Just adding that this is probably the problem. Reducing signal to 10%
of original voltage, its going to bring the noise up. 

Allthought I must say, recording technical and artistic ways are
sometimes different ways. Sometimes fucking up the signal, will make
it *live* but usually creative choiches tend to be technically pretty
polished also. Also; noise isn't so bad darth vader as gear
manucaturers let to believe. 

I'm finished with the subject.
