It is such a welcome relief from the customer "support" process available with most other companies.

-- on that comment Russell. MH has the best support of any company, anywhere, I've ever dealt with. ------Ivan, from Flea microphones in Slovakia is a close second. It's poppin it "old school" and ya just gotta love it!

There's no shortage of MH support love going on here and I gotta say, John was a very patient and helpful gent today in helping me to wrap my head around the MIO mixer/console. Very refreshing indeed.
Thanks again John!

The MIO console is quite in depth and though challenging at first, I can see how amazing it can be in helping one to accomplish very efficient work flows. Very nice.

Oh yeah, it sounds really really good too.

Yep, John is great. Allen is very helpful also.

If your knew to the console, you should download, watch and keep the videos close at hand. Almost all your end user type questions can be answered there or via the MH list serve.

Gotta say, I'm really diggin the LIO8.
Like what the DA's are doing for material previously rough mixed via Apogee.
It's truly a tool I'm glad to have right now.

Just have to decide, clock B2 to LIO or visa versa. hmmm.
Burl captures the sum and hw back to daw. Still use it as main AD, though curious to dable w the LIO AD's as well.

The conversion and solid daw integration make this bugger a keeper.

That's rich.

Got a ULN8 coming in late january - really looking forward to working with it.
I have many planned uses for it, live and in the studio.
I'll probably be badgering you guys for help and advice while I get to grips with it.

sorry, if i may sound stupid, but how can i finally export a mixdown from my metric halo then to a .wav? from the mio console?
i just found out after years producing semi pro wise, that sunming ITB with cubase isnt the right way to go :/

You record DAW 1/2:
1. select am out/dir on DAW 1/2 (this enables the record for those strips)
2. in record panel, select a destination.
3. in record panel enable record for DAW 1/2
4. hit record, play your track.
5.the MIO does not record an interleaved file. I use de-De-Interleaver to combine the files and Wave Editor to clean up beginnings and endings.

De-Interleaver - USITTSound

heb-musik · 27th December 2011

ok understood.
and then i can assume my final .wav to sound much better than summing ITB with cubase if i got this right?
well im pretty excited to hear the big difference :-=)

Agreed, the Metric Halo guys are something different and it shows in the tools they make and the way they do things.

"much better", "big difference"? Doubtful unless Cubase or you are doing something terribly egregious. At this point in the game we should be talking inches, not yards.

You probably want to send each track individually to the MIO Mixer and sum it in the Mio Console. If it's coming out of Cubase as the final mix, it won't make any difference.

Whether sending individual tracks to Mio Console for summing will make a difference is something you will have to decide :-)

Just heard MH is moving from NY to Tampa, FL. What's up with that? I hope the engineering labor force in Tampa is at the same level as New England.

I would think that the engineering labor force will be the same as it was in New York, so not to worry. It's a pretty small company and I'm amazed they put up with New York winters as long as they did.

Another New England ex-pat.

thx for the tip but the software is constantly crashin...
i cant interlave 2 .wav.
Is there another software without quality loss?

HiFi Yeah · 8th January 2012

You can use Sample Manager for this as well as a lot of other uses (SRC, dither, MP3).

heb-musik · 9th January 2012

i have another question regarding the routing in the MIO.
i read from someone that he is defining several outputs like BD out Snare OUT and a further Drum OUT which includes both snare and bd.
I dont get it if you source out multiple versions of your mix wouldnt it double then in the mix the volume? whats the sense on it?
Is this a common practise to route several instruments many times into the summing?

jdizzy · 8th February 2012

I've been having great success using 'MackieforCubaseV1' template for Lemur on iPad to control MIO Console, the 2 way feedback works over wifi (using the session connection but not with the native lemur daemon) which comes in very handy and has been a huge joy to use instead of a mouse. Overall it's been such an improvement to my workflow.
