    most mixers allow u to switch to +48V for all XLR inputs dynamic mics wont be affected by phantom power, at all. only ribbon mics should not be connected to a phantom powered output, it could destroy them (so i have heard). its good to ask before, rather then buying a mic and ruining it due to...

    two guitars in amp with one input

    im ready to get laughed at, but i'm really curious if this would work, and/or if it would damage the amp or whatever.. lets say i want two guitars running directly into one amp. but it has only one input, so i use an adapter (2 jacks to stereo) good? not good? stupid?

    normalizing

    i see.. but why is that so? if we are all aiming to get our levels as high as possible, to not sound like a whisper compared to commercial cds, then why is that a useless bit of processing? :confused:

    normalizing

    does normalizing (so is it called in cubase, raising/lowering audio to a specified amount of db..) lessen the quality of the affected clip? i mean it probably does, more or less.. but when is it critical, or how much of a boost should i avoid? as for the usage: after i recorded, i would use it...
