cyrano, Thanks for your thoughts. The RME Babyface Pro looks like a sweet unit. Unfortunately way out of our price range, even used. Audient ID22 looks decent too, but same issue with price. I understand clean sound vs whatever color the GAP Pre-73 Jr adds. If I were setting up a recording studio fo...

cyrano, that was my leaning as well. The *real* pre-amp, along with maybe the Scarlet Solo USB audio interface to connect it to the computer (a Mac).

Gah. I thought I had this wrapped up. Now my friend /client says her other tech advisor told her all she needed was a Cloudlifter unit. I have my doubts.

Anyone have an opinion about the Cloudlifter signal booster?

TIA, M.

Koz said, "I have a really good idea why they do it. It's 'safe.' If they created a much higher volume sound work, you have the possibility of announcing too loud and creating overload.

Going by the specs, it ought to be sufficient. Will let you know the results when I've got that hooked up. (I'm sorry the MVi didn't...

Dear kozikowski, Just sat down to mess with this again. Plugged the USB cable into a USB port on the back of this Mac (instead of the USB port at the end of the keyboard, as suggested). Increased the gain as much as possible with the slider on the individual track we were working with. Still got tin...

Dear Collective Wisdom, I'm troubleshooting for a friend who's in the process of setting up a home studio for voice actor work. The problem we're trying to solve is insufficient volume in the resulting MP3 after export. She has a Shure SM7B mic, plugged into a Shure MVi Digital Audio Interface (I mi...

Dear Collective Wisdom, I've got an MXL-DRK condenser microphone, which I've got plugged into the line-in port (no, not the headphone port, the one to the left of that) on my Mac PowerBook G4 running OSX 10.4.11. I'm getting a signal when I turn the mic on and speak into it, but the signal seems ver...
