Tips on recording for a newbie

<< < (4/4)

virelai:
Thank you.

I'm wondering...is it a "normal size" pre-amp, or is it somehow portable? I mean, how do you handle it on a live show, if what you're using is a standard size pre-amp (like the studio, or even home ones), isn't it too cumbersome? and,what about the alimentation?

There's an awesome amount of taping info at http://www.taperssection.com/

It was there that I first heard about rockbox.  Tons of good recording information, and more minutae regarding preamps than you'll believe.

Many people get away with a pair of good mics and a battery box.  A battery box powers the microphone (with a higher voltage than your H120 can provide) which yields a stronger signal which is more resistant to distortion.  The one I have allows you to set the bass cutoff freq which can be a big help recording a show with booming bass.

I haven't recorded yet with my H140, but hope to soon.  I have recorded some shows with laptop and quality soundcard and my mic rig though --  the battery box makes a world of difference.

Rock on,

Zeke
