    POwer testing in old house

    Coming into this thread as late as this, I'm sure someone has already mentioned some of the things I'm about to mention. But, coming from a different person's brain, things can be explained differently and maybe that different perspective can make it clearer or easier to understand. First, it...

    ? Behringer Xenyx QX2442USB - any issues ?

    Yes, I guess the effects are more advanced on the QX version. I've got enough effects in other places, but it is nice to have those on board effects, though. I like the tap feature, so you can adjust the rate of the echo to a specific beat. I know that isn't exclusive to these mixers, though...

    ? Behringer Xenyx QX2442USB - any issues ?

    My X2442USB Xenyx came with rack mount rails, so I'd guess the QX2442USB Xenyx would, too. That would be one way to lessen the footprint. And the one knob compressor is just a little added nice feature for a little bit of compression...nothing too fancy.

    ? Behringer Xenyx QX2442USB - any issues ?

    I've got the X2442USB Xenyx mixer. I've had it for about 3 years now. I really like the 8 direct outs for recording as it works great for recording 8 individual tracks at once, like drums. There are also a multitude of patches on the back of the mixer that are really nice. I use one of the...

    Advice on Bit Depth for recording

    As far as I'm concerned, photography is similar to the audio bit. You have 5 megapixels, 10, 12, 15...(whatever we're up to now), and then you have the large format camera that takes a much larger picture than your basic consumer camera. The more depth you have in a picture, the more quality...

    How to suppress severe background hiss on magnetic tape?

    So, did you have the output of the tape machine too high and digital record volume too low? If that's what was going on, that would dramatically increase hiss for sure. Also, make sure you have the tape machine plugged into the correct kind of input (i.e. line input to record, if you are...

    I have finally finished mixing my 'album', now I'm looking for feedback!

    Just to reiterate what others have said...the vocal is a bit loud, but not all of it. Work on those consonants Ss, Ts, Ps and some of the sibilance of long Ss and Shs that can accompany close up micing of vocals. The ways suggested in earlier posts to work with those should fix this. LOL, I...

    First Mic: Too Many Mic Choices to Fit in Title. Help!

    While all mics have their place, the SM57 is your best choice for a first mic. And next, I'd maybe think about a condenser. There's just nothing that works on an acoustic guitar or vocal better than a condenser. An SM57 is great for micing a guitar amp. I'd get more than one, if you can. I...

    keyboard or vst?

    I purchased the original version Philharmonik1, IK Multimedia | Miroslav Philharmonik when it first came out. I think I paid around $200 for it. It works fine, for me...never glitches. And yes, you have to spread the sounds out some. As far as orchestra sounds, it's pretty good, if you ask...

    Clarify the term "Drum Overheads"

    Yeah, to the OP of this thread, I'd say 4 mics for the drums is going to be weak, but not unheard of. Like someone already said, one for the bass drum, one for snare and two set up in a stereo pattern for overheads. Frankly, it's pretty difficult to just pick up cymbals with overheads. While...

    Can this issue be caused by something in MIDI?

    I was re-reading some of the posts in this thread and when I got to the end, I didn't realize it's been so long since this issue was found and resolved. Yes, I do say resolved, because I've not had any issues what so ever with anything, since cleaning off those contact bars. I keep telling...

    Have you come across bands online you thought were great, but had no following?

    I pretty much agree with where you're going on this. There are a lot of good bands out there. Some of them could even be considered great, and nobody knows about them. Sometimes it's just luck, one way or the other. Other times, it's one member of the band has his own following or groupies...

    New Computer Build Not Working

    One more post and I'm going to let this thread die away. Your original problem is fixed. But, yes, I do think you've been lucky, or maybe I've been unlucky. I've had power supplies die, hard drives crash and memory sticks develop bad spots. I've also had 3rd party cards go bad, mostly high...

    New Computer Build Not Working

    I tend to agree that you might not ever need to look at that stuff, once you are up and running, but there might be a time down the road when that stuff will come in handy. Computers don't just start working and never break. That's another thing about technology. It sometimes doesn't work. I...

    Sorry, this post confused me, but that's OK. The computer is working.

    New Computer Build Not Working

    I agree completely. Something was there in the beginning and when power was applied, it just fused something it shouldn't have. You just happened to get that particular CPU and the stress and sweat that came with it. Lucky you!

    New Computer Build Not Working

    So, maybe you didn't feed enough oats at first and the horse protested? I understand your LED system now, but while it's easier for this kind of thing, the beep code is a lot more involved than four lights. I think you might have had a beep code come in when your CPU didn't come on...if you had...

    I'm not sure I understood your last post, but I hope so. If not, disregard my attempts within this post... I'm not sure of your expertise in such things, but LEDs have a + and -. If one is coming on when you think it should be off, it might be that the polls are reversed. I'm not saying this...

    New Computer Build Not Working

    I've had things like that happen a lot, some Amazon as well as with other vendors. With how some companies do that swap from UPS to USPS once the package gets into the delivery zip code (to save shipping costs for the vendor), what you think is coming UPS ends up in your mail box. My mailbox...

    New Computer Build Not Working

    if you replaced the motherboard, are you sure you got it seated in the case correctly? Not knowing what is causing this, I'd take everything out of the case, and connect the motherboard and power supply up that way. Lay it all out on a table and connect it up outside of the case. While you...
