Folks.
preparing to use my BR-8 for the first time to do a real band recording. bare bones style. but we will record the drums first mixed to 2 tracks, then add the guits, bass and vox later.
Last night I was experimenting with an SM57 (industry standard) pointed at the center cone of one speaker in my marshall 4x12. this mic ran right into the BR8 mic input. no effects were engaged at all. I set the sensitivity levels so no clipping would occur, and the lkine input level so that the input meter would get to maybe 1/2 way up.
well the sound was good and sounded liek the amp, but I was still getting a bit of digital noise. I playedaround with mic placement a bit, as well as adjusting those BR8 levels. But never got it completely gone. is this just a limitation of the machine? should I use my ART tube pre inline? should I use a diff mixer inline?
The head was a marshall 2204 set to basic riff rock AC/DC -esque crunch.
my experience with the BR8 has been only home direct in demos for a year or so, so this "live" is new to me.
