    ISA 428 VU Problem

    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...

    ISA/Tascam or Fireface Question

    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...

    Acoustic Tuning Problem

    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...

    Mixer preamps vs. Outboard Preamps

    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...

    Digital Mixer vs Audio Interface

    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...

    Tascam or M-Audio

    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...

    Preamp or Interface?

    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...

    Dull K-2000 Highs

    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...
