    Got the Power!

    The sound of silence! That worked!! I got the mono/RCA adaptor and went in thru the "line-in" on my computor from the preamp (rather than to the mic in) and the background hissing vanished without a trace. :) How can I thank you enough? Whew!

    Mic/Instrument Input mystery

    mic input I'm getting nothing from the mic input (XLR connector) and very strong signal thru the instrument input. This doesn't make any sense right? Everything is hooked up according to the user's manual. The mic is a Sennheiser E835 which has great sound. Should I just go with the instrument...

    pesky buzzzz

    problem solved I had the PAD function set to on which was why I wasn't getting anything thru the mic input on the preamp. Now I have a strong signal thru the mic input and just marginal background noise. Sounds good.

    Mic/Instrument Input mystery

    On the back of the chassis of my TubePRE there are two signal inputs, one XLR for the mic and one 1/4" for a instrument. When I hook up my mic to the 1/4" instrument input I get a strong signal; When I hook up my mic thru the (XLR) mic input I am getting a very very weak signal. What's going on...

    Got the Power!

    line-in I will need a different connector then, left and right to go into the line in. Is that right? I didn't think of this thank you for bringing it up. I will probably get a Sure57 mic and Audiophile 2496 soundcard. Sound good??

    pesky buzzzz

    Just got a preamp for my mic and wow what a difference? Problem is I can still here a low buzzing sound in the background when I bring the levels up to where I like them and I don't really know how to get rid of it. Any ideas? Will a good condensor mic help with this?

    Mic for Audigy 2 ZS

    Speaker hook-up Great advise thank you. Right now there are no speakers hooked up to the mic that I am recording from because the room is small. Is it possible to hook up speakers to the recording mic or do I need another speaker for that purpose? I would like to do this.

    Mic for Audigy 2 ZS

    Okay it looks like I bought an inferior soundcard when I thought I was getting a good one. Darn! Live and learn I guess. Can you all recommend a good one? The mic will be about 1-2 ft away as a stand alone for recording voice audio lectures from the platform. Should I go with a good condensor...

    Hey this is terrific! Final target is audio cd and data dvd for archiving about 30 years worth of lectures from reel-to-reel tapes plus recording live lectures now. Some lectures are over two hours and have several speakers so maybe I will make a wav file for each speaker and then put um all...

    wav file size limit

    When I record a wav file thru Audigy 2 for over an hour, all of a sudden the recording stops and I get a message saying "There is not enough disk space". I have 200GB free space. I record the wav file at 96 khz and 24 bit. Do I need to bring the khz level down? Will that sacrifice quality? Is...
