Outputing to an external mixer

Hi, I have just upgraded to an 1820 sound card
(emulator x studio). I want to output each channel in my DAW as seperate inputs in my mackie desk. I've got the hardware part sorted and I can route out of my sequencer fine, But in Patchmix even though I have enough ASIO cahnnels the final audio gets exported just as Stereo,(I hope I've explained it right). Does anyone know to configuire the output assignment so I get 8 seperate channels?
Thanks

Have you checked those guides @ E-MU support?

Why is using an external mixer important?

Hello,
I am still a little confused on a couple of things. I know that it is best to monitor sound externally but why should you also need a mixer. Is the mixer used just for monitoring/adjusting the sound coming out of the speakers or is it for making adjustments to your project's audio in final cut pro. How is the mixer being hooked up to the computer (Mac Pro)? Is it via some sort of capture card? Please explain. I am used to using the audio interface that final cut pro has built in with its own set of mixers so I am wondering why do you need (or should use) an external mixer also.
Thanks.

Thank you for the response Silal. I guess I may still be a little confused. Is the mixer directly affecting the audio in final cut pro or is it strictly monitoring the audio in the time line. With the use of the mixer I can connect a mic..., Which I understand, but if that is the case than I will be able to directly alter the audio content by being able to add the audio from the mic, and if that is so, then I guess FCP will recognize the mixer and I will be able to directly affect the audio. Is that correct? I know I am probably making this harder than it is. I just want to know fundamentally if using an external mixer allows me to alter the audio directly or just monitor the output. And is connecting it via the standard Mac audio input all that is needed or do I need other hardware. Sorry if I have made this even more confusing.

Audio monitoring- external mixer or Mac line-out?

Is it preferable to monitor audio from FCP through an external mixer (Mackie 1202) or is it OK to simply set output to the Macpro line-out?
(I notice the Bars and tone peak at -12- which reads as -10 on my mixer.
For some reason i have always been used to setting my peak at 0 on the mixer
So I'm confused if i should forget the external mixer all together- and just turn it on for the rare occasion I import analog signal)

The main reasons for using an external analog mixer like the 1202 are:
1. if you need a level control for your monitor speakers.
2. if you have other analog sound sources that you want to mix in with your computer output
3. if you need to need two headphone outputs for a voiceover session
For most activities, you don't really need it.
However, monitoring from your headphone output, whether it goes through
a mixer or not, is not the best choice for computer audio.
The best way to monitor your computer's audio is with a Firewire audio
interface, taking digital out from FCP, and using high-quality converters
to convert it to analog. Something like this:
http://www.mackie.com/products/onyx820i/
The meter on your 1202 is for analog signals. Typically you set those
levels to be about 0dB on the Mackie's meter, which should correspond
to +4 dBu on your main analog outputs.
The meter in FCP is for digital audio. On that meter 0dB represents the
absolute maximum, with no headroom, so you'll want to keep your levels
around -12dB, more accurately -12dBFS.
Since the headphone output is not pro, it would make sense that
-12dBFS = -10dBu. In other words, your headphone jack's normal
analog output level is lower than the normal pro audio +4dBu.

Audigy 4 pro (external mixer connecti


To Whom It May Concern:

I just bought an Audigy 4 Pro sound blaster and I wanted to connect an external mixer to my card but I don?t know how to do it. Do I have to buy a special cable to do it's

Please advise as soon as possible. Thank for your time

Ps
My e-mail address is [email][email protected]][email protected][/url] or [email protected]


That really depends on what kind of connections it has. At the very least it should have some sort of analog outputs, which you should be able to connect to the line-in (perhaps with an adapter cable if necessary).
It probably isn't best to leave your e-mail address up on the forum, as it leaves you open to e-mail harvesters and spam. If you edit your post, you can remove those. There is a private message option aswell if anyone wants to contact you directly.

Recording from an external mixer in GB (line in)

Dear everyone,
Now I have succesfully managed to record into GB from my external mixer. But the problem is that it stops recording when it has recorded about 999 seconds, or something like that. Is it possible to anything about that?
Any kind of help appreciated!

PO output medium as 'External Send' for Language BG giving '#' instead of character in PDF output

Hi Experts,
When we maintain the PO output medium as ‘External Send’ for Language ‘BG’, the PO pdf is showing # instead of character.
But, if the output medium is PRINT and language is ‘BG’, the PO pdf prints correctly in BG language.I have checked the output type
NEU and find that same smartform is maintained for both the case.
Also it is working fine in the Quality as well as in development server.. issue is coiming only in PRD.
Thanks in advance!!

TV off audio output possible to external sound system?

One thing i like about ATV2 is the ability to ;isten to my itunes music.
I havnt bought one yet but wanted to know if it is possible and if so how to have the TV turned off and audio outputed to my external speakers? My current speakers are not SPDIF just anolog inputs
It would seem crazy to have to run the TV screen while I was just listening to music. My TV has HDMI inputs and looks like an optical in as well.
Any comments on best way to set this sort of thing up or do I have to have the TV on?

Yes.. If you have a separate av receiver powering your speakers (even if it passes the video signal through). if you just plug external speakers into the TV you turn them off when you turn off the TV.

Usb to external mixer

I am experimenting with using ipad2 in live performance and have found the Traxx app does what I need (mostly).
I am currently using the cam conn kit with the usb out connected to a Bose T1 mixer. This sounds WAY better than the headphone jack out.
The problem is every few songs, I lose the connection to the mixer, have to unplug the cable and plug it back in. The app just freezes when this happens but never happens in the middle of a song playing(backing tracks). Just when paused in between songs. This has happened while using Backtrax as well. Same issue.
I'm wondering if different cabling might resolve this ie: Apple 30 pin to usb A to a Usb A->usb B adapter into the mixer. IOW, not using the camera kit.
Any thoughts appreciated.

Sure this is possible, but in order to provide you with some sensible advice we need more info about your setup in general! Such as, the computer, any audio interface, what sort of external mixer, etc?
Have a nice day!

Can i make a video and use an external mixer for the sound?

can i make a video and use an external mixer for the sound with my ipod touch?

You need a special plug to use the iPod's mic in for the headphone jack. If you compare a headphone plug for a set that includes a mic and one that does not you can see that there is a difference.

Outputting currency in external format???

I am doing project for an external client. (China). I was outputting some currency values in report. I a mworking from india. Now i am getting warning that i should output currency in external format?? What does that mean???
Rakesh

Hi,
The format currency depends on the user parameters.
You can use the WRITE statament, and the system automatically will write the currency in according to the user parameters.
You can try to use the statament SET COUNTRY <COUNTRY>, set all formats (date, currency) used in a country. In this way your program should be independent from user parameters.

I'd like to do new final mixes using an external mixer with fx.

Hello,
I would like to do new final mixes on my tunes from GB. I can't seem to achieve the clarity and equalization in my final mixes like that of a song on the radio. I've been told that my music sounds like it was recorded on my hard drive, which I totally don't understand.
I've been using GB for more than 3 years and I'm learning my way around LE8. I don't understand much at all about bus paths and sends.
Is there an external mixer that doesn't cost thousands that I could get to re-do my final mixes and achieve that radio sound quality?
I use only midi/software instruments aside from voice. Mic-pre-amps, phantom power for my condenser mics and possibly midi i/o would be great features to include in this mixer I so longingly seek.
I hope all of this makes sense. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys!

I didn't know that GB had mastering capabilities. When I got the comment that my music sounds like it was "recorded on my hard drive" I thought that was the reason my final mixes have that "cloudy" sound.
Any tips on mastering using GB and LE8?
It's good to know that I don't need to purchase any additional hardware in order to get radio quality sound in my final mixes. I am more than eager to learn how to get a professional finished product.
much appreciated.

CS5 can not output MPE to external DV device

This is quite a surprise for those of us who rely on DV output.
Harm Millaard:
"An MPE card stops external monitor viewing."
"The problem is that CUDA does not currently support output
on DV devices, only full screen second displays (DVI, DisplayPort, etc)."
"...one serious limitation, those who use dual monitors for editing and
a third monitor for full screen display and color grading or that use the
fire wire connection to record DV/HDV back to tape.
Some may think tape is dead, but there are numerous people around
that still like to jeep their final cut on a master tape."
"The basic problem is how to get a DV signal back over firewire for
exporting to tape or display on an external monitor and that currently is a CUDA problem."
"It must be resolved. If not, the introduction of CS5 / MPE as a game changer
can quickly turn into a game stopper.
I think (purely personal opinion) Adobe and nVidia must correct this ASAP
Otherwise you end up with a SNAFU."

The first post about this CS5 bug was in May. It is now Augusut and still no fix?
Every time I'm about to place my order for CS5, I find out about another "gotcha' problem. I'm still on CS3 and am seriously wondering whether I should continue to move forward with Premiere.
I still use an older "DPS Velocity Quattrus" system and it still leaves Premiere in the dust. Unfortunately Harris, who bought Leitch/who bought DPS, has discontinued the product. A software developer from Itlay is attempting to breathe life into it (ivsEdits.com), but it isn't a fully operational system.
Yes, "Firrewire" output is still a Big Deal. There are many of us who use our editing systems as a business tool. Going back and disabling the Mercury Engine, then re-rendering as "software only" is a waste of my time.
Come On, Adobe & Nvidia, get this fixed!
Well...i'd guess that CS5 hold it's own against a system like yours for flexibility...though if the way that card works is in your workflow "sweet spot" then I guess you're probably best served to stay with it.
If you have a system that has the juice to even run CS5, i can't imagine that running a CUDA-augmented system for Mercury is even remotely necessary for editing DV... as far as using our systems as a business tool...I'm not sure what you're implying. Most of us who are in the production business -in general- have moved to some form of HD some time ago, most of my peers made the move during CS2...
Are you implying the rest of us aren't professionals, even as you are lobbying for aggressive support of a consumer-oriented I/O configuration? I hope not.
It's not a bug BTW...it's a configuration that a few people don't like...but when your effects render is out on the display card, that's the way the pipe is routed. Even HDSDI card manufacturers are finding that pulling those frames back off the display card negates some of the speed gains.
If you have a system that is qualified for it, I think you should download the demo and try it before you assess PPro CS5 any further. You are making lots of sweeping statements about a piece of software released almost 4 years ago running on a hardware system that was discontinued 4 years ago being better than the newest software running on up-to-date hardware without understanding what its performance is really like...even without a CUDA card.
I can shut off CUDA and rip through DVCProHD like there's no tomorrow on my 3 year old dual dual core AMD...I have to believe you'll be able to -shred- DV on even an average-ish machine by today's standards.

Satellite P200-1EE: HD-DVD issue: Unable to output video to external device

I know this subject has been brought up before but after searching the web on and off for months now I still can't find a solution that works for me.
The problem occurs when trying to use the Toshiba HD-DVD Player to play HD-DVD discs. The program starts but after reading the disc it displays the message +"Unable to output the video to an external device. Please check the external output setting after ending the application."+ and will not play the movie. I'm not sure when this problem first started happening as I went a couple of months without using the HD-DVD feature but I know my laptop was capable of playing the DVD's on both the laptop's display and through the HDMI cable when I first got it just under a year ago.
Toshiba's website mentions this problem and suggests updating the Realtek Audio drivers but I've updated several times now and there has been no change. I've also updated the HD-DVD Player software, also to no avail. The problem is the same regardless of how I try to output the video and occurs on any HD-DVD disc.
I've read that PowerDVD may be a better choice for playing HD-DVD's but I'm rather reluctant to spend the money when it might not work so unless someone can guarantee this as a solution I don't think I'll be trying it.
If anyone could suggest a solution that I haven't yet tried I'd be very grateful.

>The program starts but after reading the disc it displays the message "Unable to output the video to an external device. Please check the external output setting after ending the application." and will not play the movie.
