Command Station Tips and Tricks

Command Station Tips and Tricks

2003-07-09 by erik_magrini@Baxter.com

Well, after 5+ hours trawling through the list archives, I've finally 
managed to get a pretty sizeable collection of Tips and Tricks together 
for the Command Stations.  You can find it here:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xl7/files/

I tried to make sure I kept the tips as intact as possible from the 
original posts, though in some cases I did make some small changes to keep 
the document some what manageable.  I also tried to correctly credit the 
person responsible for the tips or tricks, but if you notice any mistakes 
or want me to use another name, just let me know.  This list is by no 
means complete, I'm sure there's some things I missed.  So if you want 
something added or changed, just let me know. 

Hope everyone enjoys this, have fun!

OFF TOPIC: KC-500 to Studio Monitors

2003-07-13 by Wesley D

Ok, posting this here because we have sooo many users on here that are incredibly knowledgable about all sorts of things.  

So here goes.

I just moved away from my hometown to go to school, and so I no longer own a mixer for the time being.  So I'm wondering, if running the main outs of the KC-500 keyboard amplifier into my powered studio monitors will blow the poor things up or not.

I tried it at an incredibly low volume, with the decibel knobs on the back of the monitors set at -20, and no problems.  But I'm scared to go louder and destroy my precious monitors.

Any help = much appreciated.

Yeah, if those are powered outputs on the KC-500, I definitely wouldn't be 
messing with that.  Possible, but way too easy to fry your powered 
monitors.

Thanks for the advice, I've already unplugged them this morning, it just doesn't feel right, I was getting a good signal with almost no volume and a -20dB cut.  It didn't feel right.

Would you perhaps know if going direct from the computer with a stereo-eight to RCA to quarter inch would work?  I mean, I know it'll work, but the signal seems like it'd be too weak to hurt anything. 

DAmn it sucks not having a mixer.

Thanks again,

Wesley,

     If you mean a stereo 1/8" phone plug (going into two RCA's going into two 1/4" plugs), yes
this will work.  Rather than that, why don't you just invest $5 in a stereo 1/8" to two 1/4" plug
adaptor?  Guitar Center has them as do most music stores.  This is the cheapest and easiest way to
get the sound in and out of your sound card.  The fewer connections, the better the sound quality.
 Don't let size fool you.  Even though the 1/8" plug is small, it's still high quality
(potentially).  In the audio world, bigger means more rugged, not necessarily better signal
transfer.

     Stephen

Yes.  You should be fine.  You'll probably want to turn down the volume
on the computer and the monitors the first time you power them up just
to be safe.  Essentially, if the speaker volume is set too high, you'll
hear lots of hiss and the audio may also be very loud.  If the computer
volume is up too high, you'll hear distortion.

-Aaron

Much better idea!  My buddy does the same thing with his DJM500 in fact...

But a wonderful new idea has presented itself to me, my room-mate has a 
Pioneer 600 Dj Mixer.  And since he's got a spare channel, I'm just gonna 
run the PC through there.
