I feed the line out, not a headphone out, from the sound card into the HP4 which is a headphone amp that also has a line-level output with a volume and mute that is intended to drive powered monitors, a monitor amp or other HP4's. Actually, in my case, I feed a tape return on my mixer and use...

Do you have lights with dimmer controls? If so, try turning them all off and then check the amp for noise. My kitchen lights are on dimmers and cause problems (if on) when I record.

I only have 2 analog outs as well, so I run them into a Presonus HP4 headphone amp/monitor control which gives me independent volume controls for 4 different headphones and my monitors. There's a monitor mute switch also. It's very handy and works well. $99. Edit: headphone amp/monitor control...

I the same problem a while back while looking for 6" of shielded cable. The Radio Shacks around me don't carry parts anymore, just cell phones, etc. I eventually stumbled upon an electronics store a few blocks away where I've since been able to get a couple ICs, projet box, shielded cable...

I've been struggling with this for a while and the one constant I've found is the need to blend the dry signal in. Then it becomes a matter of the flavor of the distortion without trying to find one that sounds right and has the bottem-end. I use an Boss LS-2 with a Line6 DM-4. The DM-4 is...

Of great help would be details of the mixer and how you've set up the channels you're using. In the absence of that, however: The Mono out is probably a mono version of the Mains out (I'm guessing), so that would be independent of the aux buss. Have you tried: - checking the AUX send level on...

I've wondered some about this potential problem (which I don't bother to eliminate in my basses), but if I were to address it, I would instead leave the sturdy and robust connection of the pot casing ground wires and insulate the pots from the shielding with nylon washers. I'd use a star ground...

I'm not actually trying to do it. My instinct would also be to use an internal drive, but I'm wondering if people are actually pulling it off. So, if emphatically not USB, would Firewire (assuming best case scenario where the interface is happy with the firewire chipset) be up to the task up 24...

I'm curious, are 24 tracks at 96K or 48K too much for firewire (or USB) external drives?

Don't sweat it. The neck will be fine. It's not like you're not talking about a double bass or other string instrument that has a sound post that could fall. Think about all the Fenders whose necks have to be removed to be adjusted. You can remove all tension, remove the neck make an adjustment...

I think the Red Wing recording has a full, round bass that sounds nice and fits with the other instruments. But it's only one of a million tonal options. Could be the strings. Could be the way the player's plucking the strings - try with your thumb, then with the side of your finger, then with...

What you describe sounds right. Have you grounded the pot casings/chassises? The third lug is usually connected to the casing. They would also likely be grounded from the shielding if you had it, but since you don't, the more direct and dependable method would be preferred. My Jazz would be the...

Every time my upright's been recorded different mics and placements were used, and they all sounded good - AKG, Neumann, Royer, MXL, large and small condensers and a ribbon. There were always engineers who listened to the bass and knew their mics. The biggest problem I've had is with rooms or...

Is the remaining lug on each of the volume pots connected to ground? It should be, regardless of the wiring - master vol setup or independent vol, like you have. It's usually to the chassis of the pot which is then connected to ground. In your case, that way the output jack always sees a...

I like Seagate and would agree with that choice. While there is convenience of mobility of an external drive, the internal will be faster. I'd check Newegg.com. You can get a Seagate SATA II 1TB for $140. And a 500GB for $75. I'd use an external for backups. There, speed isn't as much of an...

I'd run the Alt 3-4 out to the soundcard's input (the MIA) so you can run the output of the MIA to the mixer and be able to hear mixes without creating a feedback loop. And as suggested above, I'd connect the monitors to the control out. You just have to make sure you don't ever send the...

Did you install a driver for the keyboard, e.g. a USB-MIDI adapter? If so, boot to safe-mode and uninstall it to see if your machine will run. If so, look for newer drivers. It could be that other drivers on the system need to be updated too, such and sound, video, network, etc. NDIS.sys is for...

I've used the Boss Dr. Sample for theater sound designs and they work very well. Rock solid, buttons always work, ie great for live use. http://www.bosscorp.co.jp/PRODUCTS/EN/SP-303/ I think you can use it to collect and edit the samples, but I've only used them for playback. Has a memory card...

With Nero you can set that gap on each track. If this is a CD you're having professionally pressed, then you should discuss it with the folks making the CD. Lo-fi workaround: If you really can't manipulate the gaps on individual tracks independently (or have access to a burner that can)...
