Looking for either or both of the above to add to the mic locker. ~d

Happy to report complete success! S/PDIF and MIDI in both directions. The Profire did require ground (DIN pin 3) connection on the MIDI OUT pigtail. Without that, no MIDI output at all. ~df

The shorting is solved. This MIDI cable has four wires and each is shielded individually. When I cut the unneeded wires, the shield made a tiny but significant connection to the conductor. The controller must have the “unused” pins connected to something allowing the short. Complete isolation...

Probably a question answered in Circuits 101, but when socket/plug terminals are identified is the drawing view from the “solder” or “pin” side? The “mirror image” question makes me wonder. My DB has the screw-type terminal and the screws are numerically identified. I’ll search through my...

Thank you for the reply. That's the pinout I used. The problem appears when the MIDI cable is plugged into the controller-- it's connected to nothing on the other end. The pinout isn't in play at this point. I think the next step is to sacrifice another factory MIDI cable. ~df

Greetings! I have the M-Audio Profire 2626 which is missing the breakout(WC, S/PDIF/MIDI) cable. These are so scarce as to be unobtainable. I'm reasonably sure that all M-Audio Firewire devices use this same cable. I located the DB-15 pinout and have the S/PDIF sorted, but MIDI is frustrating...

A simpler(and cheaper!) solution: Remove the 2480 drive, install in external drive enclosure. Then go to thegoodlibrary.com to find VSWE. This software will extract your vs audio files and convert them to WAV or AIFF, which can then be dropped into your DAW of choice. FYI, this software is PC...

I've just recorded a terrific choral ensemble in a very swimmy space-- all marble surfaces, very tall ceilings, wide and deep room. The sound is glorious, but words are nearly unintelligible--like some BBC choral recordings. Are there any plugs which will clean this up? Dan

Back in the 80s, I was on the orchestra audition circuit. Orchestras were getting stingy and arbitrary about how many prospects they would hear, so in addition to a resume, (cassette) tapes of a prescribed repertoire list were required. We were exhorted to use 'the best equipment available to...

Did you resolve this? If not look at the "rate" slider under the main window. It should be in the center, and indicate "1.0". ~d

I've emailed the seller of that USB 'upgrade' for the 2480 asking him to post a demonstration video. His response was 'it's plug and play, no video needed'. Seems to me that of it really worked, he'd be happy to provide a video, and he would sell a boatload of them. That said, I doubt this...

I concur with over/under coiling; it keeps the conductors from twisting. As for ties, a bunch of elastic hair ties with 1" dowels as toggles work swimmingly. d

Agreed, they are terrific. I have a pair. My only regret is that I didn't buy more when available. d

I am a lefty as well. My dad wanted to switch me over, but my fourth grade teacher convinced him not to. I later made my living as a (French) horn player(which fingers with left hand!) for 35 years. In high school I learned to play guitar and bass right-handed-- putting my 'smart' hand on the...

I tune the 'dropped' B to A-- in octave with the open A, then flip the tuner back to B and check harmonic. ~d

My tuners don't register the low B either. As there is a drop tuner on that string, I drop the B to A and tune in octaves with the A string. ~d

A thought: Since you do get sound in the headphones, the issue is probably not with REAPER, I wonder about the selection of output device in the Audio portion of Audio/MIDI Setup. Be sure that the output device there matches the REAPER audio device preference. Also-- I'm assuming USB connection...

No I haven't-- and the farther you get from C major, the wilder the intonation gets. The 'period' instrument folks would like it. I've played natural horn(no valves) a lot-- there are some partials which have to be manhandled into compliance, and some are nearly unusable. For an example, check...

I did a piano with organ recording in Chicago one August. We'd asked for the HVAC in the hall to be shut down as it was noisy. Well, it was a hot day, so an hour later the piano and organ no longer agreed on pitch. We scrapped ops for the day and had the HVAC restarted. Pitch returned to...
