Common Neve 88M USB Audio Interface Questions
How do I connect and configure MIDI devices with the Neve 88M for controlling virtual instruments?
Connect your MIDI keyboard or controller to the 88M's MIDI I/O ports. Ensure the 88M is selected as the MIDI input and output device in your DAW's MIDI preferences to enable communication.
Does the Neve 88M allow me to save custom channel strip settings or presets for quick recall?
The Neve 88M does not have dedicated preset saving functionality onboard. Save your channel strip settings as DAW project templates or individual channel strip presets within your recording software for later use.
What's the best way to set the input gain on the Neve 88M for different types of microphones and instruments to avoid clipping?
Start with the gain knob at its lowest setting and gradually increase it while monitoring the input level meters in your DAW or on the 88M. Aim for a healthy signal without the signal reaching the top (clipping/red zone).
I'm experiencing latency issues when recording with the Neve 88M. What steps can I take to reduce it?
Lower your DAW's buffer size in the audio preferences, but be aware that very low buffer sizes can strain your CPU. Make sure you have the latest Neve 88M drivers installed and consider using direct monitoring to bypass DAW latency altogether.
What's the purpose of the 'Marinair Transformer Re-creation' circuit on the Neve 88M, and how does it affect the sound?
The Marinair Transformer Re-creation adds a subtle harmonic distortion and warmth reminiscent of classic Neve consoles. Engage the 'Marinair' switch to impart a richer, more vintage tone to your recordings, particularly useful for adding character to vocals or instruments.
