Hi, All,

I bought a UMC404HD last summer, and I have never gotten it to work.  (I haven't had time to mess with it honestly.)  I have a MacBook Pro. I'm still running Big Sur just because I'm always in the middle of something and can't take the risk of something going wrong with an update.  I'm getting no sound at all through the UMC404.  I set it to the audio device and nothing.  I cannot get anything to come through it.  I can't get any sound to move from my computer to the interface and into the monitors.  (I use Logic Pro, and of course, it's not getting sound either.)  I'm at a loss.  Anyone else run into this?  Is it possible to reset the interface maybe?

Thank you!

I want to use my XTouch Compact for midi CC's instrument controlling expression, dynamics and breath control.

Is anyone also using the unit for this exclusively and can explain how to set it up for that, from the start?  DAW Cubase.

Thanks kindly.

Greetings - I'm suddenly having an issue pulling up and / or saving shows to my XR18. I typically adjust settings and all after every show / venue, but now, when I try to pull up a saved show, it's the same settings across the board. Ideas on what I may be doing wrong? I connect the mixer to an external router, fyi. I attached a pic for reference. Thank you in advance! 

Hi Everyone, 

I have tried searching across the internet for the answer but now I am losing the will to live and hoping you guys can be my saviours.

I have a UMC404HD, Audio Technica M50x headphones, Windows 10 and Cubase 5. 

No matter what I do I cannot get sound coming out of the left hand side of my Headphones. I have also tried a cheap set of Odio headphones to get the exact same result. Could this just be a defected interface or am I missing something?

I have tried reinstalling drivers, switching A/B, panning the IN and PB to either side still nothing. The Mono/Stereo switch doesnt seem to do anything at all. I do get sound into the left ear but only the left ear when I plug the cable into the back 1-2-3-4 playback ports. 

I am routing the cubase correctly I believe, as the same software works perfectly for my xr18. 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks in advance

TL;DR - Do the Xenyx series mixer & USB interfaces able to send the channels separately into a DAW or are they all combined into one single output?

I'm considering one of the Xenyx series USB mixers to replace my audio interface. What has me interested in it is the onboard compressor and EQ. Is it able to record two channels separately and simultaneously? What I'd like to do is have the first channel record a clean signal into my DAW, then take that same signal and run it back through the second channel and use the effects (comp & EQ) to do some basic processing to monitor with while tracking.

If I'm not explaining it well enough, here's an example. Say I were recording vocals. I’d run a mic into channel 1 clean with no compression or EQ on the mixer affecting the signal. I'd then like to run that same signal back through the mixer into channel 2 and use the compressor and EQ to set up a monitoring channel without having to use up CPU with plugins and cause added latency to my monitoring.

Ideally, I'd like for the mixer to at least record the unprocessed 1st channel. This way I can cater the mixing/processing more specifically later to the song I'm working on in case whatever I chose to do when monitoring doesn't work in the context of the full mix. The second channel doesn't have to be recorded, but if the mixer is unable to provide the outputs of the channels to my DAW separately, it wouldn't give me the clean, unaffected recording that I actually want

Is this even possible to do this with one of the Xenyx series? Would there actually be any benefit to doing this or would this process just create latency in itself?
Are there any alternatives for doing as I've described? I've been having issues with major latency while tracking recently that tech support for my DAW and interface are unable to reconcile. I figure if I can get this setup, I can get back to creating and stop wasting my studio time trying to troubleshoot and can wait until I have more free time to work on the issue later.

Thanks for any help, it will be greatly appreciated

We have an X32 Rack we use for an in ear system. It is currently set up with 2 S8 splitters and I have a 16-channel snake going out to connect to FOH. I need to expand that to 32 inputs and 16 monitor sends but want to avoid the 2 extra splitters and the extra snake.  I know I can get 1 or 2 S16’s for the expansion.  We do not use our own FOH board and rely on each venue’s FOH equipment.  I know if the venue has Midas or Behringer we are good with cat 5.   Will other brands mixers accept the cat5 feed?  What’s my best solution to this?
