Hey all.. It's been a very long time (years) since I've recorded or mixed any vox. But this past week I've been learning reaper and loving it.. Any tips/feedback is appreciated. Looking for constructive criticism on mix, the way vocals sit in the mix... overall presence, energy etc.. Let me know...

I've tried uploading 4 or 5 times but the files never show up in my "manage files" folder area.. Is there some trick to this that I'm missing? Thanks. :)

If any vets could weigh in on this I'd really appreciate it. As of now I'm doing mostly voice over work.. I've heard the Nv1 has gets aggressivve when you push it.. which sounds great for radio imaging stuf.. Anyway, I'm currently using a groove tubes brick and a joemeek vc6q. Both i like for...

I've been using a GT brick and the thing is adding a bit too much filth... I need another option and I was aiming for something sterile. The top of the budget is $500. I've read good things a out the DMP and the Studio Projects VTB1.. But they seems so inexpensive, I'm leary. Are they as good...

I'm looking to buy 2 mics for stereo location & ambient recording.. I also considered the new stereo MXL V67 but I'd prefer the ability to space them out more. Having switchable patterns is a must, & a roll off is preferred.. I originally thought the way to go would be SDC's but Jon at naiant...

I'm doing field recording with a Sony PCM D50, and I'm interested in picking up a pair of SDC's for recording out and about.. Nature, Sound FX, & everything that makes sound. :) I'm keeping my eyes peeled for an Apogee mini-me or mini-mp, so thats what will power them eventually.. My price...

I'm not sure which forum category this belongs in... But I read somewhere that the quality of a mic pre is most evident when one upgrades to quality converters, so here I am. :) I use a digi002 and for pre's I use the brick, a joemeek vc6q and of course the onboard 002 (focusrites?).. Anyway...

Any advice on mics to record congas & Bongos In the $300-$500 range? Thanks!

Anyone have any experience with these? I need a stereo pair of mics for recording percussion (mainly congas & bongos)... Any feedback is appeciated.. Thanks!

M-Audio Tampa or GT Brick? Or feel free to hip me to something else in the same range... I've read beaming reviews of both.. Any useful opinions? I record... 95% Vocals - 5% Live instruments... 90% Male vox - 10% Female... 95% Hip Hop - 5% Rock... Other pres I have here are Joemeek vc6q...

I have a decent booth & I'm currently running the mic & headphone cables under the doors.. Which sucks because A) It looks crappy & B) people trip over them.. I'd like to put xlr & 1/4" wall plates in, (or a combo plate) but I'm wondering if this is going to effect the integrity of my signal...

I've been workin on this shit for weeks. The pics dont do justice to how fucked up it was.. That brown silk you see (top right) was originally white in 1930~! It's fuckin lovely now. This is one of 5 vintage bad boys in the arsenal.. But this ones special to me (awww) as it was my...

I have one amp (Alesis ra150) and 3 sets of monitors, (Event 20/20, Yamaha ns10, Auralex cubes). I also have a monster cable speaker selector. Problem is, when I switch to my events, they are much lower in volume to the ns10s.. I know nothing about "ohms" or "bridging".. Why is this...

Yo just a heads up> about half way through this interview theres a link to a bunch of free drums from Bangin Beats. Peace. http://www.illmuzik.com/interviews/banginbeats.php

I'm looking to get and all around decent pair for acoustic guitars, instruments ie; cello, clarinet, overheads etc.. The key here is multi-purpose.. I understand that seems like alot to ask considering the mics I'm listing.. But nevertheless, these are in the $ range I'm looking to spend. Feel...
