Yeah, I figured that! But I can give you some negative rep if you want? :D

I think that 25 feet may exceed the reliable length for Toslink? If the snake is well made, you should not experience signal degradation.

Use the gain controls as much as you need to get your recording peaks at about -12dB FS metered in the DAW. Check that the metering is set to input so you are seeing the actual input levels. Judging by the specifications for your preamp, you should have no difficulty getting a suitable level...

In 2013, I believe it is trivial to design a clean, quiet, high performance (ie straight wire) preamplifier for not a lot of money, with multiple channels, and using high quality (but not boutique) electronic components. Current generation integrated circuit amps offer high linearity, very low...

Pop filters mainly protect the mic against bursts of air pressure produced by plosives - sounds that end with a burst of air (eg letter p or b). Put your hand a few centimeters in front of your mouth and say "pop". Feel what happens with the last "P". On most mics, this will create an...

Touché, mon ami!

Chip Quik. Chip Quik: Easy removal of surface mounted devices Marketed as a SMD removal kit, I used it to remove a through-hole resistor from a 2-sided through-plated board. It can be challenging to re-work a through-plated board, particularly if solder has wicked right through the hole. You...

The Coriolis effect is audible! And I, in my ignorance, never knew it. Oh, the ignominy!

This does pose the question of what to do if the mic is placed horizontally... :eek:

Do you know for certain that you will have problems running unbalanced? I confess that I am having trouble visualizing your intended set up, but couldn't you connect your preferred delay through the channel inserts of the solstice? You will then maintain balanced connection from the Solstice...

As far as I am aware, you can run VirtualBox host on Vista, and XP is certainly a supported guest OS. For best results, you need to switch on the BIOS virtualization features on the host machine. Regarding the "silly" comment, some users feel that going to the bother of setting up a virtual...

If it doesn't run straight up, you might need to fiddle around with some of the program compatibility settings. OR... create a virtual XP machine using VirtualBox. Not as silly as it may sound, especially on a current generation PC.

Did someone suggest using headphone out? The integrated stereo amp that the OP mentions seems to provide phono input and record/tape outputs which should be suitable, even if not high end. The OP has indicated that he/she wishes to spend a minimum on this project, so I think it would be...

A: Distortion that sounds nice

Great idea, and I think your dad would love to hear his old favourites. There are quite a few tutorials out there. But here are a few things to consider. 1 Between the turntable and the sound capture interface you will need a phono preamplifier. This is needed firstly to boost the small...

triquee, Did you completely remove the Presonus drivers before installing the Focusrite drivers? As some Windows drivers don't always completely uninstall, you sometimes need to resort to something like DriverCleaner to ensure that the unwanted driver/s are completely removed. As a...

Welcome aboard. Sit down, fasten your seat belt, and enjoy the ride!

The so-called Recorderman technique uses 2 mics, but I am not sure how it would go using dissimilar microphones. Recorderman overhead drum mic technique - Hometracked

I understand that some gamers have success with headsets from Senheisser. But I am not a gamer, and this site *is* primarily about music and voice artist recording. Anyway, all the best getting your issues sorted.

Hi rojaros, Unfortunately your link is not working for me. Could you fix it? I'd really like to hear your samples.
