They generate very low noise (some say the least of any condenser available). This is key for me because I'm interested in recording relatively quiet sounds. I went with a Mackie 1202VLZPro, as it provides some flexibility, and sometimes knobs are nicer than sliders. It's also a great idea to have enough channels for everything that you might want to connect to the computer. Buy a piece of equipment, hook it up to the mixer, set the levels and e.q., and forget it. Check the specs on your soundcard. I replaced a Delta 44 with an echo Mia Midi, and the noise floor is audibly lower. There is a usenet group called rec.audio.pro (production) where there are a hundred or so real-life professionals who love to talk about this stuff. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
