Difference Between Mic Line and Instrument Channels

Forums

Hey,
I've got a question about every interface I see. They all seem to have both Mic Inputs (XLR) and instrument inputs (1/4 In.) Whats the difference between them? For example. I've got a Firepod with 8 inputs. 1-2 are instrument/mic, 3-8 are mic line ins. They all have XLR / 1/4in jacks so why can't they all be instrument/mic inputs?

Thanks

boss sp-303 to isa 428 - use line or instrument inputs?

hello everyone, i'm just here late at night trying to break in my isa 428, and i have a question. actually, this really has nothing to do with the 428 per se, but rather how to run line outs from a sampler/mixer. When i used to use my PreSonus firestation, i would run the line outs of my boss sp-303 or Korg ms2000b into the line ins of the firestation.

VST Instrument installation in Nuendo

I'm a newbie in the game and I just wonder how do I install more vst instuments to nuendo?

A friend of mine have all these cool instuments and I want to install them onto my computer.
We use nuendo at school, but we haven't learned to install new instruments (propably because they're afraid of viruses etc).

Anyone know how to do it? :)

Focusrite ISA428 A/D (and instrument DI) vs. RME 8 io (&

Hola,

This is a multi-part question (as usual). Thanks for your patience.

I currently have an RME/Nuendo 8 i/o interface (48khz) going into a 002rack. I also use a Universal audio 2108 pre and I have 2 Avalon U5 DI's that I use for keyboards, Rhodes piano, and bass guitar.
