Every rock show I've tried to record on my Sharp MD is way too loud. I have some low end mics with power, but never use the power since everything is too loud anyway. Even kind of acoustic shows - What am I doing wrong .... cheap mic??
Please help

WELCOME! What imput are you plugging your mic into?
-
you should use your power supply ... it will INCREASE the max SPL handling of your mics :) Check out the specs on your mics ... it should tell you what the max SPL with and without is.

I'm using a Sharp MD-SR60. Mics are plugged into "mic in" input.
I guess I should use the power supply, huh?
-
use the power for the mics and go thru line in. should work fine.

That would be "input". ;)

Just to clarify - I have a "mic in" input and an "optical/line in" input. Which are you suggesting?
thanks
-
optical line input accepts both a digital and analog line level sound,thats what everyone and myself is suggesting you use
-
Try it with the line. I think your distortion might be coming from mic in...
-
Thanks a lot everyone - I'll let you know how it works

don't forget to watch your levels, make sure they don't go OVER 0dB, but they can hover there
