Hi everyone!

Righty, 1st things 1st. My gear,

MOTU pre-8 (x2, I optically link 2 giving me 16 chanells)
Yamaha hs50 monitors with sub.
Cubase SX
ART V3 Preamp
Assortment of Sontronic condensers and Shure mics for vocals, guitars drums etc. Condensers are used on vocals and overheads, dynamics on guitars/drum heads etc.

Ive been trying to troubleshoot a scratchy distorted sound that comes and goes in my signal chain. I have a strong feeling that its coming from my GT brick since Ive pretty much replaced/ruled everything else out. It makes my signal weak..(both mic and instrument in) and scratchy and then its normal for a second and then its scratchy and weak again. Its pretty frustrating as u can imagine.

i have an mbox 2 and i am trying to record vocals using a Shure sm57 mic but in order to get good enough levels i have to crank the input as close as i can to max on the mbox and even then i have to be super careful cause if i go any higher i get poor quality audio.

I'm currently running a PreSonus firebox into my hp laptop (visa) with Sonar 7, and while i am recording, I don't get any output. The signal is recording fine and during playback no audio comes out.

I am using Pro Tools TDM 6.4.9. I am having a problem that for some inexplicable reason, when I bounce a song to disk that has two guitars in it, the guitar that is panned left is almost muted when i play back the new file. Also, I find that on some other tracks, all of my panning is removed and everything stays in the center after I bounce. Any ideas?

Hi! I've been recording with Cubase since 4 years now. Since the beginning, I always have a problem when it comes to sound level and loudness of my final mixes. I can't get my mixes to sound as lound as a normal radio song without clipping. My stereo output always clip when I'm loud enough.

hey all

trying to use my mytek stereo adc as a clock source for my Cubase system. I use a digi 001 as my interface (yeah i know- but i only record one track at a time) and am running into the same hitch

Hey all, please bear with me on this:

I run sound in a small bar/venue, and everything was ghetto-rigged when I took over here. The other day I was in the ceiling running new power cables for the front of house, lights, and an RCA pair from our Yamaha MG20c's REC out to the house stereo so DJs and bands can be heard on the outdoor speakers.

Finished Thread.

Hi all,

Mixes produced in my home studio don't translate well. Always boomy and with a touch of transparent listening fatigue - IOW, it feels "good" when the song ends.
