It accepts xlr and 1/4 inputs to record, but you are limited to 1/4 outputs for playback.

Brandon, Good news and bad news. The ART Tube mp project is a great preamp and can warm tones greatly! On to the other side and to answer your question. You will need an audio interface. I use and recommend a Focusrite Scarlett series which feature XLR and 1/4 inch inputs to a USB output. I personally use a 2i2 model which features 2 inputs to USB and sells for $150 on Amazon. If you only need 1 channel then the Focusrite solo @ $99 will work for you. Read reviews and search youtube and I am sure you will find this the way to go. Sorry to double or triple your expenses, but it has worked fantastic for me with instruments or mics into a DAW computer based system. Hope this helps..... Brandon, Good news and bad news.

I just installed the v1.4 beta driver on my 64-bit Windows 8.1 laptop, and playback of 24-bit, 192 kHz files is working beautifully (I'm currently listening to Kind of Blue from HDTracks). I have a concert to record this Thursday, so hopefully the A-to-D side is working well also. I use external mic pre-amps and just run balanced "Hi-Z" into the E-MU for recording, so I don't anticipate any problems there.

If you are speaking of the Mackie 1402-VLZ3 then yes. All you need to do is come out of your balanced output from the Mackie with an XLR cable and hook right into the K8 input. That would be an awesome setup.

I use High Performance OFC connecting cables-2 TRS on one side the other XLR's which I made up! Guitar cables are Great! Your ears will pick up the Difference..I connect the XLR's to a power amp then out into the Virtualizer pro DSP2024P-Preset settings on the Virtualizer: I:O73 TUBE AMP! This Creates a Giant Stereo Smack with Clarity = MID BASS & TREBLE & the Levels are Way up to 0.5db & of coarse the CD recorder to lift the Levels to that Mark. I hope this was helpful to complete your Music Workmenship, God Bless ya Bruce & have a Great Week.

I run this unit via USB into a Dell i7 tower...using Audacity as my recording program. I've been totally satisfied...I have about 14 microphones and portable recording equipment in Zoon h4 and h1 recorders...then I run it to a Teac amp with older Canton Shelf speakers...and two larger Sony speakers....also I have a 500 watt per channel stereo 8 ohm amp with 8 ohm Peavey speakers for live sound....but most of the work I do with the ProFX16 is studio work. I'm not a great expert or engineer...but I've had no troubles with my Mackie. Inputs include a synth...a reversable Numark turntable that can also be USB if I want...etc. etc. The Mackie has more flexibility than I need...but it's nice to have phantom power for mics, graphic equalizer, low cuts, compressor channels...just everything...and I added a headphone splitter attached via Command strips to the back of the Mackie when I need more headsets for recording...each with their own volume control...etc.etc. Again, more capability than I need.

For recording live music, I have used an external Zoom recorder which then fed the audio input of the GH3. Because the Zoom's levels were already hot, I had to turn down the sensitivity of the GH3 audio ins and also cut the output of the Zoom otherwise a nasty limiter effect from the GH3 would engage. With the GH3, be careful not to record too hot even with the on-board mics which are just OK. I also used a Stereo Video Mic Pro from Rode but did not use the +20 db setting as it would have been too hot. Bottom line, GH3 has plenty of it's own preamp gain so if using external mics, be careful of overloading your levels and turn down the GH3's sensitivity.

Well you need both male and female XLR cable for one going in and one going out.....the pedal is for hand free some people use it for looping (basically recording your voice and it keeps repeating the recording and help save her presets ....but to better understand this go youtube and look up voicelive touch or tc helicon and there is Playlist of tutorial how to use the machine

While I have never used this for live recording, what you are looking for is what this was intended to do. It's designed to set your limits and level things off. Also it has the sonic maximizer which is a plus. That will help clean things up and enhance the over all sound.

I know you've tried 2 or 3 cords by now so here's how I record using my MXL 770. I use an ART tube pre amp, but you have to turn off the phantom pwr or If you have another external phantom pwr unit try that. I do know that the controls on H4n Zoom can be tricky we use one to record our rehearsals so double check your settings. Hope this helps.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeqDAjB9pGKThe first guy in the video [me] is the one using the MXL 770. The sound editing is weird on my part, the dB were adjusted to fit with the track used (which was different from what I recorded with)

I connected my ds-40 to the earphone output on my stereo to the mic jack on the recorder. The recording was horrible. I don't know how it would work if I had connected to the stereo line out.

We would have to agree with David! We've had great feedback on the Yamaha MG16XU! It offers similar effects, USB, and input capabilities as the Mackie ProFX16V2, for a lower price! The MG16XU is currently in stock separately and as a bundle package and ready to ship!

The mics use XLR connections (regular mic connection). If your mixer takes xlr inputs then you would need regular microphone cables from each drum mic to the mixer. If your mixer only uses 1/4" inputs, then you will have to get cables with xlr female (to the drum mic) and 1/4" male to the mixer.Since most mixers have xlr inputs, I just went ahead and got myself an 8-channel snake to avoid carrying around a bunch of cables. Pyle Pro makes a nice 20ft snake. Search amazon.com for Pyle-Pro PPSN821 20 Ft.. Currently it is $33.99. Also, if you register your Pyle Pro drum mics within a certain time, you get an extended warranty from them.I hope I gave you enough info. Thanks!

Note that the microphone ports on the side are two XLR plugs. Any professional mic will work. I got exceptional results with RODE NTG-2 and NTG-3 on a boom. Sennheiser lavs sounded good but the noise floor had a bit of hiss that was not present using the boom microphones. I find my results with the recorder are getting better and better as I get to know it.

You will need something with XLR inputs, either a camera or a digital field recorder. I use a Tascam DR-40. It will also need phantom power, which means it needs to be powered by whatever it is plugged into.

Hello. First of all the camera cannot do 24p, it has an effect that makes it sorta look like film but it still records at 30fps. The onboard audio is about as good as onboard goes, but there is no audio hookups for external gear such as a real boom mic. I've purchased both the sony mini boom mic and the stereo mic that can work on the camera, they work alright - but aren't anywhere near audiophile quality. You may want to checkout the Sony ECMHW1 Bluetooth Wireless Microphone if you decide to get this camera..
