Hey guys, (first thread... pshhyeahh)
... I have a new SM57 that i'm trying to record electric guitar with. i saw some other thread on this, but it didn't help me much, if at all.
so here's my setup/issue... i'm plugging the SM57 into an el cheapo "Califone Presentation Pro PA-300" via XLR (says "Mic In Balanced"), with the Impedance on "low", then on the 1/4" "Line Out" jack i have a 1/4" to 3.5mm (headphone jack) adapter, and i have the 3.5mm wire going into the "Line In" port on my computer... i'm recording using Mixcraft 5.
it sounds HORRIBLE, on anything not just the amp, even when i pick it up and talk into it. it sounds extremely muffled... i'm trying to use the PA-300 thingy as a pre-amp...
any help?
