problem recording with presonus firestudio project, stops...

Posted: Fri Mar 14, 2008 1:52 am

Yeah, its a weird problem, and I have only ever seen it on the FireStudio. But, it was on both units I tried. Seems to be something related to the overload LED; perhaps this LED returns to the same ground point as the first stage of the mic preamps. Thus, when you drive one channel hard enough to activate the overload LED, a current spike winds up causing a ground potential on adjacent channels. Either that, or dual opamps are being used that are undercompensated, and oscillate badly when one of their outputs clips.

I think I have one in the storeroom... now I am curious! I'll try and poke around in there this weekend.

I've played with various PreSonus FW recorders and haven't yet had this problem. However, I don't recall driving them to clipping. I'd imagine that any cheap-ass pre like this would distort like mad at this point. It's odd that there would be such dramatic crosstalk though unless they're sharing some signal path or the power supply is truly anemic, right?[/quote]

i have the firesudio project and Logic pro on my macbook pro and love it...everything is running great except when i want to toggle between Logic, and the Firecontrol(software for presonus) or use aux send/rec. I want to send audio out for fx and back but firecontrol locks up everytime i try to toggle between the two..Help! i want to throw it out the window but it sounds so gooood.
