which preamp? which mic?

Forums

what's up everybody? i'm new to the forum but been on it for a while. anyway i've been driving myself crazy on looking for a new mic and preamp mainly for vocals. i heard good things about the summit audio 2ba-221 and like the price. i also was looking at the universal audio la-610. which is double the price and a channel strip. which may be important.

Recording volume problem. Is it mic/cable/preamp?

Forums

I am using an SM57 to record my guitar cabinet. At random times during a recording the volume level will drop signifigantly (like -10 dB) and randomly return to its normal level. It generally does not stay between the two extremes. Also the line can get a little noisy when this happens (not a lot like a loud hum, but noticable enough where it is annoying).
