does that preamp work good with the Perception mic? Also can u post a Vid with preamp in use... maybe a comparison video with preamp on and off??

[outrageousthoughts]

@ESOBOY9800 thanks for your question - without the preamp, the Perception mic just won't work. Basically, it "powers" the mic too - using phantom power. I have a few vids where I use the Perception mic. The others are using a Shure SM58 (also powered by the same preamp). Keep in mind, the preamp is cheap in comparison to others on the market. There are better ones, but for home use, I found it adequate. Hope this helps.

is that guitar pickup intrusive? or does it just sorta clamp on?

[outrageousthoughts]

@Krzrk1man not intrusive.. it just clamps on and is under the strings where the guitar hole is.

HELp! did your laptop have a firewire port or did you use and adapter? im planning to buy a firebox but i dont have a FW port :(

[outrageousthoughts]

@Equestional I actually use the firewire port on my PC now, but having said that I previously have used my laptop (and it worked well). I did buy a firewire card that fits the PCMCIA slot of the laptop - I have the Adaptec AFW-1430A card (which I read somewhere as being one of the recommended cards).

This guy reminds me of Mike Park, especially with the lovely pooh stickers on his guitar ^_^

Drinks or liquids of any kind on your audio desk is always a bad idea. Someday you will regret it. Please heed my warning. It can ruin your whole day and cost you a lot of money.

[murkinfamm]
