Learning the science of using EQ

The time for me has come to EQ my vocal & guitar tracks. In past recordings (with less powerful DAW’s), of course, I messed with EQ a (but not really knowing what I was doing). Now, I have just completed that best vocal & guitar tracks of my life (& I have SERIOUS audio tools at my disposal, like a UAD-1 with Neve settings & the Waves Diamond bundle).

audio interface preamp is very, very quiet?

ever since i purchased my mbox 2 mini i have had a problem getting decent volume from my mics through the low-z XLR input. both of the 1/4" line inputs work fine when plugged into a guitar amp. the mbox 2 mini is supposed to have a preamp on the XLR input but i have to crank the gain up to 10 to hear anything from both of my mics.

Help Hooking Up Subwoofer

I just received my subwoofer to add to my PA Setup. I want to make sure I hook it up right, as I have never done it before.

My Setup:
-Yamaha MG166cx Mixer
-Crown XLS Power Amp
-Yamaha SW118v Subwoofer
-DOD SR835 Crossover

I use Aux 1 on the board for the monitors, but I'm not sure how to hookup the sub, or the crossover. THanks in advance!

Confused about mixers! Please Help!

Ok, I'm really confused about mixers and was wondering if someone can tell me roughly what each different type of mixer does and differences between them (e.g. usb, firewire, analog etc). Some mixers only come out as one or two tracks in a DAW like logic so what the point in them?

Please Help!
