Sony D8 - Line In vs Mic In
« on: March 15, 2006, 10:06:43 PM »
Any opinions on either?  I'll be using it for both soundboard patching and stealth taping as it will be my first up with a D8, I'm just wondering.


Nobility is expensive, nonproductive and parasitic, siphoning away too much of society's energy to satisfy its frivolous cravings.

sbd use line in, always use line in EXCEPT if you are running your mics straight into your d8
Seriously, the band makes the music. Tapers just point mics in the right direction and hit "record".

That's good to hear!  The last patcher I had complained about my AKGs, fluffed schoeps for about 15 minutes, stayed patched in, and farted on me all night long.

Um, in my room, one seam is a little off and I stare at it constantly. It's, like, destroying me.

Your best bet to avoid overloading/brickwalling the mic-pre is to always use the line inputs no matter if your recording off a board or plugging mics directly into the deck - unless you can't get a strong enough signal from your mics, then switch to the mic-pre input.
