Hi,
I just want to share with you all what a cheap ribbon mic can do.
I put a cheap ribbon mic (t.bonbe rb500) at the back of the stage (behind the drummer) when mixing a small live show here in Sweden yesterday. I always record everything, so put up this mic to be used for ambience for the...
Hi,
I plan to buy a pair of SDCs for use in a decca tree configuration (2 SDCs + 1 LDC). I live in Europe, so I mostly find http://www.thomann.de/index.html?partner_id=97926 to be cheapest store around.
Which one of the three mics below would you buy and why?
Thanks.
1) AT-4022 (399 euro)...
Where should the thickest glass go? I read somewhere (can't remember where) that the thickest glass should be at the control room side. Is this correct? I'd have though it would be the other way around due to louder sound levels in the live room. The glass is 8 mm (~1/3") respectively 6 mm...
I'd like to do some M/S stereo micing and I'm therefore checking up different figure-8 mics (also multi-pattern mics). I recently found out that RODE has a new mic out called NT2000. I also know that SP has its C3 mic (also a multi-pattern).
Is C3 comparable with NT2000? Which one would work...
Hi all,
Just finished the first step on my basement homestudio 3 hours ago (see picture). It'll be a 23 sq meter basement studio. It's now one big room, but I will cut it in two (ctrl and studio room). I will also remove a wall (to a storage room) next to the big room, which will be the vocal...
Can anybody recommend a good, solid figure-8 mic for less than $500, please?
I want to test and try out some MS stereo micing on drums, acoustic guitars and maybe vocals.
The problem is that I can't find any cheap (<$500) figure-8 mics. I was thinking on getting a SD, but maybe a ribbon will...
Does anyone know how well the AD/DA converters stand up against, for instance, MOTU 1296?
I'm planning on buying the D2424 within a month or two. Is 24bit/48khz the highest resolution if I wanna use all 24 channels?
Thanks.
Hi,
I need some advice on audio interfaces for my upcoming home studio.
Here are my requirements:
o) At least 8 ch analog in
o) At least 16 ch analog out
o) 24bit/48khz (96 preferable)
o) LED meters (at least for the inputs)
o) No mic pres (my beautiful analog mixer has 32 mic pres)
In the...
Hi,
I have a question about floor design for my new (first) home studio. The studio will be built in a basement. And as with all basements (at least here in Sweden), they very often have humidity problems. If I put wood (battens?) directly against the concrete basement floor, it'll get...
I'm soon about to make my biggest home recording investment, but before I do that I'd like some input from you. Should I buy the U89 or the U87? (U87 is another $100) It is for recording (pop/rock) vocals and all kind of acoustic instruments (guitars and maybe drums).
I'm leaning towards the...
