What is MADI all about?

I would like to welcome CharterOak Acoustic Devices as our newest sponsor here. Its a privilege to have HIGH QUALITY companies like this supporting our community.

Since there are so many of us using the RME FireFace 800, I'm thinking it would be a great idea for us to discuss the advantages and tips on how we use TotalMix.

What are the coolest totalmix features?

How do you use it for custom monitor mixes?

I use a FF800 as the "brain" of my system.
I use two Digimax LTs as the ADAT 1 and 2 into the FF,
Unfortunately, these units only have inserts, and no true analog outputs.

I currently have:
9 actual outputs (8 analog and 9/10), and the way TotalMix is setup, they are mixed as stereo pairs, leaving 5 discrete outputs (minus some clever panning, when possible).

Hey,

I have been trying to recording my guitar with my mic on my audio card (m-aduio delta 1010lt).

But i am getting problems where my DAW is recording output of the tracks as the input + my guitar from my mic.

I have recently acquired an SM7b and find that it requires a lot of gain to get it to pick up. I am running it to an Edirol FA 101 and am getting a gross amount of hiss in my recordings with this mic. I have never experienced this with any of my other mics on the Edirol (AT 3035, AT 4050) though I don't need much gain with them. so. I am thinking I need a converter that offers cleaner gain.

Me and my band are trying to record some songs but we're having a hard time achieving good recording quality. We're a garage rock band so we're not looking for a clean perfect sound but still... We'd really like to get better results. The mai problem is that what's being recorded is NOTHING like what we hear in the room. Fuzzy, dirty guitars sound weakly distorted.

Ok. I'm out of search term ideas. Last winter we had a discussion on preamps (shock) for one reason or another. Someone mentioned a small company in the US and I remember they looked awesome. I have however forgotten the name and though I swear I bookmarked the page, I can not find it anywhere. Any ideas?

I want to start recording myself singing along with piano or playback in my own room and in good quality. I hope to learn and use cubase.

I don't have any acoustic conditions.

2 questions for you:

1. I thought to buy a new microphone, should I have a dyanamic one or condenser?

Can someone help clarify if Pat Boone did pay royalties for his covers of Aint that a shame, tutti frutti, etc. or did he get around it by change the lyrics a bit. If he did pay royalties does anyone know how much he had to pay?

Thanks
