Have You Seen My Cable?
I’m missing a 6-pin to 6-pin FireWire cable. Not being able to find this cable is entirely the reason why I didn’t update the JMB website this weekend (I need the cable to hook up the external drive that has the JMB site on it). Has anyone seen it?
If anyone has an extra or two of these laying around, not getting any use, I’d love to take ‘em off your hands. I can’t find them in stores anymore (only 4-pin to 6-pin), and a lot of my external FireWire gear needs 6-pin to 6-pin.
Oh, Rew! You are such a geek!! But that’s why we love you so much.

So I was thinking….. about recording myself reading the bible. so I thought I would ask your opinion as to how to do this on the cheap but good quality
ie.
1. upgrade sb card
2. get little mixer
3. shure sm58
4. download audacity
5. start talking
6. run through lame
7. pop into my mp3 cd player in the truck
in your recording experience am I on the right track?
Thanks
Dave
ps. I don’t think I have seen your firewire cable

Hey Dave,
All of this sounds great. The SB card/small mixer would definitely be the most affordable route. Behringer makes a great small mixer with one XLR input that could serve as your mic preamp. You can order this from Musician’s Friend for around $30-40, I believe. Wal-Mart, Office Depot and places like that would have soundcards for fairly cheap. You can pick up an SM57 or SM58 here in town at Brad’s Music Center.
You’re definitely on the right track! Sounds like it will be very time consuming, but well worth it.
Take care,
Andrew
