Samson MDA1 direct box question
I have a fender jazzmaster that generates a lot of hum in the system. Have a Samson MDA1 direct box. Will this reduce the hum? I'm going into a ZED10FX mixer, into the GTR1 HiZ channel. If it will help, is there anything I should know about hooking it up? Thank you

BSS AR-133 and Neve Portico 5012 for bass?
hi,
I borrowed a Portico 5012. intend to use it on electric bass, but it has no jack hi-z in. So, what is the best way to connect the bass to it... I have a BSS-133. could it be used, and how would the setup be to the UA apollo interface. A mic or line signal?
regards

Direct box the Reddi by A-Designs
I just got the chance to use this live . I can say that it really helps rounding out the sound for the bass . My bassist loved the tone . I have other pieces of their gear and I'm very satisfied with all of it .
Any other people had any experience with this DI or any others . Would love to know what and how other people are using them .

Hi everyone
I'm just getting into doing some home recording and have a question which I'm sure is very simple but it's something that's been bugging me for a little while.

Good DI boxes?
Hey all,
I was looking around and couldn't find a thread on this(maybe I missed it). I was looking for a really good phantom powered, reamping DI box. What are some really good ones that are reliable. I would be interested in buying a tube DI as well. What are your thoughts?
I found some countryman type 85 on craigslist for cheap. Any feedback on this DI box?
Thanks,

Connecting E.Gtr via DI box into mixer: Mic vs. Line input?
Greetings all,
If I have to plug my guitar direct into a mixer during a live gig through a direct box, what is the difference when connecting the other end into the mic input vs the line input of the mixer? Is it better going into the mic input, if so, why?
Thanks for any advice!
How do you record bass using a passive DI box + a mic?
Hey guys I'm wondering how to record bass using a passive DI box and a mic so that I can have 2 signals going into Pro Tools. I've never recorded with two signals before so I'm not real clear on how to hook everything up.
I'm using an Mbox with two inputs. So for one signal I go from the mic to the Mbox right?
Active DI Boxes?
Hi Folks
I currently have a Radial JDI. It sounds good. I'm fairly happy with it as am I with the DI on my Portico 5016. As quantative needs are increasing, I'm in the market for another one or two DIs. I have been reading opinions that Active DIs (in general) are better for guitars and basses. Is this true?

New problem with me little labs red eye and other Di boxes!
I have had a new problem develop today in the studio with my Di boxes and my AWESOME Little Labs Di/Re-amper boxes. Everything sounds fine UNTIL I plug the XLR cable into them.
