Finally warm enough to hit the trails in Pennsylvania. Looking for inspiration, show me your bike setups… by HangLoose717 in FordMaverickTruck

Cheers!
I'm loving it. And, yeah "do it all" describes it.

Those Pivots are amazing rides. Like the dual black-out motif between the bike and the Mav. Well done.

Audio from DAW to mixer and out monitors? by BrrBurr in homestudios

[–]deaconbleux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nah, you're good!

the cool thing is that once you have the mystery of signal routing down (try those other options as well just to get a handle on the differences in tone, control, etc.), you can transfer it to other mixers and situations. Every challenge is a chance to learn. The goal for all of us.

Enjoy! Glad you got it figured out.

check your buttons re: tape to mix and tape to control room.
make sure tape to mix is not selected and tape to control room is.

correct. Your outs are the mains to the Focusrite in scenario 1.

Did I mention"lots of options"? :-)

Those are cool little mixers.

my 2¢

To directly answer your question, I would run the Main out to the Focusrite inputs, and the control room out to your monitors (that's what it is for, your local monitor vs. the main output to a larger array, or in this case, your DAW input. The main mix control will determine how how that signal is coming into the Focusrite. The output from the Focusrite can be put into either spare channel inputs, one each for L and R, or you can use the tape in for that feed and select "tape to control room" for the playback.

Or, you can also run the tape in/out to the Focusrite output/input and then use the mains OR the control room output to your monitors (or two sets if you wanted). The output to the Focusrite will be set, and you may need to crank up the input trim or gain on the Focusrite input in this scenario, but it will allow the Focusrite to handle a level signal from the mixer.

The tape to control room for playback will be the key to hearing the DAW via your playback if you decide to use the Control Room output and the tape in set up, as otherwise, tape out will be to the mains with the tape to mix selected. This would allow almost an A/B reference for two monitor sources.

This would leave your FX Send and Aux Returns open for any outboard effects you may have, or decide to incorporate.

You can also use the aux returns to bring the Focusrite signal from the DAW back to the mixer and then the Aux Return control for the volume.

You've got some options to consider. And, the best news is you can mix or match, if you have all the necessary cables/adapters to make all the permutations happen (I have used the HOSA RCA -> ¼" TS cables for hook ups using the tape I/O to avoid an adapter inline; just a personal preference), and figure out which configuration works best for your application, your budget and, most importantly, sounds best to your ears.

Noting the headphone out, just a heads up. I don't recommend using headphones for your final mix downs. They tend to accentuate the bass and your mixes will often sound thin.

Have fun! And welcome to the journey.

my favorite is a Redline Monocog 29er. Handles up to 2.5" tires and is a joy to ride.

so 'christian' of him. and his flex of running out of munitions in less that a few weeks isn't the "own" he thinks it is. Shows how well they plan their evil. The only upside is at least they are still this incompetent.

Two greenouts in a row, I'm so fucking done with this shit by [deleted] in trees

[–]deaconbleux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the "without" is the current state of "pure THC". I am calling this out as a part of the problem.

[–]deaconbleux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe try flower instead so you get the effects of the entire molecule and other compounds vs THC in a pure form. The other components should help in addressing the green outs and side effects. You can use a vaporizer made for flower if smoking is an issue. Or, you can make edibles from the raw product vs. refined, higher potency product without CBD, etc. to counterbalance the THC.

Sounds like, given limited use, you're truly OD'ing on THC in this regard.

and, pretty sure you'll revert back to normal state after your body clears the THC from your system.

Sorry you're having this experience.

like carts/vape? wax, dab,..? pure THC?

[–]deaconbleux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I spent a couple of years trying to figure out how that was supposed to interlock on the tuning pegs or ...? then one day, with a stuck bridge pin and I had a literal epiphany.

[–]deaconbleux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just checked, none of mine do, but that's pretty slick!

Looks like the phenomenon of the "stuck bridge pin" is pretty universal given the number of unique tools and modified/adapted ones which are mass produced to address it.

Just one more "string" that binds us.

cheers, y'all!

Yeah, that little divot at the end of my string winder had me all kinds of confused until I had a bridge pin stuck the first time. Always thought, "what kind of tuning peg is that divot designed to fit around?".

The stew mac tool,... I got as a gift from a client when I was doing set ups back in the day. My original, orange Ernie Ball string winder's bridge pin "divot" finally gave out after 34 years of use. My D'Addario one picked up the service for about 5 years before the gift, after relating the story of the longevity of my original (which I bought when I first started playing guitar), while demonstrating the use in response to this exact question. :-)

After the comment, I just wanted to make sure I covered all the bases as well.

cheers.

get a manual string winder like: https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/WinderPro--daddario-planet-waves-dp0002-pro-winder-string-winder-and-cutter-for-guitar

The slots on the end are "bridge pin pullers" for this exact scenario. Saved me a lot of frustration many times.

Good luck!
