DI BOXES - 6 Essential Things You Must Know
As I've been acquiring gear and learning more about setting up effects, one topic that continues to come up is that of using a Direct Box. This video is (finally) a great explanation of DI in action, and some uses for it.
One key thing mentioned is that many DI boxes allow signal splitting, where one may send the clean-tone or base signal to the primary interface, and a second signal into an fx chain or live AMP. This alone is worth considering a DI setup because the recording interface may not necessarily have a thru/exit patch.
Another thing mentioned is how to select active (powered) or passive (inline, unpowered) DI box for the type of instrument in use. One heuristic is that powered devices (fx pedal chains, synthesizers, etc) should probably use passive DI, and unpowered devices (mic-only, acoustic instruments, etc) should use active DI.
Last, being able to convert to a balanced medium for signals (XLR cables) is a big deal; a DI box facilitates this, and this allows the use of much longer cords to carry signal.

Live-Recording from a Board
I did this last night at Donatos Basement.
Ran an aux out to the peavey 4-channel mixer, and the mono out from that into my Mobile-Pre and Laptop. Audacity was used.
Bands were a problem, I brought just 2 DI boxes.
The comedians however sounded AWESOME!
So another success (scarlet & grey previously worked out great)
