Line - Instrument - Mic levels oh my!

Post by Tim Toberer »

This is basic information that most explanations of audio equipment assume that we know. I didn't know! On some level I understood and I realize things like microphones and guitars need a preamp, but it was never really explained to me. It's simple I guess, but here is a site with video for anyone else who somehow never was taught this.
