^^^ Thanks, fmaderjr. I have been thinking about trying this for quite some time, ever since I saw a post (from goodcooker, maybe) saying it was do-able. Your experience with a loud band has convinced me to give it a try. Most of what I record is moderate in volume, so I am not too worried about overloading if you've had no problems with a loud source. It will definitely make for a compact travel set-up!
