Hi everybody and thanks for all your help while i was a guest!
My 1800 arrived yesterday and i have a couple of questions. The first is about the gain control knobs. They seem to have a sweet spot and there is very little leeway around what constitutes a good input level. micing a vocal, say, the spot is at around 80% where 75% is too quiet and 85% is peaking. A friend came around and adjusted the gain control and stepped back and went "hmm".
Although the primary purpose for the 1800 is recording, we'd been hoping to be able to use this for extra inputs into the PA live if needed, but the gain sensitivity would make that awkward.
So my question is .. does this sound normal to those of you with the same model? or is mine weird?
And my other question is how would i go about getting input from a Yeti USB mic headphone out into the tascam? We've been doing demo recordings with the Yeti in our practice room and i'd like to be able to record the room with that mic while we record the band through the tascam. So i can have a comparison (and maybe some ambience, though i doubt the quality would be adequate.)
Any other ideas for getting a simultaneous recording from the Yeti would be cool, short of setting up another computer! Life would have been so great if the Tascam had aggregated!
Thanks
