Well listening to it, I cannot tell there is no signal on it. I recommend to do a test recording with a music instrument such as an acoustic guitar recording using microphones or acapella vocals then record at 24-bits/48KHz. Record with peaks mostly at -15dBFS to -6dBFS (watch the recording...

Its actually a very good and informative video. This is a very important concept in audio mastering. Loud does not always sound good if the dynamic range has been squashed. Its why , when I get tired I would pickup classical music recordings (like the Beethoven symphonies) instead of modern...

Well it depends on your needs, if you aim to record a full band live somewhere in time, I would consider investing an audio interface that can handle up to 8 simultaneous pre-amp inputs (which can be expensive). If your entire plan in building your studio is for recording vocals and guitars...

Knowing the basic is very important.And yes, recording is not a one night success. In most part; even the pro ones, it is more of a trial and error process. It is why you often heard the term "re-recording" "re-mix" "remastering", even in the commercial and professional level. If you are not...

Not sure, I have not tested it. I suggest trying to borrow some DI with ground lift from any of your studio friends if you have and see if it fix the problem. Have you tried using TRS balance cables in connecting your Saffire Pro to the line inputs?

One thing I like about Rode NT1A is that when I bought it the last time the package do already includes a pop filter, shock mount and even a free resources CD on regarding tips on using Rode NT1A. So I will not worry anymore about not having the pop filter and shock mount which can be an...

Some tips to reduce or remove hum: 1.) Make sure all of your gears are connected to the same ground loop in your AC power. So the Saffire pro 40 and mixing desk are connected to the same ground. 2.)Try not putting audio cables near any power adapters. 3.) A direct box can help reduce or solve...

OK, have you tried connecting the compressor to the mixer using its side chain input? You can also try this if it works. In this case you need a Y cable with TRS insert on one end and two mono plugs on the other end which you will connect to aux sends and return of the Xenyx 1204FX mixer. For...
