Hi all, hope everybody's well. Can anyone recommend a simple, small, lightweight interface that would accept 8-12 channels of AES audio from an external source and output to USB or Thunderbolt? It does not need to do anything else. Thanks in advance if you've got any ideas...

I mostly posted this so I dont have to see "recording audio for a wedding" on the right every time I log on to the forums. Seems this sub forum has been quiet for some time.

Hi all. What are disadvantages of recording multitrack directly to a smartphone via an audio interface like RME Babyface instead of a dedicated recorders like Sound Devices or Zoom? I understand synchronization won't be an option as phones won't generate sync code. What about other aspects? Reliability etc? Has anyone done that as a sound mixer for film?

Has anybody seen these demos of the NVidia RTX Voice AI noise reduction App? It seems to be a game changer for eliminating all types of background noise from a Microphone input. Sorry all you Mac fanatics, it currently needs an NVidia RTX video card and Windows 10 to work. It is in beta and free right now but check out these video demos.

Anyone? Is it possible to take the SSD out of my current 2012 MBP (the computer is having some problems, nothing to do with the OS or the HDD) and simply R&R the HDD in another 2012 MBP, fire it up and have it be good to go? I'd keep my current MBP as a backup. I think I can buy a pretty mint replacement 2012 MBP for cheaper than I could have my current MBP repaired. Yes, I know I can swap the drives and then do a restore from Time Machine, but since I am going to open both machines up anyway to swap my 16GB of RAM out for the 8GB in the replacement, it would be easy to swap the drives at the same time. And yes, I know that the new computer …

Are there any sound recordists here relying specifically on recording to computer only without running an external backup recorder?

My friend had an interesting gadget . http://www.mini-box.com/site/index.html This is DCDC converter for ATX. I recently renewed the sound cart and wanted a 1U recording PC, so it might be just right. 250W modes has room to install 2 SSDs, 16GRAM and i5 8600T on mini ITX. ===== if power supply for mac mini 2018 has 24pin internal connector. they makes DC Powering Mac mini 2018 probably.

Interesting item that could be the simplest way to hook up a microphone directly to the computer (Mac and Windows) http://centrance.com/products/mp/ "At home or on the road, MicPort's compact, USB-powered design offers maximum audio fidelity and minimal system configuration. Protected by a rugged chassis, MicPort's low-noise circuitry preserves high-quality audio. The onboard headphone jack delivers zero-latency monitoring via direct circuit. Mic gain and headphone volume adjustment couldn't be easier with MicPort's two conveniently located rotary controls." Regards, Jeff Wexler

Just a plug from a satisfied customer for Reaper, as a basic but pretty deep computer audio editor etc for location work. I just got a new location mac laptop, and didn't want to spend the $ for ProTools 12 for it (req. for El Cap). Reaper is $60 for the lowbudg license, works pretty much exactly the same PC vs Mac, and I was able to figure most basic things out pretty fast without a manual. Cockos improves it all the time and there is a huge community of users, forums, videos etc to help you. The "higher" functions of a DAW like PT (surround, heavy mix auto, conforms etc ) are probably possible in Reaper but I'm not likely to go there. I just needed a multitrack rep…

Hello, I'm looking for a smartphone app (for Iphone) and would like to know wich app is the best. It's mainly to record a lavalier mic (VT506Mobile). I've found that iTalk can do up to 44.1 16bit, but I don't know if there are some differences in the capability of the apps? Or if the limiting factor is the smartphone? What are you thoughts? Thanks Patrick

I am not sure about this connector. It looks like it is not very reliable to work with live audio. My power adapter seems to cut-in-and-out with the connector on my MacBook. Does anyone have any experience, or a solution?

Hi All, Did a live to "tape" sports shoot gig the other day feeding mono mix audio from MixPre-10T into a PC laptop running "V-Mix" video studio software. Just wondering if anyone else has used V-Mix and has any experience about optimizing the audio workflow. We sent an analog mono mix out of the MixPre 10T via single TA3/XLR output into a basic Roland USB interface into laptop and on into V-Mix software. The results were clean but final levels in the laptop seemed a little low for my liking. Need to get more familiar with gain staging into and inside V-Mix, I think. I was impressed with V-Mix generally for it's capabilities and features - too b…

Hi fellow MixPre 10T users, Is anyone using their MixPre 10T as an interface into Logic, in full advanced mode? Have you found a fluid workflow? I'm finding the manual lacking when it comes to using the 10T in a multitrack music recording session with a typical DAW. I'm quite used to using the Apogee Maestro control software that controls my Duet, though only 2 channels. I gather that all the control of the MixPre 10T in USB interface mode is done strictly within the MixPre 10T machine itself? As someone already suggested, hopefully Sound Devices might come up with a software control panel. Just trying to wrap my head around the signa…

I'm looking for a software that runs on a mac and offers what is called "O-Ton-Modus" or "cue mode" on Samplitude. One splits a track into several clips and when hit the space bar it plays one clip, pauses at the beginning of the next clip until one hits space again. And so on. Its just what I want for prerecorded phone conversations. I don't wanna use those cartridge-type software. Just not flexible enough. I need to rearrange the clips on the fly. Any ideas?

Hi guys! I bought a new MADI interface for my Boom Recorder rig and am getting an error. I have only used Boom Recorder with analog and ADAT devices before, so maybe you can tell me what I'm doing wrong? I am receiving a "We lost samples between the audio interface and the i/o cycle" error after 2 or 8 minutes of recording. Do you have any idea what might be causing this? Here is the configuration I am using: Boom Recorder 8.7.2, 65 Channels, 130 Files, 1 Folder RME Ufx+ via USB 3 15" Macbook Pro 2016, Osx 10.12.6, 2.6 Ghz i7, 16G Ram 1TB G Drive USB 3 Thanks for your help in advance!

Hi All, Wondering if anyone has done a music tracking session into a DAW using a Sound Devices MixPre 6/3? Thinking of retiring an Apogee Duet Firewire and wonder how the MixPres sound for music tracking. It's ability to do double duty is very attractive if the studio sound is in the Duet league or better. I've seen a video or two demo-ing recording music live-off-the-floor direct into the MixPre - more curious as to how it sounds as DAW interface as compared to others in it's price-point. Would love to hear a full layered session (clean instruments - not distorted guitar) with a wide variety of acoustic and virtual instruments and especially male and female l…

Hi, I just released Boom Recorder 8.7.0. I think many people here have been waiting to save and load preferences for different projects. I Also made it possible to have a larger ring buffer, for people who record at 384 kHz Cheers, Take Vos

I recently purchased the Mackie 1620i. I plug it into my Mac Mini and when I plug in a mic I can hear a doubling effect on any input I use. How do I stop this. I had not have this happen using my alesis mixer. It's like my audio is looping through the mixer. Also I I push the solo buttons the effect is no longer heard. What do I need to do to correct this issue?
