Hello everyone...first post here, and I'm glad this group is here.
First post, Polfus?
"Polfus"? You stuck in the past, my man?
Why would you go there?
To r.a.p., you mean
If its important to you, yes. I gotta say, Eddie:
"First of all, I'm not 100% in love with your tone right now."
Still..I appreciate your reply, from here on out:
The 609's should have enough output to get above white noise level.
The fact that you're getting room noise would indicate that your amp
is not turned up far.
Exactly...you're right.
I'm sure you have the mic close to the speaker,
so it's probably that you're trying to keep your neighbors happy but
playing at whisper levels.
Yup...thats what I was referring to...*really* quiet, so thats why I
went direct with the XLR out into my M-Audio Fast Track.
That's considerate, but you probably want
to build a small sound-proof enclosure for your amp so you can crank
it a bit.
That would be cool..except I don't have the room for it, nor the
patience to build a box, and especially don't wanna take it in and out
of the isolation box whenever I waana record or play!
It should sound better if you mic it.
Yeah...I agree..the mic'd sounds are indeed better in a way, but the
direct out does have a certain smoothness that I enjoyed. I think I
shall try to blend the direct and mic'd sound like Ron suggested.
Thats a very good suggestion, IMHO.
You're connecting your audio ground to the computer ground. A few
different ways for things to go wrong there.
Yeah..I was wondering about that, especially after Ron mentioned that
may be a problem if I have it set-up that way..but its the only way to
do it with the gear I have for recording so far.
Stay with the mic. The iso box will help filter outside noise as well
as keeping your neighbors happy. If necessary, get a small speaker cab
and build a small iso box around that. Unplug the main speaker, of
course. Use a good guitar speaker with same impedance as your cab.
Hell...maybe one day I *will* get a seperate isolation box w/speaker
in it..I think they are already built for these applications..I forgot
where I saw it....
Anyone else experienced this?
Everyone at some point.
Except those that aren't recording or doing the direct out
thingie..right?
Peace,
( call me whatever you want here, I guess ).
