Thanks for your response. My idea was to make decent sounding demos to put up on Soundcloud, and probably also use for a friend's Bible meditation videos. I have monitors. The interface could have been better, but I think it will be OK for now. Concerning the mics, I am not sure whether they...

Hi. I'm thinking of creating post-rock / ambient, and wonder what equipment to buy. I have up to about $1200 to spend. I have a Mexican Fender Telecaster with Tonerider hot classics pickups, a Novation Impulse midi keyboard, a good orchestral strings sample library, a noisy solid state amp...

Hi. I'm going to buy a new smartphone next week probably. I have a habit of recording little ideas on the phone. For more serious recording I use my laptop and a pair of Gefell mics. Ideas that I want to keep working on, I re-record on my laptop - so I don't need very high quality recordings...

Received an answer about service. $130 per microphone, JUST for looking at them. In addition comes work and parts. Oh well..

Gefell forwarded my request concerning service of the mics to a local company who can do the service. Maybe i will offer the mics for sale in great shape later.

Hello. I have a pair of Gefell UM70's, NOT stereo matched. One is NOT working properly - when recording the signal comes and goes. I need to test the other for a possible noise issue. The Gefell company repairs these mics today, i think. I've enquired about the cost of service, but haven't...

The UM70 seems to be recognized as a quality mic. It has the M7 capsule. I have a problem with noise when i record fingerpicked guitar. The guitar is quiet. I'm getting a new one soon. Looking for a good deal on a gibson hummingbird.

Thanks. I have two gefell um70 mics. Currently using an m-audio dmp3 mic pre. Was thinking the universal audio mic pre would improve the sound quality quite a bit. Also the focusrite forte pres might be a step up? Btw, i was mistaken about my laptop's RAM - it was 504 mb.

Thanks for your input. I didn't know the amount of RAM affected the sound quality of recordings.

Thanks for the advice. I'm using win xp . One reviewer of the forte soundcard said it worked with xp. I think my laptop has usb 2.0.

256mb ram. Audacity.

Hello. I am using an ooooold laptop with an echo indigo soundcard. I am considering to buy either a focusrite forte soundcard or a universal audio 710 twin finity preamp and keep my echo card. What would give me the best sound quality? I will be recording mostly acoustic guitar, voice and...

Hello. I might be getting a new laptop and a new sound card within some months. I have been using a pcmcia card (echo indigo) and an m-audio dmp3 mic preamp and two condenser mics. Not having used a usb-sound card before, and reading some forum posts about trouble applying phantom power from...

Not optimal.. Thanks.

Hello, I'm starting up a non-profit label, and will be doing a lot of the tracking at home. The first three projects are of acoustic and classical chamber music. My recording chain isn't very strong; echo indigo, dmp3, but i have some nice gefell mics. I was thinking of buying a DAV bg1 pre...
