i just think that a sdc is essential for music production and you will need one sooner or later anyway. and because i think you can use a good one on vocals at least as good as a ldc i was just thinking that you can save the money for the cheap lcd an get a good sdc first and you covered much more than with a cheap ldc. But I really did not what to offend. It was just my opinion. Sorry If you got me wrong. Sebastian |

I think the piano is performed really nice as well, so imo it doesn't have to be so underestimated. When I hear that song, I think of one person sitting on the piano singing. So for me the room on piano and vocals should be the same, probably with slightly different pre delay settings, to bring out the vocals a little bit more. and the piano should be a little louder as well. But that is my opinion only. And this is just a matter of taste and not of right or wrong. Sebastian |

It should have been in fixed steps instead of the inaccurate variable gain it has now. In theory variable gain should give finer detail, but this is not the case on Mbox. Its also hard to recall a gain setting because the gain pot is to loose and inaccurate. |

Re: Mic Gain Problem
Yes. Just remember that the Mbox has a 54dB gain, so if that's not enough for your mic you should get a preamp wich has more than 54dB gain. Maby around 70dB.

Re: Mic Gain Problem
I have herd from many sources that some of Maynard's vocal (Tool) are done on sm57. Also, the sm57 is the same as the sm58 except for a slight speak at 1-2khz. In reality, if you are getting a great sound and very little signal noise, go with it. How are you micing the vocal talent?

Re: Mic Gain Problem
Well really the problem is its too loud or too soft.. so I try to even have people stand in different spots but sometimes it becomes too distant... but up close it clips a lot... Its a crazy problem, I'm wondering if it's a hardware problem, like maybe i received a defective mbox mini...
