A few problems at the start with the USB audio again mysteriously over to the left. This week though it even more mysteriously sorts its self out over time. Maybe a USB audio foible? Who knows?.

Anyway, Enjoy!

Open mic gets and upgrade upgrade

phonic 18

As discussed previously we are getting a replacement desk, but it’s a Phonic Helix 18 channel, not merely 12. It should arrive in a couple of weeks and hopefully will alleviate all our problems with the USB desk.

Recording JUST the left?

More gremlins during open mic night.

For some reason the USB was only recording the left channel, or atleast the right channel was VERY quiet.

No idea why this is, it was playing through iTunes, into the desk via headphone out then back into the Mac with USB fine. I had ProLevel up and could see both channels perfectly. Start recording and the right channel drops to pretty much silence.

Hopefully this will all be alleviated by the imminent arrival of our new Firewire desk. Meanwhile, any ideas?

Open mic get an upgrade

phonic

Jon and I (Jon is the other member of the audio engineering team at The Fawcett) are looking at getting a nice Firewire mixer for.. well, not just the Open Mic Nights but for anything else which might come up but also just because it’s got flashy lights and LEDs. We have so far decided in this Phonic Helix 12 which should allow each audio track to go as a separate track to Garageband for remixing, fixing levels, EQ etc later. So, if anyone has any experience with such setups and useful suggestions, please speak up. Thanks.
