![]() In any case, I'm thinking about figuring out how to connect the RCA outputs on 1 and 2 to the speaker using a similar adapter (speaker has 1/4 jacks). I got this speaker specifically because it sounded pretty good in the store, but it doesn't sound just right now at home. This brought up another dilemna for a newbie like me: with all the volume sliders that can be manipulated (virtual and tactile!), how do I know I'm getting the best sound? What's the best combination of settings to optimize sound quality when playing off of one speaker (or two for that matter)? It could be in my neurotic head, but I think the bass doesn't sound nearly as good the higher I push the volume. Now I can raise the master volume on the RMX itself to about 20%, and that gives it pretty good volume for when the channel faders are up to about 75%. Doing that I was able to set the volume control on the actual speaker (a Peavey PR15p) to about 3 (out of 10). Gadget: On the Control Panel screen for the RMX, in the volume output section, i brought down channels 1 and 2 to about a quarter of the way up (default was set to about 4/5th of the way up). That seems to ok at the moment, so I was able to work on this a bit. The Hercules Icon reappeared after the second time I rebooted my machine and replugged it in. Thanks to all for taking the time to reply. ![]() So: 1) How do I get my Hercules control panel icon again? 2) How did changing the wires change my setting from WDM to ASIO? 3) Can I just get and RCA wire that can be adapted to fit into a single 1/4 inch jack for the speaker? Thanks for taking the time to bear with me. I've tried looking it up on my own program files to see if I can add to the icon tray, but I can't find it. The icon dissapeared and now I can't get it back. I click on the control panel icon and (don't know why I did this since I never have) I click Exit. Wouldn't you know that I got a message saying that the Hercules RMX is no longer responding. Since the only thing that I had ever changed in my setup is the wiring out to a speaker, the genius that I am decides to pull out the 1/4 wires to see what would happen. All other functions on the control panel worked, but no response when I click on WDM. Here's the thing: When I tried to change the setting back to WDM, nothing happened. Now, I know that I always had this setting on WDM, because I've read these forums enough to know that I don't really need ASIO unless I'm running time codes, which I'm not. However, when I went into the Hercules control panel, to see if I can bring the output volume down (speaker is insanely loud even when I have the master volume on the RMX barely above zero!), I noticed that the sound setting in the lower right hand corner on the control panel had changed from WDM to ASIO. Welll, I set everything up (one wire for output 1, the other for output 2) and the speaker works well. The guy in the music store convinced me to pick up two 1/4 inch wires to connect my RMX to the speaker (he provided a dual female to single male adapter to make it work). ![]() Today I finally went out and got myself an active speaker. I've had the RMX hooked up with RCA cables out of the 1 and 2 outputs to a stereo system and things have been working fine. My set up is still in the bedroom as I'm working on improving my skills. Hi, ladies and gents-I hope you're all having a happy 2010 thus far! So here's my issue: I've been using the Hercules RMX for a couple of months with minimal issues.
