how does my talking about back ground noise equate to the noise-at-the-source you are talking about? sorry, turning up and amp goes a long way to defeat any background noise. i never said shit about hum. your a determined to figure out some way to make me look an idiot.. but you can't.. sorry. and yet again: i typically record in 24bit at somewhere between -3 and -6 for most sources. i just don't get overly geeky about it. and i'm not pissed off... this is "spirited debate".. i've gone to pains to include "smileys" to demonstrate that to some degree. but pointing out the obvious to someone who's been recording professionally for years is pretty iame.... sorry for any misunderstanding though.
i mostly was just fired up to debate about the subject.. it was fun for a minute.
