I was getting the pops again, so i unplugged from the passive extension cord and plugged into a cheap 10x usb hub, that does have power going to it. I thought that power was just for the ability to charge stuff, but I guess it does the extender thing, too, because I've been pop free, ever since, for maybe a week now! Thanks for the advice!

Now I use the shortest one I can find and all is well. Keith Ah... mine is on a usb extension, so I can have the computer in the next room (no fan noise), with the usb going thru the wall, and also, the x32 is on a rolling desk, so I can get behind it.

reasons for doghouse: I want to stow a router in there. and the power cord, an aux cord, maybe a talkback mic, etc. I would use the doghouse to take strain off the cables, possibly velcro strap the snake trunk, etc. Read more

Got it, thanks. Kinda weird limitation, eh? Read more

"Analogue" and "Input" are two different things in X32Land. Unless you're recording and playing back simultaneously, the preamp won't have any affect. Try it: record something, stop the recording, play it back, and at the same time adjust the preamp gain (NB that's preamp gain on the Setup>Preamps page, NOT the normal "gain" encoder in the channel strip, which when dealing with a digital signal (eg from a card in or other X32 desk) changes from preamp gain to -+18dB of digital trim. OIC. The preamp dial changes to a trim dial, when you set the routing to card. And, I see that the preamp and trim are independant of each other. When switching between local and card, the two retain their settings. This is, indeed,. a good thing! So, basically, leave all the trims set to 0. I did the experiment, just to see: Put a drum machine into channel, via di box. adjust pre until it only barely clips, sometimes, on x32 Channel on DAW (sonar) says the peak max is -1.3db record the drum machine (peak still at -1.3) play the track now peaking at -1.2 change routing to card, track is playing thru x32 trim is at 0 all channel strip stuff off solo the track, big meter on x32 looks like about -2 if i bump the trim up to +1, the meters start to clip only barely, just like in the begining. So, it's really with margin of error and at least it's on the low side, so tracks from the daw shouldnt ever clip the x32. Grrrrreat! I do agree with the pros and cons of VSC, as noted, above. In my case, this mix is going out to a livestream feed, so what's on the VSC will be almost exactly what is heard by the audience. Thanks guys Read more
