I'd like to start by apologizing if I put this in the wrong forum. I tried searching and couldn't find anything relating to this, and I hope someone can be of some help. Here's the deal: bought an Edirol E-09 + battery box + binaural mics over the summer. I've mostly been extremely happy with the results, so far. My only thing is that I occasionally record musicals, which obviously include a combination of music and spoken dialogue. With the handful of musicals I've recorded thus far, I've found that the music comes out fine, but the spoken parts end up being on the quiet side. I know it has been said that an external pre-amp would help with recording spoken word/quiet sounds, and I've been considering buying one for situations like this. However, I assume that a pre-amp would amplify both the music and the dialogue, so there'd still be a noticeable difference. Honestly, I'm still a newbie taper, and I'm not well versed in recording jargon, and I'm not sure what to do in this situation. Is there something I can do during performances, or should I try doing something once the show is over? Or..?
