That is not the same thing. Mic placement and the gain dial on your amp are two different things. Also another thing is the mic pre level. Those three things plus the room your in are all factors. good luck.

I like the senn 421 for guitar cab. Mic placement and gain staging is crucial.

I would like to recommend a single SDC for the viola/violin.

Good thing it's a piece of garbage. Marshall started putting cheap audio transformers in JCM2000 series after the first run. Though a company called mecury magnets makes a drop in replacement.

not sure about the pedal but the amp is a bigger factor. your amp is a solid state amp. Its going to sound best at the lowest possible volume

dead wrong, mic type and placement are key. Dynamic mic SM57 will do, but I highly reccomend the Senn 421. Its a large diaphram dynamic, which is good for high SPL. Your probably 100% correct on that and you will not get it any better with any type of pedal or processor. Find an old JCM...

No offense, but here in the US the big box music store salesman are not going know jack shit about an interface, other than some line of BS to get you to buy. Just like anything else, the last person you should get information from on making a purchase is the person you are buying from.

come on man its "toooob"..... it'l get warm and fuzzy.:laughings:

are you sure the phone jack isn't a headphone output?:eek: You would be looking for an aux input to plug your geeter into.

If each channel has inserts or direct outs then you can use them to feed your interface letting you isolate each channel. It sounds like your going to need at least 8 channels of conversion if not more to do this. you could use the stereo tape out but your getting whats mixed for the house and...

I heard that. My wife is the opposite, she hates my material. But that means somthing good. Her favorite group is the counting crows.:laughings: I really think most people I know feel the same way as my wife. But they are not influenced by the same music as I. This doesn't bother me.

I would say something like izman is saying or maybe its a driver issue. You may want to try reselecting the driver for your interface in ablton or uninstall and reinstall the driver completely.

I am no pro but, I ve come a long way. I believe there is an advantage to working in a studio. There is gear ready and and people there you can watch using it in real time. But in my case, I had to learn the ropes on my own. It takes a while to accumulate gear and a lot of reading here...

Here is a shot in the dark but is there a low cut or bass roll off on the mic your using? If so give that a shot, because its hard to "polish a turd". I always try all the tricks I can at the microphone first (mic selection, settings and placement. Then if that doesn't work then by all means...

Im sure in the "real studio" it is hooked up to the gills with great acoustics, and great monitors.
