Can I use insert cables to monitor effex while recording? If so, are the effex recorded or can I just monitor the effects? How to patch w/o inserts?

Yes if the mixer you are using can have its inserts routed so that signal is only sent to the monitors and not to the matrix or bus feeding the recording. You can route your channel (from a direct output off a channel strip and monitor that if you don't want to record effects) or route the main left and right through it if you don't want use inserts (If you do the second way it will be recorded). I used this for live shows not in the studio and I'm not sure this would be a very good Effects to use in the studio. It can be noisy and add noise to your recording. It was a last resort for me and I don't use it now that decent digital mixers, which are a better option for live and studio use, are priced better than they used to be.

Can you please recommend me any recording software to use with this? I just don't know any! :-) Thanks!

No, it's not even worth recording, very limited. Hope you find a good one for monitoring at a reasonable price.

Hi every one!!I have to clear a doubt before I buy this item, I love to use midi and playback instruments especially with Reason (obviously I take advantage on recording at the same time), my doubt is if I will have playback latency with this unit as it does not use an internal PCI card?Thanks in advance

I connected the device directly from the TV and cable box to the computer. I had to unplug everything and then re-plug everything afterwards. You play it live and it records in real time.

Well, when I tried recording I didn't hear my vocal on track 2 over the instruments on track 1. So I have a question in my answer. Will it play back an existing track and a new track (a vocal) through the headphones? I'm so frustrated. Meanwhile, I got a new microphone from Amazon. Everything's brand spankin' new. Luv to hear what I sound like when I'm recording. HELP!

I used their software. It worked great for me. I'm not sure about any other program. I did have to buy an external mic from my computer because it was recommended.

No not directly record into a pc that I know of. Try calling tech support to verify. But to answer question, I am NOT aware of a way to do this. You can record continuously with an SD card which you may already know. I use the lorex phone app to send me an email notification once motion is detected. Then if necessary I use the live function to check on the cameras for anything else going on that I may need to check out.

If you put it in line with your input, yes. There is no "insert" for effects or EQ.

I use windows xp to record. It works great. If you're having a hard time just download the drivers off of divide sign that support the mbox. Have fun

The card and its driver are used to capture video. To stream you will need software from a third party. If you check the Blackmagic website you'll find suggestions. I use Vmix to switch and add effects live. Vmix can record and/or stream the production. If you haven't yet purchased and have no interest in switching between sources, there are other alternatives that can capture and stream like the Hauppauge StreamEez-Pro. Search Amazon for "video capture streaming" for more options.

Hi Darian - I don't ever talk to anyone on a blog or respond to anything when asked, but I am now for you. I am not familiar with the M-8DX. However, the Furman PL-Plus C is actually even better and more sophisticated, in terms of protection, than I initially realized. I can recommend two things for you to do to get the most accurate information. It is what I have done myself. You can go to the Furman website (furmansound.com) and read everything you want to know about the Furman PL-Plus C, as well as any of their other products. You can also call Furman's extraordinary Tech Support. The number is on their website. The tech support person is heckin brilliant. He told (taught) me a lot, including just how excellent the PL-Plus C is. He made me feel impressed with my choice. Based on my conversation with him, whatever is plugged into that strip is totally protected in a very big way. He had me plug everything into them. I have two, one for my home theater gear and one for my music production and recording gear. If you have a modem as part of your equipment, plug it into the Furman too. If you have a coaxial cable that is in any way part of your setup, that must also be protected. You will need another small piece of equipment for that, which is also sold on Amazon and I purchased it just today. Panamax is a sister company to Furman. You can access it from Furman's website or go direct to panamax.com. Amazon sells Panamax products too. Amazon has the best prices on both companies. I know because I hunted around quite a bit to get the best deal. I joined Amazon Prime recently. You get free shipping on almost everything and guaranteed 2 days delivery! It's fantastic. If you have any more questions I can help you with, feel free to get back to me if it's possible on this system. There's probably a lot more I can help you out with and maybe you can help me out too. It's great to have someone to talk to about all this stuff. It can be pretty intense. Good luck with everything.

I have cable and can record, but the playback on my has been a B---h, can't seem to get the speed of the recording to sync with the speed of the playback. Don't get what the problem is.....haven't figured it out!

Just recieved the DVR and I only have two cams at this time connected. After setting them up and recording (it shows a red "R" on the monitor screen) I go back to search for the recorded files. I get "No recorded file !" I went to HDD and it shows the harddrive "online" but it will not record the files to the HD. What am I doing wrong?

Highly recommended! Check out my video with this recorder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOQtKBXE3Rk&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I just received this and it came with both the many-headed breakout cable, and a separate S-Video female to 2x RCA female breakout cable for capturing S-Video. However, to monitor over S-Video, you'll need a second one of these inexpensive cables.
