1/4" headphone adapter to 1/8" Y cable that splits (to RCA?). two double female adapters there if you need extra reach with an RCA to RCA cable. And an RCA female to 1/4" TS connector x2. Basic stuff that you can get from Radio Shack. But you have RCA outputs on the 840 thing. So just run...
Not very musical of me, but I've been doing the audio on my new origami youtube channel with the AT3035.
YouTube - Origami Rabbit from a US dollar bill
Granted that my backend is a bit better than those other interfaces. AT3035 -> Audio Magic Extreme cable -> Sound devices MM-1 -> MR-1000 and...
It's mostly because I've never heard of the Art USB interface. And I've had their $30-ish (used to be $90-ish) Art Tube MP preamp and it mostly sucked.
It depends on your needs. Are you looking at 16/48 or less sampling rates? M-Audio Mobile Pre, Emu 0404, Edirol UA-25, and others for not a...

Item #7 - master out - RCA Left and Right.
That's your best bet there. You can use the headphone out too, but you've got to put the volume to like...
The mic maybe, the interface maybe not. Although probably not any worse than the ADC with most USB mics. It will open up some options. Like putting a higher end preamp between the mic and interface. But I haven't really been impressed with Arts low end preamps (< $100 a channel).
Given that...
In theory sure. But the probability in this demolition derby called life...? The odds of taking the same breath while standing in exactly the same location. The odds that there's not going to be some sort of power flux from the utility provider, or the same flux as last time... That the...
If you're expecting quality, then expect to spend at least $500 for basic capability. Unless you plan on converting everything to midi first and then back to synthesized sound. At which point you're probably still talking $500 for the computer and software stuff. But it really depends on how...
But a lot of the lower budget mics have a sweet spot. And if you say scoot the chair out to use the bathroom and come back to be at a different orientation to the mic, you might not get the sound you want. Until you move again, or the mic moves. My AT3035 seems to sound better at a yard out...
Well when I first started using it (first XLR mic I ever owned), I was using the back side of it. And when I figured that out, and turned it around, it was different, but not way different. Of course having an after market shock mount that covered the logo up didn't help in that realization...
Are you wanting to sample the sound of that keyboard? Or just record the midi events to reproduce that (or close to it) sound or other sounds from those events (barking spiders)?
1/4" output would likely be a mono line out. Or TRS output. Or termed balanced connection and other wording...
Any reason that you cannot address the high end bump with some EQ? As in for someone else that doesn't know how to do that? A lot of LDC mics are going to have the high end bump to enhance the spoken word clarity of a voice (i.e. flattering versus transparent). AT3035 is a decent cheap one...
clip 4 gives you the specs. Rode NT4 and a FP24, which is just a rebranded sound devices MixPre (2?). Which is probably pretty heavy in concert with the mic + camcorder + preamps + cables + .....
I've got a similar setup with Avenson STO-2's x2 spaced at about 17cm. But they're OMNI mics so...
Some of that is the context of the comment. My trombone has overtones / harmonics that sound in addition to the perceived note. These can interact with other things and even itself. It's why an F above middle C sounds different when played in 1st, sharp 4th, or 6th. Even though it's...
Ribbon mics tend to be nice. They can take a lot of SPL and keep on going. They don't have a lot of frequency bandwidth so it's like a built in brick wall filter. Which can be useful if you're not the type to do a lot of editing in post. The figure 8 pattern can be a blessing or a curse...
Pops from the interface is normally a resource issue. I/O bottleneck, or CPU over taxed, and other computer version of excuse me while I clear my throat. (or failing hardware)
It could also be mechanical noise. Unawareness of smacking the instrument while playing, or tapping the foot on the...
I think there might be some minor diff in EQ traits. The a version has a pretty slick low end, but kind of dips in the baritone voice. Works really well on most female type voices because of the EQ. And bass guitar, tuba, bass trombone (but not tenor trombone). The cl version tries to be...
If you're looking for something like an AT4033a on a budget. The AT3035 is kind of neat. Low noise, flatter EQ and other things. Might do well on guitar. But I still think that the 40xx series is a lot more buttery sounding. The 3035 can come across a bit harsh at times. Something which...
It's a never ending battle of staying near budget. And going with something that sounds like the instrument. OR something that sounds like everyone elses recording(s) of said instrument. The main issue with ultra cheap mics, is that they're not that honest of mics and be very hit and miss...
Well, there's cheap, then there's good. The two don't always agree. It would help if you stated a budget and an ultimate goal, and the short term goal.
But basically outside of all in one devices like a Zoom H4n or Q3 (with video). Or kind of cheap, but not really, items like an iPhone...
Yeah, old tape recorder and recording a new track while playing along karaoke style with the previous track ala stereo. But I didn't count there either. No current day evidence that such an event ever took place. And that whole reproduction of a reproduction thing. i.e. Cloning has it's limits.
