I have recently purchsed some new Tapco S8 monitors....which are excellent! I am running them through my G5 Mac with a Soundcraft analogue mixer.
What settings should I be going fo r on each to get the best signals etc. I understand the mixer settings, but my monitors have input sensitivity, do I put it on full or lower and have other stuff higher. There is sometimes a quiet hiss on the monitors if they are turned up too loud, this should'nt happen in a small bedroom setu, surely? Thanks for any advice! |

You should adjust your gain chain so has to be in the Ups of the pots I'd say and the monitor sensitivity lowered to a correct level. By keeping signal high above the moise floor you optimise your chances to have less of it in the end.
The hiss can have other causes like a faulty adapter for an halogen lamp or some ground loop, or the neon lamp in the bathroom near. -------------------- Our Classifeds • Nos petites annonces • Terms Of Service / Conditions d'Utilisation • Forum Rules / Règles des Forums • MacMusic.Org & SETI@Home
