comment Is Garage Band a viable tool for home recording?
Last time I checked, you could put a limited number of effects on the master bus.

comment Will a magnetically shielded studio monitor mess up my hard drive?
Fascinating! My dad must have learned that from having floppies - so I was still cautious sitting my hard drive enclosures on top of my speakers. But what about vibrations - shaking the drive off or messing with the heads...hmmm.

comment How do I match a microphone to a preamp
Again, I'm looking for concrete rules on how the gain relates to sensitivity. More is better when the gain on the preamp is low, but is there a way to avoid - "Oh...shouldn't have bought this mic, my preamps can't power it, now I'm going to have to drop $500 on a preamp", instead of waiting until after you get the mic and then have to sell it or get a new preamp. As much as artists like to think this is all art, there is science happening in the background.

"What number on the microphone spec sheet will tell me how much gain I need on my preamp? "

@Bob - The fathead and presonus digimax. Recording quiet sounds and it needs to be cranked - cranking means hissing. SM57 needs gain for doing acoustic guitar. Got a 75db preamp and they both sound great without noise from the pre.

comment Difference between 3.5mm and quarter inch plug?
I don't think apple would find it funny - it would take up too much space inside the device - which is why the mini plug is created. If you look inside some of your electronic, check out the volume which is taken up by each jack. The 1/4" is huge, whereas the mini takes up much less space. Why can't they all just use bluetooth? ;)
