    Thump my kick, buzzing sound hissing issue

    connect the drum station to a channel by a DI box, then use an insert cable to connect the 3630 into that channel. I find that I have to run a DI box from these modules from any output it uses.

    Recording Contrabass

    I've done the lavalier mic on the bridge, but differently than the video. I stick the mic in one of the bridge holes with the mic pointing towards the neck. This worked so well for recording, the musician bought another bridge piece and paid me to permanently install one on that bridge. The...

    Low level audio

    you must mean -20dbfs. Since A/D converters are not constant in regards to its signal to noise, bringing in a signal that low will have a lower signal to noise ratio. A lot of people settled on -10 dbfs as a recording level for these circuits that were really not well design to record audio.

    Alright what do ns10s sound like?

    I should be more precise to tell you, that I'm running a tube otl amp. Which I find is more responsive than a solid state amp. Even though its only 50W it sounds like I hooked it up to a 500W solid state amp. I've tried a lot of different amp combinations and I'm impressed how well these 15W...

    Stereo bus peaking louder than track

    looks like because you have the buss gain at +6 instead of unity.

    Alright what do ns10s sound like?

    You see I altered the purpose of mine. I built the tube amp a special way so it would make what is wrong stick out more. Guitar amps are not really program audio tube amps. Obviously you never heard any clean high end tube amps for program audio. An observation I recently discovered is my...

    TASCAM 388 with (OLD) LEXICON 200 (transformer balanced XLR) ???

    actually there are several interconnect standards. The question on if it would need a 2K would be if it was needed for the correct gain structure. Putting a resistor on the + input to a transformer converts the input to be that impedance unbalanced. This is normal signal transformer theory. The...

    TASCAM 388 with (OLD) LEXICON 200 (transformer balanced XLR) ???

    yes, because the gear convention for effects were 1/4 inch or rca unbalanced when the 388 was made. The question becomes if the OP can use pin 2&3 of the lexi by itself or has to convert the xlr input to be unbalanced with a 2K resistor in series on pin2.

    Noticing many microphones are 600 ohms, that mean anything?

    Its has always been govern by Xc of the coupling capacitor. This is first year design school stuff.

    Are PreAmps a marketing myth?

    I bet its because they only show it to techs and not put it in the manual. 88R. notice the screwdriver adjustments next to "SF Mute"

    Noticing many microphones are 600 ohms, that mean anything?

    Transformer to transformer coupling still fallows power matching rules. Its when it goes into a capacitor coupled input frequency response starts going awry a little because the transformer has resistance lower than the termination resistance on the other side of the coupling caps.

    Blacklist of Audio Interfaces/Devices to Avoid

    I don't like them because mics shouldn't change their basic characteristics. So I expect my e835 to sound like an e835 instead of an sm7 because the highs got attenuated with a badly design mic pre. I don't always track in the same place with the same equipment and its annoying at times. Problem...

    The whole thing about it is that they made it wrong on purpose. Because in a lot of cases its only 1-3 different parts that have the wrong value causing the input impedance to be that high.

    Blacklist of Audio Interfaces/Devices to Avoid

    A lot of times, things are paid endorsements. Also, a lot of these interfaces use a bad grounding scheme. That is why they are prone to ground loops. The trackmaster pro was another terrible mic preamp that they made that had issues with some mics. Dbx 286s is another crappy mic pre/channel...

    Blacklist of Audio Interfaces/Devices to Avoid

    Oh I have for several devices, and they paid me to do it before. Its not my fault they didn't put a dynamic mic transformer in the SM7b. Instead, they came out with some sort of other version. Because they didn't want to reveal their mistake. Just like focusrite scarlette. They are never going...

    I find it quite successful into flushing out gear supporters who is going to defend their bad electronic engineering from their sponsor.

    Are PreAmps a marketing myth?

    Which really makes no difference since Neve consoles as well as other like SSL have the same signal headroom. Ever noticed these boards have programmable clip light via a cal knob?

    I reject your opinion on this post because you are probably sponsored by cloudlifter or any of those $5 mic adapters they sell for $100. Any mic pre that needs that one goes on the list.

    Blacklist of Audio Interfaces/Devices to Avoid

    Not really trolling. I think its time to set up the list of items that people over the years have had issues But maybe I need to add posting the reason for incompatibility discovered. This will help people in the future on things known to cause issues or devices to avoid entirely. I seen too...

    But this is more of the master tool maker critiquing other tools people made. Which is a whole different thing.
