Peavey S32 Mixer / MacMini recording...yuck

I have been recording from the USB output from our Peavey Sanctuary32 mixer for several years. I recently upgraded from a PPC based PowerMac to a MacMini. Now the USB is all garbled and Peavey say that their mixer is not compatible with USB 3.

If you have or can get a hold of a powered USB 2.0 hub, plug that into the computer and the mixer into the hub.
Note: This doesn't work for everyone or with all interfaces so borrow one if you don't have one. 
If it does work, whatever you do, don't upgrade the OS to Yosemite.

  • "Stereo mix" or record what you hear... Soundblaster u

    With my onboard audio there is no "stereo mix" or record what you hear option in the recording control ...So when I am listening to an audio feed I can not record it with Adobe audition (as I can with another computer)
    If I disable onboard audio and add a sound blaster 24 USB card will I have that function?Message Edited by k2koq on 0-22-200707:49 PM

    I will answer my own question:
    Just got the Blaster Li've 24 USB..
    Installation...easy
    sound ...excellent
    Does it record what it hears..YES!
    thank you soundblaster.

  • Which Mac is best for music purposes?  I want to mix music recorded from MIDI and live sound, and also want to use Sibelius to play music in.  I'm looking at MacBook Pros; any tips?  13" or 15"?

    Which Mac is best for music purposes?  I want to mix music recorded from MIDI and live sound, and also want to use Sibelius to play music in.  I'm looking at MacBook Pros; any tips?  13" or 15"?

    I would think a 15" with the i7 CPU. You can get a 13" with the i7 CPU but the 15" has a dedicated graphic chip along with the intergrated one.
    You will also need to upgrade the hard drive to a faster 7200RPM model instead of the standard 5400RPM model that comes with all MBPs. The Sibelius website recommends the 7200RPM or a SSD. You will also be better off installing 8GBs of RAM.
    Both of those upgrades can be made after you buy a MBP for much less then Apple charges for the same upgrades and you get to keep the original RAM and hard drive.

    Sorry for not replying - have been away for the past few days.
    Ok, so I go to Creative Device Control, and on the PCI/USB tab I've changed the sampling rate to 48khz.
    It was previously at 44.kHz
    The bit depth is still at 6bit
    Now the problem seems to be solved.
    The problem was only with the output from the device. And now there are no skips!!
    Excellent!
    Why has that solved it though?
    I've read on other forums (head-fi) that the audigy cards do not run at 44.kHz nati'vely so the sound has to be downsampled.
    Is that skipping an artefact of that downsampling process?
    Will having that set at 48kHz, but recording to a 44.kHz 6bit wav file theoretically reduce the quality of the recording - compared to having it set at 44.kHz and recording a wav at 44.kHz?
    On the SPDIF tab the input sample rate is shown as 44.kHz - as that's what is output by the DAC in my minidisc deck.
    But when I changed the sampling rate on the PCI/USB tab, the SPDIF output sampling rate also changed to 48kHz.
    This means if I wanted to record from the optical output, whilst also recording to the computer, and that device only supported 44.kHz - I can't do that?
    You listed some main reasons to the truth, why Creative SB cards are not very popular on serious use (DAW). I.e. need for resampling. X-Fi's in creation mode are (least said to be) the only ones not resample everything.
    There is a setting for "Bit-Accurate-Recording" (digital modes only) --> have you tried if that works on your recordings?

  • Adobe audition 3... chanel R and L get mix during recording ?

    Hi, I have the new Adobe Audition 3 intsalled.
    I don't know what's happening... When I try to record a song it won't be recorded in Stereo, I mean both tracks R and L get mixed... For example on R there's a guitar sound and L the singer's voice, so when you listen to it, R and L give two different sounds... this is no problem for Adobe Audition 2 but in the 3rd version both tracks get mixed Both R and L will record the guitar sound and the voice together ! How can I solve this problem `???
    Thanks a lot,
    PErcy

    How are you mixing down the input tracks to the master output bus?
    Did you remember to adjust the pan knob for a mono input track so it is not sent to both master output channels equally?
    A guitar is a mono input, it is up to you to decide how to place it in the output stereo field by using the pan knob. By default it will be in the exact center, equal amplitude on both the left and right channels. This could be described as "mono".
    Can you be more specific about how you setup Audition to record the two inputs?

  • Can't get Behringer Xenyx302 USB mixer playback; record works [SOLVED]

    I just installed Arch Linux and can't get my USB audio mixer to work. When using it on Windows, it acts as an external sound card, and works great! But for some reason, when I tell KDE Control Module to change the sound card to PCM2902 Audio Codec, and click OK, it just switches back to Juniper HDMI Audio. I can't get it to stay. If I click Apply, and switch Sound Device to Recording instead of Playback, the meter registers sound from my microphone! (Which is plugged into the mixer.) So the mixer is at least half-working... but it's the less important half. Any ideas?
    I have PulseAudio and pulseaudio-alsa installed. I'm not sure if KMix/KDE is using PulseAudio, though, or if it's using ALSA. Not sure how to find that out.

  • Using mixer to record to logic, No input signal

    I recently got logic pro and an alesis multimix 16 usb 2.0. I have made a few songs in logic so far using midi instruments, and have gotten pretty familiar with the interface and the controls. Today i finally set up my mixer, installed the drivers and so on and plugged it in. Logic immediately recognized it and asked something like would i like to use this mixer. I said yes, and tested the output by plugging headphones into the mixer and playing a song in logic. It worked.
    Now i plug a microphone into the mixer, create a new audio track, and attempt to record some guitar. I dont get a signal. The mixer is receiving the signal, i can hear it in my headphones plugged into the mixer. But not in logic. It works in garageband. Not in logic. I have the input and output device set as the mixer. I have been trying for a few hours now to get it to work, reading through the manuals, and pressing many buttons. I can't get it to work in logic pro 9 at all.

    This has been discussed before on this forum, it may be problem with the Alesis drivers, I don't know if it's been addressed by Alesis yet. You might run a forum search on Alesis Multimix and see what shows up.
    The only other thing I can think of is you don't have the channel strip set to the right input. Sometimes Logic does a strange thing with input numbering... try selecting different inputs while playing the guitar and see if any signal shows up.

  • Mixer compatibility/Recording le

    Email support for this question seemed out of reach.... so I'll try it here.
    I have an old Radio Shack 4 channel mono/stereo mixer that, once upon a time, I fed straight into the motherboard audio jacks and used this to record on Digital Sound Planet's Quartz Audio Master product. Life was good. But the audio hardware had some quirks... so I purchased a SoundBlaster Li've 5. card at Wal-Mart.
    It works......but.....there is a problem. For some reason..the mixer will not dri've enough audio to get the recording level meters up where they should be. The card sounds great as far as playback of anything. The Windows record slider is maxed out....and even when I max the channel slider on the mixer....the level meter will not quite reach the halfway mark As a result..when you play back the recording...the audio level is low.
    I have begun to wonder about compatibility of the mixer with the SB Li've card.
    I found the specs for the mixer on Radio SHack's web site...and it states that the OUTPUT is 0.mV at K ohm. I can't even find the sensitivity spec for the SB Li've....to know what it expects to see in. HOWEVER....that said.... Radio Shack has updated the product.....and they carry a new model of the same thing. When I look at IT'S specs....it says the output is .5V at 0K.
    At this point... I'm going to sto and see what kind of opinions might come in. I guess , what I am wondering is....do these specs seem to explain why my record level is low?
    Granted..the one I have is definitely older and the newer model seems to have changed specs aomewhat dramitically.
    Opinions?
    Bob

    If you stopped by...thanks for reading.....but I got all the proof I needed.
    I bought the new mixer with the newer output specs.....and it works like a charm. It pumps in more audio than I could ever need. The recorder's meters will go to full peak and beyond....with minimal to reasonable slider settings.
    Life is good.

  • Audio output low using stereo mix under recording HP Pavilion Dv6 Win Prof Prod# A3E82AV

    HP Pavilion Dv6 Win Prof Prod# A3E82AV  with High Def Audio Codec
    When I bought this I asked if it had "What you hear" under recording and was told it had "Stereo Mix" instead and it would do the same. I accepted that as my Gateway has this as well and it works great. However, using the same settings as for the Gateway and using either Audacity (Latest Version) or DAK7 Wav Editor it's like I can't get the recording signal high enough. Sound barely register on the wave chart with the recording level as high as I can get it both in the programs as well as under the Stereo Mix Property. Playing back what I record require the volume to be at max and the quality is very bad. Am I missing something?

    I have had the same problem ever since I bought my laptop with "beats audio". In my former PC this worked perfectly with Realtek HD Audio. Someone please help!

  • Premiere CS4 Audio Mixer sometimes records at 33kHz sample freq

    Premiere CS4 has been working fairly well for me when editing travel videos from miniDV tape camcorders, except that when I add voice over using the Audio Mixer it sometimes (10 to 15% or the time) recordes at a 33kHz sample frequency.  I have it set fro DV tape editing and 48kHzsample frewuency, but it still, at times, recordes at a 33kHz sample rate.  I use Adobe Audition to correct the sampe rate and finish the audio clip.  Soundbooth is not a convienent as Audition 1.5 for editing voice over clips - wish it was!  Do I have something set wrong, or is this a bug in Premiere Pro CS4?

    Yes, It should be recording at 48kHz, and most of the time it does,
    but all to often it records at a lower sample rate and I have to redo
    it.  Not a big problem, but most annoying.  I can't find anything
    that I do differently to cause it to happen.  In my current project I
    am up to voice over number 27 and it has happened roughly four or five times.
    Thanks, Bob

  • Satellite L875 - No Stereo Mix for recording or streaming sound

    I've seen other posts about this problem, but would like to know if there is a solution for an L875 laptop running Windows 7 64-bit version.

    Hmm maybe you should update the sound driver too
    As I said in my first posting, I could enable the stereo mix on my Satellite. But there is one difference to the P300-16N; my notebook supports Realtek sound chip, your notebook supports Conexant CX20561 sound chip
    Maybe this is the reasons why the stereo mix is not available.

  • Starter equipment under $150 (mixer) to record guitars, keybd,  vocals??

    What is a good choice of equipment to economically interface the following (probably only 1-3 input sources per track), to GarageBand?
    1 - Shure low impedance microphone (plus a low-z to hi-z transformer )
    1 - Sure high impedance microphone
    Instruments: Electric guitar, bass, and Yamaha PSR-270 keyboard with Midi (I have a Yamaha USB MIDI cable)
    I am trying to get my kids interested in music. My ulterior motive is while playing in a band in the 80's, I always lusted after an 8-track studio. I recently discovered GarageBand and I saw how affordable 8 and 12 channel Behringer mixers are. To reduce initial costs, should I start with an analog mixer and later get a USB or Firewire audio digitizer interface?
    Other interests are karaoke and I think a mixer would be useful for that as well.
    Thanks in advance for any tips or recommendations,

    With only around $150 to play with, I'd do it in the other order. Start with an audio interface, and then later build up from there. While studio hardware used to be more oriented around a mixer, these days, with digital audio workstations like Garageband including the mixer in software, the hardware is more oriented around the interface.
    I'd check out some USB interfaces in your price range (avoid the Digidesign hardware because it's geared towards ProTools). Sweetwater is a good site to research equipment:
    http://www.sweetwater.com/c695--USBAudioInterfaces
    There are also some hybrid interfaces that combine analog mixers with digital interfaces, but the ones I know of cost more than $150.

  • Mixing Garageband Recording with my video

    I want to record a choir with my Video camera and import to imovie. I want to record the audio with my mac using garageband and a nice mic to get a good sound. How can I import the audio to imovie and get the voices to sync with video?

    After editing in GB, Share your GB project in AIFF, MP3, or AAC. You can either share to iTunes (for convenience) or share to a file.
    In iMovie, open the Music Browser and navigate to your track in iTunes. If you shared to a file, open the finder, find the file, and drag it into your project and drop it on the frame where you want it to start.
    For synching, you can use a clapperboard, or some people have suggested tapping the Mic with the camera so both will register the "click".
    [This Video Tutorial|http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/imovie08.html#audioclips] may be helpful in understanding how to edit audio in iMovie. It is a video for iMovie 08, but not much has changed in 09.

  • USB Mixer Input signal too weak to record

    I have a Peavey USB mixer plugged directly into my macbook. I can play anything at any volume from the computer to the board.. IE can use itunes etc... The problem is I can't get enough signal from the board to Garage Band. I had my drummer all mic'd up and it would play through the pa but when it reached the track in GB the input level never went past about 30-40 percent. I checked the record out level on the board and even at full blast it doesn't improve. I have all the right inputs selected in GB and on the computers preferences... I'm stumped. I'd appreciate any help I can get...
    Thanks

    There seems to be issues (Discussed In Apple Support as well on other sites discussing USB 2.0 and power
    with Apples USB 2.0 putting out (capacity of 500v and 5ma ) The AC power supply is a great question as well
    check Apple Support and USB Help and OSX Help and USB , I came across the above power info
    (anf You can check via System Profiler and check USB ports
    It noted as well first plugged in may get more than 500v and 5ma and also a issue with USB 2.0 with aluminum body MacBook Pros Macbook (unibody aluminum( aluminum cased Imacs and even aluminum cased wired keyboards (this is in Apple Support and on M-Audio Forums
    (though their forums have so many threads per Mac OS System , use search or get a list
    (I have a M-Audio Radium 49 MIDI Keyboard and it had similiar data as Apple Support
    (which was all news to me!)
    Best of Luck
    Both Apple Support and M-Audio recomended a Powered USB 2.0 HUB (plug in type to AC outlet) not a Hub to expand USB ports (odd) and on Macrummors.com (could be .net)
    then Forums>Special Interests>Digital Audio.. USB 2.0 powered Hubs have come up alot (even getting Audio Interfaces to work with current Macs (and a Universal Binary Driver) when
    no Snow Leopard Driver was available and the certain company begins with a T ends with a m
    said that product was discontinued as no SNow Leopard Drivers were available and suggested alternate A/I (any more I would not (Personally I mean) not buy anything that does not have a AC-or DC adapter and rely pnly on USB 2.0 power (its odd and I had one and it worked with OSX 10.3.9 and USB 2.0 (it had no option for external power) and people got it working with a Powered USB 2.0 Hub and with SNow Leopard (I am avoiding that route for now) and will buy a A/I with a Extrenal Power supply as back up (though a Belkin USB 2.0 powered Hub depending on ports is $40.00 or less, Griffin technology makes them plus others (check OWC Other World Computing) doing sales online as macsales.com (I think) type
    in OWC and Mac they have very informative info-articles, adapters atc
    Griffintechnology.com is great resource as well (with a focus on Ipods ) www.smalldog.com
    a Mac reseller in Vermont is great also I get their weekly newsleters one on their onlinE-REal store and Tech-Tails, they helped me out once as I emailed them one odd scenario and bingo, they replied, no cost and it worked !
    Best Of Luck
    I do think it may be power from USB 2.0 ? my guess though
