In this session I played the role of assistant for Mat Quinn while he performed and recorded a piece on the acoustic guitar for his track. As usual our group worked very well together, we set up the microphones and Pro Tools session and prepared to record. We used 2 SM57's for the guitar and a SM58 for talkback.

This is when we encountered a couple of problems. We had to deal with a faulty XLR cable, but this was easy enough because we only needed to replace it. Then something strange happened with the input gain while trying to set the levels on the desk. It was really quiet for some reason and the input gain on the first channel was acting weird and we had heard some crackling while adjusting it. We tried turning up the master signal gain and that helped us enough for us to record the piece.
