Hey.
I'm recording into a tascam us 428, into my PC, running nuendo.
I want to know a few things:
1) do I need a mic pre? Or will the tascam suffice? What is the value of dishing out the dough for that?
2) Recording guitars: I 've seen the endless debate for micing vs DI. My question is: I have a line pod, and my amp also has Direct output. Do I need to put a DI in that chain (for impedance purposes?) or will either the behringer or the pod function as a DI?
Lastly, I have yet to be able to mic the amp well at all. If I put it too close, there is an unbelieivable amount of noise. Once I put it too far, the sound is way distant. Help!
The mike is a EV N767a, super cardiod.
Is this MIc decent enough for vocals, and guitars?
Thanks!
