Yeah, It sounds kind of silly at first, but I actually use it as a technique from time to time on those tunes that I want to really impact emotionally. In Vino Veritas. Note that you won't have a very big window to capture a good take with this method. Usually about 30-45 minutes in "the groove"...

Thats exactly the info I was looking for. I did go ahead and pick up the cheap capsule and installed it. No issues with the voltage. It actually sounds pretty good. Definitely a different color than my C1. Ultimately that is what I was looking for. Thanks so much for getting me on the right...

Yeah, I definitely picked up on that when I was comparing the Peluso to this one. This being my first attempt at it, the cost difference would certainly take some of the sting away if I break something. I will certainly try to get with Dave on that. Thanks for that info. My big concern now is...

He was extremely helpful even before the sale. I did want a mod from him, perhaps more, I laid out my gear and setup and he steered me away from some and offered suggestions for others. I think some that have him do mods have zero technical skills. (I have performed mods on some pres, built...

kidvybes any info on k47 style capsules? Just curious if you or anyone else has any dealing with this guy RK-47 Microphone Capsule | K47 | Microphone Parts Way cheaper than any other k47 tyle capsule that I have been able to find. The Peluso goes for over 200. The Peluso is a 6 micron and...

Does anyone else have clipping issues with their drum mics? Basically, no matter what preamp / mic combination I try, I have to crank the input gain on the pre all the way down to nothing, and still have issues with some mics. The snare mic is the worst. I've tried a 57 using the digi002...

I had a AKG 400 tip over on me and land on it's face once. Had to sell it for parts. Dent in the grille - big red flag. Get a Studio Projects C1. It has become one of my favorite vocal mics in the cabinet.

I saw Alan Hyatt post the same thing on here somewhere. It's really hard to find because he posts so often.

I saw Alan Hyatt post about this somewhere on this board. He said that they had a bad batch of transformers go out the door at one point. He did say that SP would be more than happy to replace them.

Studio Projects C1 I love this mic. Some mic snobs may scoff due to the price point but I am a believer now. Fantastic for female vocals or a guy with a high range. It has a little bump around 7k but sounds similar to a U87 other than that. There are actually some side by side recording clips...

Studio Projects C1 Don't turn your nose up at this one until you try it. I finally took advice from a producer friend of mine and picked one up. (for around $200-$225 it was worth a look). It is one of my favorite vocal mics in my studio now. It has been reviewed by several people as a pretty...

Ha It's cool right? I think I will try flying it around with some sansamp automation and see what comes of it. I do see the ping pong thing that you are talking about now. I think I agree that it is certainly a delay in lieu of a verb that is giving it that far away ambiance. It's just one...

Graph Mode You can use Autotune in graph mode and manipulate it manually. I don't think I have ever used it in auto mode. The best way to get that good vocal track is to do it over and over until you can get it right.

Hmm Raine Maida and Robert Smith
