I'd like to know what is the determining factor on the higher cost that some converters have, related to others. As far as I know, the electronics involved are pretty the same, but prizes are not!
Thanx in advance, sorry for my english (poor!)

Hello- I'm using Audiodesk on my iMac with a MOTU 828. Whenever I go from the Mixing board panel to any other panel, it always goes back to it's default setting (pan controls go back to the 12 o'clock position, and faders go back to zero). How do I stop this from happening?

Need some help please! If anyone uses a similar system:

I'm planning on using 2 Apple flatscreen displays for a Mac based Pro Tools system. The difference to the "norm" being that the computer is located in a central machine room, not in the control room.
The cable run between the displays and the computer is 32 feet.

I am recording from an AKG 1000s microphone into a dbx preamp. Also using a Kurzwel K2500.

What setting are needed on the various inputs and outputs on the back of the dbx preamp. there is achoice of dbV and dBu (-10 and =4)

in particular,

1. What is needed on the input from the Kurzweil?

Here's the gig: I am starting a mixing project for an artist here in Austin. It was tracked all at home mostly in his kitchen on a four track in the ol' Latin Playboy's tradition. Not a crappy poorly tracked demo thing, he is an amazing writer and player with several major label releases behind him This is a side/solo thing for him between his band releases.

Hi,
Can anyone out there with this unit tell me if the line in is on XLR - I suspect it is, but need to know for sure. Focusrite's web site is no help, nor has a Google search brought any luck.
Thanks in advance,
Yorik

Hi, my old NEC 17" computer monitor has developed a rather piercing hi pitched intermitent noise that is slowly driving me nuts and also annoying my dog. :p It comes and goes, almost always there at start up.

Is it time to go for the flat screen?

TIA

i've recently been researching the ins and outs of home recording as it looks like i'm taking over the role of 'engineer' for my little band in a box (read people that show up in my basement to play).

there are a lot of threads on pc hardware, which do me no good because i've been working in computer hardware for 10 years now. that part is safe.

Hi,
