I agree. Play and write riffs better with a little smoke in me. Beer makes me think I can play, or play better, ...but no. Not even close.

Good points. Sure they may be splitting hairs when a signal degrades enough to be an issue. I would think 100' or 100/yds may not be near the difference on a stage at 2000 watts as it might be in a studio. But I think what they were really over-emphasizing was xlr cables are constructed...

Good point. I'm very familiar with the twisted pair theory. That's the way the phone land lines are in most everyone's house. But look at the distances a basic TV cablevision cable has to run on telephone poles, and that is one core and one foil shield - along with a wire mesh for strength so...

Sounds more like a bull bell. (You said humor you.) Yeah, it sounds like a smaller one.

Good point. Unless your adapter bridges the twisted pair for the hot signal. I imagine not optimal, but better. Although I'm not sure they all use the twisted pair for the core. I've heard of some with double and triple surround shielding. I wonder if an inner shielding could be used for one of...

You have a point sort of, but even unbalanced it's still an xlr cable with the better quality core and shielding and all. IMO it's the quality of the cable itself that makes it good for longer distances, and more expensive too. But anyway, I said everyone else had good advice for the OP...

Most of the knowledgeable sources disagree with you Bobbsy. Everything you were Afraid to Ask about Cables...

OP, you got plenty of good advice about the phantom power and interfaces. A full interface also lets you plug in an instrument with a 1/4" cable, and some also have midi in/out. You have more options with an interface, not to mention a way to get it into a computer/daw. The xlr cable's main...

Nice pedalboards.

I think the songs from re-runs of The Wizard of Oz when I was a kid, but the ones that really stuck with me was the albums Camelot and South Pacific (or whatever the names) that my teacher played in Kindergarten. I still remember bits and pieces today.

^^^ Those are good suggestions. Reaper is another daw good for minimal hardware because the code has been optimized from the ground up. If your guitar amp has an aux output you can run that into your interface, or mic it of course. Be sure to get enough inputs if you're going to record more than...

The AKG-240 also. You should look real hard at those. The are on Amazon right now for $80. The 240 Mk-II for $118. The ATH-M50 is $150. The DT770 Pro is $164. You can look them up yourself, and read the reviews at the bottom of the page on Amazon for more opinions. I posted that review page so...

Linux is a good platform. Very stable, and takes better advantage of resources - i.e. runs as fast with a little less meat under the hood, and has a lot of free software that may be lesser known, but is equally effective. A good example is Ubuntu Studio. It is setup with Video, Audio, and...

My new portable recording studio: :D Actually I'm going to start on a very modest one before too long, and I'm using many pictures in this thread for ideas and typical setups. Awesome thread! :thumbs up:

I was just trying to be cute and funny and make the new member feel welcome. Thanks!

This link has a comparison review. - Podcast Software Review 2014 | Best Podcasting Software | Radio, Video, Music, Audio Podcast Software - TopTenREVIEWS I would think even freeware would be good enough for what you're doing - I don't know what OS you're using so I'll list a few for Windows XP...

Welcome Jens. It's always good to see some chicks joining to add balance. I have been assigned your Cabana Boy to bring you mixed drinks and massages to make your stay more comfortable. :D Just joking

The number 1 resource in my book is this forum. What a forum I stumbled into! Some of the most knowledgeable people in one place that I have ever seen. I wonder if the Admin knew this forum would take on the life of its own like it has. :D

I'm thinking this ^^^ I suggest getting regular/better podcast software and using a two mic interface like a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. Keep in mind I could be totally wrong, but I think this would solve multiple problems for you. You wouldn't have to have high quality mics, but certainly face...
