    Rode Podmic minimum requierment

    The attached mp3 clip below was recorded with an Shure SM57 dynamic mic (similar sensitivity to the PodMic) using a Hosa XVM-115f XLR to 1/8" TRS mono cable (the mono signal is on both the tip and ring of the TRS plug. I use this cable for the stereo ins of a camcorder occasionally), into an...

    Rode Podmic minimum requierment

    The Sennheiser CL2 cable will not work. It is intended for connection of a 'balanced' microphone connection to a 'balanced' input of a series of Sennheiser's body pack transmitters. The PC, the Sound Blaster, and others you mention will have 'unbalanced' inputs and will not work properly unless...

    DP008Ex using an external mic

    I don't think a better adapter will help, it just maybe a limitation of the internals of the DP008ex. Either a different mic with a less milliamp draw or possibly an additional phantom power supply box for the NT1a. Something like this (not best quality, but should work OK)......... Amazon.com...

    DP008Ex using an external mic

    If it 'drops dead' while on batteries, try using the recommended Tascam adapter or its equivalent (be sure the DC amps it can supply are equal or greater than the Tascam). I have seen specs for the NT1-a that it draws 5.7ma at 48v phantom. This is almost twice as to what some more typical...

    Shure SM57 low signal

    IK Media has a contact page that it might worthwhile asking the question about the gain of the Axe I/O for your particular application with the SM57. The spec they give is not what is usual in specifying the gain of an interface or preamp. I have an older Tascam interface the I've used a FetHead...

    Shure SM57 low signal

    Blackstar, when you plug the XLR connector into the Axe I/O, does it automatically select the MIC LED on the front panel of the unit or is the MIC or LINE input selection done somewhere in the interface controller software. I didn't readily see a way this gets set either in the manual or from...

    Recording Acoustic Guitar with Zoom R8

    I've been using these in my R24, H4n, and Tascam recorders, as well as a Canon camcorder and cameras and have had no problems. Be sure to buy the card(s) from a reputable seller, as there are fakes around that fall really short the specs they are supposed to have. SanDisk Ultra 32GB Class 10...

    Mackie ProFX10v3 question

    Page 31 of the manual I downloaded has a 'block diagram' for the ProFX10v3. This block diagram is the roadmap for following signal flow through the mixer. It will tell you all you need to know. Simply find the 'USB3/4' Inputs in the block that has the 'Stereo Channel 9-10 CH' and follow the...

    daw and monitor

    Amazon.com: Korg nanoKONTROL2 Slim-Line USB Control Surface, Black: Musical Instruments When it works right it works great, but if something glitches then I spend time trying to get it working again. I probably should check to see if there are more recent drivers for it that might work better...

    daw and monitor

    Tascam 2488NEO user here. I prefer physical faders and knobs rather than trying to grab, slide, turn things with a mouse. I did try a USB controller to work faders and knobs in Reaper, but it was fidgety and I spent too much time trying to get it to work right. I can import wav files from the...

    daw and monitor

    The only one I recall was a modification kit to a Tascam 2488 that fitted it up with a VGA monitor output.

    Podmic static and mixer settings

    - The PodMic appears to be a dynamic mic which by itself should not create any 'static' sounding noise. Hum possibly. - Does the noise occur when the mic is sitting still and no sound put into it or does it happen if the mic is moved a bit? - Does the noise occur if you listen with headphones...

    Can i use my current preamp for my rode procaster or should i get a cloud lifter?

    If you do find the røde procaster needs a boost in gain, besides the CloudLifter also consider the FetHead as a more budget minded option. After much research I went with the FetHead for an SM7b and an inexpensive ribbon mic. The results with it have been more than satisfactory and I like that I...

    tascam DP 008 ex assistance

    Yeah, E/A guitars likely wouldn't do this as no metal bridge.

    tascam DP 008 ex assistance

    And touching the metal bridge/strings of the the guitar may have a similar effect? Pretty common with gear that is run off a wall wart that doesn't provide a ground connection at the plug into the gear (your recorder in this case). If you have another piece of gear that may be grounded (3...

    tascam DP 008 ex assistance

    Does pushing the button noted in the image below get you a selection of inputs? I quickly looked at the manual (pg14 & 42 ?) and this is the button that was mentioned. Block diagram in the manual also shows this as a 'switchable' selection.

    Ocean noises- Is my mic dead?

    If you think it's moisture..... Desiccant packs with the mic in a ziplock bag for a couple days and stop flooding the forum with the same question.

    superlux e205, pc problem

    Curious how much you paid for the phantom power box and the XLR/USB cable? Is what you paid more or less than one of these USB interfaces which have phantom power built into it. These two interfaces also have controls for microphone gain, an instrument input, a headphone output, and can be...
