Re: [LAU] Questions on New Recording Gear

Too much gain... I figured would = popping and overkill on the input levels. ??? (Perhaps distortion too?) There isn't an "Analog Volume" tab on my envy24. I have these tabs: Monitor Inputs; Monitor PCMs; Patchbay/Router; Hardware Settings; Profiles; About The app's window's title bar reads: Envy24 Control Utility 0.6.0 (M Audio Delta 1010 at 0xcc00, irq17) Okay, I've muted all of them and set to minimum levels ("96"). I haven't done a test recording/playback with that set like that but I hope it'll still work. (I don't have an "Analog Volume" tab.) I'm currently looking at using 8 independent inputs, given that's the limit available on the Delta 1010, well the limit as far as 1/4" TRS ins/outs. Though, my motherboard also has 8 audio channels, I don't know if that's factoring into any of this. I thought I was bypassing the mobo audio though. JACK's using the Delta 1010. I am running Ubuntu Studio 9.10. Not really sure if it's re-applying settings at boot. I'll see about simply not loading envy24 next at next boot and see how things respond. I know to use the "SOLO" feature for testing levels, and setting them based on the mixer's level meters. My reference to the very small wavelength-type graph in Ardour is just that I would expect that graph to be much larger. ;-) Okay. I'm going to see about a different mic placement set-up. Previous attempts with having a few-feet distance from audio source were to try to create a compromise effect between the ambient sound of the room with the direct sound of the audio source. It looks like I'm going to have to set up additional mics to pull off both, separately, and as separate tracks. I'd like to pull off a stereo recording, so when it's just me (recording 1 instrument at a time), maybe it'll work if I just use 2 mics in the room (a distance) for ambient effect and 2 mics up close to the instrument for a more personal signal straight from the source.
