ok, thank you.

please help, someone

also am I damaging my equipment when it goes into red? (mic/preamp/soundcard/headphone amp, headphone?)

I'm using an emu 0404 soundcard, and it says the input should be set so that the peak meter stays in the yellow region (to get maximum resolution due to digital). I have to turn the gain so high for this that the vu meter on my presonus tubepre goes into the red region. Is this bad, is there...

is it better than marshall mxlv67g for vocals?

ok thank you. I have a condenser: marshall v67g WHat is the cheapest decent pop filter I can buy (someone told me I can make one out of nylon, but that sounds like it's going to affect the sound a lot) on musiciansfriend it's $15.00, but that seems like a lot for the cost of my equipment

without a pop filter will I damage my mic/equipment or is it just for better recording

Will my mic/equipment get damaged if I sing into it without a pop filter or is it just for better sound?

here's the cable I'm connecting the preamp to the soundcard with: radio shack: 1' shielded instrument cord Do I need to switch this cable too?

oops. :o once or twice wouldn't have done harm?

good question: are you using a XLR to XLR cable? A TS 1/4 mono to XLR would work with a Dynamic but not work with the Condensor. sorry I don't know what TS 1/4 mono is (I know what XLR looks like). So I plug in the XLR into the mic and the other end has a 1/4" which I plug into preamp. that...

no friends with any gear either, all I have is a radio shack and best buy near me. do they sell anything I can use for testing (then I'll return it). I bought both from ebay and it's been like a week since I didn't open them so I don't want to wait longer (I live in a dorm and I don't have a...

yah the radioshacks a dynamic mic. yah the exact same cable, everything. all i do is take the plug out of the radioshack and put it into the v67g. Unfortunately these are the only 2 mics I have :( When i press the phantom power button with the dynamic radshack, there's a high volume distortion...

yah, phantom switch is pressed. there's a 'phase reverse' button, do I need to press this?

I've got an ART tube mp preamp hooked up to emu 0404, when I connect a radio shack mic it works (I can hear myself), but when I attach the v67g I get no signal.

got gear, but... I've bought an ART Tube MP and a marshall v67g now. Do I need a wind/pop filter? the mic says you need one because of moisture, but is it ok without? I don't want to destroy the mic.

man! I dont have the resources, the time, or experience to audition and pick and choose by differentiating "the sonic and tonal nuances each particular piece of gear provides." for headphones its taken me a while to do that with all the gear out there (ex. grado sound vs senn's vs ety's etc.)...

thanks for the help. (please don't crap on my soundcard and headphones though, it's hurts my pride as a head-fier, but I get the point that this is entry level consumer gear for recording) i'm recording myself :) i sing indian classical vocal, I want to get the most accurate reproduction of my...

as far as listening to music my soundcard and headphone's are as good as you can get. The $100 difference between 0404 and 1212m is barely noticeable in sound quality, same w/ senn 580 vs senn 650. maybe on this board you wont agree, but you can go to head-fi and look there so i dont know what...

Hi. I need a setup to record vocal. I'm looking for equipment that is on the threshold of hifi, for example, (i'm into headphones) I have an emu 0404 soundcard ($100) and sennheiser hd580 headphones ($110), and a cmoy headphone amp ($40). That equipment is (imo) on the threshold of the...
