Guys, I have behringer XM8500 connected to my ASUS Xonar D2X Sound Card, the recording is too low though I put it to the Maximum in settings.Any hint?

The input for that sound card is possibly a LINE LEVEL signal... you will likely need to use a mixing board or some other unit with mic pre-amps and run the LINE OUT of that into the sound card. If you are using a MIC IN on the sound card, there may be a "mic boost" setting in the Windows Audio Control Panel, but it may not help enough since this is a normal, low-impedance mic and needs a low-impedance mic input with a gain control (like on any mixing board that has XLR mic inputs). I use an Alesis USB8 and a Behringer 802 for running mics into my sound card (Sound Blaster Live 5.1).

This type of microphone requires a "pre-amp". Most mixing boards have these built in to the mic channels but since you are going direct to computer without first going through a mixer you'll need to buy a standalone preamp of some sort.

As I don't know what you know about computers, I suggest the following. If you know all this, I apologize. Make sure your Behringer XM8500 is selected in 'Recording Devices' in 'Sounds' in the control panel. Your computer could just be picking up sound from the built-in mic.

I brought it for my grandsons with an Behringer 302USB Premium 5-Input Mixer with XENYX Mic Preamp and USB/Audio Interface for $49 they say it works but they can't download the software to do the mixing personally I read an answer to this question that makes more sense --return it and buy a snowball usb mike. I goggled it and it is cheaper and seems less complicated to use and set up-- http://bluemic.com/snowball/

Hii. So this mic like most mics. use an xlr cable.. and you can use with amplifier. You can also get an adaptor this xlr to quarter inch if need be too. Hope that helps.. but behringer mics work well and easy to use.. enjoy. Im happy with sound

Yes. Actually, the same thing happened to me with my Alesis io dock. I got rid of the Alesis. The Behringer is far more superior in every conceivable way. No worries. Get it.

Same problem - minimal recording volume. I tried using it with Skype and Duolingo with no luck. Went to Logitech to see if there were drivers for my OS (Windows 8.1) but there are none. It's going back.

Your machines audio card may be too old and not powerful enough. This requires so much audio RAM that weaker audio card will clip and drop out if recording.

I have heard, from LinusTechTips on YouTube, that the ASUS Xonar sound cards are great. I have the DGX, one of the cheaper ones, and it sounds really good.

I use a Focusrite 2i2 audio interface, with balanced XLR to XLR cables - very quiet. What are you connecting to the monitors? Make sure you are using quality cable(s) as well.

Yes, I encountered the same issue. The best solution is to import the file into Audacity (free software) and then apply amplification. I usually added some EQ too because they sound too thin. Of course, if you are a purist, you would like to avoid this last step. As I mentioned in my review, mp3 recording here is a good idea but the technology used needs some tweecking. I hope this helpful.

I'm not sure what kind of sound you have that needs improving. I'm amplifying a weak signal from my computer's sound card. I'm getting more than enough amplification, and the sound is as clear as I would expect.

Agree with other folks who posted; get a headphone amp or maybe a USB DAC to take on the work of sound processing from the integrated sound card. Though they have gotten better integrated sound cards suck compared to a dedicated card or device. I was looking at picking up Audioengine D1 24-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter for my PC; so that I can connect my monitors and also use the head phone jack for these PC350 or my HD 600s.

I'm fairly certain the mixer puts out a constant volume through USB. So, you need to adjust the recording level on the mixer's "sound card".

I had the same problem. There is a button called "Level". When you enter this space you can vary the volume of your bass and the cd, independently. I've found that some recordings require changing the settings but this should solve the problem. If not ask again and we'll dig deeper.

Typically you find this in the "audio/interface settings" of either the DAW software or the system preferences. Tascam can help troubleshoot if needed.

It's maybe because of Asus's Audio Wizard. You should try these steps and see whether or not it'll work:1. Press the Asus Console button on the keyboard (the only blue button on the keyboard on the top right)2. You will see a panel shows many controls you can switch.3. Click the Audio Wizard panel (the purple one)4. You will see many equalizer options. 5. Click OFF to switch it off. It'll return to normal audio without any software interference. I had this kind of problem too when the volume got ridiculously loud. Hope this'll help :)

Hey Jordan, the latency is low enough to record with other tracks. The driver is an asio type. I usually get less then 5ms. ;) there is also a mix knob to hear direct to monitor with 0ms latency or a mix through the computer with the asio.

My friend had the same problem. He hadn't turned up the volume of the headphones. The volume level in on the side of the tascam dp-008.
