What are the issues with using a FireWire interface with multiple hardware inserts

admin — Tue, 11 May 2010 02:31:57 +0000

Hi guys I’ve been hearing on the grapevine that FireWire interfaces are slightly unsuitable when mixing in the box and using hardware inserts. I am running logic 9 and plan to upgrade my interface/ converters so I can run my external gear for tracking and mixing.

Using this interface to cut tracks which will probably be mixed later in a full studio ( and mastered by a pro)will I be able to get close to Apogee RME quality with this interface ? No vocals but critical guitar tracks which have a pro tube preamp signal chain etc. and to preserve the warmth etc

I’m finding myself flying over the Atlantic a lot recently, often packing my suitcase mainly with mics and rack gear. I’ve started wondering if I could get any gear that would afford me more room for clothes and presents

Logic 9 at 48khz, pros and cons?

admin — Sat, 08 May 2010 16:23:54 +0000

Hi guys, Right ive found an annoying bug with my Apogee Duet (that I suspect everyone else has even if they haven’t noticed yet unless new models fix it) At 44.1khz theres an unreasonable amount of hiss at 48khz its reduced dramatically (although I still wouldn’t call it silent) unfortunately this happens both in the headphone port and on the master outs and is picked up very easily by my Adam A7X’s. Im obviously really disappointed with this, and I didn’t envisage using 48khz on my projects, I dont believe it would improve anything and I dont really want to waste the extra CPU cycles to do everything at 48khz. But if this hiss annoys me as much as it is, I dont have much choice in reducing it (bar getting another interface) So if I switch to 48khz projects how much impact will this have on my CPU (in percentage?) Also my entire sample library (which is huge) is at 44.1khz

Here’s the deal, I’ve got an hp dv4 running windows 7 64-bit for my mobile rig and I’m wanting to upgrade my interface to get some more inputs, solid pres and converters.

Alesis IO 26 with external pre-amp

admin — Thu, 06 May 2010 21:02:43 +0000

Hey Folks! Do you know by any chance if it is possible to run an external pre-amp through the Alesis IO 26 without having the interface pre-amp affecting the sound?

No Audio playback in Cubase

admin — Thu, 06 May 2010 16:58:44 +0000

I recently purchased a Tascam US-1641, it appears to be working perfectly, it records all my tracks separately and the Audio Activity meter on the bottom is moving as if sound is playing. It records all the audio fine, but when I try to play it back no sound comes out.
