How are you running the tape deck into the laptop now? And what input on the laptop are you using?

As DJL said, the mixer serves as a preamp. Mics and guitar pickup go into the mixer, and you can plug the mixer into the same inputs on the laptop as you're using now with the tape deck. I'm going to go out on a limb and say your sound quality will improve dramatically with this setup. You...

You're right...that IS cheap! If you want to STAY cheap, pop for one of the cheap little Behringer 4 channel mixers. Eurorack UB802 will get you 2 mono channels, 2 stereo channels for $50. 2 XLR ins and 2 1/4" ins, 3 band EQ on each channel.... Of course, you could probably rig something...

Some things will never change..... I thought DJL and Alan buried the hatchet...did something change, or is DJL off his medicine again? I've been away for the board for a week or so...

You've trashed every dynamic you've plugged into a board with phantom power. I recommend that you box up all your dynamics and send them to me for proper disposal. That goes for everyone reading this thread. All of you box up your dynamics, and I'll make sure that they get disposed of...

...who provided feedback on the tracks I posted over the last six months or so. The band I've been recording (Minus Six) for the last 9 months has gotten their CD back from the printer, and the release party is tonight. I posted several tracks off the CD for advice and critique, and many of you...

Why start now? :p

Assuming you have some dynamic mics....I'd go with the 4040. Seems to be good at a lot of things, and doesn't suck at many at all. If you DON'T have any dynamics, get the 3035 and an SM57 (not on your list-I just stuck it in here to piss Chess off... :D ).

OMFG...DJL and I share a common hobby... I just got my Malibu out of storage yesterday...hope to ski for the first time this year tonight, if the weather holds up..... $150 in gas to ski? What are you skiing behind-a 35' Fountain? Yikes..... You may now return to your discussion about cheap...

For $180, he ought to be giving you a matched pair. That's WAY too much money for a 219. By a factor of at LEAST 2. IF you REALLY feel the need to get one, go eBay.

I'll second the vote for the ADK A-51 Type III. I've got a pair...they get used for vocals, acoustic guitar, saxophone, and as drum O/H's in a pinch. I like 'em a lot. And Larry at ADK seems like a hell of a guy-a little less outgoing than Alan Hyatt, but no less interested in making sure that...

Different Marshalls....

I would have upgraded to XP a couple of years ago, except I'm not completely comfortable with the stability of my Seasound Solo running XP. It was designed for 98, and the last "official" drivers from Seasound before they went belly up were for 98. A couple of talented techs have kept on the...

Drstawl- Found the .wav files iassociated with the .veg files in the Vegas folder in the Program Files directory. So, I just dumped the entire Sonic Foundry folder from the Program Files directory onto the D: drive, as well. So, I think everything is saved, in some way, shape, or form. Now I...

I'm using Vegas, SF, and Acid... Here's my crisis...apparently, my studio computer took a power hit, or lightning, or got whacked by an Internet worm, or something. My operating system (Win 98SE) will not start normally. I have tried repeatedly to reload the OS with no success. I can boot the...

This one's not a fight (unless he wants it to be, but I hope not). Given his experiences with so many different mics, I'm just wondering what out there is better than the 4040 for 3 bills...I can't think of many mics that are better all-around performers in that price range. Given the fact that...

DJL-If he can get a 4040 and a DMP3 for $300, which mic would you recommend for $300 that would sound appreciably better with the preamps on his Yamaha mixer? Edit-not meant in a challenging manner-I'd honestly like to know the answer to this...I'm not sure there's many mics better than the...

If MrKevcool is going to be infected with GAS, then I'd agree with this statement. OTOH, if he can somehow avoid the GAS syndrome (probably a fat chance, but you never know-there are those that HAVE that type of willpower. I'm certainly not one of them, but the rumor is that they exist...), a...

If you're not in a huge hurry, you can score a 4040 for less. I've seen them go for $199 or less. If the one you're looking at for $229 is the one with free shipping, though, that's not a bad deal. The 4040 is very nice. It's not outstanding at anything, but it's very very good on a lot of...

Lemme know when the auction ends...I'll place my bid 2.3 seconds before it's over... :D
