Re: Recording with the T1
I am using the Quiet Comfort 35 Headphones. And I would much rather monitor in the air, but the neighbors don't care for that when inspiration strikes late at night. The added benefit is that there is no bleeding back into the mic when recording. And yes, I am enjoying the KMS105 and the Helix. I tried out the Mic live in December... what a joy it is singing through it. There is no hiding any vocal imperfections, especially when the L1 delivers exactly what you are putting into it. But I...

Re: Recording with the T1
Hi Dave, Nice work. That's a lot of sound you're moving through the T1®. Which Bose QC headphones are you using for monitoring? When I record I usually monitor in the air through the L1® but that's mainly because I'm most used to hearing myself that way (in the air through the L1®). It sounds like you're enjoying your KMS 105 and the Helix. Thanks for posting all your settings in detail for others to follow. ST

Re: Recording with the T1
Hi Dave, Sure, I forgot about the neighbors. I have a mental picture of a photo you posted years ago; a big studio. I've got the Bose QC25 headphones and I've used those for monitoring. I understand that they are very similar to your QC35 except that mine unit doesn't have Bluetooth. Are you using a Bluetooth transmitter or running wired to your QC35? If so, which one. I'm looking for something to run with my Bose QC30. ST

Tried running blue tooth, and there is way too much latency... running hard wired, but with the noise cancelling on.

Re: Increasing gain while recording with Tonematch
Hey fitz, Assuming that you don't have anything connected to the T1® Master Output (1/4" jack), you can try setting the Master Output to Pre Master Volume. You'll find details about how to do that here: T1® Pre/Post Master Please let us know if that helps. Thanks, ST

Re: Increasing gain while recording with Tonematch
Thanks, but I am still struggling a bit to figure this ou. Maybe I should have specified that I am trying to record live while playing. I set it to pre-master out--and I used the default setting. Still, the only way I found to increase the signal to Garageband was to amp up the master volume to a level above what I would normally play at in my usual venue, a small Inn in Concord MA. My hope is to try and set my "live" volume through the L1 and also be able to adjust the signal strength to...

Increasing gain while recording with Tonematch
I have set up my L1 Model II to record Garageband on a Macbook Pro through my Tonematch. I am getting "pretty good" results. I am wondering if there is a way to increase the gain to Garageband without increasing the volume from my speakers to he house. My wave-forms are pitifully small in the separate tracks. Thanks for any thoughts on this!

Re: Increasing gain while recording with Tonematch
Try connecting by USB. By passing signal through usb, you are sending digital information to your recording software, so it is relatively simple to increase the volume level of your recording without coloring the sound information.

Re: Increasing gain while recording with Tonematch
I'll give that a try. When I recorded last week, the room was pretty loud, so I was a bit loud, too, which while not a good playing situation, it did send a good signal to GarageBand. I'll keep tinkering and checking the forum for tips. Thanks for your advice.

Recording performances with Tascam recorder and T1® & L1® Compact
I sing and play solo acoustic guitar. I run both mic and guitar into the T1 for some processing and then run the T1 into the L1® Compact via a 1/4" TS cable into the second channel of the L1® Compact. I have a handheld Tascam DR-05 recorder which has a line in. I just tried running from the L1® Compact RCA outputs into the Tascam, and my recording was distorted. I had both the T1 and L1® Compact volume levels at about 12 o'clock. I had the Tascam input level set to "Auto Level". The L1®...

Re: Recording performances with Tascam recorder and T1® & L1® Compact
Hi DowntownJB, I think you'll get better results recording from the outputs on the L1® Compact than the T1® with respect to the distortion. The output level of the T1® is not likely to be lower than the output of the RCA jacks on the L1® Compact. And it's going to be more complicated to connect from the T1® Master Output because it's a balanced mono output. I'd use the outputs on the L1® Compact. Note: The output at the RCA jacks is controlled by the Channel 1 and Channel 2 volume controls.

Re: Recording performances with Tascam recorder and T1® & L1® Compact
Thanks ST. I think my mistake was to use only the Auto Level, which I think is intended for speech recordings. I'll try Peak Reduction and Limiter.

Re: Recording performances with Tascam recorder and T1® & L1® Compact
Hi DowntownJB, I've recorded many times from the RCA Outs on my Compact and always with excellent results. For this I've generally used a Zoom H2 but it theoretically doesn't matter which device you use providing you have the chance to set the recording levels manually. Using the RCA Outs also means that I can place the Recorder in the well where the carrying handle is so that it's out of harm's way. What helps when recording in this way is to set the recording level so that you have enough...

Re: Recording performances with Tascam recorder and T1® & L1® Compact
@splewis thanks for the input - pun not intended - on this one. I hadn't looked at the manual and thought that it would have a line input as my wife's Zoom H2 has. As it apparently only has a "mic in" you will of course need to attenuate the signal to prevent overloading the input. @DowntownJB splewis' advice here seems pretty sound and worth trying. I'd always prefer to record from a line out than try to use microphones if I wanted a decent recording without noise. Tony

Re: Recording performances with Tascam recorder and T1® & L1® Compact
Tony, great suggestion to play pre-recorded music through your system for a sound check. I appreciate all your advice about using the L1C live. @DowntownJB - I have a Tascam DR7-MKII and record every show I play. I have used inline attentuators (-12dB) by Harrison Labs to get the signal tamed to record directly out of the mixer's RCA out into the Tascam's mic in. The issue with the Tascam is that the input is a "mic. in" rather than a true "line in" so you don't have that -10dB pad.

Re: Recording performances with Tascam recorder and T1® & L1® Compact
Thanks @Seagullman and @splewis ! I will first see if I can tame the signal with level setting, and if that doesn't work, I'll get an attenuator.

Re: Perform as well as record on MAC
Hi Avi, Thank you for joining the Community. You can connect your T1® to your Mac laptop via USB. The MAC should recognize the T1® as Bose USB (or something similar). In Logic Pro, you should be to set the input source to Bose USB. For more details about the USB connection see: USB port on the T1® Does that help? ST

Re: Perform as well as record on MAC
Hi Avi, Thanks for the additional information. I don't have a MAC so I can't test your idea here. You can try it. I doubt you can break anything. But it may not be possible to configure the MAC to use the headphone out for your backing tracks, and USB as the audio input for recording at the same time. This may depend on how much flexibility you have in the applications you are using for audio playback and recording. If you try it out, please come back and tell us how it works. Thanks, ST

Re: Perform as well as record on MAC
Hello ST, Thanks for your response. So, I missed mentioning that I'll be playing some backing tracks from my MAC. The 4/5 channel on T1 are configured for taking input from my MAC. Is it possible that my T1 is receiving input from my MAC as well as it can send my vocal with the backing track to the MAC for Logic Pro to record? Thanks for your response again. Avi

Re: ToneMatch - Recording with 48 kHz
Hi Andreas, I'm glad that was helpful. I chose to set the default rate for new projects to 48 kHz and I haven't given this a second thought. Here's how to do it. https://manual.audacityteam.or...ity_preferences.html If you change it to 48 kHz in the Quality Preferences panel, all new projects will inherit that setting. I wanted to ensure the greatest compatibility with the T1 (48 kHz sampling rate) and the only downside I could see was slightly larger files. ST

ToneMatch - Recording with 48 kHz
Hi all, I read multiple times in this forum and in other sources that it would be recommended to set the project rate in Audacity to 48 kHz when recording. I did so but don´t hear any difference to the standard 44,1 kHz. Can anybody explain to me what the difference/advantage is? Thanks, Andreas
Reply
Re: ToneMatch - Recording with 48 kHz
Hi Andreas, The T1® sample rate is 48 kHz. If you want retain that in your recordings then you can set Audacity to 48 kHz, but you don't have to. You can leave it at 44.1 kHz (or just change the default in Audacity to 48 kHz and give it no further thought). If you do a search for 44.1 vs 48 you'll find a lot of articles and differences of opinion. Try this one: Choosing a Sampling Rate . Does that help? ST

Re: ToneMatch - Recording with 48 kHz
Thank you, that helps. Will stick to the 44,1. I was only afraid I could ruin the recording by not changing the format to 48.

T-1 Tone Match PreAmp Outs 1-3 saturating my external recording device
I'm trying to record multiple separate tracks live from the T-1 Tone Match outputs for channels 1-3, going into 3 separate tracks into a Tascam Zoom H-5 Porta Studio. The Zoom 5 successfully records 3 separate tracks but the t-1 output levels are overwhelming the busses in the H-5 making it extremely difficult to get balanced recording tracks. I'm having to set the H-5 recording levels between 2 and 3 and the slightest adjustment has an extreme effect of the recording volume. It seems like I...

Re: T-1 Tone Match PreAmp Outs 1-3 saturating my external recording device
Hi FCBlues, Thank you for joining the Bose Portable PA Community. The T1® Preamp Outs are Post-Trim. To lower the outputs, you can turn down the trims a bit. This will lower the input signal to channels 1,2,3 so you'll have to make up for it with the channel volume controls. Does that help? ST

I had the same problem, sort of, recording with a Zoom 4Hn. I first tried going in the headphone stereo jack, which was recommended on a video. With that, I encountered terrible results. Then, I tired the XLR inputs of the Zoom with a -20db Attenuator that you can get on eBay or at Amazon cheap. Some people recommended a higher rating up to -50db but when I called Zoom, they said that the -20 would be all that I needed. It works fine. Also, several people said I didn't need a balanced cable,...

Re: Recording with iRig 2 and T1
Thanks for your reply. I am using a OnePlus 3 Android smartphone. I'm not understanding how the way you suggested would work for what I'm trying to do. I tried outputting the T1 through a TRS balanced 1/4” cable to the IRig2 input, and the IRig2 to the phone, not the other way around. I want to put guitar and vocal through the T1 with my created Scenes and record on the phone. I connected my headphones to the Irig2 where you noted on the photo to connect to channel 4/5. Thanks

Re: Recording with iRig 2 and T1
Hi Lee, Welcome to the Bose Portable PA Community. If you can get a signal out of the T1 Preamp Outputs, you should also hear a signal at the T1 Master Output. It takes a little more setup to use Aux though. I'll add some notes at the bottom of this post about that. How are you connecting the iRig 2 to the T1? I would do this with a cable like this The output from the iRig 2 should be heard at the Master Output unless you turn down channel 4/5 or mute it. Use the Master Output as the source...

Recording with iRig 2 and T1
Hi I am trying to record from the T1 through an IRig2 to my phone. I can get channels 1-3 individually to record from the preamp out (no effects, eq, etc), but what I want to do is record guitar and vocal, mixed through one of my Scenes. I get no output volume to the phone from either the master or auxiliary outputs. Is there a way to do what I am trying to do? Thanks Edit Subject: Previously "Recording"
Reply
Re: Recording with iRig 2 and T1
I think I need to use Amplitude or similar program, at least to edit out set up and end noises from moving around. No, I get no sound at all from the main output to the headphones, only from the preamp on an individual channel which records fine on the phone (just no effects and only one instrument or mic at a time). Tried the TR cable in lieu of the TRS and still no sound. Thanks! Have a great Thanksgiving, hopefully you'll have an epiphany after enough tryptophan and sugar to solve this issue!

Hi Lee, Thanks for the added information. I'm not familiar with the iRig2 (I have the PC version of the iRig) or your phone, but I can point out a couple of things that may be causing you trouble. When you do this, do you hear anything through the iRig2 headphone output? There may be a problem using the Tip-Ring-Sleeve cable depending on the wiring inside the iRig2. Try a 1/4" (6.3 mm) Tip-Sleeve cable. Are you using the iRig2 as in interface only or are you trying to use Amplitube at the...

Hi Lee, Do you have the channels UnMuted? Do you have the individual channel volumes turned up? Do you have the Master Volume turned up? Check the Prefs, Output Level.

Re: Recording with iRig 2 and T1
Hi Lee, Here's a recap. IF The T1 Master Output works fine as a signal source for the L1 Compact AND The Preamp Outs work okay for recording connected to the iRig2 instrument input THEN You should be able to take the cable that works from the Preamp Output to the iRig2 instrument input and move that over to the T1 Master Output (T1 Master Output to the iRig2 instrument input) ST

Re: Recording with iRig 2 and T1
Hi Lee, This confirms there's a signal coming out of the T1 Master Output. I can't think of a reason why you can record from the Preamp Outs but not the T1 Master Output. Are you using the same cables? ST

Re: Best way to record output of keyboards and Mainstage from T8S?
No did not update the firmware yet. Will try that ASAP and report back. The XLR outs would be tied to the main output volume right? But... maybe not the aux outs? Would that make the aux outs possibly a better choice for recording and live sound?

Re: Best way to record output of keyboards and Mainstage from T8S?
Hi Dr.Mike. The XLR outputs should sound the same as the 1/4" (6.3mm) outputs. The volume will go up and down with the Master Volume control. The Aux outputs volume is independent of the Master Volume control. Note: Only Aux 1 has reverb, the others don't. (You can disable reverb for Aux 1.) You probably don't want reverb in the recording. You can add it later. You don't have panning in the Aux outputs. They aren't inherently stereo, just up to four outputs. That means you can assign Channel...
