I was using a friend's mixer to route my output signal to powered monitors as well as to a standard home stereo. My friend needed his mixer back. Is there any budget alternatives to listen route my signal to the monitors and to the stereo speakers? Somewhere around $50 USD?

Some kind of Y-cable?
Line-splitter?
Monitor management device?
Some kind of aux-box?

We have a Behringer DDX3216 that the stereo out puts seem kind of low in volume. Is there anyway to increase the output without sacrificing the quality of the sound?

the max output level is is +16 dBu according to the specs. is there some type of module that can increase this?

This may be a bit specific for what this forum is for, so I'll apologize now if I'm posting in the wrong place.

I'm running into some output issues while trying to record my band. Here's the run-down:

I'm running a PreSonus FP10 to my MacBook with OS X 5.7.blahblah.blah, and when using GarageBand everything comes in and out fine, monitoring included.

Hey there,

I'm having a problem. When I go to record vocals, (or anything for that matter) over a track, the bed track also records into the vocal track. It seems to be a software setting or something, because even when I unplug the speakers/headphones and any input, I'm still getting this problem. The output sounds are being taken as input.

hi there,

Happy Holydays
No sound. I paid for a twenty dollar optical cable hoping these connections would get me a digital audio* connect. The Tascam fw-1804 won't even read a signal coming in.
Am l doing something wrong?

I recently just purchased a UA 2192 and had a question on monitoring. I have the outputs from the UA going directly into my monitors but the problem is that there is no volume control on the 2192 and it makes it very difficult to work with when tracking or mixing.

I'm using a Behringer Mixer Xenyx 1222FX. I have to connect the Main Outputs of the mixer to the unbalanced line-in of a Dolby stereo amplifier which uses 2 RCA connectors. In order to make the correct wirings (balanced XLR -> unbalanced RCA), I have to know if the output stage of the mixer uses:
transformers,

I've just set up a little 'home studio' on a small budget and purchased the PreSonus firebox and a sontronics stc-2 condenser mic..

Everything works fine except the mic, which works on phantom power. I originally thought the mic must've been a dud, so phoned up the retailer and have swapped it for a new one. However, I'm still having the same problem.

Setup:

Windows XP Home
Cubase SX
MAudio Delta 1010
Alesis Multi-mix 8 mixer
