This is an awesome thread. My bass player just got an upright and I had no idea how to mic it... some pretty interesting ideas here.

I thought so anyway...

Like Nick Sevilla said, it matters a lot more with unbalanced lines, since a longer cable will pick up more noise. It's also a good idea to keep things like guitar cables short, since the output impedance of a (passive) guitar is a lot higher than that of a microphone. Generally, higher impedance s...

Does the change in room mate status have any relationship to the length of the snake? That is the "qestion"! :twisted: Onna serious note, if the garage is "unfinished" - and I know not your location - but will it require insulation and HVAC? Not mine...

Dude, I was just looking through some ooooold PM's and one was from you offering to sell me a Topaz... which i was totally looking for at the time... Glad you snagged another one!

I have only used it so far to transfer stuff to digital. I got for free so I am still figuring out how to work it into the system. Next purchase will be a board and more patchbays. However I did use this machine when it was at a friends studio and it was really fun to hit hard with drums. FREE!!! n...
