In 2013 I bought a pair of Alesis M1 Active MkII Reference Monitors on sale for about $300. The left one has gone out (defective internal circuit), and getting it repaired during the pandemic will be crazy. I can either track down a used replacement, or start over and find an equivalent. Does...

That's true. I'm just surprised this good preamp did not indicate any clipping, nor did the sound card mixer control panel, nor Audacity. I guess I'll have to settle for my workaround for the time being. Thanks all.

I have an app (Beatwave) on my iPhone 3GS that lets me construct simple song ideas. I got it as an idea notebook. Unfortunately other users have discovered that if they pay for an add-on that lets them export the sound they have created (gotcha!), this may erase the music or simply fail to...

Honestly when I listen to the song it doesn't seem (to my ears) to have that electronic drum machine sound. I thought I was hearing a drum that was physically constructed differently. If I do replicate that percussive effect, I'll do what I can to avoid cheapness.

Thanks so much for all the relevant details. I'll check to see what's arriving in Reaper and then return here. I'm the original owner on all this gear. It took me years to put together my equipment and find a place to set up. Now that the pieces are in place, most of them have been sitting...

Test on channel 2 same results. Being a newbie, not sure how to test the tubes. Or calibrate the meter, which seems secondary but necessary. Per your comment about the abnormal gain setting, here's more detail about which knob is where. Input Gain at 3/4 of rotation, Digital Output maxed...

I haven't tried the second channel because it never dawned on me that one of channels in my rarely-used preamp might be broken. I'll try that next. Yes, phantom power has to be on or I get nada. Meter reading the output. No pad. I suppose the channel test might be a clue as to tube condition?

I'm using the first-version ART Digital MPA as a preamp to record vocals. (The mic is an Audio-Technica 4040.) When I followed instructions to set controls at a default level, I couldn't get the predicted response. The manual says: "Start by turning down the Input Gain knob and centering the...
