The story: I have a Sony D8, a pair of MXL 604's, and an M-Audio Audio Buddy (just bought). I hooked them up for the first time tonight with the mics as overheads on drums to test that it all would work. On the first recording, I noticed considerable distortion (I'm using the line in on the D8). So, I experimented a bit with the levels...turning them almost to zero on the Audio Buddy & below "4" on the D8. This alleviated most of the distortion with the exception of the low tom and floor tom. After reading this: http://www.rockpark.com/d7/8_sensit.txt ...and a few other posts, it looks like I need an attenuator. Will this do the trick? http://www.core-sound.com/attenuator-cables/1.php I guess I should state my purpose. I don't plan on recording drums this way, but rather plan on putting together a rig to record in a few weeks (http://www.wakarusa.com). Thanks, Michael ------------------------------ From: andy hopkins Subject: couple of decks for sale Date: Thu, 05 Apr 2007 07:44:43 -0400 before ebay gets it...
