Re: It worked, finally.....but

Yes the first link is for a phono "board" for a specific preamp. All the Cambridge Audio and Pro-ject stuff is available with regular US voltage versions. They are extremely well-known and respected.

Re: It worked, finally.....but

The preamps that I list are far from "the fancy ones". These are all entry-level units. I wouldn't even consider using a $20 preamp. I have owned the Parasound amp it is quite decent. I bet you can find a used one for $75 or so. I have also listened to the Nad and the Pro-ject and they're all good. ...

Re: It worked, finally.....but

Koz, Are you honestly suggesting that Radio Shack is the only place to buy a phono preamp?! I wouldn't buy an electronic turd from that mall hell of a store. There are hundreds and hundreds of different phono preamps being made today. Some decent budget ones are from Parasound, Bellari, NAD & Pro-Je...

Re: Are plug-ins only available post recording?

I've got everything installed and working fine. Not sure how to use a mixer with batteries though. I want this to be totally portable and not have to rely on an electrical outlet. Oh well...I just did some test recording and it works fine.

Re: Are plug-ins only available post recording?

I did look into a few of those as well. I'd like the Marantz myself. Maybe a little more background on this project will shed some light. My girlfriend has several relatives who are in their 90's who she'd like to document some of their amazing stories so she can have something to remember them by. ...

Re: Are plug-ins only available post recording?

I'm pretty well-versed in recording and already have 2 higher-end condensers and a 2-channel usb powered mic preamp/audio interface I bought specifically for this. My main interface is a MOTU 896HD. I'm trying to make this totally portable so that one will not work besides it weighing like 15 lbs. N...

Re: Are plug-ins only available post recording?

Thanks WC. I'm trying to find a freeware audio editor so my girlfriend can do some interview recording with her Powerbook. Do you know of one that will do the following: provide simultaneous recording of two mono tracks while using a compressor on the inputs, mac compatible, free.

Are plug-ins only available post recording?

I'm having trouble figuring out how to insert the compressor plug-in as an insert. I want to compress AS I record and not apply compression after I record. I give up trying to figure this simple process out and I'm used to using Logic Pro!
