I bought an RNP and an RNC. I know that this leapfrogs my mics, but that's a good problem to have for now. So my signal path will now be: - An MXL2003 for each channel (each turned off axis for stereo) - thru Blue Kiwi cables - to the RNP with RNC loop - out into Monster 1/4", then...

Do "quad" cables have the same applications as regular mic cables, or are they made for something else entirely? More specifically, what's the practical difference, in terms of home recording, between Mogami Neglex balanced (2549) and Mogami Neglex Quad (2534)?

Inside her 'Revelator' CD there's a photo of Gillian Welch and David Rawlings and their recording setup. Apparently they were able to face each other, put mics on their mouths and guitars, play and sing the song together simultaneously, and achieve the most compelling acoustic mix/sound I've...

Will my CD recorder be able to capture the benefits of a good preamp? I have a pair of of MXL 2003s. I'm thinking of replacing my 4-track Behringer Euro mixer with with something like a FMR RNP-RNC combo, which would then go straight into the Tascam onto CD-R. How much of the improvement from...

Looks like a great forum so far, thought it was time I jumped in. For the time being, I am all about being as direct and clean as possible on a tiny budget and in a severely 'one-take' kind of way -- kinda like eschewing oils and pastels in favor of charcoals. Here's my present setup: - My...
