    DIY XLR to TS confusion (Sytek to RNC)

    As an aside, I'm soon to be linking my HD24's balanced TRS outs to my mixer's XLR inputs (using a TRS > XLR loom) would anything bad happen to the HD24 if the mixer's phantom power was accidentally turned on, or left on when connected :confused:

    HD24 Ethernet, Please help

    That certainly makes things a whole lot simpler! As I'm in control of the recording side and the FOH/monitors I was thinking of a way of linking the two sides up and trying to use as little cable/few connections as possible, using lightpipe where available etc... so for me going SaffirePro >...

    HD24 Ethernet, Please help

    Jim, just wondering how you get your signals from your recording frontend into your mixer for live gigs, do you run line level TRS cables from the HD24 to the mixer? or connect your Focusrite gear to the mixer? or some other method Cheers

    HD24 I/O question...

    Thanks tnjazz, as although I do have an HD24 I don't have any ADAT gear to test it out on yet :o I'm looking at getting a Saffire Pro (8 Pre) front end for it linked via lightpipe. When recording live it's good you can pass the analogue out of the HD to an analogue mixer for stage mixes. If I...

    HD24 I/O question...

    When you plug an analogue input into the HD24, say for a channel1-8, is it naturally routed to the ADAT OUT(1-8)? And conversely, if you plug an ADAT cable into the ADAT IN for channels (9-16), is that routed to the analogue outputs for channels9-16? Cheers.

    Advantages Vs Disadvantage of DI

    *grabs coat!* if i hang around here you'll be convincing me that all money is owned by the government and that it doesn't matter who gets the drinks in so i might as well get them in, and i'll probably fall for it

    Advantages Vs Disadvantage of DI

    But isn't the point modelers are just that? they're just trying to model/copy real amps :confused: Although I've always encouraged guitarists I've played with to use modelers when recording because I love the fidelity that DI'ing gives you, my brother brought around his Fender + real amp the...

    I need Pre's!!

    Hi kizza, I can feel your pain! I bought a HD24 last year as the thought of using a computer for live recording scared me (and everyone else!) to death, but since then the market has been saturated with firewire soundcards and people linking their firefaces to their laptops and saying it's the...

    USB port not powering device

    Yep, you can't have a non-powered USB port, yet that's exactly how Dell are advertising their USB ports on their Inspiron 6400 laptops! http://www1.euro.dell.com/content/products/features.aspx/notebooks_better?c=uk&cs=ukdhs1&l=en&s=dhs (product details/tech spec tab) I / O Ports 4x USB...

    high end soundcard for high speed A/D

    When I see red chicklets I always think "asshole alert!" but the guy seemed to ask a reasonable question in a reasonable way so I'd give him a chance... but sure enough by his first reply, he confirmed my fear! :) And ironically he started off by saying... But this roughly translates to...

    USB port not powering device

    I would try pulling out all of your other non-essential PCI cards to see if it is a load issue... Are you using a USB port built into the motherboard? ... maybe this isn't providing enough power, maybe a new PCI > USB 2.0 card would provide more power? I was about to order a Dell laptop the...

    Why?

    just needed to justify to myself why i just spent 700 quid on a soundcard! (the actual answer of just being freaking insane is too uncomfortable at the moment :) )
