you to start a mix on your console, then
transfer your settings over to Studio One for further mixing, editing, and
mastering. The engineers here at Sweetwater are thoroughly impressed
by the lightning-fast workflow afforded by this innovative system.

Understanding Impedance
No home studio is immune from issues of
impedance, yet the subject can seem very
confusing. In this workshop we explain
what the recording musician needs to
know about impedance, and show you how
to avoid lifeless guitar sounds, digital glitches, and fried amps!

explained
What does "line level" mean? A device that
operates at line level either has a very
strong output signal, or only functions
properly when you feed a very strong signal
into it. Examples of line level outputs include mic preamps, mixers, the
"line out" of an amp, and some effects-loop "send" jacks.

Microphone Impedance: What Is It

And Why Is It Important? | My New

While reading over a microphone spec
sheet, you've undoubtedly come across

load impedance, or both! Understanding these impedance values is
crucial to truly master microphones. So what is microphone impedance?
Microphone signals are AC voltages. Impedance is the "AC resistance"
of audio signal voltages.
