    mackie 1604

    Ptron Thanx for the info,next time I record I will give it a try.

Until I got on line last month I have learned everything the hard way or out of the books...

    mackie 1604

    Is there any way to mix effects and out- board eq to incoming signals without using the channel inserts? I tried using the aux sends and returns and although I could hear the effects they did not come out on tape. After looking at the block diagram it doesnt look possible to use the aux sends...

    ADAT to computer

    I bought the adat pcr card and the computer I was using at the time had an onboard sound chip. I had to disable it to use card then disable the adat card to use the onboard chip. Finally I bought a cheap ensoniq sound card and installed it in the computer and disabled the onboard soundchip then...

    Taxi

    Thanx for the info. We are not subscribing but were just kicking the idea amongst five of us, figured (there special offer of $200) for 40.00 bucks apiece what could we lose but the 40? But you guys are probably right, might as well put the money to some gear. But then again i've been playing...

    Track Copying

    Ed went back to the manual and you are correct, probalby once again, they don't mix just copy. Thats why when I bounced the 2 drum tracks I thought there was a quality loss but what it really was was only one track showed up there not the both of them mixed. We were miking the drums and sending...

    Taxi

    Has anyone used taxi before? Are they repituable? I question the way they told me how they would submit my music if I joined. Sometimes you just can't pin a piece of music down and stick it in some category and other times it can be a cross tune. I asked if it was a cross tune would they submit...

    Making a pickguard

    Nope only machined them out of the alum and the steel, could do it though. You can also send aluminum out for hardcoating which makes it tough as hell. Can also sandblast the metals to give you that nice satin finish. 316 is hard to work with, 303 is much easier to machine.
