You live 10 min from the factory? wow. That's pretty a big coincidence. I've got a matched pair of M50s which is the exact same as the QTC50 except with tighter specs (that's what EW's told me anyway). It's strange how people really love or hate this mic. In my experience, I've had great...

Interesting point, I agree with you. It takes time to find the best mic, but the extra effort definately pays off in the mix. If you have a limited choice of maybe just one great mic, u still can get a workable sound provided you spent the time with mic positioning. When using two mics (or...

Well, if you're talking about Small Diaphragm Mics for great transients response (assuming that you like this quality of recording), then I'd say Earthworks Mics are the most detailed small diaphragm mics you will ever hear. PERIOD. http://www.earthworksaudio.com/ I've used them for over 3...

Would you please clarify what you mean by sound blasts? Is this equivalent to a wind blast caused by the drum skin moving or plosives from vocals?

okay. Good point. But now that I've asked and risk looking like a twat, I can honestly say that I'm wiser for it.

I've always wanted to know that, was actually planning to grab my spl meter and go get some readings on the kick drum, but since I'm by myself today, I think that's not going to work. :spank: I can only think of the Kick and cabinets been the loudest things in a recording studio. would it...

Is anyone aware of any the scientific research that proves High SPL damages mics. There are two opposing camps so who can you trust? I'm just trying to understand why loud spl doesn't hurt mics. Maybe someone with more technical MIC knowledge can chime in. If you overload an electrical...

Hi, I'm sorry if I offended you. even old thread are still relevantly today, not my intention to intentionally bump old threads. It's just by chance that topics I like were first discussed years ago. I was under the impression that you should always do a search for previous threads and not...

awesome thread, almost 9 years old. I'd like to know how you all are doing since 2001? Any good news since? Been googling on what makes a good song and this came up. Peace.

Yamaha HS80 m are great cos they translate. Hi, i think Yamaha HS80 are great becos when I mix on them, I find it easy to get mixes to translate well on other systems. That's why I like them. Getting mixes to translate is near impossible if your monitors don't suit your ears natural...

Using Neumann M149 to mic Guitar Cabinet Hiya, How about using a Neuman 149 tube to mic a guitar cabinet? I don 't dare try it cos I fear it may be a bad idea if there's a chance of hurting the mic. Has anyone used a M149 on a guitar cabinet b4?

Microphone Polar Patterns Old thread, but I was really surprised yesterday when I read this, cos changing polar patterns really affects the quality of a recording in terms of recording ambient room reflections with the source. I've only been really keen on using cardiod and omni for so many...
