Multi Track Recording
I just purchased the T8S and was wondering if it would operate as a multi track interface with my MacBook Pro? Hoping you'll say 8 channels of input, but not holding my breath.

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"

Best way to record output of keyboards and Mainstage from T8S?
Hi! I use multiple LI Model II systems for personal use and at a college where I teach. Typically I'm using one keyboard in mono, Mainstage from my Macbook Pro in Stereo (2 quarter inch inputs), and a Microphone. Mic on Channel 1, Mainstage on Channels 2/3 and Keyboard in channel 4. What is the best way for the house PA to receive these channels (or the total mix)--they are running live sound AND recording to Pro Tools. So I'm essentially using the Bose LI and T8S for a monitor (sounds great...

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

Re: T-1 Tone Match PreAmp Outs 1-3 saturating my external recording device
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,...

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...

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®...

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.

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
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, 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

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...

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.

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
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
@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

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: Comparing the S1 Pro and L1 Model II with T1 - male vocal
I saw this last night, but didn't want to get into a response that might take a while so I put it off. Here goes. There are actually three systems that we are listening to. The first is the most creative one. It starts at the abdominal diaphragm and ends at the lips of the singer. In this case, a voice I've heard before, in person, unamplified. This system is a complex one of air bladders and tubes, sound chambers, some fixed and some movable, a whole box of strings, a flapper, whistling and...

Re: Comparing the S1 Pro and L1 Model II with T1 - male vocal
As your actual vocal notes varies between the "takes", it's hard to tell which is "fuller", as you seem to be singing a lower, more from your stomach (or closer/proximity effect) note. First take, #1 appears cleaner, 2 is fuller, deeper. Take three seemed just the opposite. All in all, it averaged out, no real difference to me. Would you not have to record an entire vocal line, then play it back thru L1/S1, to be a more consistent test? I do realize though that the recording would be a...

Re: Comparing the S1 Pro and L1 Model II with T1 - male vocal
Too close for my old ears to call. That said, in if we were listening to this live, it might be a big difference, especially where you are standing in relation to the PA. While the S1 had a fairly wide dispersion, I don't think it's anywhere near the L1 M2.

Re: Comparing the S1 Pro and L1 Model II with T1 - male vocal
Hi DrumrPete, That's why I did several. Not being a trained, disciplined singer - there had to be variations. This test suffers because it relies on the singer to be consistent throughout. Good thought; and it would have been simpler and more consistent with respect to the singing, but I don't think it would have been a fair comparison of the vocal signal chain after the singer. Using a recording, I would have bypassed the microphone to XLR inputs on the T1/L1 and S1 Pro. Since the test was...

Hi Kingbiscuit, Thanks for listening and thinking out loud about what you heard. I put the microphones on-axis at only five feet away to minimize the effect of the room. I was going for the sound as the performer would hear it because I was thinking about how we as performers experience things. Oldghm caught this. I'm sure we would have heard more difference if I had put the microphones farther away or wider apart. ST
