    Problem with digital connection between my soundcard and mixer

    OK, first, I'm sorry you had issues with the USB 2.0. When I first starting using one. I ended up having to shut all kinds of stuff off (including the wireless network card) in order to get it to record glitch free. Remember, USB shares bandwidth between everything connected, so if you have...

    Acoustic demo and a metronome?

    If it's to get gigs with, why don't you record them together, doing exactly what you'd do on stage? Or record your live shows as a matter of course. That would be the most accurate and honest representation of what you are selling. Back when I was gigging full time, I got the best responses...

    Corner Bass Traps Must Be 4'' Thick

    Mythbusters just showed how to make a car bulletproof with phone books. Would 4" of phone books trap bass as good as they do bullets?

    Help Recording a Live Show

    I'd mix it and send a feed or feeds out to their little PA rig. I'm guessing they're using something along the lines of a one-piece mixer/amp (like the old Peavy XR680)? Setups like I think you're describing generally don't have a sound guy. You could add value by making their live mix better...

    Where does clipping take place (for sherlocks holmses:))?

    And until I actually asked, everyone was shooting in the dark. Knowledge is great. Displaying knowledge for the sake of displaying knowledge is different from troubleshooting. The OP needed troubleshooting, not chest-thumping. A person can have all the knowledge in the world, but that doesn't...

    Where does clipping take place (for sherlocks holmses:))?

    Yeah, but I'm referring specifically to the OP's situation. For the sake of argument - fuck yeah, I'm wrong. I give, check out the big brain on Brad and all that. Now - let's get the OP to connect his Behringer to the line input on the Cakewalk unit and see if he can get his stuff working. You...

    SSS questions

    OK, just saw the pics in this thread. Years ago, I repaired tape decks for a living, and occasionally saw machines that looked like the one in that thread, as far as oxide buildup. I got out of the business several years (actually almost a couple of decades) ago. Are all of the old tapes...

    Where does clipping take place (for sherlocks holmses:))?

    I'm glad that your focus is on assisting the OP rather than self-aggrandizement. Oh, wait. Strike that. Reverse it. So, plugging a line level output into a mic input isn't an impedance mismatch? I believe you're arguing semantics more than anything. Dude, try driving a 4 ohm load with a 16 ohm...

    Where does clipping take place (for sherlocks holmses:))?

    Break out anything you want. The fact remains that the inputs and outputs he's using aren't matched to each other. Let's get the guy recording first, then if you want to prove how much you think you know about electronics, we can start another thread. :rolleyes: Ummmm....

    Where does clipping take place (for sherlocks holmses:))?

    Wrong input. The Behringer is putting out a line level signal. You need to use a line level input. You're experiencing a severe level mismatch, due to something that's sometimes known as an impedance mismatch. Try connecting the output of the Behringer to one of the RCA inputs on the Cakewalk...

    Which input are you using on the Camewalk unit?

    Where does clipping take place (for sherlocks holmses:))?

    What is the opposite of clipping? To the OP - doesn't the unit have an input pad? What is it set at?

    Where does clipping take place (for sherlocks holmses:))?

    Sounds like an impedance mismatch.

    mysterious cable...???

    Just a simple Y cable. Generally used to connect one output to two inputs.

    Intro to Pro Tools?

    Yeah, I hear that the ones are oneier and the zeros are zeroier! :laughings: Eventually I'm going to want to make a hardware change, and I'd hate to spend the money on Digi-compliant stuff and find that it's a downgrade all the way around. Thanks!!! I appreciate it.

    Starving Artists Gettin Robbed All Day

    We had a ticket sales gig like that last month. I think the band ended up grossing about 50 bucks, and put about ten times that in the promotor's pocket. We were one short on online sales to double our split. That's not gonna happen again anytime soon, if ever. I have, however been putting...

    Rme hdsp 9652

    Haven't used one, but from the research I've done, it looks like you need converts that output ADAT to do any useful multitracking.

    Intro to Pro Tools?

    Not necessarily, but... Way, way, way back when I did some work at a studio when Pro Tools was pretty much brand-spankin' new. We set up four Mac Quadras with a few racks of Digi boards, and a very, very, very early Pro Tools System. I want to say that was back in '92 or '93. Since then I...
