mic/tube interface
A number of pros known for good recorded tone (both Martin Simpson and Phil Keaggy come to mind) sometimes supplement a good mic signal with some pickup signal. The AST adds only a tiny bit of hiss above the mic pres on my board, and no hum; the #27 has much more hiss and noticable (but low level) hum (I was

Preamp Q: Tascam US-428 and bypass issue
Eww. That mic has an unbalanced cable, meaning it will be prone to pickup of interference. That's the reason it has such a short cord to begin with. Also, headphone cable is typically not well shielded since the signal there is high-level and low impedance. The mic signal is low level and higher impedance,

Blue Mic and the Q-10
I had to grab a Behringer DI100 and use it for it's 20db pad before the mixer to reduce the signal to a manageable level. Before I grabbed a DI, I would have either: A - Moved the mic away from the head or B - Rolled off some low end. Where are you placing the mic? Right at the hole? Inside the drum?

What soundcard has lowest noise on Mic input?
Phil Gerke Keep the PA low enough so that it can be heard but not effect the recorded audio. Also keeping the talent behind the PA speakers will help a lot.

AWE64Value-low level recording- Problem under WinNT4.0
For example, a high quality mic may deliver a very low output. Your input circuit may auto-boost amplification to try to compensate; but, the result may be to obtain an audible recording with greatly increased noise. (Your signal-to-noise ratio at the input is too low.) By the way, the mic supplied with Hyperstudio

Shure 520DX aka Green Bullit
Some artists will swivel the mic to be at right angles to the path of their breath to act as an effective low pass filter during sibilant passages. Sibilance can gets harder One key to sibilance control is to have separate mic signal for each of the vocalist(s) that has sibilance problems. You skip this step,

Whats the best INTERNAL microphone..?
Start by using low-Z microphones. If the mikes are switchable, make sure they are set for low-Z, and make sure the cables are using the balanced 600 ohm XLR's, wired properly. If you find one that gives you a radio signal, disconnect it and recommect all the others -- and see if it's still "quiet.

Where does the return in unbalanced lines goes?
1) I feel like the recording level is really low, that it's not supposed to be so low. The UA-30 has a guitar/mic signal volume control that controls the level of the input, but even at the highest setting, when recording, say a vocal line, mouth within an inch of the mic, the volume of the recorded wave seems low,

Wired talent in addition to PA system.
The only difference in sound was that mine has a tiny bit more low frequency. Then we played the two crystal mics that I carry around with me but rarely use. Maybe the additional grit comes from the higher amplifier volume used with the lower mic signal. It was nice to use an amp capable of turning up loud

Direct boxes and levels
I found a way to EQ the cab and speaker itself -- not just the mic signal coming out. This did the trick. Instead of driving the tube power amp directly into the cab, I insert an EQ .... You have to use high-power tubes; low-power tubes, or preamp tubes as power tubes, cannot produce the classic power-tube sound.

Whirlwind mic signal splitter
Just one question, how does the current generated by the mic get to the base of the transistor? Just imagine the diode as a nonlinear resistor with a fixed voltage drop, a medium DC resistance, and a very low differential resistance. Why should it not pass the mic signal along to the base, provided it's biased

The volume control for the mic to the computer would then be adjusted on the aux 2 send knob on the mic channel (you also have the channel trim to adjust if the overall signal is too hot or too low on the mic channel). Whatever you did with Aux 1 sends and return (adjusting them for reverb), the mic channel level
