I want to record bass thru DI and mic the cab as well at same time. What DI/Audio box would accept both signals... I dont care about eating up 2 seperate tracks...

Any recommendations...

Thanks,

Jim

What's a good and reasonably priced (new or used) 4-ch. instument direct-box? I would be hooking it up to a transformer-balanced mic preamps on a console on a regular basis.

Hello, i'm French student in audio and i would like to find information to write a memory on DI (activ and passiv)
the exact subject is when using a DI, why, and for which instrument
i hope that professional could help me and other users
my mail is:lorenzo.fargas@wana…
thanks a lot

The subject sums it up - the XLR output is about 20% the volume of the unbalanced output. Surely a faulty unit? As a newbie, I may be missing something. I mailed Tech21, still awaiting a response.

If it is faulty the trouble is, I bought it from America, and have a demo deadline to meet. So I am not particularly keen on sending it back for replacement.

Hi there every one
I am mixing a project in the style of stranz and Farah. . The chap that recorded it just went DI for all the guitar parts, since he didn't have any mics, at his disposal.

I am looking for something to record bass directly into my daw and also use live, preferrabley tube. I don't need a lot of bells and whistles, mostly just a preamp and compression type piece. I've already tried the Pod Pro for bass and didn't like it. I want something simple but of high quality. My budget is $1000. I've been considering several options which include:

Here's a subject I don't recall being discussed lately. It seems many mic preamps these days have high-z DI jacks built in. In my case I've got 'em on my API 3124+, Vintech 1272, TUBE TECH MP-1a, and Demeter H-series. I also happen to have dedicated DI boxes in the form of an Avalon U5, anda couple of Countryman Type 85 FET's.

For everything a DI is supposed to do, I want a killer. How does the DI portion of the Pendulum MDP-1 compares with the DW FEARN or the EVIL TWIN? Same league? For general DI applications, mostly sweetening synth sounds...on the way into the DAW... Which one of these machines would you choose? And why? Awe scew it...I'm going to get the Pendulum first...
