Topic: Questionr re: MP2 > JB3

[Xpanding Man]

i recorded john scofield friday night, with every intention of sharing with some of the folks here    however....

when i listened, the high end sounded a little....brittle.  when i look at the wave form in SF 7.0, it looks like the levels are all 'chopped off' around -8 db and above, like what a mountain range would look like if you took a chainsaw and made a flat horizontal cut....just a bunch of mountain bottoms 

is this because i had the JB3 on line in at -8db ? should i be running 'mic-in' then ? 

BTW, every few minutes this guy scofield just does something that blows your mind...i HIGHLY recommend seeing him with his usual trio in a 'straight-ahead' setting....i say straight-ahead as i hear him going into a tune off of 'bump'     

not a bad recording; if anybody's interested shoot me a PM for some freebie discs (if you read this far you deserve it !)

thanks

good for you recording sco!

i dont know why you would have had that issue.  can you post a screen shot?

every time that i run my mp-2 in front of my ihp120 (i know its not exact same as the jb3) i try to have the mp-2's gain as minimal as possible and bump it when necessary on the ihp120 by about +6dB or so.
