Coumputer music recording Question?
I want to record my drums. I have 7 mics that i use and i was wondering if doing it this way would work and save me money. I want to beable to record each mic on its own track, like an audio interface would do onto a program like mixcraft 5. I Pin Xlr was wondering if i got this Hosa DTF-803 25-Pin to Female XLR Cable http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/Hosa-DTF803-25Pin-to-Female-XLR-Cable?sku=333023and then i got this 25 pin serial port to usbhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B000067RWK/ref=cm_ciu_pdp_images_0?ie=UTF8&index=0and hooked all my drum mics to the xlrs and the to serial ports together and the usb into my computer, would this work? would i beable to individualy record each mic to its own channel so i would be able to get a better mix from my drums??

The 1/4″ line out is probably for connecting to another amplifier (so you would use your amp as a pre-amp). You would have to check the instructions to make sure of that though.The XLR direct out is for connecting directly to a mixer, or a stage box/snake which connects to the mixer.
You need a XLR female to 3.5mm:http://www.computercablestore.com/6FT_Audio_Cable_Female_XL_PID8007.aspxI don’t know where to get this in the UK though.A better way to do this is to get a USB audio interface – it will work way better than your computer’s sound card:http://www.musicstore.com/en_EN/GBP/Lexicon-Alpha-Studio-USB-Audio-Interface/art-PCM0005473-000All you need is the interface, SM58 mic and a standard XLR male to female mic cable.
the output from a pre-amp should be line level, that is the definition of a pre-amp. your mixer should not be putting phantom power on its line level inputs. If you have a line level device plugged into the mic input of your mixer you have a lot more of a problem than phantom power.
DUH! No!XLR – is a balanced (stereo) connection and is most likely a ‘Line Level’ output.Speakers should be connected from AMPS )not pre-amps) with heavy gauge wire and is mostly 2 conductor
Try your local Radio Shack! I find they have most of my personal needs and I worked in electronics all my life………
$2500, sounds fair enough. Yet you might as well keep it.. Most people are looking for deals, $2500 is not a deal(even though it is lol).$900 would be a deal, because most decent machines would sell for approx. $1200 for something good.You computer would really sell to someone who knows there hardware. Consider selling the parts separatly!! Yup thats right! That way you have more leverage for 7 peices vs 1.8 x $275 = $2200 hmm.. not bad.7 x $300 = $2100 hmm..better.5 x $500 = $2500 hmm..nope.1 x $2500 = $2500 hmm.. nope.
A 3-pin XLR connector is typically used for a balanced, low impedance mic. They can easily be wire as an unbalanced mic but you need to match the mic impedance to the input of whatever you are using to record the audio on. If your camera has an external mic input it might be good to use that if you can. This keeps the audio in sync with the video. Even if you edit the audio later you will know how it should sync with the video. As long as your audio recorder is a quality device it shouldn’t make any difference what you use to record it.
5 pin XLR are sometimes used for intercom packs. You would need to wire up your own, as connections with 5 pin XLR don’t follow any particular standard.however it is much more likely to be a 5 pin DIN connector if it is an old AKG since it is a German product. Standard 5 pin DIN cable sets were widely used on European HiFi gear and you should be able to get at an audiophile store or Radio Shack.
You need to get a standard 3 pin XLR mic cable. They are available at music stores and Radio Shack:http://www.amazon.com/XLR-male-female-Microphone-Cable/dp/B000165DSM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=musical-instruments&qid=1250779159&sr=1-1You connect the power source mic output to the Tascam mic input.Remember that the Apex power supply needs power too. It must have some type of power cord.
Possibly a DIN connector.
XLR cables do not put out voltage they just pass what ever voltage is fed through them. If you are talking about ringing a stardard telephone, they want 40 to 60 volts pulsating DC. They will not ring with DC voltage on them.
