I gota agree with old Schmangie boy!

As much as I love playing through my TSL100 / SM57/ large diaphragm mics / mice preamps etc, the best results I have had have been recording direct with Mr Podpro shooting striate into either my sound card or the D1200 via the S/PDIF out.

I also need to say that I am limited in my options due to living in a shoe box with neighbors below and to one side (apparently the law says Im not aloud to have them stuffed ! Pooo !). Even then the acoustics of our pad are terrible so direct is my best friend !
