What's your opinion on Carvin mixers?

Hello all

Perhaps people in the US are more familiar with this brand.
What's your opinion on Carvin mixers? In particular the C 3240 Concert series.
It's a 32 ch, 4 group, direct outs, 6 aux, phantom power, pretty much everything I need, except phase switch.

Any thought on construction,sonic qualities?
Would you use it for recording?

Thanks

Live event with Mackie Onyx 1640i, 10+ channels

There's a music event next week that I have to record, and I was hoping to get some advice. There will be about 10-12 channels (3 vocals, guitarist, percussion, and a few other instruments), and we are using a Mackie Onyx 1640i which has a Firewire interface. I have a Dell Precision 6600 PC laptop (8 GB, Quad Core i7, approx 150GB free space), and I'll be using Mixcraft 6 as my DAW.

Recording Hand Bells

I have a Roland Tri-Capture interface and Sonar X1 LE software. I have a Shure Beta 57a dynamic mic, an MXL 4000 large diaphragm condenser and an MXL 603s small diaphragm condenser. The 4000 is selectable between cardioid, omni and figure 8 pattern. Low budget, but it has gotten me started. The Tricapture has only one XLR input so stereo Micing is out (I think).

How to record a keyboard to Garageband using PreSonus Audiobox VLS22?

Hello,
I need to record my keyboard sound into garage band. It is a Yamaha Portable Grand DGX-505. It has a micro usb port, a 1/4" output jack. I tried to get a mono 1/4"- split 1/4" audio cable. The cable was a "grounding cable". It didn't work. What do I need and how do I set it up in GB? I would like the sound to be the sound that I am hearing in my headphone. Is this possible?

good multi-channel A/D converters?

Folks-

I have been using the converters that come standard with my HD24 (I typically run 44.1k, using an external clock) for some time. No real complaints, but I am thinking of upgrading my converters.

I am looking for a single space unit (yes, this is a remote rig) that will do 16 or even 24 ch AD. Eight channels won't do it, as I typically run between 8 and 16 channels.

Waveforms are not right when I have recorded

Hello,

Hope you can help me out. I record in Logic (using a MOTU Ultralite audio interface), but looking at the waveforms, I record too loud. It's driving me nuts.

In Logic I have the volume way below 0dB when I record guitar/bass/vocs. The waveforms look like big black blocks.

Is it because of Logic or the soundcard?

Please help!
