Still learning...
I've been doing Hard disk recording for about 3 months now and have been getting pretty good results recording trumpet with band in the box, cakewalk pro audio 9, and cool edit pro.
My next project will be with Live guitar and bass in my small in home makeshift studio.
I use a darla 24, mackie 1402, and 2 AKG D770 instrument mics and an Apex 430 Studio large Dia. mic.
My question is: can I plug the guitar and bass directly into the Mackie without using a preamp for recording to hard disk and get good results?
If so, where do I input them on the mackie, and do I need anything special like a step down trasformers to match impedences, or what?
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
