Hey guys.

So now I got myself some equipment (cheap but it should do the job.. but eh it doesnt!)

I got:

M-Audio Audiophile 2496 | soundcard

Behringer Tube ultragain mic 100 | Preamp

Soundforge Compact4 | Mixer

Boss Gt-6 | Fx-board

Guitars - different types


Varius recording programs

An old Amplifier with a set of speakers


Ok, here goes. First I had the amplifier connected to the soundcards outputs. This gave a perfect clear sound when listening to audio, so I can surely say that the amplifier works. Next thing I got the mixer so I decided to try it out.

This is how I connected it.

Soundcard output to mixer 'Playback in'
Mixer 'record out' to soundcards record in
Mixer 'Monitor' to Amplifier
Board to preamp
Preamp to mixer input (like pluggin a normal device into the mixer)

The results were good at first I thought, the sound was nice and clear but I discovered that when I tried to record something it was AWFUL!! Ultra low sound with more buzzing than sound!

What can the problem be, and how do I solve this mess?

Thanks for reading
