Hi, all! I'm a tech-challenged home voice-over guy. I have a Mackie board in the booth with me, but the phantom power for my mic actually comes from a separate Grace Design mic preamp outside. For "old school" phone patch, is there a way to connect either a corded phone directly, or via a Gentner MicroTel box, into the Mackie mixer for two way phone conversation with a client?

I bought a small (older) Yamaha MG12/4) to be the board for a small home online radio / pod cast show I was planning on doing. One of the older heavy ones without USB connection as I thought I could rig up a connection to the lap top.

Hi guys!
I'm Stefano, writing from Rome, Italy, (sorry for my bad English).
I've tried to find the solution to my questions in older posts but i couldn't find any, so i'm writing to see if anyone could eventually help me.

Hello!

I will be repatching my small studio this week. To include a following :

16 Mic inputs to the control room.
4 Aux feeds to the floor.

well i got some beats playing in general midi but obviously i want something more nasty than gm.

i have fruit loops and have also downloaded a soundfont player but how do i get them to work in Cubase le.

i would like to create beats on the Cubase drum map and hear hits from floops etc i do not want to create in fruity loops and import into Cubase if this at all possible.

How should I connect a mixer to an edirol UA-1A device to record into the computer? What should I use as monitors (receiver and speakers?, PA?) and how do I hook that up to the output of the UA-1A? I've been trying to record with this equipment for awhile now and i think i'm not setting it up properly. Thank you so much if anyone can help. .

Okay, I dunno if this is poor ettiquette, but I have several small questions. Please feel free to reply to or comment on any questions you like.

OK, so I'm trying to set up the "studio" into something that I'll be able to use easily for a while to come, and I'm thinking seriously about investing in a patchbay setup.

As a preamble, I'm not new to patching. Back when I was a live guy I lived on a Gamble EX56, which had a very compete, altho flaky, patchbay that was indispensable with the double wide FOH rack we had.

I've gotten some new preamps, and I'm worndering how best to set things up for convenience.
I have a 24 channel snake from the studio to the control room. My console's XLR inpts are hardwired to the on board pres, and separate multipin cables feed the 2 line inputs on each channel.

I have an Alesis Studio32 board with unbalanced TRS inserts on each channel and on the main outs. Like most boards of this (low) caliber, you can't just terminate these things on a patch panel. Something has to be patched in (like a RNC) or else I get no signal. My question is, what would be the most professional way of utilizing these types of insert points?
