MONITORS RENOWNED FOR NOT BLOWING?

[wirez]

Would you rather monitor at stupidly high levels

Mate don't make yourself look like such an ignorant mug. I've blatantly said about 4 times here that I haven't been monitoring loudly and that it was switching between my low monitoring mixes and complete loud mastered mixes that has probably been the cause.
Admittedly, sometimes I do forget to turn down my faders before playing stuff on my soft synths, but quite often, some soft synths presets are programmed a hell of a lot louder than others. If you're in a rush to lat down a nice melody you've thought of, it's not hard to forget something even as simple as turning down a fader.

I've come to the conclusion I'll probably invest into a knob a can put closer to my mouse, to simply remind me to turn my monitors down before playing stupidly loud tracks.

I reccomend this:

Cheers dude, somebody else reccomended this as well, but this really shows how it's used which is sweet

Quite expensive though isn't it? How much does it cost?

EDIT: My Interface is TRS 1/4" jack Output only... I don't think the level pilot will work with it will it?

EDIT: Thinking about it, do any interfaces have XRL output? :\ How does this Level Pilot connect up homies?

[FSTZ]

yeah it cost me about $60.00 on ebay

I also had to buy cables that went from xlr to 1/4 inch bal because my interface is also 1/4 inch balanced

it's cheaper than a big knob, that's for sure

Thanks dude. You say you bought cables that went from xlr to 1/4" balanced, is that male or female XLR do you know?

How long is the level pilot cable?

[FSTZ]

haha

great question because I bought the wrong kind the first time actually

check your setup first...

I have an amp powering my monitors (yeah, they are that old) so my needs are a little different

but you wanna go sound card ---> volume control ---> monitors

So really I'm going to need

Monitor output - XLR to XLR x2
Level Pilot -
Level Pilot to Interface - XLR to 1/4" x 2

Sounds expensive man... May as well just get 1 set of longer cables so I can move my interface closer to my hand lol

[FSTZ]

haha

yeah I don't have a physical volume control in my setup other than my level pilot

anyway...

you should use it as the last stage before your monitors
