    Live choir amplification (not looking for suggestions, just thoughts!)

    Hi There, Won't bother you asking for mic suggestions, just for some thoughts on the subject (although suggestions along the way are welcome!). :) I'm in the market for a set of overhead microphones for a 20-30 person choir. We mostly sing in church, but also in open-air or other venues...

    Optical input bypasses card's converters?

    Hi, I have a simple question: If I connect something to my SBLive's (the Platinum version with 5.25" bay and digital I/Os) Optical Input, does that mean I don't lose on sound quality after my [device]'s optical output, because it's a Creative? I am now really getting tired of my SBLive's...

    Pickup (?) hum, please help...

    Hi, here I am again with a probably newbie question, but: when I turn down the volume pot on my electric, there's a hum (the lower the volume of the pot, the louder the hum). If I touch the strings, the hum disappears. This sounds like a grounding problem. Now I'm handy with a soldering iron...

    Upgrading my mic cables - durability!!!

    Hi, I usually bought the XLR cables from thomann, their own brand (Sssnake). Now three out of four mic cables I bought from them, failed on me: Pin 1 and 3 just short out, so my condensers won't work with them as they don't receive any power. Now I can't blame them, I mean they were 25' cables...

    Tech question

    Hi, Does anybody know the usual input impedance on a guitar amp / combo? I'm not talking about an extension cabinet, but just the thing you plug your guitar into... I use a valvetronix ad30vt amp by the way, but I guess the impedance should be quite standard? Thanks, Stan.

    Songwriting, creativity and lyrics...

    Hi, I really want to write my own songs, but I've only written one complete song now... I find it very easy to come up with an interesting chords progression, but then the hard thing steps in: lyrics and melody. I know this must have been said before, but I can't really write any melodies...

    MXL 990 - bad hum

    Hi, I was recording something and discovered a hum sound, searched for it and found it to be the MXL 990. It sounds like it's not grounded, and when I get in close to the body of the mic with my hand, the hum gets worse, and when I touch the body of the mic, there is an explosion of hum, it...
