GnarlyCharlie4u posted:I'm confused, is the sub not just a mirrored main output? so you can't have like... a booth and master out? What does the "Main" button do on the sub out? The sub can almost, but not quite, mirror the master. The master eq section and bluetooth audio cannot be routed to sub. The ”main” button routes the sub’s output into the main mix, instead of running parallel to main, and the mixer doesn’t have an option where sub is post-main. That way I could hear the master eq or if the mix is too hot on master which is important when streaming on PC, recording to SD or if I record direct to my camera from the headphone outputs. I don’t know that much about mixers in general (this is my second one and I don’t have any actual sound engineering expertise) but to me the implementation of sub mix feels a little limited here. It’s most likely though that I just want to use it for something that it’s not designed for.  All I really want here is a separate volume control for monitor outputs, like my previous mixer had, so I’ll have to get a separate piece of gear for the volume attenuation. It’s not that expensive but still a slight annoyance.

Why aren’t you just monitoring the master out?

I want to record/stream at ”full” volume but monitor at a different, usually lower, volume.

You mean the master volume knob affects your internal recording level ? Edit, there’s a post rec button on the master fader, that should allow you to record internally and only affect the output volume A MIRACLE fucked around with this message at 14:33 on May 31, 2020 |

I feel stupid but that’s a good kind of stupid since it prevented me from buying something I don’t really need hehedit: okay that will make the SD recording bypass the master EQ too. Not 100% what I was looking for but ehhh maybe I’ll just deal with it j.peeba fucked around with this message at 15:48 on May 31, 2020 |

Eq your individual tracks instead. The master eq has uses but leave it flat 99.9% of the time unless you need to account for room acoustics or something

Yeah that’s what I do most of the time. For live performance sort of stuff the master EQ can be a helpful tool and a nice shortcut for quickly sculpting the overall sound but I can live without it.

Is there such thing as a simple clock syncable looper in eurorack? I don’t need granular synthesis features or anything fancy I just want to be able to loop a mono synth and have it synced with the rest of my mix.

Also, what are you recording to? If it's your computer then can you just use audio out over USB and use the master outs for monitoring? Honest question. I don't know if it can do audio out or audio in over USB and the specs aren't clear on that.

He’s recording it to SD on the mixer. The model 12 is pretty sweet.

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:This is the best advice. Yeah, audio over USB should work alright since the mixer is also an audio interface. That should be good for streaming and if I want to record to a project in a DAW directly. Haven’t gotten around to plugging it in to my computer yet though. Another case is recording jams and random bleeps directly to SD on the mixer (with individual channels + master) and the post rec toggle should solve my monitoring volume issues there well enough. So I think I should have all my bases covered now, I’ll just have to verify in practice. I also use the headphone out if I want to record a jam directly to a camera’s mic in, like with the one I posted previously, but there’s no issue there since that output has a separate volume pot. Thanks for the discussion, it has been helpful. I guess I’ve been a bit stuck in some old habits that weren’t directly transferrable to this particular mixer’s feature set.

I don’t need granular synthesis features or anything fancy I just want to be able to loop a mono synth and have it synced with the rest of my mix. I see mostly clockable delays or samplers. What comes to mind for on the fly looping is Morphagene, and it's a great module, but since you said you don't want anything fancy maybe someone knows of better options. e: Mimeophon might work too with the "hold" function and is certainly less deep than Morphagene. What's cool is you can also super easily change the loop duration to another division while it keeps the whole recording in memory to come back to it later. It's great to create variations e2: thanks thread for the monitoring headphone chat. So far I've been using noise cancelling headphones to jam and I just realized how much of a mistake it was. 1 hour with proper monitoring headphones and I've been able to identify and remove most sources of noise from my rack, which was the thing bothering me the most lately. I was thinking so far it was just the noisefloor of the whole system but it wasn't. SpaceGoatFarts fucked around with this message at 23:09 on May 31, 2020 |

Ended up looking at legit studio desks, my favorite was the Output Platform. Seriously considered it, then saw it's 12-14 weeks to even ship. But there's a clone out there and the instructions/drawings are freely available, showed it to my wife, and she goes "let me design something." So she's building a corner desk at the optimal seating height with plenty of room for PC monitors to sit at eye level with synth storage under the monitors. Plus I can always add a slide out drawer for my Keystep Essentials 49 if I want.

I forget the name but they have these big circular buttons on them. There’s one with two channels and one with five

My Lovely Horse posted:At the risk of sounding glib, on the little wings. Yeah I wondered. How is it for rattling/sound isolation? It looks like a lot of metal. (I originally thought the wings were all metal too, but I see they have a particleboard top.) Genuinely curious - we're moving soon and I'll be in the market for a new desk, with a view to putting studio monitors on it.

It's quite a solid piece, actually! The frame is metal, the shelves are particle board, and it all screws and clamps together pretty tightly. The monitor shelf and speaker wings are hung into slots in the frame but there's a bit of tension on them so nothing's rattling around. The side panels might seem a bit flimsy but once you've inserted them properly they're as tight as anything, and they're also entirely optional. Caveat: I don't actually have monitor speakers (I know I should) and I can't vouch for what happens to this desk if you really do crank the bass. But for my purposes, I've had it for years and it might as well be carved from one single piece.

I asked in here about getting a Clouds module last month. I ended up going with a breadboard and a bunch of components instead. I'm playing with the simple reverse avalanche oscillator from Look Mum No Computer (https://www.lookmumnocomputer.com/projects/#/simplest-oscillator). I'm going slow and trying to wrap my head around how each component works before I get ambitious, I think my goal is to throw 6 of them in a box for a drone machine. I've gotten three going simultaneously so far and it's pretty satisfying.

My fondest recording memories were of 4 track cassette tapes. I see Renoise as very endgame, right now I'm working my way up from the least powerful tools. I'm in the middle right now with Milkytracker. I think the tool/synth/whatever is less important than what you do with it. Getting in the midset of "I need this $2,000 Novation Summit," I love that, i dig that, but I'm afraid to get too far down that slope. Sorry if I"m ranting a bit.

Poly End tracker is compatable with mod files. So you could edit on your pc, then transfer the mod over to the hardware. Great idea. It seems more open ended than something within the electron world.
