    Mixing a "One-Mic" Performance

    I record myself, often just piano and vocals with a figure 8 pattern...(or guitar and vocals). What would a "proffesional" do to it when mixing the wav.?

    I am a tiny bit concerned about the quality of the A/D converters in the MR-8... Does anyone actually know how good they are, compared to maybe some of the midpriced M-Audio sound-cards? Would you/99% of people actually "hear" the difference?

    Ever heard a "Classic Sounding" Demo ?

    Every SINGLE demo recording (I ain't heard many) I have heard, has in some way sounded inferior. How is this possible? :) I mean I've heard bootlegs (straight of the soundboard style) where the drums often sound fuller than i demo's. I suppose this often is due to the fact that the artist is...

    I bought a "M-Audio Tampa" from the US, and since I live in Europe, I bought a power converter (120v-220v). However, on the box it says: WARNING: Do not use with TV, PC, VCR and things with electronic circuitry. What will happen if i try it out? Is there a risk here? Thank You
