| hI. In these days i'm trynig to recording my electrified-acoustic WASHBURN ea20, directly in the onboard pres of my Motu 828mkii (without di box).
This guitar have either 1/4 jack and TRSjack and a pre-eq onboard called EquisII with "level output" and "contour" roll.
When i recorded using jack/jack (from guitar to motu pres) i can use the guitar's eq onboard and i'm able to increase the gain pre from motu almost at max level and level output from guitar at 2 o'clock never reach the "red zone" from cubase.
Instead, if i use trs/trs connection i have a such distortion/overload that i have to put at minimum level the gain pre of motu (at 7 oclock!!) and guitar's eq onboard is bypassed. Thanks
What i have to do? since i've ever think that balanced connection was better than simply mono jack!
Don't suggest me to use a dibox or to mic...i want to obtain the bettere recording from directly connecting guitar to motu pres...shoul i use an impulse of some pre with a vst?
What is the best way to connect? balanced or unbalanced? To rest in the most professional direct method of recording? |
