My current live board hidden under the board is an [sfx]MicroThumpinator. [sfx]AY2 into a Rocktron TruLoop with a pair of EHX Bass Balls, Zoom B3, Akai UniBass in the loop and then to a Zoom B2,

All of the Shure mics can be ordered with a cable but for the money there are better cables out there, plus very often retailers make up a bit or margin on the cable since Shure mics are so deeply discounted.

The Shure SM48 is a great mic for spoken word and some other applications but it really is not all that great a vocal mic.

Go for the premium set since it includes the KBM412 and TSM411 mics both of which are excellent mics for live and recording.

There are so many options for recording upright bass and a lot depends on the available room, equipment and the type of track U R working on. Hopefully you bass player will have some idea. I generally record using the pickup on my bass for the fundamental pitch and attack and a microphone to...

I have a pair of MXL V63MBP mics that I absolutely love, nice warm detailed mic been great for everything I have tried.

Acoustic Bass Guitar. I have been working on solo recordings using acoustic bass guitar, looking for different capture sources to mix with the piezo pickups and the X-s works quite well.

I have used the s/pdif out with satisfying results for vox and other things* as the A/D converter on the dbx is quite good. But usually use the xlr out into an xlr input to add another gain stage since I also like the A/D in the Tascam. I have the ProVocal in a rack and have used it several...

Yes on my 2488/2. A lot depends on the vocalist, mic & sound I want to deliver. Usually i use the ART TPSII but have been using s DBX ProVocal to print vocals.

Free Mic = Good Mic! I have not used that particular mic but the 2 pair of C-2 mics I have a real work horses and have served quite well for all sorts of uses studio and live. Behringer gets a lot of bashing but they do make decent gear that is used by a lot of musicians (even if they don't...

There are so many variables that decide what mic set up I choose for drums. Drummer, kit, size of kit, space, style of music, equipment and tracks available for use and the expectation of the drummer, producer or other client. My preference is to go as simple as possible which often is bass...

I still have my old DP1 but honestly when i got the 2488/2 I was much happier with all the additional functions. Getting used to the menu may take a bit but it's worth it.

I chose the Zoom because it is easier to use due to the lay out. The Tascam to use the if mounted on a stand has the controls and display on the top, on the Zoom they would be either on the front or back which is more convenient.

The H2n might be overkill for your needs but you can also use it to record voice overs and other audio you might need for your development. There are certainly less expensive recorders that may do an adequate job, but when i tried lesser quality recorders i was not satisfied. The H2n compares...

I have recorded ambient sounds for foley and also for personal use and the convenience and quality of the current hand held models makes it a no brainer for me. To beat the quality of the current hand held recorders for ambient you'd have to spend a heck of a lot more and haul a bunch of...
