not that i know of. My only problem is that the signal is just not strong enough, like i am not getting enough gain. i think perhaps another pre might fix that. anton

You are right, it does sound empty. Thats exactly the impression i have been getting when listening back to my stuff. I guess perhaps i should try an omni, as i feel that i want to hear more of the room, or at least a bigger impression of the sound. anton

signal chain By the way, the recording is a single 603 off the 10th fret about two feet away point down at a 45 degree angle or so. The gain on the Mbox is at the three o clock position, five o clock would be full. anton

Hi Everyone, I am looking for a sensitive mic for fingerstyle guitar. I currently own a pair of the MXL 603's. Would something like the Earthworks SRO be more sensitive than what i have now? What does one look for when determining mic sensitivity? See my thread titled "Need Preamp to...

recording Did some more experimenting today. Here is another example that i think is a bit better. I have one 603 pointed at about the 10th fret, about two feet away. It pointed at a 45 degree angle down towards the neck. The gain on the mbox pre is set at three o clock, five o clock would...

pre's So if i got a pre with more gain and added it to my signal chain would that perhaps fix things? I was looking at the DMP3, which has 66db of gain. However, you said the Mbox only has 50db, so if i got a DMP3 to strengthen the signal could that overload the Mbox Pre's? thanks anton

more tests Did some more experimenting today. I just cant get a good sound. I will post some more mp3's later. It seems to be when i get a strong enough signal into PT then the bass is strong, as i have a mini jumbo guitar. So when i back off from the mic so its about a foot and a half away...

usb cable Another thing that crossed my mind is that i am not using the original usb cable that came with the Mbox. I think its somewhere else or i may have lost it. I am just using a basic usb cable, but it does not have cylindrical converter thing on it, and the original cable did. Dont...

sound In contrast check a recording a buddy of mine did at his place. Guitar is a Larrivee L-03R. Earthworks TC20, Presonus Digitube into some sort of direct to cd recorder. This more of the sound i was hoping to achieve, clear and crisp, sounds like you are there. My recording sounds like...

recording the inputs are set to analog in pro tools. If you guys want i can zip up the whole session and make it available for download. It occured to me that i could have had the pre's set to line input on the mbox, but i am pretty sure they were set to mic. i will have to check that out...

recording Its plugged in via XLR. You are right, when i checked the peak level i was not playing any audio. Right now the wav size is at normal. It gets bigger if i crank the pre on the mbox almost to full, but then the signal is to strong and it clips. I have tried both pre's. Perhaps...

example Here is a small recorded example and a screen shot of the session. I used a single MXL 603 pointed at the neck body joint of my guitar about a foot away. I turned up the gain on my Mbox pre to 3/4 the way full. As you all can see, the wav form in pro tools is very small, even though...

mics Have you compared these to the Earthworks SRO, formerly TC20, i think? I was thinking about getting one of those, but a bit more for a pair of the Avenson's is worth saving up for. anton

Does anyone have any experience with these mics? I want something that works really well on fingerstyle accoustic guitar. I play instrumental celtic arrangements. I was thinking about checking out some Earthworks mics sometime, but then read the Avenson review on Mojopie. They seem similar...

levels When i Ctrl Click on the volume window it switches and says peak negative infinity except with the infinity symbol. Not sure what this means. Perhaps i should take a screen shot and post it. anton

rnp Is the RNP that big a step up from the DMP3? I am on a budget, but if its worth it, i should probably just wait and save up for an RNP.

pres my mics are about 15" away, with one at the 12th fret and another off the lower bout. Didnt have any luck figuring out the max volume on the track. I tried shift clicking on the volume window but all i could do was adjust the volume. I will say the distance between the peaks and...

mbox I will look at the levels when i get back from vacation. How would i determine the peak levels? Just look at the wav form and see the highest that it goes? Or is there a specific way to do it? thanks anton

Hi, I have an Mbox, a pair of MXL 603's, and a pair of RP5's as monitors. I have primarily trying to record solo instrumental fingerstyle guitar. My problem seems to be that i can never get a strong enough signal into Pro Tools. I have a pretty light touch on the instrument. I have to crank...

thanks for the link on that mic mount. its what i need. anton
