Hey,
I'm trying some recording of my amplifier and i find that my mic audio is so low. my gear is:
Fender Blues Jr
Shure SM57
ART MPA Gold Mic Preamp
Basically, i have the mic about 2 inches dead center in front of the amp and with i have to crank all the knobs on the preamp.
the preamp has an input gain and i need to put that around +40dB
the preamp has an audio output knob and i need to put that around +10dB
Those are maxed out for the values.
In addition, I have to toggle the +20dB switch as well
Is this normal? I heard that Shure SM57 are low sensitivity mics... but, i didn't think that low.
Any opinions?
