classicalnut Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Does anyone know of a device that will let me control the left and right volumes while recording with mikes? Is there somekind of device that I can plug my mike into and then plug into the recorder? Thanks, Van Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourist Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 It's called a mixer, try a Guitar Center store or other music store, or possibly even Radio Shack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicalnut Posted March 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Yes I know what a mixer is and own 3 or 4 of them. Looking for something that might let me bypass the mixer and just straight from the mike to the minidisc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Otaku Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Something like the radio shack ehadphone volume control with a balance control or individual levels for each channel would work.I don't know where to find one of these, though. I would likely just make one myself with a box and 2 potentiometers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minispecs Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Couldn't you also use a battery box with slide level controls and then set each level separately? I have a battery box with level controls on each channel (left and right) and it would seem that setting one higher than the other would make one louder than the other. But what do I know about these kinds of things? Seriously though, it seems very possible.minispecs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozpeter Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 If you have correctly-sited mics and they match and they are a stereo pair, your levels should be naturally centred - or if off-centre, perhaps that reflects the nature of the performance. Assuming you are uploading into wave format afterwards, any reasonable correction actually required should be possible with a freeware editor. And at that point you have the leisure to make careful decision. I'd be wary of putting anything not crucial between the mic's outputs and the MD's inputs.
