What do you mean freedom to crank it? This is as "cranked" as it gets. Anything more on the analog side and you'd clip the digital device. I'm not sure I follow you on this one Schwilly.
ok, the real reason why I won't be doing this is because I'd have to mess with the knobs on the mp-2. This is not practical. With the mp-2 in my back pocket, the mics on my head, I can't be moving that much and I'd need to see what I was doing, plus the gain knobs for left and right are seperate, so I would have to move each knob and hope they are as a exact as they were.
Currently, I just have the levels on the mp-2 taped down, and I change the levels on the Neuros, which seems a bit easier, because I only have to pay attention on the Neuros. Also, last time someone fucked with my MP-2 levels, I got a crap recording at a $75 concert and everyone here was clueless as to how to solve my problem. Am I losing anything by doing this? I don't think I am but...
Also, your instructions seem similar to those posted on Sonic Sense. What are you suggesting be done, vs. what Sonic Sense is saying, or are you both saying the same thing but in a different way?
