Hi, I've got an ISA 428 with the Digital Option. Last night I turned on the ISA and noticed the VU meter on channel 1 would not do anything at all. Normally when I power up or down, all the meters jump, same thing if I press the phantom or gain button when on mic input, but again, channel 1...

Hey, Which would you all think has the better preamps...the ISA 428 or Fireface 800?

Hi, I currently have a Tascam 1804 and an ISA 428 which are linked via ADAT. My mic is a Shure KSM 32 and most of what I record from the outside is vocals and acoustic and electric guitar in addition to a Kurzweil K-2500 that I may bring in sometimes. Otherwise I'm using mostly virtual...

Hi, I'd like to do a recording of traditional Christmas songs like The First Noel, Silent Night, etc... Do I need to get permission to record and sell a CD of songs like this from my personal web site? If so, can anyone point me in the right direction as who to ask? Thanks! Donny

Hi, I have a Macbook, Intel Core Duo, 2.0 Ghz, 1 GB RAM, 60 GB SATA 5200 RPM running OSX and Windows XP 2. I'm running Sonar 4 Studio right now on Windows and it runs really, really well, but I've got Sonar 6 Producer right now that I want to install. I'm currently recording audio to an...

Hey, This is my rig: 1. Tascam FW 1804 Firewire Interface 2. Focusrite ISA 428 Preamps (no digital out option) (this will be arriving soon and is the the source of my question) 3. JBL 4326 Monitors 4. Shure KSM 32 Mic 5. Kurzweil K-2500 6. Line 6 Pod XT Live 7. Fender 61 Strat Reissue...

Hey, I'm mixing in the box w/Sonar 4 Studio. How common is it to put an EQ on the main buss? What else is typical to put on a main buss? Right now the only thing I have is Sony WaveHammer for limiting. Thanks, Donny

Hey, I hope some of you all can give a quick listen and provide some constructive feedback. I'd sure appreciate it. http://docmusiconline.net/index.php?pg=s Thanks, Donny

Hey, I'm a new guitar player, but I've played piano for about 18 years. I have an Applause Model No AE 28 (by Ovation, made in China). I just put new strings on it Sunday and the thing will not tune now. I've got a good ear and I'm using a tuner. Some chords are in tune and some are totally...

Hi, Would there be a significant improvement in recording quality if I ran everything (mics, guitars and keyboards) through an outboard preamp like a Focusrite ISA 428 before it goes to the DAW? Right now I'm using one mic preamp amp and a few line inputs on a Tascam FW 1804 and some line...

Hi everybody, I hope this is not a silly question, but I'm not super experienced with all this and would like some input. Would I have any advantages in using a digital mixer like my current Tascam DM-24 digital mixer as my method of getting audio to and from my PC instead of something like a...

Hey, For room acoustic treatment, should the goal be to make the entire room flat, or just the area in the mixing position? Thanks! Donny

Hey, Does anyone know if there are any advantages or disadvantages to ADAT Lightpipe compared to Firewire 400/800 or USB? I have an E-mu 1202 PCI card and use the ADAT I/O on it to a Tascam DM-24 Digital Mixer. Thanks, Donny

Hey, I had posted a similar thread to this in another forum and I figured I'd put it here too. I have a Tascam DM-24 Digital Mixer and go straight from that via ADAT Lightpipe into Sonar 4. I'm not very experienced, but I think the quality is good, but again, I don't have many points of...

Hi everybody, I have one ADAT TOSlink input on my PC, and I'd like to get a REALLY nice preamp. I never track more than two things at the same time and I'm beginning to mix everything totally in Sonar 4. Could I just run my one mic, one guitar and Kurzweil K-2600 (2 dry outputs) through a...

Hello everybody, I've had a K-2000 keyboard and rack for about 7 years and ever since then, they always sound dull and it drives me crazy when I record. I run my EQ flat because I don't want to add any noise from there, but, boosting the highs does help. Anyone have similar experiences...
