A Guide To J-Mount

|
You get all the power of a mike , when using a Focusrite J-Mount. This enables you to mix down loud but still get coming from your cans, your computer and your hardware. The DAW interface can be designed to compliment the J-Mount, and provide a seamless interface between your studio and it. Although it's the simplest way to send a signal to a single microphone, gain chain choices to make the most of your setup and you will have to be certain that you have the mic.
Preamps are an important part of a signal chain. You might not know this, but a'standard' cable isn't enough for preamps. A'Preamp out' cable is the first step, allowing you to connect your audio out (including your notebook or desktop) to your preamp. You can run out the audio on your computer.
Be sure you select a mic with a floating element. This enables you to set the level at which you record, in addition to any' evaporating' effects' level. If you have a DI or USB interface, be sure that the preamp has this. You can also look at making this a headset out, rather than a computer line out. Another thing to consider is if you want to cut the level where the signal enters the sound port or leave it high.
Ensure that you choose a mono mic, to prevent switching between mics. This is especially important if you are recording voices or a number of instruments. So you have a zero dB signal from the DI back an additional option for recording is to link to the mic at the end of the DI cable.
If you are recording the input to your guitar amp (or house piano amp) and are using XLR cables, make sure you have a stereo extension cable (not a microphone cable). If you're recording into an amplifier this is essential. For those who are recording to a card, be certain that you have the stereo or'Analog Out' connector for recording.
You can take a portable recorder (with a USB port) and connect it to your Audio Interface, using a USB to RCA adaptor. This allows you to connect without the microphone to the interface, adding a bit of distortion should you will need to attain a sound in addition to giving you access to the level and preamp levels.
There are numerous ways in which to take advantage of the J-Mount Interface as you can see. Follow these steps, and you'll be well on your way to recording.
