Ahh cheers mate!

Hey all, got a couple of quick questions to ask about Line Array systems. 1. http://www.jblpro.com/catalog/general/Product.aspx?PId=124&MId=4 This states that this line array element is 'powered' does this mean it dosen't not require an amp or that simply the speakers are powered? Or something e...

Just thought actually, i would be converting the sound from digital, to analog then back to digital therefor reducing the sound quality, skipping the mixer would keep the signal chain in digital.

Haha thats what i'm saying! Didn't know whether or not it would come with any benefits or disadvantages like the mixer effecting audio quality from the interface?

Hey all, i'm currently in the process off replacing my Motu interface with a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40. Wondering if its worth buying a small outboard mixer to go with it. Just wondering what benefits i would get with it if any? I'm planning on just using it as a more off a volume control as anything...

Hey guys, i'm in need of some urgent help for fixing my Motu 828 MKII. Here's the problem: Every-time i plug the interface into my MacBook Pro and open logic, either all the metre lights go into the red and freeze, or on the cuemix screen it comes up with some random weird text. In more detail.. Mac...

Hey guys, i'm on the prowl for a new interface and as many other i can't seem to decide on one. I've been looking at both the Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 and the Focusrite Forte, however please suggest any more that would be suited. My budget is £400 max. I run a shit ton off plugins in my D.A.W, don't...

Alright so my Motu 828 MKII has just decided to give up on me, like completely there's no fixing it. I need a new interface asap and as i get 20% on Focusrite products i'm thinking for me its between the pro 40 and the forte. I've got a rack so can easily mount the pro, i'm not sure why but i'm more...

Just seen that Koan Sound have a different layout on their Soundcloud too whats currently available, they have a background/header on their profile page and a different style on their set page. Wondered if anyone knew how this was achieved? Cheers in advance!

Would you think that running an interface through a hub would be a good idea? Surely it would slow the audio signal down?

Technically there is no such thing as firewire to USB. USB can only be as fast as USB, not firewire. So it's not going to be fast enough for some devices. There are adapters that you can buy that will convert the signal, such as this : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Firewire-1394-6-Pin-Female-to-USB-Mal...

Yeah i've got a USB hub which is also mains powered?

Hey guys, i've ran into a bit off a problem regarding the number of Firewire ports i have on my MacBook Pro, which as most off you will know is just 1. I have my Motu 828 plugged into my firewire port currently which is always going to be needed, but i need a way off connecting my Liquid Mix to my M...

Cheers for the reponses! I guess it wouldn't be great for close mic'ing a drum kit. It's always been find at recording ambient noises and field recordings however. I guess it depends on what you're recording anyhow.

I currently own a Zoom H1 Portable Recorder and wondered if that it would be adequate for recording percussion sounds, or would a mid range condenser be better suited? Is there any difference between a portable recorder and microphone in terms of quality? Not been able to find much out online about ...

Cheers for the responses guys, has anyone heard about using T-Pins to mount foam to the wall? I'm guessing that Velco tape stuff wouldn't attach to foam.

Cheers!

Yeah, disappointing really. They didn't go in depth about their processing.

For drums you can use really any sample pack as long as they sound good to you. As for what the 'Pros' use some will sample drums from other obscure tracks or make/record their own. Personally i'd stay away from Sample Pack buy Loopmasters as everybody uses them.
