  • what about for recording instruments bro for example drums, bass and guitar. i am barely starting to build my recording studio and im trying to figure out how to get a nice clean sound. i own a pro 40 focusrite interface, and i was planning to record everything directly from the instrument or drum mics to the interface what do u recommend??

  • @eecabron - thanks for writing, please call Matt Lowe @ Sweetwater Sound, 1-800-222-4700 and he is extension 1652. He can point you in the right direction and has many years of recording experience. Thanks!

  • compressor to interface, XLR in on mbox or TRS ? are you useing a pad on the mbox or pad off? are gain level on mbox, all the way down or what?

  • @SpyMcSlapbornn GO SWEETWATER!!!

  • @ShaunFriedman Quick question, I have an AT4040, and I'm on a budget. Right now my chain looks like this: At4040>M-Audio mobile pre>shitty ass pc. I was planning on getting a few more items and was planning on a chain that looks more like this: AT4040>Focusrite ISA One>FNR RNC or FNR RNLA>Focusrite Saffire pro 6>shitty ass pc. This should run me about $1,000 which still makes me cringe but it's the most I'm willing to spend. Thoughts on this? Also is it nessessary to upgrade my interface?

  • @SpyMcSlapbornn - they are many cable configurations, like RCA to XLR or RCA to 1/4" or whatever you may need.

  • @ShaunFriedman got ya bro thanks for replying!!

  • @1stBlockSounds email then! lol

  • very helpful, nothing on youtube like it
