Hi all - I am looking into a Focusrite interface and had a couple of simple questions. I like the 2i2, and the USB power, (and have tried a friend of mines and it is dead quiet) but would like a couple more inputs. Are the units with the standard wall adapter just as quiet, any issues, etc?. I...

I just upgraded to a Macbook pro (Maverick) with LogicproX - My Tascam 1800 will allow me to record fine, but I am not getting any playback through the Tascam via headphones or monitors (I have done the obvious of making sure the monitor volume is adjusted properly, mix is adjusted, etc) - any...

I am looking into the best option to convert some tapes to CD - I have, in the past, been using an older Sony Cassette player for home going into my interface, then to my DAW. This has seemed to do well, but recently my Sony unit decided to suddenly pass away... that being said, am I better off...

I am looking for another interface. I currently have the Tascam 1800, and though it does a good job, I am downsizing a bit. Which focustite is the better choice? I am looking at both the Saffire 6 and the Scarlett 18i6. Either one has all of the input capability I need, as I generally use a max...

I am looking into Tube Preamps, and I only need single channel. I sometimes record direct guitar via the recording out on a Roland Cube (going into Tascam US1800), and though the tone is very good for what I need, I want to add a touch of natural tube warmth/compression. I am sure I will use...

I have been using the 1800 for a bit now, and overall am very pleased for what I need it for. Question is this: yesterday, had been recording for a good while, and then the unit starts to give me a static type sound, that was not constant, but cycling in and out - did this both on playback and...

I am closing in on completing my home studio - I just purchased my monitors and was curious what a decent choice of signal cables to the monitors would be? I have a Tascam us1800, so the output has to be 1/4", using Yamaha HSM50 monitors (which have a 1/4' or xlr input) - I hate to ask such a...

I am now looking into monitors - I have a reasonably small room, and 95% of all that I record in there will not be bass heavy (mostly solo and duo guitar tracks) - I am looking into monitors. I am leaning very heavily towards the Yamaha HS50, and I have also checked out the KRK (5s and 6s) -...

Well, I am slowly getting used to Reaper - new question - when rendering to a WAV file, my volume is greatly reduced from what it was before - I have checked and double checked all settings in Media Player when I play it back, and volumes are at max - I also burned to a CD and compared it to a...

I have one more question - using reaper with tascam 1800 - I cannot seem to record with any other channel than my #1 channel on the 1800 - how do I set up where all channels on the 1800 are active going into reaper? Thanks

I apologize if this has been discussed, but could not find it. What is the best method to get rid of latency in reaper? I am using a Tascam US1800 - Windows 7 - I need to be able to play back one track and stay with it when recording the next. Thanks

I have posted in a couple of different places and need help. I am at a crossroads - I just purchased the M Audio Mobile-Pre with Pro Tools MP9. While I am very happy with the Pro Tools, I am less than impressed with the Mobile Pre. Question is this.. Do I stick with M Audio, due to the great...

I am just getting into more home recording, and I am giong to start at ground zero again. I am very happy with Pro Tools, and I am reasonably familiar with it but here is my question: I am not looking to rival any pro studio, I just want to get as clean as I can and as quiet as I can on what I...

So I posted in a previous post about noise I was having with M Box - I can roll the gain down on the M Box and of course the noise goes away. I have experimented reising the gain of my source, and I get a nice clean recording with no noise. My question is this: Am I correct in thinking I should...

I have set up my M Audio bundle with Pro Tools MP9 (windows 7) -- I am very pleased with the record quality for my needs, but I am having noise issues. It seems to vary somewhat with the computer functions, it is a low level sound very similar to a vacuum cleaner, only much quieter, if this...

Hello - I apologize for my lack of knowledge, but I am new to Pro Tools. I just installed MP9 (Windows 7, using M Audio interface which is required)- I cannot find any way to bring up the virtual instruments. I seem to be missing this, as well as many of the plug-ins that come with this bundle...
