It's probably the MIDI prferences. for each midi input port you can select "Track" or "Remote" if you choose "Remote" then you can use the input for triggering clips and scenes and other automation stuff. If you select "Track" then you can use it for playing n...

you probably already know this and some of it is repetitin of what has already been said - but it helps to set it all down, if only to clarify the meanings of the terms. decibels are not an absolute unit but a ratio. a ratio x:1 is converted to decibels by the folmula 10 * log10( x ) 10dB reprsents ...

In late Nov./early Dec. they will be extending the beta circle by 1,000,000 but everybody in the circle will have to pay a miminum of $119 to continue testing.

You've obviously been here before.

They just extended the beta circle by 1000 if that's anything to go by. Must be close now.

The figure you are seeing is the calculated theoretical latency. wether this is actually usable without glitching or not depends on the available CPU power. latency is basically calculated as buffer size divided by sample rate plus overheads. So if you increase the the sample rate or decrease the bu...

so it seems there is a constant 7mS being used somewhere. theres inherent latency created by using the firewire bus. from memory i think it's something like 64 samples but i can't remember for sure... I can well beliee that because every soundcard has greater latency than can be accounted for by th...

Hi Nolus, Can you be more specific about the latency? Have been looking at a presonus interface recently to get more inputs (preferably XLR) onstage and their units look like best bang for the input buck - seeing as I can't stretch to a full on MOTU XLR 8in 8 out unit.........but if the latency is ...

What I want is a 15.4 inch screen that will fit in my laptop bag. Something like the lid off a laptop with a simple fold out stand attached. Anyone know of anything like that?

One way to decide the final contents would be via a poll on the forum. There would have to be a deadline for submisions, followed by a period of time when people could vote for their favourites. If there are a lot of submisions then more than one round of voting might be appropriate.

I'm a PC user so this might not be relevant, but check the mixer software that controls your sound card. Quite often there is a window for setting up the recording source and sometimes one of the available sources is the "Mixer Output" - if so make sure it is not enabled.

Glad to be of service! It's a great interface really when you consider the price and most of the compromises are inteligent ones. The latency thing is bugging the hell out of me (I get better performance from my firewire 410 even though the buffer on the 410 is 128 samples as opposed to 88 on the fi...

The firepod is mostly intended - and excels - as a recording device for external musical instruments and vocals. I took a live 8 track recording of a friends band the other day and it was solid as a rock - very impressive. If you need a DJ style cue mix for previewing and lining up loops etc you nee...

Presonus Firepod! In my opinion the most Hassle-Free Interface. Besides this - i d love to have a RME and getting into the Manuals.... But seriously, the Presonus even sounds surprising good - if you don t need fancy monitor-routing Stuff - perhaps try it. :D We could also swap my Firepod against y...

when i look at it early in the morning when i start work she is usually going clockwise, then when i wake up she starts going the other way. http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e383/dango23/2007b.gif Ive got it - look at the foot that sticks out. Say to yourself 'left foot left foot' and it rotates a...

Try using the ASIO4ALL driver. It might help and it's free.

ASIO4ALL can operate the Firepod with 64 sample buffers which gets the latency down to 9.6 mS - still worse than FW410 though
