Have a look at this,,https://www.valvewizard.co.uk/ Also, PM on its way. Dave.

There is an episode of the cook Rick Stein in Hamburg(?) where he is met by a lady who plays and sings 'I saw her standing there' on a uke. Brilliant she was and I wanted to record the piece for my son in France...total Beatles nutcase, but they have NEVER shown it since! Dave.

Bear with.... You don't need a third party app, see the screen shot from Audacity, a really useful audio recorder and editor and totally free. I would also not use a tone for a reference signal it can give misleading results due to standing waves and 'phase' issues. Constant tones also drive...

Hang on there! If you are going for two 502s you don't need another HP amp. The mixer your end gives you your monitor feed and the second mixer takes the line out from the first and delivers the second headphone output. That mixer could be close to you or fed over a pair of TRS cables if you...

"I am now realizing that that sound mixer only allows the capability to receive output via one phone jack, so monitoring wouldnt work, even if I bought an XLR headset with mic. am I understanding that correctly?" Yes indeed. However the headphone output is pretty robust and would stand a 2 way...

Not to steal your thunder S but yes, this had crossed my mind! The setup would be much as my Skype deal. Senny headset, dongle, laptop but in the OP's case he would send the signal to the remote headphones. A decent quality USB mic would serve. One complication is the music. Could be put on...

The headset I linked to terminates in 3.5mm TRS jack plugs. That connected to a laptop via a USB dongle called "SABRENT". About $10 on Amazon. My requirement was not as "noise/quality critical" as yours but the performance was really very acceptable. Unfortunately friend I think you are going...

Jrodrz, you are in much the same position as the tyro who is just starting recording Voice Overs with a computer. They, like you are trying to capture soft speech and the microphone will stubbornly pick up every sound around. The fixes are the same in each case (with one exception) and...

If you have the exact schematics of each stage you could make a fair stab at the gain but it won't be very accurate. In the absence of the right kit to do it I think I would "measure" gain using a sound source. A speaker reproducing pink noise (Audacity can generate that) and set a specific...

Ok, headphones from mixer to client no problem and the cable can be almost any length you want. Yes, phone should feed the RCA skts famously. What is the microphone you are "wearing"? You need to find an adapter to get that to work into the XLR socket on the mixer. There are various wireless...

Does this need to be two way communication? You say you "wear a microphone" is that a headset and will the client do the same? For a cheap wired* solution I would suggest a couple of Behringer mixers, the Xenyx 802 comes to mind. One will allow your mic send plus music and the second feeds your...

Ah! Valves. The gain of an individual valve stage is very dependent on the circuit design and "u" is only a part of the picture. Stage gain is given by A= uRa/Ra+ra. Where Ra is the anode (plate) load and ra is the anode slope resistance of the valve*. But the ACTUAL load on the stage can be...

I agree with Rich, you must know the gain of each pre amp but as I said before, that is not easy to do unless you have some pretty specialized kit. Also not fair to have a shorted input. The noise performance of an amplifier is sensitive to the terminating impedance and each pre should be...

Wireless link kit has improved massively in the last 20 years or so. For the ultimate in such systems treat yourself to the current copy of Sound on Sound in which there is a review of the fabulous Sound Devices wireless gear range. You will sit down and stop drooling however when you check the...

Good morning Quesne, I don't know your technical knowledge level nor what equipment/software you have to hand so please excuse any "grannie's eggs" factor in this reply! To get consistent and translatable (to other people) noise measurements it is important to have a specified MO. That means...

"Once Upon a Time" we had no problems with exchanging audio signals. This was because,... 1, the only people who needed to do it were in broadcasting or recording studios and had degrees in electrical engineering! And, 2, the only amplifying device was a valve and everyone knew what they were...

No not "better" sound nor worse, it just brings the output of the pre amp inline with the sensitivity of the interface. There are only two reasons I can see for using an external pre amp with an interface, especially these days when AIs have remarkably good pre amplifiers...my MOTU M4 certainly...

This "level interchange" problem is one experienced quite often by people who try to connect gear such a s mic pre amps and mixers to interfaces. The OP is quite fortunate with the UFXll because the line inputs can handle up to +19dBu (and a bit I bet being RME!). Many AIs clip at +12-+16dBu...

Ah, I wasn't clear. When you have a room well 'lagged' so as to kill virtually all reverberation the resultant dull sound can often be improved by sitting on a few sq mtrs of hardboard. But I can see you are in good hands. Dave.
