G'day, please excuse my lack of knowlege of electronics) I just bought MaxiStuio ISIS the other day. Using Logic Pro Audio, the signal from my microphone that inputs into the external rack is VERY VERY quiet/low... I went to the Guillemot site FAQ and it said I need an external mixer or pre-amp to amplify the signals... I'm using an unidirectional mic, would using an omnidirectional mic fix this? Or would i need some other expensive equipment? Also another thing, I get a system overload error sometimes when i try adding more than one effect. Is it because my computer is an ancient intel pentium 166 with 64 ram? Please help, Thank you...
