Hi i was loaned out a Sennheiser ME66 Shotgun mic from my work. The mic was working fine until the mic stopped picking up audio normally. We checked the XLR and the camera and another shotgun mic and the ME66 was the problem. You can hear someone if they talk into the front of the mic but it sounds like a whisper.

I have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 and KRK Rokit 6's. I want to power them off when not in use. The monitors have a switch on back, but would be much easier to flip one switch on a power conditioner. Also the interface doesn't have a power button. Somewhere I read to safely power it off, I should first shut down the computer, then unplug.

I just purchased an M-Audio USB Fast Track and was surprised to find it relies completely on USB for its power. How can a 5volt USB port supply enough power for the Phantompower which is 48v? Should I get a powered USB hub?

Thanks for any feedback.

Looking at adding another 2-bus comp to my chain. I'm going to get them both sooner or later but just wanted to hear some opinions. Please chime in and share your experiences on either of these.

Cheers!

I had Chris run a 2 mix of an older track I had that I want to include on my solo album. The original sounded, well, for lack of a better term, "empty"... almost as if you could put your hand through "holes" in the sonics, as if there were dead spaces in the sound.

What a cool guy sharing some great info from 120volt rails, clocking, analog gear, compression, order of gear and more. Thanks Howie and Marcel!

Hi guys!

I'm a little worried about setting upsome new hardware in a tight schedule and need help...

I have a Pro 40 and mainly run over the FW to the DAW and use the monitor outs for my near-fields.
What would one use the Pro 40's eight analog line outs for ?

Hey everyone,

I am new with music production and I am having a bliss with two courses I am enrolled. Two by Berklee College Of Music, online courses.
I am learning a lot about plugins and daw. It gets me motivated to buy my gear, setup a basic home studio.

Hello I've been working with idea of finding/building a guitar MID pedal but I don't exactly know where to start. I have been currently using a DL4 as a loop pedal, but I would love to find a way to use Ableton Live as a memory bank instead of the 14s playback offered from the DL4. I would also like this controller to be foot operated/slightly heavy duty.
