Hi, I've been recording bass through my 30-watt bass amps direct out (1/4" jack) to my sound cards line in (3.5mm jack). With pretty good results. I've heard that this is not the best way though?

So basically since i purchased this mic (in shipping) it's had me thinking about my signal chain and if
my other components will hold back quality? Signal chain right now is Shure KSM27 mic,Custom made XLR
with starquad sheilded cable with neutric XLR connectors,into MOTU 828mk2 then recorded into Logic Pro 8.0.2

Hi All,

Just taking the first few steps into the recording world and although I'm getting reasonable sound something is bugging me.

I am having trouble getting any signal from my Firestudio 26/26 to my Digi 003 control surface. I have it connected via a firewire cable plugged into the back of the 003, as well as lightpipe. The Firestudio CPL software recognizes that the preamp is connected, and even the Pro Tools Le software shows that I have eight ADAT inputs.

Please excuse my naivité, but I'm not sure how to work through a problem.

Hi Guys:

I have an Alesis 3630 compressor which -- based on how I am reading the documentation -- has two unbalanced channels which can be used separately or as the R-L sides of a stereo signal. I also have a PreSonus Firestudio Project.

Hey, so I have a question about mix down with my Toft ATB16. I have it set up in-line with the signal being returned to each channel so I can mix OTB with the ATB's EQ, etc. I don't have it set up currently so that I can mix down to a stereo track, which is ultimately an issue, come bounce time.

if a question like this one has been posted, i am so sorry.

i had a small argument with my bassist regarding the placement of the compressor. my chain is this: mic > preamp> e.q. > compressor.
his was: mic, >preamp, >compressor, > e.q.
both into the daw.

which would be the correct way? even if it is neither i welcome any suggestion.

I currently use an mbox2 as my interface/preamp/converters. I purchased a rackmount compressor, but am not sure of the correct way to hook it in the chain with my mbox...before the mbox?
