Ok so we've established na maganda ang flat monitors...thanks all...next question...mejo dumb perro just need to confirm I guess...kelangan bang patay lahat ng EQ mo sa pc? yung mga standard EQ's ng sound card mo?
Let me get one thing straight... your using Alesis MM 8USB right? and your speaker monitors are connected in the Mixer?
The Chain Should me PC > USB Mixer > Monitors
You should use Alesis ASIO as your main device using your DAW Apps. Your Mixer will also serve as your Audio Interface. So no need to worry about the EQ Stuffs.
Lets bring this query of yours in the USB and Firewire Mixers Thread.
This brings me more quesitons buddy. Thanks in advance. I just realized that I've been itching to get these questions our of my system for th elongest time.
As you said, the chain should be: PC > USB Mixer > Monitors...ok. I agree with that. However, I've had some issues with that.
1. When I record, there seems to be a high pitched hum in the back of my recording. I checked different forums, and they all said that that would disappear when I mix it down. When I did, it was still there. In fact, I chacked the wave forms in Sound Forge, and they were definitely there.
2. In the forums, they said that you can record multiple tracks(actually just 2 tracks) simultaneously. I got that. So you put one track on the left, the other on the right, and you put that in your DAW's settings. It seemed pretty easy. In fact, I was able to do that. However, what I don't get is that, when I record them all, and check the individual tracks, the background music, or my bed music was recorded as well. Let's say I ptach my guitars into an existing recording. For example, the music is in track 1, my guitar is in track 2, since the mixer itself is already the audio card, when I record the guitar, the playback music in track 1 is recorded with it.
So what did I do? I simply attached the outs of my mixer to the line-ins of my external sound card. Hence, the EQ question in the other forum.
Any help, batok, or violent reactions(as much as it may hurt) from any of you would be greatly appreciated. I don't know what I'm doing wrong(if any) cause I've been trying it for the past 2 years.
In addition, while you're thinking of ways to dismember me, please take some time to listen to some of my recorded music(the link is in my signature) and comment on my recording process. Thanks.
