there a PAD on your Lexicon interface? I have a Lexicon Omega sitting here, and I see a 20 dB pad on the back. I am wondering if that is the problem. The sm57 should be fine through that interface.

That might cause the problem, although I am weary of that conclusion on because you say that alone this problem doesn't occur. Has it always happened? Or only recently? Have you installed, upgraded, or modified anything on the machine??

When you have only one track of audio in Cubase and one device in Reason, does it do the same thing? Or only when you get to multiple tracks/devices?

Hmm..I am not understanding fully what is happening then. I had a problem that I posted about one time with Reason(slave) and Pro Tools(master) causing static and clicking on playback. I found that disabling the Airport Card in my G5 removed this issue. I am not familiar with Windows OS as much...

The original mbox does not support MIDI: Features: 2 analog inputs and outputs, featuring Focusrite mic preamps 24-bit stereo S/PDIF digital I/O Pristine 24-bit signal path from input to output 2 analog TRS inserts Headphone output with dedicated volume control Zero-latency monitoring...

When you say severe lag, do you mean the two (cubase and reason) are not syncing correctly? Or is it just that when you push play it takes a while for the audio to playback?

Sorry about that, I forgot the 2. mBox2 is a good thing to look into.

You are right RAK, but there are some interfaces that require more power than the FW bus can supply. As far as USB interfaces, I would look at the mBox, only because I am pretentious when it comes to Pro Tools. :)

I am not familiar with Logic Express or the MOTU 828, however, I am sure that both Apple and MOTU provide optimal settings for you to incorporate. I know with Pro Tools and Digidesign, there is a section on the website that tells you what to enable, disable and so on. I would look into this...

I would get anoth mic dude. Start playing with placement and technique before buying other gear for your chain. I always opt for the mic purchase over anything else though. I think you can never have enough to choose from. Let me know what you decide.

I sure you tried this, but it's worth a shot. http://www.digidesign.com/index.cfm?navid=54&langid=100&eid=173&categoryid=36&nStartAt=11

Haha. I bet that is what he did.

I agree. It is a shame that a bunch of idoits post reponses like this. What's wrong with rap? I am not a rapper, but I have engineered many. I have also engineered a whole bunch of other kinds of music. Being pretentious and saying things like this just shows how narrow-minded some of you are...

Can you remove the grill and clean it out? Using maybe a q-tip and very little water? Don't use water if you can't remove the grill.

I don't always use compression on the way in, but I do sometimes. Generally, I will put very very light compression on before going to track. This way, the change is minimal, and I can prevent clipping if the vocalist gets a little excited. Then, in mixing, if I choose to be tasteless I can...
