Hey everyone,
I just picked up this wonderful board with the firewire card and I'm using it with cubase. Its working really good, most of the time. Im having a few very light pops every now and then on the playback, I'm not too sure if it is occurring during recording. I've adjust my latency a few times and its gotten better, but it could be better still.

Ok, I just picked this guy up from L&M on the weekend and I haven't had much time to play around with it yet (2 hours) but I've noticed something that kind of bugs me. I plugged in an SM57 to record acoustic guitar with, just as a quick little test. I also plugged in a direct line from my guitars active pickup. Both lines were into pre-amp channels 1 and 2 on the 400f respectively.

Im in the market for buying a good set of studio monitors. Im just starting to build a small home studio about 10m x 10m and will be using the monitors for making primarily electronic/house/progressive music. I'd also like to use the monitors with my dj rig at home for when I mix live demos.

Hey everyone...this is a mutiple part question...

Right now I run an FW1884 with CubaseSX2 on an iMac G5. CubaseSX is what I've been using for a few years, but it seems unstable on both Mac and PC. I'm also not totally satisfied with the FW1884, and it could be my error, but it just doesn't sound very good no matter what room treatment, mic set up, pres, or instruments I use.

Dynaudio bm5 / Mackie hr824

Im having trouble deciding. I have notice that the dynaudios sound good but they seemed a little bright. the Mackie sound a little dull in the conparison to the dynaudios. So its a litte hard to decide.

Hello.

I am looking for help with a distortion problem.

I am multi-tracking using my Onyx 1620 into my iMac G5 via the Firewire card. Am using Tracktion v2 software.

To go to CD, I use the "export an audio file" option in Tracktion to export to my desktop. Then I drag the file into iTunes, then burn to CD.

...ok

so I now have the M-Audio SBx.. hooked up from DAC-1 to the mackies.

whn nothing is playin.. i hear a humming noise now thru the satellites(Mackie HR824's).

how can I eliminate this is why is it here?

I've had it with my Mackie console. The preamps are just horrible, and that's putting it mildly. Even my M-Audio DMP3 has better sounding preamps. I've been thinking about getting an Allen & Heath but I'd like to get some of your opinions before shelling out. I have a Mackie 24/8 and I'd like something similar for that. I like the portability. Anyway, what do you think?

there was a study done by some recording engineers a while back to see what mic preamp was the best all around pre (i cant find the link to save my life). they tested api's, avalons and quite a few others. during mid experiment one of the engineers brought a Mackie onyx board just for sh*ts and giggles. they tried it and were amazed.

What is the "best" mixer (not DJ style) under $200? and under $100? Of course I am only looking for opinions.
