My studio had a Midas Siena 480 before I started working there and it was set up by the previous Engineer, but I can't for the life of me find anything on the correct way to connect external pres and compressors to the console. At the moment we have a Neve 1073 going directly into the consoles mic pre, but this seems wrong to me as it's one pre going into another. I just want the Neve going in. Same goes for our 1176. The signal is all in series. 

Can anyone help me with this?

I’m new to this website and don't know much about live audio Equipment. I play small live gigs at bars and restaurants with a buddy playing acoustic Country. We both play guitar and both sing. We have 2 Mackie Thump12A 1300W 12 inch Powered Speakers, and a Midas DM-12 mixer board. We struggle hearing ourselves whenever we play. Because of the small sizes of the venues we are playing at, we don’t want to blast our speakers but at the same time if we don’t turn up our main volume quite a bit, we cannot hear ourselves. We don't want to get floor monitors because of the lack of space at the venues we play at regularly. We are trying to find a solution so we can hear ourselves and adjust our own personal mixes (so I can turn my guitar and my vocals up in my ears and so that he can turn his vocals and his guitar up in his ears). My idea on doing this was buying a 1/4” (M) to XLR (M) chord and running that from the AUX 1 and AUX 2 outputs on the DM-12 to a wired in ear monitor body pack that we could plug our in ears into. I bought all of the equipment and plugged everything in, but only got sound in one ear. I then thought our issue was our chord. I purchased a stereo 1/4” to XLR and thought maybe I needed a mono. So I then purchased a mono 1/4” to XLR chord and still had the same issue of only having sound in one ear. Do you have any solutions or maybe new recommendations on how we can get our own personal mix to put in ears? Thanks for the help!

As from yesterday the firewire of my Venice F24 mixer is not being recognized via the Midas Firewire Panel.

Tried to turn off the mixer and reboot the macbook..with no result.

Is there an option to repair the firewire chip? And what cost would be involved?

How much would a new card cost?

Once upon a time, Midas was a Professional Sound Company with an outstanding technical service to their customers.

You had a problem, you contacted Midas directly over the phone, speak with a profesional technical representative, and sort out problems efficiently and quickly.

Today, Midas technical excellence has become one of the worst services at the bottom of most sound consumer companies out there.

It's basically non existent!

I have been waiting for a simple reponse from them for over a week.

I have raised two different tickets on their non existent support:

CAS-497987-G3J3D9 CRM:0020400001070

CAS-498376-S5W1H2 CRM:0120000246019

But I haven't received a response from them since over week.

How dissapoointing is this!

I just need to purchase a power supoply for my desk

and there is no other way to do this than through Music-tribe.

So what's the actual procedure here?

Buy another desk?

keep raising tickets?

chasing Music-tribe by sending continuous emails to them?

I really thought that buying a Midas desk was enough warranty for me to keep things WORKING

How wrong I was!

PLEASE HELP

Good people!

This is a long shot, lets see if anyone did or have any idea how to do this or if its possible at all.

I have an XL4 installed in an OB van (yeah, I know) while it sounds pretty nice the dreaded Outboard Electronic module just give up on me.

I lost the group routing capability, the aux routing is erratic and when you press 1 it turns on 13 also, our other random aux and turns off other random aux.

All automation don't work, VCA, routing, and all kinds of momentary switches.

My question is, is it possible to bypass the automation module, having access to the group and aux routing and not using the VCAs at all?!

Cheers!
