X-treme eSSB Audio FORUM

so what i was asking earlier was on the compressor when im adjusting it what exactly i was looking for on the gain reduction meter....if anything. when i watch you tube videos on compressor setups it seems that your adjusting so your seeing what i would term as "backswing" so to speak on the gain re...

i like your style of explanation and it is greatly appreciated. i have the mic2200 ordered and on the way and ma planning on making all new starquad xlr's to keep the system balanced all the way until the output of the mixer which is unbalanced anyway and should feed the acc1 port directly in the ba...

so...so im not a total retard here...what kind of signaling should i be seeing on the mdx2600 metering to know the compression is looking good? i know how the gating works...thats easy enough. im currently running 3:1 compression with the threshold at around -10. attack and release at almost complet...

another crazy question...is the output of the xenyx 1002fx mixer(unbalanced) ok to run into the acc1 plug into the back of the icom 756 pro 3 or do i have to have an ibox running into the front of the radio?

i appreciate the input..very good advice which is what i need right now.almost wanted to throw in the towel on this gig after only a month of playing with this. a question though...ive read that its best to go: mic>mic2200>mdx2600(light noise gate,light compression)>eq>mdx2600(final compression,limi...

i loved your explanation and description and will go your route...2200 it is. very good salesmanship! lol thx again.

just for the record.the main reason im going this route is to get everything balanced audio in the chain and give the mic a solid preamp besides the xenyx preamp in that tiny mixer.

i will always take good advice. i would like to know what the benefits of the behringer 2200 preamp is as opposed to the art tube mp preamp are. i was going for cost effeciency as they sell for 30.00 on ebay. and according to the specs it is also balanced in and output. so...pretend your a salesman ...

thx bill for your input. i did wind up running a ground loop isolator in between the mdx2600 and the radio and it took 85 percent of the hum away. i also changed out the amp to a newer ameritron and it all went away.at this point im thinking of adding an art tube mp mic preamp and all balanced cable...

SO...SOME MORE QUESTIONS AFTER MUCH TWEAKING WITH THE NEW MDX2600. BUT FIRST ILL LAY DOWN THE SYSTEM ONE MORE TIME IN ORDER: BEHRINGER B-1 CONDENSER MIC BEHRINGER XENYX 1002FX MIXER BEHRINGER FBQ1502 GRAPHIC EQ BEHRINGER MDX2600 COMPRESSOR/GATE ICOM 756 PRO 3 RUNNING ALL NON BALANCED LINES DUE TO MI...

ok...wow....opened up the instructions and holy smokes. being a dj and into audio somewhat for years i can understand many of the terminology......but, some setting suggestions would help to start and then we can tweak it from there. any suggestions on settings for the mdx1600?

got my mdx1600 finally and saw your diagram and will go with that. question though...i see a lot of guys use one side of the 1600 for say the compressor/limiter and then jump it into the other side for the noise gate or vise versa...any suggestions on how to run that 1600 or can i just use 1 channel...

so the deeper i delve into this the crazier it gtets and i see why u guys just spend the dollars to do it right.here are my issues im realizing: 1-you suggest to run balanced throughout the audio section... problem:being that for now im using the mixer as my mic preamp,the outputs on my 1002fx mixer...

first and foremost...thankyou so much for the time to really answer my questions. for clarification...i will want to run balanced cables throughout the audio section all the way up i get to the radio where the ibox converts it to unbalanced plus gives me a gain adjustment. i think ill go with the md...

brand new to voodoo...loving it so far. ill get to it...i have a icom 756 pro 3(i know,not the best for voodoo), a behringer c-1 mic,xenyx 1002fx mixer, fbq1502 eq...all leftover equipment from dj'ing. questions: 1-want to get the behringer mdx1600. but i notice guys run the dsp2024 a lot in conjunc...
