What about using something like Audacity 1.3beta's noise removal effect? You select a few seconds of noise only(just record ambient/background noise), then it filters it out from the rest of the track. I haven't actually tried it, but I wonder how it would effect the rest of the recording??

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlWUaiQsxiQ Here is a video of the typical display I have when recording my usual setup. Sorry I didn't have time to record the amp and synch the video, but the display of my meters is what I see when this noise can be heard. When it blinks "clip" it's obvious...

Ok thank you, I think I understand what you guys are telling me. There are 2 input controls on this thing. The first is a wheel which sets input level, from 0-100. Then inside the menu control, there is a sensitivity setting that adjusts from -15db to +9db. It's the sensitivity that I usually...

I'm not getting a clip indication, yet there sounds like clipping from my recorder in this recording. The level meters don't always show full when this clipping sound is heard. I'm wondering if it's something in the signal chain? Vox AC30-->Sure SM58(with ball removed, a couple inches from the...

That is clipping right? It's not something wrong with the speaker that I'm only hearing when the mic is 3" from the speaker?

Better late than never...finally got a clip uploaded. You can clearly hear the clipping, yet I got no indication from the "clip" light and the level meters didn't seem to max out. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=1073944

I'd like to know some basic options for uploading .wav's and .mp3's of my own for others to listen to. Another one I've heard of is soundclick.com?

I have an AER Acousticube, pretty much the best acoustic amp there is. Everything about this thing screams quality and fidelity. It has a 48v mic input, as well as a XLR DI out. Since I don't have a lot of money to spend on mic pre's, I was wondering if I bought a nice condenser mic, and ran it...

I don't know what a "jamtrack" is, but you can load .wav files into the BR and then convert it into song data. I've done it with .wav files before. Do you have the manual?

Thanks for the tip, but I'm pretty sure I have the power turned off. There is a setting which can give something like 2.5v, or nothing. I'm pretty sure it's turned off but I'll double check. ...still working on getting the clips

Sorry guys, I should have given more info. Yes the Boss Micro BR input jack is a mini stereo 1/8 line in. I use a XLR to mono 1/4 with a 1/4 mono to 1/8 stereo adapter. From within the Micro BR menu I can select EXTERNAL MIC input or LINE input. But they both come from the same jack. When I...

I have an SM58 and a Boss Micro BR(portable 4track). For this question I'm using the mic(with pop shield removed) to record a Vox AC-30. I find that if I connect the SM58 to the BR Boss and select EXT(external mic) option for my input connection, I can hear clipping, even if I set the...

Excuse my obvious newbie question concerning feedback. But I'm trying to get an understanding how it works and how to prevent it. I'm trying out a California Blonde II with my Martin HD-28V. There's been a few times that as I'm setting the gain and volume, not playing the guitar, howling...

Trying to decide on the best preamp/DI to match with my K&K Pure Mini's installed in my guitars. I was at first going to go for the K&K XLR preamp, but I've been overwhelmed with all the other options out there. I've now been looking at the Radial JDV, but I'm not sure if it's a preamp or just...

I've heard the name Radial passed around many times, always with praise and good reviews. So I've decided to check them out, and wow, their product descriptions are deep and detailed! Is this a preamp too, or just active DI? From what I can read, it sounds like the JDV has variable impedance...
