</div>Interesting. My answer is: none. The microphone cable would go to a<br>
passive direct box (*) I got some time ago and the output of the box<br>
then goes into the M-Audio 1010LT card and fed to Ardour. I do not see<br>
at the moment why there would be an external mixer in there.<br>
<br></blockquote><div>Small condenser mic-->Radial DI-->Maudio 1010LT<br>Is that your setup or is there a mic preamp involved?<br>If not you will HAVE to use one to get the signal that comes out of the microphone to a proper working level.<br>
Also I'm wondering that you get any signal at all through a passive DI box having no phantom power...<br><br>My mic preference on a budget would be the "Bluebird" by Blue,<br>which has a very pleasant harmonic distortion in the lowmids, and is pretty cheap too.<br>
Not so on a budget an EV re20 or AKG 414 or a combination, relying also on room size and acoustics.<br><br>Hope that helps anyway..<br>Moshe<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
