    Focusrite 18i20 3rd Gen Issue

    Ok, well it looks as though I will be getting a signal booster as suggested by my very smart Home Recording Forum colleagues. Thanks for all your input and fabulous ideas folks. Kind of bugs me as I just bought a new interface and mic but from what i understand the Re 20 will in most...

    Focusrite 18i20 3rd Gen Issue

    Well said once again. It's tough for a guy such as myself. Im a voice guy with a low, booming distinct voice that'snot very technical at all. Thanks you so much, very kind of you.

    Focusrite 18i20 3rd Gen Issue

    You are right about the manufactures idea compared to reality. I don't want to be that close to the mic for a hundred reasons. I mean sometimes you want to warm up a read and you want to move in here and there to punch a word so yes you are bang on Rob.

    Focusrite 18i20 3rd Gen Issue

    Holy moly, you really know your stuff Drtechno. I've come to discover that mics needing phantom power work well with the interface i just bought, Focusrite 18i20. I have phantom hungry mics but my new mic, Electro-Voice RE20 does not require phantom and I am a bit nervous to add phantom power to...

    Focusrite 18i20 3rd Gen Issue

    H, Ha, I completely get what you are saying. I also come from the white pencil and razor blade world. I am seriously thinking about resurrecting some old gear I have that worked very well. My Windows 7 with Sonar 7 and a MAudio Delta 44 PCI and a small mixer. Beoing modern is sucking up a bunch...

    Focusrite 18i20 3rd Gen Issue

    Wow!! Thanks so much for the information TalismanRich and three great videos. As I was saying I can ride with the way things are but it just seems odd to have to fight for some decent wave forms. Im going to follow your advise and concider a small pre-amp but in the mean time see what I can do...

    Focusrite 18i20 3rd Gen Issue

    Any thoughts on how to fix or explain this. I am on my second unit that I bought direct from Focusrite recently. When go to record a voice track I get a very weak (one green bar) input level/signal on the Focusrite unit. I'm using a brand new Elecro-Voice RE20 mic and I have to crank the control...

    UR242 interface

    Hi folks, it's been a while. I have a new question pertaining to the UR242. I had/have it installed on my iMac but have now switched to a different interface. What do I have to do to use my UR242 on a different machine? I have the license or access code but it will not let me re-install it on...

    What DAW are you using?

    I use sonar 7 and Calkwalk before that. I just got Logic Pro and am wondering if I can go back to Sonar. LP seems to be clumsy and I am old and just used to Sonar.

    Song Structuring..

    It's an unfolding story with no specific destination known, the structure will reveal itself at the end; it's a journey I think.

    UR242 interface

    Good point and I just checked and it is TRS. It's all about the details. I can't wait to fire things up and see how it works. I had to surrender my M-Audio Delta 44 as the drivers just evaporated. Hoping to make friend with Steinberg UR242 interface. Thank you for all of your help and I'm sure I...

    UR242 interface

    Hi Kieth and thank you for your reply. I have that exact cable, XLR to 1/4" so I'm good that way. My Channel strip is not the Art Channel II but the "Art Channel" and by process of elimination I think I have it figured out now thanks to you. I'm going to fire things up later today and hopefully...

    UR242 interface

    Thanks for reading. Gear: Sonar 7 HS XL, Windows 7, AKG C3000B, Art Pro Channel Strip to Steinberg UR242. Hi Folks, if I plug my mic in to my Art Channel Strip, out of Channel Strip and then in to the UR242, do I plug the Channel Strip in ti the "line in" at the back? Phantom power will be...

    Best or good enough Windows environment for Sonar 7

    This my next attempt at figuring this out. The whole idea is to continue to use Sonar 7 as I would like to avoid re-learning recording software. If I do need to learn a new system then so be it but until then. Here is the set-up I am thinking to go with. Please let me know if you see trouble or...

    Best or good enough Windows environment for Sonar 7

    Thanks for all your friendly help folks: I really feel the un-judged empathy which I really do value. You all have good advice. I love my M-Audio Delta 44 but I can see that it is time to join the new century look at some gear replacement. I do have a new Steinberg interface that I bought to...

    Best or good enough Windows environment for Sonar 7

    Thank you James for putting things in to perspective. I have Sonar 7 installed on an older machine (PC) and for the most part it works great. Lately though when I go to use it I have no sound, not even with windows media player. The sound/output will come and go but its always a battle I have a...

    Best or good enough Windows environment for Sonar 7

    I'm use to, not good at but use to using Sonar 7 and I do't relish the idea of re-learning DAW software. I am doing everything I can to avoid learning something other than Sonar 7, unless I really have to. Will Sonar 7 run on my iMac? I use it now on my old windows & machine. Will Sonar 7 work...
