    Clipping--HELP!!

    Which would you suggest is better? A. Record using the BOSSBR1600 from line outs of the mixer (FOH). OR B. Use the BossBr1600CD as a mixer and then send the lineouts to the mixer, then out to the speakers. That way I can multitrack record at the same time.

    Clipping--HELP!!

    We've done that before...the recordings come out great, but the problem is that we can't get that loud live..The PA even at full volume isn't really putting out enough,

    Clipping--HELP!!

    I know multitrack is the way to go..but I simply don't have enough mics,cables and stands to record everyone individually. Obviously the best thing to do would be to buy cables that split so that one can go to the FOH and one can go to the recorder. But those are pricey.

    Clipping--HELP!!

    Well, I believe that is what I did. Though the inputs on my recorder are all Mic/Line Inputs, so I don't think that was the problem.

    Clipping--HELP!!

    Thanks for your help...but....What's the difference between a mic-in input and a line-level input? I thought they were the same thing. How could I stop the A/D Converter clipping? Cause that sounds like the best reason for the distortion.

    Recording Live Show

    Yea, you have the basic idea of what I'm trying to do. The problem with taking output from the FOH to my recorder is that I get a lot of clipping..and I can't control each individual track in post-production cause I can only take a Line out of EVERYTHING that's in the FOH. Therefore using the...

    My Mixer buzzes...HELP!

    Well, it started this morning when I plugged it into my laptop to lay down some tracks. However, I've done the same thing weeks before and it was fine. I'm wondering if it does have something to do with the power cable...I used two different outlets and the same thing happens.
