Hi Roberto,<br><br>I don't know much about what you're asking, but i do know that building audio hardware isn't easy at all, and probably eventually just as expensive as industrial products. <br>Now concerning the question of whether you should amplify the signal within Pd or not, i'd say it all depends on your needs. If you want to record a singer or an instrument it's always good to have an analog pre-amp before you feed the signal into Pd. If you need it for something else it may not be necessary. <br>
I personnaly use Pd to process the sound of my electric guitar in real-time. For this i use a usb interface (EMU 0404), and the Pd-processed sound ends up in my tube amp.<br>Anyway, it is very much a matter of taste here, i mean if you like the sound of your mics without a pre-amp it's fine. Amplifying the sound in Pd will not change the sound, whereas amplifying it first with a pre-amp will change it (depending on whether it has tubes, and on the general quality of the product). You just have to choose what you like most. <br>

<div style="word-wrap: break-word;">Hello all,<div>maybe somebody could bring me some lights about this:</div><div><br></div><div>I want to jam with some piezos and coil mics, I could get a cheap M-Audio Quattro or similar (no pre amp included) and all this into Pd for some processing.</div>
<div><br></div><div>What would be better:</div><div>1. to get or build some hardware preamps or </div><div>2. to amplify the signal inside Pd?</div><div><br></div><div>Another way to go could be, instead of buying a dedicated Audio Interface, build one on an Arduino board or on this new CUI32 USB board, using those (several) analog inputs. For me, in a way could be good also, because of learning how to do it.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I will appreciate any help or tip on this..</div><div><br></div><div>Roberto</div><div><br></div><font color="#888888"><div><br><div>
