Make sure the 10db PAD on the mxl 990 is NOT engaged. Make sure the icicle volume is turned all the way up, and the 48V phantom power is on. What software are you recording into on your computer? Check your settings there too.

He is correct about the hookup to the front jack with line in engaged - that is what I was talking about above in post #5. But I doubt it will bypass the preamp. However, you can turn up the trim on the interface and find out - if the volume increases, you are not bypassing its preamp. You...

Yes, that interface has phantom power (see the 48V button on front panel - probably applies to both mic inputs, so both inputs will have phantom on or off). Yes, the MXL990 requires phantom power. No, I don't think the quality of your selections will suit your needs for long. See here for...

stealth speaks wisdom. SM58 ($100) Emu 0404 USB ($200) KRK RP5 pr ($300) This is stuff you will keep for a long long time, and it will serve you well. You won't be happy for long with all that Behringer stuff.

You don't need a mixer - use your recording software for that stuff. Try this: used Oktava MK319 > Apogee Duet > Mac An good option for the mic is a Rode NT-1a but it would be more expensive than a used MK319 . Another good option for the interface is Emu 0404 USB which has good...

Something bad can always happen. If it you let it, it will. There are no guarantees in this world. Even if you use the right TS end, you still need to worry about putting a TS (unbalanced) jack into a TRS (balanced) output. I suggest you now email GAP support for how to connect the TRS...

Now that your room is treated, you might try a subwoofer to go with your Tannoys before upgrading monitors. A bass man might appreciate a subwoofer. Takes a bit of effort to balance the subwoofer with your monitors. Note that some experts say a subwoofer can add more problems than it solves...

The Y cable is an insert cable, to be used with your insert connection. So the TRS on the left end of the cable pic goes into your insert on the back fo the fast track interface. One of the TS ends goes into your preamp output. However, only one of the TS ends connects to the "ring" of the...

I have several of the LDCs that have been polled or discussed here. They are all worthwhile having, but I wind up using some more than others. Here is how I rank them for vocals and acoustic guitar (most use to least use): vocals: NT-1a SPB3 MK319 M179 AT3035 guitar: MK319 NT-1a AT3035 M179...

Page 5 of his Fast Track Pro manual says the inserts are Ring return.

Page 3 in your Fast Track Pro manual says the XLR input is unaffected by the Inst/Line button - the button only works if you have a 1/4" cable connected. Use XLR connector on the Fast Track Pro for mics, use TRS for a preamp. Page 5 in your Fast Track Pro manual says inserts are between...

Other good interface options since you are on a Mac are the Apogee One and Duet. Both are more $ than the Emu 0404 USB.

Maybe we should just try to name something he DOESN'T have. Art Tube MP?

+1 on everything in xyster's detailed reply All you would need is: NT-1a > Emu 0404 USB > Mac via USB, running Reaper Attach your monitors to Emu's main outputs and your headphones to the headphone output. You can also attach computer speakers to the mini-jack output beside the main...

Another 2 cents.

There is my 2 cents.

I was talking about the line input on the front - you would use the mic/inst combo jack with the gray button (inst/line) to the upper left pushed in so the source is set to line. This may not bypass your interface's preamp, so you would turn the interface gain all the way down and use your...

Chain is correct. Preamp output is line level so it goes into the LINE input on your interface, not the mic/inst. Preamp provides phantom power to the mic - turn off the phantom power on your interface.
