Yes. See if you can do without.jckinnick wrote:Question so these connectors im using they will cause resistance as well?ChrisCo wrote:jc, you gotta take into account that you're working with the conduction of electricity. The "electricity" is the signal you want to hear; the "hiss" is "residual signal" you don't want to hear (like electricity bleed from other sources). The more stuff you run through, the weaker you make the "electricity" (signal), which means you gotta make it louder which means the "residual signal" becomes louder... hence more hiss. "Clean" means the purest "signal to noise" ratio, which means you've got to find a way to use the least amount of pieces of gear possible.
(I'm probably going to get flamed on this one... it IS kind of a bad example)
edit: oh yeah, I was going to say... this fuckin' thread is one part hysterical, one part brutal... jc, way to experiment at least man... but you've got to ask questions with the language everyone else can understand as well
I'm all about a little kick and snare

so, jckinnick, have you actually learned anything from this thread yet? it is pretty amazing.... you need ot work on developing your concept of signal flow. and your english language vocabulary. chords are three or more notes played at the same time, CORDS are cables. inputs are where the signal goes into the preamp/converter/whatever... outputs are where the signal leaves an item.
the correct way to describe signal flow is from it's origin (i.e. guitar, microphone, keyboard) through whatever processing or preamplification occurs (naturally, going into the inputs and out of the outputs...) and finally to whatever the capture medium.
so, lelts say something really difficult like:
guitar > overdrive pedal > pod > multitrack
note that the arrows are an indication of the signal flow.
now.... have you actually been able to solve any of your problems? trace them down? if not, the suggestions that you stick to acoustic shows might not be too far off.
if you cannot develop good porblem solving skills, you cannot make good recordings... there is always something fucking up or needing to be fixed, and you need to be able to do things like read manuals and systematically examine a signal chain to find the problem... the interwebs won't always be able to help you in a pinch.

That's too confusing... try this:toaster3000 wrote:

∑ guitar </= overdrive pedal - pod + (cos[64 deluxe reverb] / (tan(Δ cbs)))~multitrack

The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.
