recording in mono?

i am recording videos of me playing acoustic songs using a webcam and windows movie maker. i'm trying to avoid using my webcam mic, and instead i'm trying to use an sm57 through my alesis multimix interface to record audio. problem: the multimix has 8 tracks. the first two tracks are treated as the ...

Re: crackling

crackling

i'm using an alesis multimix8 firewire with a brand new desktop (quadcore 2.9ghz, 4gb ram) and cakewalk sonar 8. i am getting a crackling noise on playback. i guess this noise has something to do with the buffer settings.... so i set the buffer all the way to the slowest (347.8 msec) and noticed an ...

Re: connecting firewire without restart?

sorry i wasn't clear. i don't want to just leave it on all the time because it gets really hot and i'd have to go through audio midi setup every time i wanna switch to the macbook's own audio drivers. i'd like to just be able to turn it off... and then later turn it on and have it recognized automat...

latency problem

Hey all. I'm using an Alesis Multimix 8 Firewire with a Macbook (Tiger, 2 GB RAM) and Cubase LE. I have a huge latency problem. I've tried changing the buffer size but nothing seems to improve. Any tried and true tricks (either w/ Cubase or something specific to the Mac OS X Audio Midi Setup app) th...

thanks a lot man yeah i guess i assumed that the 404's output were s/pdif just cuz it looked vaguely similar. but besides that mistake, i think i figured out how everything works (though i wouldn't bet on it). i guess unless someone has precautions about the multimix, or a better alternative, it loo...

i guess i might as well keep the ol' questions comin:

i just found out about the Alesis Multimix Firewire... and uhh they look amazing. is there any downside to them when compared to the firebox, etc. (besides lacking midi, being a bit more expensive, etc.)?

okay so i think at this point im deciding between the alesis io and the firebox. mostly because the edirol has no software, and the mbox is more expensive but is usb and has no midi. the one thing im confused about is that the Alesis has an s/pdif input and output, while the firebox uses a cable tha...

omg ok a new page to the saga i figured out that there might be problems with the driver, so i reinstalled them. this works! and there's no noise in recording, either. i then plugged in the power adapter just to make sure that that was the cause of the problem. unfortunately, it didn't work. yep, wh...

the thing that's strange is that i can still use my external HD through the non-busted ports... but the computer refuses to recognize the ozone through those same ports. i guess this suggests that the problem is probably with the ozone?? man, i have no idea. when i get back to school i guess i'll tr...

first: this setup used to work fine before. the deal with the power adapter was a problem with the laptop, not with the pod or ozone. the problem is that the plug doesn't stay plugged in unless i fiddle with it and hold in it a certain position. also, i meant then when i monitored the ozone without ...
