Tennessee Jed Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Hello Everyone. I am new to this board and live recording. My Setup: RODE NT4 Stero XY condenser mic ( Phantom Powered ) --> Sony-MZ-N707. I montor this through AKG K240 headphones. I also have an adequate home studio. My Problem: Distortion. Too much level coming into my MD. I can lower the recording volume manually and it seems to record quieter but the distortion is still there. Is there an Attenuation setting or a Hi Lo recording setting I am not making? Am I overdriving the input pf the MZ-N707? What if I did this : Rode Nt 4 ---> 2 Channel Pre Amp --> MZ-N707? Would that give me the ability to lower the signal and remove this distortion? Has anyone had experience n taping really loud rock shows in packed clubs? Ps: This Rode NT 4 rocks. I tried about 5 other mics before buying this one. For under a grand you can't really find much better, yet The recording I made last week was quite good , at times the bands volume would swell though and it clips.
