hi just finished recording for the first time with my band. as far as the rest of the band were concerned it is just a demo so they're not too bothered but i'd like to get the best we can out of the investment we've made in the equipment. set up: pc: 2.6 intel p4 processor, 1GB ram audiophile...

hello all i've been looking at this crate buskers amp, but came across something in the specs that's been bothering me. It says that the 2 inputs can take a variety of sources, including high Z mics. http://www.crateamps.com/html/product.cfm?pid=18# now the only mic i have is a SM57, which is...

hi i have the mg 10/2 as well and am looking at getting an audiophile 24/96 (you can tell i've been hanging around this board!) which connection would i use to connect to the audiophile 2496? and what kind of lead would i need? thanks jim

no noisedude i haven't even started to worry bout mics yet. i was kinda running on the assumption that i would need that many. please elaborate on this clever placement idea. again thanks for the help. james.

sorry i meant the sound card in my computer. im planning on recording to a pc using some free software that i will get on the net. i haven't researched that end of things yet. thanks for the reply re the monitors but that was more of an aside, as i really cant afford them. James
