I figured that might be the case. But, the gain knob still fuctions so I assumed the preamp was still working. Although, I have to turn it almost completely up to get a good level. Guess I'll get me an XLR cable. Just wanted to make sure I needed to. Thanks!

I'm mic'ing my guitar amp with an sm57. The cable I have for my mic has a 1/4" balanced connector so I have to plug it into the line-in on the mixer. But, should I use a cable with an XLR connector instead of the 1/4" so I can plug into the mixer's XLR input? Will there be any difference in...

I'll give that a try, thanks :)

So you dont need to use a balanced cable?

That was an informative article, in a general sense but I'm still confused about the specifics. For instance, should the amp/mixer be turned up while the Windows line-in setting turned low? Or the other way around, etc? I assume the amp volume should be pretty high, but then if it's too high...

While I'm waiting on my new stuff to arrive, (sm57, behringer Eurotrack802 mixer, Audiophile 24/96,) I've been thinking about how to set my levels for recording. I'll be mic'ing my guitar amp to record 2 guitar tracks. I have several places to turn the levels up/down: - my amp - the mixer -...

Wow, that's a great price for a mixer! What kind of cable do you use to go out of the mixer, into the sound card? Will a standard guitar cable work?

Cool. Thanks for the responses!

Can it be done? I have a SB that I'd still like to use for games because it has 1/8" jack for my PC speakers. The other card is an Audiophile 24/96 but it only has RCA jacks. Can I run them both at the same time? Is it a good idea? Or, should I use some kind of RCA to 1/8" adapter and ditch...

Well after doing a bit of research, I've decided to go with the Audiophile 2496 and an sm57. The only question that remains is which pre? I've heard great things about the DMP3. But, not sure why I'd need two channels. What is the best SINGLE channel pre in the price range and quality of...

I'm definately leaning towards the SM57 and mabye the M Audio DMP3 (although I really don't need two channels.) I'm still not sure about the sound card. Maybe I should get the Edirol instead of a sound card? Any opinions on the Edirol vs. sound card? Charles, I've used normalize some but...

First off, I'm glad I found this great BBS as there's a lot of great info here! Thanks! I have a 2 part question, here's part 1: My setup: - 900Mhz AMD, 512MB RAM, plenty of disk space, using Cool Edit Pro 2.0 - Fender strat > effects chain > amp > headphones out to line-in SoundBlaster AWE...
