Help: Yamaha mixing console and GB

I normally use audio interfaces such as apogee's duet so that I don't have to manually control anything and can get straight to recording vocals adjusting gb's presets as i go along to find a sound i like. Well my apogee had a manufacturers melt down and is off for repairs so i'm left replacing it with a yamaha mg102c mixing console i've never used before. Having never actually set up a mixer to work on my macbook I toyed around with it and set it up problem is I have to control the highs mids and lows from the mixer which powers my mic and the sound i'm getting is less than desirable..very flat and lifeless even when the artist is recording vocals with a great deal of emotion being put forth. So i really need your help in maintaining my sanity.
I'm using the headphone line out to the input on the mixer and the line in to bridge the mixer back into the macbook. should i be recording vocals on stereo 1/2 (line input) with monitor on? The 2tr on the mixer is pressed to monitor because i'm getting troubling sounds when its set to stereo. also should i be or should i not be using the compressor on the mixer?
Any help would help, or if you have the mixer sharing your set up would be great.

I'm using the headphone line out to the input on the mixer and the line in to bridge the mixer back into the macbook.
Why are you sending the Mac's sound back to the mixer?
should i be recording vocals on stereo 1/2 (line input) with monitor on?
Since a mic is generally a mono source, you should record mono (unless you added some fancy stereo effect at the mixing console already).

  • Connecting mac to mixing console

    ok first let's just say im a little over my head here lol. but i asked how to hook mic to my mac. question answered about impedence problems so answer is to use usb, firewire, or mixing console and it just so happens i have a beringer 32x8 mixing console however when i place the cable to the line in on my mac and the male connector in any channel on my board i get nothing, nunca, nada. when i place the same cable in the headphone jack on my mac i can hear everything i have recorded but can't get any levels to record. I figured I needed to change audio in and out to line in and out however i went to system preferences and my pull down tab says built in audio and no other choices. someone help please and save me from my own recording self destruction

    The audio input (which is line not mic level and so is suitable for what you want) is a 3.5mm stereo jack. It's possible to wire these up, but it's a fiddly process and there are plenty of adaptor leads connecting photo (RCA jack) connectors to stereo 3.5mm which will save you a lot of time.
    If you really want to wire it up it's left to tip, right to ring and earth to sleeve.

  • I need help setting up a mackie onyx 1620 mixing console

    I have just purchased a new iMac, and need to get the firewire working in Logic Pro 9. I have a Mackie Onyx 1620 Mixing console
    Any help

    I almost fixed the problem I was having before by adding the proper domain to the search option in system preferences -> network. However I still have an issue.
    I cannot get open directory/kerberos to work and as a result I cannot set up xgrid.
    Could this be related to the fact that the ip of the system is attached to an external hostname (which is causing the hostname that might needed by local services to be overridden). I cannot change the fact that the external hostname is going to point to the system, but I was thinking that a possible solution would be to add a server layer above the head node of the grid to act as a router and accept this IP address / hostname override and prevent it from mucking up the hostname of the head node. Is this a viable idea and is it even necessary?
    (This external domain name is a web-accessible site that is supposed to link in to a web service that will be provided by at least one of the servers on this grid setup, I'm not sure on the settings for that (it seems to work currently), but I'll worry about that when we get the rest of the system running.

  • DESPERATE HELP PLS: WinXP, SP3: Creative Console and other elements crashing

    LDESPERATE HELP PLS: WinXP, SP3: Creative Console and other elements crashingRHi all. Hoping someone out there can help; I've been going around in circles for far too long on this.
    Exec summary:
    WinXP, SP3, Audio finally is working, Creative Console launches but crashes consistently. Diagnostics fails, on-screen could not install.
    System:
    WinXP, SP3
    Story
    I had an original X-Fi card that came with my Dell XPS70 3 years ago. Working perfectly, until I upgraded to WinXP, SP3 (from SP2).
    BAM - lots of BSODs, always in ha20x2k.sys. Many times, all networking would just stop, and the BSOD would happen when shutting down the computer. Networking would fail 00% everytime I watched any kind of video (news, youtube, whatever).
    Couldn't find more current drivers, bought X-Fi ExtremeGamer card from Frys. Could not get this to install off the package CD, new card was not recognized by Windows. Install would always hang on "On-Screen display" (I have a dual monitor system - should that matter?)
    Eventually, downloaded more current drivers and console app from the Creative website and got audio working. Console will now launch but the moment I try to change something in the EQ panel, the console crashes, 00% of the time. Other Creative apps (e.g. diagnostics) fail with this error:? "The audio device supported by this application may not be present or may be operating in an unsupported mode..."
    I haven't been able to "cleansweep" my system, the link in this (Creative) forum is broken.
    REALLY hoping someone can help get this working... Have spent 2 days away from business to try to make this work properly, and am out of things to try.
    Thanks,
    Jerry

    I should add - I have NO interest in gaming, just looking for high-end audio...

  • HT4910 Mixed Contacts and iCloud - Help!

    Help! My husband and I updated our phones and now our contacts are mixed.  Not sure I'm liking this iCloud.  Can anyone help? Support talks about duplicates, but not mixing. TY!

    First, you two should have different IDs for icloud if you currently don't.  If one of you turned off icloud syncing of contacts while having the device connected to the other's icloud account, then you probably were told that this would delete the data on the device and would you like to merge the icloud contacts with those currently on the device (which may have included the other set of contacts).  If you said yes, then the two sets of contacts were merged.  If you both now have your own IDs set for icloud, then go through the contacts and delete those you don't want.  Once they are merged (mixed), there's no easy way to clean up the mess.

  • The mix console of my Sound Blaster Elite Pro don't working

  • Hi there I have a question I have bought a mixing console

    Hi there I have a question I have bought a mixing console
    From Yamaha
    It’s the MG 166cx USB
    I have connected it to my Mac book pro
    And I am getting very little sound coming back from it into the mixing board
    I have already messed around with a lot of volumes
    And it keeps coming in into the mixing board very low
    All I am using to listen to is the head set that is plugged in to the mic jack on the mixing board I think I am going to eliminate this mixing board or something because I am already getting fed up with it any comments?

    You might get better answers by posting our question on the MacBook forum as your question seems to have nothing to do with iPods.
    You might also see if the manufacturer has a support forum.
    Best of luck.

  • I am getting a warning need more space on my disk. I have checked the Console and there have been 4000 thousand messages in my system log in the last 2 days. I have emptied as many files as possible.

    Hi
    I am getting a warning on opening my mac saying I need more space as my setup disk is full.  I have emptied many files as well as my Trash.  I am planning to get an external drive for my photos, but it has been suggested that I check Console and under the system log the following message (of which they say 4000 messages have been logged in 2 days) '06/06/2014 16:08:23.341 com.apple.dynamic_pager: dynamic_pager: Need more space on the disk to enable swapping'.  This is a copy of one of the items.  It is from the system log.  I really do not think I have enough files to warrant this warning, with the exception of photos.  My storage shows 143 MB free out of 120.47. Thanks for any help.

    First off, no MacBook Air can run 10.3 or earlier.
    Secondly, are you sure you only have 143MB of storage free?  That's seriously low.  With MacBook Airs of 120 GB hard drives, or even 140 GB which is often the case when it says out of 120, you shouldn't allow your free space to go down below 20 GB.  MB is 1024 fold less than a GB.  So if you really have 143MB free on a MacBook Air, you are long past the minimum space you should be keeping it at, and need to start clearing a lot of space now*:

    I'm asking this thread be moved to the MacBook Air forum,a as we can't say for certain what you have when you post in the 10.3 or earlier forum.

  • Mixing XDCAM and HDV?? Outputting to SD DVD...

    Hi
    Earlier this year we shot a documentary on a Sony PDW-F350L HD XDCam (great camera, stunning footage - 35Mbps). Working in FCP has been fine.
    We're doing a follow up and budget and logistics dictate that we sadly can't use 350s again (where we're going, carrying 2 Z1s for example is going to be a lot easier). We're also on a fairly steep learning curve (being relatively new to FCP, Compressor etc).
    So I'm looking at options. We know that there are significant differences between say a Z1 and a 350 but from my research so far and from some relatively simple testing mixing Z1 footage (native) and 350 footage on FCP, at least editing on the timeline doesn't seem like it's going to present any problems (although thoughts on that welcome).
    The issue seems to be outputting. In the first instance we'll be outputting to SD DVD. Yes, that old gem...
    Searching round various forums, it seems this problem (HDV - SD) is fairly universal. Solutions seem to range from not working in Native HDV (suggestions vary on the format to ingest in - AIC etc); outputting to different formats first (eg DVCPro HD) and then to MPEG-2; outputting the timeline to tape (DV), re-importing; using some thing like a Matrox MXO to output and others...
    We're aware of the shortcoming of HDV and the compressed nature of the format and our expectations, given our kit are realistic. I've even tried putting some PD150 footage on the timeline but that's just not going to cut it.
    So, I've got to put a kit list together by next week and wondered if anyone had any thoughts on:
    1) Mixing XDCAM and HDV on the timeline and any gotchas we should watch out for.
    but more importantly
    2) Any suggested routes I can look at to get some reasonable output with these two formats on the timeline - particularly HDV (don't think we'll have time to look at the Matrox route right now).
    Many thanks in advance for any thoughts.
    Cheers

    Thanks Andy, Michael
    That's good input. From an editing point of view we seem to be ok. Although, Michael, I take your point and that's a good suggestion.
    The main problem is the workflow to create a decent SD DVD without the artefacts caused by compression/motion etc in HDV (and to some extent XDCAM).
    Have read the prores whitepaper at
    http://images.apple.com/finalcutstudio/resources/whitepapers/L342568A_ProResWP.pdf
    And looked a little more into understanding GOP structures and it seems that ProRes will help in terms of editing.
    The white paper seems to suggest that converting to ProRes, because it uses I frame–only encoding "Ensures consistent quality in every frame and no artifacts from complex motion. "
    We'll try some tests but, does anyone know if this is true?
    But it also seems that deinterlacing may solve some of the horrendous vertical edge rippling we're getting on the HDV footage when outputting to SD DVD - although if I'm honest I'm not sure how we achive that with our current setting.

  • Word 2007 mail merge : problem with mixed portrait and landscape orientations

    Hi there,
    I have a 3 pages document Word 2007 file
    This is a mail merge I want to export in PDF using Adobe Acrobat Printer,
    then send "big" PDF to printing.
    page 1 is PORTRAIT
    page 2 is PORTRAIT
    page 3 is LANDSCAPE
    In PDF pages 1 and 2 are perfectly fine, inside an A4 format (width=210 height=297mm or something)
    but for page 3, system changed to a "double" sized page (A3 width=297 height=420) and printed my stuff at the 1st top middle of big page.
    So I have a big "double" sheet, oriented PORTRAIT, with my stuff in 1st half, and a blank in 2nd half.
    It seems that system did not rotate the page... and just put the stuff into a bigger sheet to "solve" at best.
    I would like the same size of paper (A4) but in landscape : width=297 height=210
    I have already seen many PDF with mixed portrait and landscape orientations, so what's the thing ?
    With my advanced thanks,
    And greetings from Paris, France !

    Some questions:
    Which version of office were you using before? 2003?
    Are the data files on a network, or on your local machine? If they are on a network, can you make a copy of one of them on your local machine and try again?
    Can you open the files directly in Excel? What extension do they have (.xls, or something else?) I am wondering whether access to other file types has been left blocked on your machine but is allowed on your colleague's machine.
    Are you just opening the mail merge main document and seeing this message? If so, do you see the same thing if you start with a new document and try to connect to one of these data sources?
    Can you confirm that the message is about Access even though you are trying to connect to an Excel file?
    (Also, office 2007 has some new stuff - that let's you specify that certain folders are "trusted" . I don't think that ever affected MailMerge but it may be as well to make sure that your documents and data sources are in trusted locations).
    Also worth trying to start Word in "Safe mode" - see, e.g. http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/word-help/work-with-office-safe-modes-HP010140792.aspx

  • SBS 2008 - SBS Console and AD errors after migration to new hardware

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to work out how to fix some of the errors and random behaviour I'm experiencing with the SBS 2008 console and AD related matters since I had to quickly migrate SBS 2008 to new hardware using Windows Server Backup after a failure of the old server.
    In my haste to get our email and ftp services back up and running (which use Smartermail and Filezilla respectively instead of Exchange etc) I overlooked the fact that the new server had 3 NICs installed and not one and so restored SBS 2008 and loaded up new
    drivers for those and other hardware that had changed (such as the graphics card and mobo. I have since removed the two additional NICs by disabling them on the mobo).
    Whilst I got the server up and running again with email and ftp services, even though I currently don't use any AD related stuff directly I have since noted that if I try to say view a list of users that I had previously created via the SBS console, more often
    than not it will show no users, and then randomly it will (but when you do see them you can't edit or delete them. I'm aware that I have probably broken a number of golden rules in doing this 'migration' but having a metaphorical gun to my head meant that
    I rushed things out of desperation. 
    Common errors that I experience generally will say things like 'Current security connect is not associated with an Active Directory domain or forest' if I try to list users, or DC not found for domain "xyz.local' etc. I have been searching the net and
    trying out some things to fix this but I'm like a dog chasing its tail as I'm not so clued up on server related issues as I am with workstation problems, so if anyone could at least point me in the right direction I would be very grateful. If you require any
    info from me (eg diag logs etc) I will be happy to provide them!
    Regards,
    Dave

    Hi Dave,
    Based on current situation, please run SBS BPA and fix all that it can find, then monitor the result. For more details, please refer to the following KB.
    Windows SBS Best Practices Analyzer (BPA)
    Meanwhile, please refer to the following article and repair SBS console.
    Repair the Windows SBS 2008 Console
    By the way, I noticed that you had got some error messages (such as: “DC not found for domain” and so on). Would you please let me know complete error messages? In addition, when you migrate SBS 2008 to the new hardware, had you done any preparation for
    that Source Server? For more details, please refer to the following article.
    Migrate Windows Small Business Server 2008 to New Hardware
    If any update, please feel free to let me know.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,

  • SAP Management Console and Services

    Good morning everyone,
    I am trying to understand more about the services used by the SAP System, the order in which they are / need to be started.
    First I have a precise question regarding what appears to be, to me, as a discrepancy between the SAP Management Console and The Services Console.
    At the moment I have a Server with the SAP System stopped. It shows the correct information in the SAP Management Console but when I look at the Services Console the following services show as started:
    SAPOsCol, SAPPRD_00 & SAPPRD_01
    SAPCCMSR.01 & SAPCCMSR.11 are set to manual
    Has anyone got an explanation on why different info are displayed in both console?
    Also, is there a way of checking if the SAP Services are running without going through any interface (Management Console)?
    Finally,
    In the Services Console the SAPOsCol, SAPPRD_00 & SAPPRD_01 services are set to automatic but when we restart the Server the services do not restart automatically even so they show as starter. Can anyone give me direction on what I need to check or change for these to start properly?
    Thank you
    Corinne

    Corinne,
    The Services SAPOsCol, SAPPRD_00 & SAPPRD_01 started doesnot mean that SAP is up. So even if you stop SAP through MMC it will show these services as started. These Services denote whether the Instance PRD_00 and PRD_01 are enabled in MMC. So if you stop these services, you wont be able to start SAP through MMC.
    SAPCCMSR.01 & SAPCCMSR.11 are set to manual --  These are optional CCMS Agents , so they are set to manual. If you need them you can change them to Automatic
    SAPOsCol, SAPPRD_00 & SAPPRD_01 are set to automatic. This should mean that they get strated with the start of OS during a reboot. If they are not getting started there is some issue.
    Hope this helps!
    Reward points if useful!!!
    Cheers!

  • Service Manager Portal not displaying VM console and related details

    Hi All,
    We have deployed private cloud with system center products using Cloud Services Process Pack and we have deployed Service Manger portal for VM provisioning in Cloud
    The Service Manger portal does not display VM console and VM details
    I have following queries
    How to take remote console of VM deployed by end user through service manager portal
    How will user come to know quota limit utilized in cloud under his account
    The VM are deployed through SCSM portal are in shutdown state how to auto start the VM after provisioning
    Please help since we are not able to find any solution for the above
    Appreciate if any workaround is available for the same
    Thanks
    Manzoor Ahmed

    The component of System Center that is capable to give console access to your VMs, is App Controller.
    Once the user are logged in here, they should see their quota, limits and resources available.
    Yes, the VMs are powered off by default when using the CSPP. You can edit the runbooks and add a task that will start them after provisioning.
    For your information:
    Many things has changed since the release of Cloud Service Process Pack. A new set of tools are provided with Windows Azure Pack to have a streamlined Infrastructure as a Service offering within the enterprise. Windows Azure Pack will leverage VMM (in the
    same way as SCSM does) but in conjunction with SPF (component within Orchestrator) to give you a framework that is identical to Windows Azure (Microsoft's own cloud) running on-premise.
