    So many tech videos might as well be in a foreign language as it's impossible to understand their tech jargon but this video is excellent, straight to the point and it's easy to understand especially for those who are not tech savy and just starting to learn about home recording gear. Thank You for the video.

    Hey great video! Question: In a looping scenario, I would be connecting my guitar/bass to a small amp and running the phone/line output into the mixer from the amp. Do I need a DI-box or the hi-z button engaged in that scenario?

    Hi great info! What is the best option for live streaming as a DJ using rca output to quarter inch into Irig2. Is there a better way to get better sound quality? I've noticed my sound isn't as good as other DJs. Thanks again

    Hi thanks for uploading this video , for live events i plug my guitar into an IRIG-HD, ( which plugs into an iPad ) and then I plug a cable from the Irig to the mixer , do I still use the High Z button ?

    Should I connect my AT2020 mic to hi-z to record classical guitar? Thanks for all your videos.

    • @kettnercreative
      @kettnercreative  3 місяці тому

      No, this is only if you're connecting a 1/4" cable directly to an instrument with magnetic pickups. If you're using a microphone, you don't need this.

    Question, if I'm going from my electric guitar through a Boss ME-80 Multi-Effects pedal, is my signal now a line level signal or should I still use Hi-Z. All plugs are 1/4" jacks connected to mono.

  • @rupambaruahmusic
    @rupambaruahmusic 9 місяців тому

    I am about to buy a Behringer UMC 204 HD as it meets all my necessary aspects. But I really am stuck on the Hi Z stuff!
    Would you please let me know if there is any Hi Z provision in there?
    Would be of great help, thanks already for the content.

    I have the Universal Audio Dream '65 Reverb Amp pedal... The out is with a 1/4" input... Should I use the Hi-Z button?

    Is it okay to use the hi-z button if the phantom is activated particularly in profx6v3 that only have 2 mic channel strips? Thanks. Great content.

    • @kettnercreative
      @kettnercreative  Рік тому +2

      Hi-z button applies only to 1/4” input.
      Phantom power only goes to xlr input.

    QUESTION: Will Hi Z function have any effect on my acoustic guitar if im connecting acoustic guitar via wireless route such as Shure BLX14 Wireless Guitar System?

    • @kettnercreative
      @kettnercreative  8 місяців тому

      I believe the wireless system will do the impedance matching for you.

    Why does my Yamaha ag06 take a drum machine into the guitar input but has no volume in the line input?
    Weird it doesn’t sound blown out it actually sounds the cleanest with good volume. I must be doing something wrong unless the wires are switched?

  • @putawayboy
    @putawayboy 2 місяці тому

    Can you insert a typical guitar pedal between your Instrument and Hi Z input?

    • @kettnercreative
      @kettnercreative  2 місяці тому

      Yes you can.

    • @putawayboy
      @putawayboy Місяць тому

      Thanks. Does that imply most pedals have high impedance outputs? If so are there exceptions?
