I just got an Apogee Duet and it mostly works fine, except that when I plug the supposedly balanced XLR output of either one of my external pre-amps, the Art MP Studio Projects or the Presonus Blue Tube, into it and set the device to +4db Line input like I'm supposed to for balanced inputs, the...

Good choice? Got the FMR RNP to go with it...

I just bought a FMR RNP pre-amp and a Rode NT2A. Is this good pre? Is this a good combo? Is the DMP3 better?

I need to get a mic for recording vocals and alto sax. I am looking for something versatile but especially good for these two applications. I am thinking about the AKG 414. I am also considering upgrading my mic pre for this. If I do go with the 414, which model should I look for? I can spend up...

I was reading mic cables are specially designed to be low impedence (usually.) So does that mean I shouldn't use a regular HOSA XLR interconnect instead of a mic cable?

just got an ART MP tube studio projects that I am using with an E-mu 1212M and a studio projects b1 mic (old kind.) Instead of a mic cable, I'm using a 6' hosa xlr interconnect, and using a monster cable studiolink xlr - phono from the ART pre to the sound card. Of course the sound is not as...

I've got a Presonus Blue Tube which has balanced outputs, so I bought a balanced XLR -> phono and I plugged it into my E-mu 1212M, then selected the Balanced default session, and tried to make it work, but I was having these problems: the gain became different, it appeared I had a lot less gain...

I need to come up with gear I would get if I had a 10k budget. What I have now is limited (mbox 2 + protools + mac mini, basically.) I would like to add an assortment of mics, a summing box (?,) a great mic preamp, software, and anything else I might need. My idea is to make a semi-transportable...

I would like to be able to record small group jazz/blues/acoustic music in various environments usually indoors. The things I am looking to spend...

Do I have to be careful when connecting or disconnecting equipment while it is on or loud noises to the mic, like causing my TubePre to clip a lot, is this going to damage or wear down the tube faster?
