    Key Differences in Mixers & Recorders

    The mixer simply gives you more options. It lets you, for example, plug 16 different sources into an 8 track recorder. You can still only record 8 tracks at a time, but at least you don't have to constantly plug/unplug cables. Most recorders also do not have mic preamps in them. Usually they...

    Hard drive space for recording

    Here's a quote from their website FAQ Q: About how much continuous recording time is possible? A: One song can use a maximum of 6.4 GB of disk space. When recording onto 8 tracks simultaneously, about 2.5 hours of continuous recording time is possible. The internal hard disk has a capacity...

    Do you have active pickups or other effects in the signal chain that could be leaking current into the pedal?

    off-axis miking

    Setup as normal, facing the mic. Turn your head X number of degrees either direction. You can do this in the vertical plane as well. Try this simple experiment. Record a track of the singer singing. While singing, have him/her rotate his/her head slowly side to side or up and down...

    TWO hard drives - splitting the load

    I haven't heard about the slower device slowing down the whole channel, although I woudn't deny it if I saw some benchmark results. I haven't heard of UDMA 133 CDrom drives either. I know mine certainly aren't. My motherboard (ASUS A7V-133) has 4 IDE channels. The 2 standard channels are...

    Humm and Buzz

    The headphone thing could be your problem. After you fix the headphone problem, start at the furthest point from the computer (whatever is plugged into your mixer), and unplug one thing at a time (I mean audio cables). When the hum disappears, you've found your problem. From there, you can...

    Humm and Buzz

    Yes, but you have to find out where it's coming from first. Let's see a description if your signal path. Also, what is plugged in where (AC power). There's as many fixes for hum as there are causes. It can be as simple as a patch cord replacement, or a hard as rewiring a house.

    Is this normal: Signal delay thru mixer?

    I think we need to put together a guide on how to connect a 2 channel soundcard to these budget boards. Maybe some 8x10 color glossy photos, with circles and arrows and a paragraph explaning what each one is....

    can one work ALONE in a newly built personal studio? please read...

    I agree with TexRoadkill. I recently set up a semi-pro studio with this in mind. We put the recording gear (Tascams, Mixer, ProTools setup, preamps, etc...) on a moveable cart. It's not easy to move on the carpet, but it moves. The hardest part is getting the right sound. If you are...

    Output from Audiophile (left and right) to tape inputs on mixer (white fader on right). Input to Audiophile (left and right) to Aux Send(s) on mixer. Headphones (or monitors) to either headphone output or main output. This is what you will listen to while recording. The reason for using...

    Anteres Mic Modeler

    Another vote for 'Don't waste your money fool' Still no comparisons yet though.... Maybe the people who own the real deal wouldn't be caught dead with mic modeling software.

    Anteres Mic Modeler

    No, absolutely not. However, most people don't know that their favorite artists can't play and/or sing in perfect tune all the time either (read: autotune). I would certainly rather have the real thing, as would all of us I suppose. I'm just looking for someone who has done a side by side...

    Anteres Mic Modeler

    Has anyone heard the Antares Microphone Modeler in action? If so did you A/B it with the real thing(s)? I've downloaded the 10 day demo, but I don't have the real thing to compare it to. http://www.antarestech.com/products/amm.html Are we talking POD quality modeling, or is it actually...

    Classical Guitar Definitions

    Here's a link that might be helpful. http://www.12fret.com/fret/fv4n7.htm From the picture, there doesn't seem to be any kind of intonation adjustment though, so you're a little limited as to what size strings you can use without having intonation problems. As with all things audio, try...

    Click Track problems argh!!

    Still no luck huh? I'm still convinced it's a routing issue with the mixer. Try this... Take the output from the soud card and plug it into 2 channels of the mixing board (for left and right). Route that to the control room (or headhpone) output. Take the tape output from the mixer and...

    Is this normal: Signal delay thru mixer?

    Balanced/unbalanced won't make a difference. What are your monitors plugged into?

    SB Platinum and Yamaha DSP24 cards

    You can but you might have to change the IRQ of one of the cards. Which operating system are you using? If it's windows 2000 or XP you'll have to do some tweaking before you can change the IRQ. Here's a link that should explain what I mean...
