Hi all,

I'm looking to upgrade my vocal signal path. Right now I'm working with a AT3050 going into my Omni Studio Pre, then on to a RNC then to the Delta66 Converters, into Logic.

I want to upgrade the whole path but there are too many choices out there and I'm a Libra.

My soundcard will only allow 4 inputs at once. I need six. I'm wondering if I used a Y cable to get the extra modules into the Computer? Or could I get into problems? I thought of buying a small Behringer mixer to do it. But then I figured I could save a few bucks and just use a Y cable.

I assume plugging a Insert cable(TRS) into a mono input is OK?

Here's a question for the esteemed panel, any help would be greatly appreciated.

probably will purchase next week wht do you think? RODE nt2--grace 201--rnc--Apogeepsx 100 ad/da. thanks for advive

hi there!
i'm using Samplitude on a p4-3.06 with 1gb ddr machine with RME hammerfall multiface, an AKG C414-BTL-II microphone, and a custom made mic preamp-amp (i'm not rich, i have funding from a record company :) )

I know Kurt has addressed this, and I know it was recently (within a few months) but I can't find it anywhere. So I can't 'revisit' it.

So, can you guys re-state your preferred chain of events when setting up tracks. Vocal, Guitar, Drums. etc. Or Just Vocals.

ie. signal->compression-eq-reverb
signal->gate-eq-compression-compression-reverb

I was setting up my studio for the first time last night and for some reason I wasn't getting any signal. Let me list my equipment:

Mackie 1604 VLZ Pro mixer
>MOTU 24I/O
>PC with a P4 2.4 w/a P4PE motherboard running Nuendo 1.5

I got signal into the mixer and the MOTU but no wave forms appeared on Nuendo.

I just got an RNC, and I'm not sure how to set it up. The manual explicitly says you can't use it in a balanced signal path with TRS connectors. You must "unbalance" the signal first.

My plan was to use it in the balanced insert loop on my PreSonus MP20 pre. The outs (balanced) of the MP20 then go into the inserts on my mixer in order to bypass the mixer's pres.

I am looking to split the signal coming direct from electic guitar where one signal is going straight to tape/HD and the other is going to a POD then to tape/HD. Will the standard A/B - A&B box do the job? I am concerned with signal loss.

I went to a show in New Orleans a couple of months ago. I went to record a band I admire very much (Deadboy and the Elephantmen).com I had my AKG C3000, and a video camara. Well on the way down there my mic got busted up with half of my luggage. So I just recorded the show with the camcorder's mic. Well I knew It wasn't going to be good, but I didnt know it would be this bad either.
