A little correction: You do not need phantom power for the SM57 because it is not a condenser mic. It is a dynamic mic, which does not use phantom power. At any rate, the most practical option would seem to be the iRig Pre at about $40. Want better, spend way more. But if you're spending way...

Two thoughts. First, you may be having a problem with line level voltage if you have your keyboard phone level at zero when recording. You certainly want to avoid overloading the signal, which will clip like crazy if you're not careful. But don't turn it completely off. Just nudge it a little...

You'll need to do a classic troubleshoot on this. If you think you may have isolated the issue as likely involving the fast track, then start again with that unit. First - cables. I would change out the patch cord from the pod to the fast track. Clean the input jack on the fast track. Clean the...

As a general rule, the more devices you have in a signal path, the more noise you will be adding to the signal. That will raise what is known as the "noise floor" - the level of background noise that is difficult to remove. The noise floor keeps rising as you add more channels, so an important...

Both the Mackie Onyx and the A/H Zed require an external recording device. As I interpreted the OP's initial request, he asked whether there was anything on the market that (a) allowed for live mixing and (b) also recorded at the same time without the use of an external device. There are such...

I dunno, but the bigger question to me is why you would ever want to take that approach. The idea here is that it is usually best to record a clean signal and to manipulate it later. If you attempt to manipulate the signal before capturing it, as you would with a live sound mixer, all you are...

So that's the problem. :eatpopcorn:

You'd be a great foil on stage for Ozzy.

I have a Delta 66 and thought about installing it in another machine I have that uses Windows Vista Home (64 bit) - and found no drivers for it. So you may have to upgrade the Delta the next time you upgrade the computer itself, anyway. Right now I'm scratching my head, because I'd like to...

I record audio live using a Tascam im2 plug in mic and a free app called voice record pro. Check the companion file management thread here. Works well given that the storage space may limit you to mp3/4 formats. However v.7 will record to .wav format. So the potential may be real here.

Merry Christmas Greg! :listeningmusic:

No wonder I'm a walking pepperoni pizza.

At the risk of hijacking the thread and turning it political, consider this scenario. It may not actually be the grains that triggered your immune system, but the poisons those grains are soaked in. If you do some wiki research on roundup and roundup ready grains, you may find it sobering...

I've fought with asthma all my life. As a kid it had me on the ropes most of the time, and much of it I outgrew with adulthood. But there are long term consequences. I lived on steroids - hydrocortisone pills - all through my childhood. It was what you did. Inhalers were basically ephedrine and...

The Voice Record Pro app has a "send to Google Drive" button. The learning curve is kinda like like dropping a rock - works first try. I don't want to become a shill for the program, but it has great and simple file management capabilities. Here's an iPad screen shot - phone has the same...

Fantastic. Are you going to wind the pickups or is there someone local who can build to spec?

Yep. There's a sucker born every minute. The first problem with these claims is that so much energy goes into the asshat marketing that it is sickening. The second thing, is that electromagnetic radiation doesn't behave the way they claim, so the claims defy physics. Lack of oxygen is great if...

I'm recording live music on my iPad using an app called Voice Record Pro. It will capture in .mp4 format. I can convert to .mp3 on the iPad. The app lets me do all kinds of stuff with I/O. I chose the Google Drive option. From the iPad I can upload the track (or tracks) to my google drive...

Inquiring minds are curious. I still have my DPS16. The I/O is dreadful but the preamps are fine, fine, fine. So - anyone else still using the DPS16 or the DPS24(drool)?

OK! So here's a tune from last Sunday's Vermont Fiddle Orchestra concert. It's a rough live track and you can tell its a bit far away from the musicians. I had the iPad sitting on a podium in the church we were performing in, so the second fiddler's back was to the mics. But the Tascam mics...
