![]() ![]() Thanks for the post, I've been looking at both the Alesis and the Phonics firewire mixers, just as a cheap way to get a multitrack location recorder. Some of the firewire devices require a reboot to complete installation, that might have had something to do with your hang.Īlso I found having ALL firewire devices connected at boot time to be pretty vital otherwise things can get real ugly, like trying to send a video stream to my 410, not a nice sound at all. I will post any other problems encountered after a real recording session. Probably a reboot before recording would be a good thing. In all fairness though, I do a lot of non-sound work on my PC and had done soīefore firing up Vegas every time I have tried it since the Alesis addition. That could also have contributed to the hangs, I'll know more next time I run it. I also have removed the Mobo sound card drivers and shut off the onboard sound in Bios. ![]() The Alesis manual, says to power on the mixer first, then the computer.īut I find powering up the computer first avoids the "hang".in my case anyway. I think the hang has to do with the order in which components are powered up. (this has occured three times since installing the mixer two days ago.) The Alesis drivers were selected in the audio devices tab in options, so I don't know why it hung.Īfter resetting the PC, it worked fine the next time. ![]() So far only technical problem is that Vegas "hangs" when I arm the first audio track for recording. Not to mention remote live recording with a laptop. Overall, a step down sonically, but a step up in simplicity and studio space-saving ergonomics, Was when running the onboard PC sound card into the Alesis.īut once I got the playback coming thru the Firewire and not the Mobo sound card, things improved greatly! The mixer looks and feels cheap and the sound/stereo imaging is not as good as the Mackie Installing the Alesis was a breeze, it can record 16 inputs plus the stereo main mix for a total of 18 tracks at once. Took out the old Mackie 1642, removed Echo Layla soundcard & drivers, and installed the Alesis drivers. I recently bought the Alesis FireWire 16 for my home studio. ![]()
