      If you're experiencing crackling sounds with your Alesis Computer Hardware, it could be due to dirty or corroded connections on the back of the mixer. Try unplugging and replugging the connectors several times, and clean the plugs. Alternatively, a microphone cable might have a small short or break. Use SOLO to find the noisy channel and replace the cable.

      If the effects on your Alesis Computer Hardware are noisy, it may be because the effects send is too low and the return is too high. To fix this, turn up the output of the effect device and reduce the Aux Return level on the mixer. Also, increase the Aux Send levels.

      If you're experiencing hiss or noise in the output of your Alesis Computer Hardware, and the faders must be raised to the top to hear anything, the input level may be too low. Try turning up the TRIM controls and lowering the faders. Additionally, set the source(s) to a higher level.

    Why is there no signal from a channel on my Alesis Studio 24 Computer Hardware?

      Michele CaseAug 15, 2025
      If you're not getting any signal from a channel on your Alesis Computer Hardware, there are a few potential causes. First, check if a device in the INSERT jack is stopping the signal; remove the insert jack, set it to bypass, or reverse the input/output of the device. Also, ensure the PAN pot is set correctly: to the left for MON 1 and GRP 1, and to the right for MON 2 and GRP 2. Finally, if you're using a microphone, it might require phantom power, so turn the PHANTOM switch on.

    Why is there feedback when REC is pressed on the Alesis Studio 24 Computer Hardware recorder?

      Kelli WallsAug 19, 2025
      If you experience feedback when REC is pressed on the recorder of your Alesis Computer Hardware, it's likely that the TAPE OUT is feeding its own input. To resolve this, set CHAN/MON REVERSE to UP, or press DIRECT OUT SOURCE down and turn off GRP switches on tape channels. Use MON 1/2 to hear tape.
