I have a laptop with only a mic in and headphone out.
But if I have a Xenyx 802/Behringer ECM 8000,so do I still need an external souncard??

Apologies in advance for my nooby question and thanks..:help:

This stuff is trickier than I thought.

Drat!

hmmm maybe I should have bought an all in one unit rather than the Xenyx,and Edirol now that I stil need a USB soundcard....
Still would an all in one be more preferable or is the multibox approach just ok?

Any reccomendations for all in ones??

The thought of using a midi interface has lots of appeal on the FBQ 2496,so something that does it all would be really nice.

Ahh a splinter of joy..

I now have REW up and running,well up with baby steps anyhow.
Because I now already own a Xenyx I just ran out and got a cheapy Behringer usb soundcard.

couldn't be bothered shopping again..

Yay! first measurements..
But as I'm still getting the feel for what I'm doing I havn't yet calibrated the RS SPL meter yet or the ECM mic.

But yippee any how.

The FBQ is in situ but not on.I'll get onto loading the filters with the Edirol as I build confidence with my ability.

Anyhow I think I've found a 6db null at about 100hz.......hurting now.

Terry, I'm away this weekend, (anniversary).Should be free on Tues if your available..

Hi Mint,the FBQ is up and running.Very happy thanks to Terry's generosity with his time,also thanks for trying to help when I rang.


Though the next day when I get a few hours of privacy at home I'll move the crossover point.Terry set it at 150hz,I want to try it back down at about 70-90hz.

I feel the twins are happiest down there even though they didn't complain up higher.

I'm not sure how much more improvement I can get but if this is as good as it gets I'm still happy.

As you would know having bass in which you can hear the individual bass notes is a premier experience rather than just bloated slam.

But all I can say is that I'm getting closer but still have a way to go yet.

Thanks for that Stealthgear,but since i have purchased a Behringer USB souncard which is doing fine.

It seems on my Vista Laptop I needed more than what was on offer with the onboard sound card??(no line in).
I've now calibrated the Behringer soundcard and all is doing fine..
I just have to do mic calibration again (I mucked up the last one) and life will be good.

I hope!!
