Not saying that one really needs to do this ... just that it worked for me
today. I've not had a chance to try it a 2nd time, as they say "'tis the
season to be weary", but I will next week when things settle down a bit.

I sort of figured that.

That's easy to do and works fine.

I don't recall if you mentioned what type of mic you use, the Audiobox

I was doing my testing with a cheap dynamic. I'll have a go later with a
condenser. I will want to use my ribbon for sax recording, but at a close
distance. So, it should be fine. And, if not, I can always stick an amp
(well, mixer) into the loop.

The instrument input actually has more gain available, up to 50dB, so

That's interesting. I have a 3pin to 1/4 cable laying about. I'll give that
a go and see what happens. Would this effect the quality of the signal?

So much easier, for an acoustic guy like me, to not get involved in all
this recording stuff :)
