I'm in the process of using Disc Makers again. I'll let you know how it goes.

I was paranoid about my gear, but I think it stemmed from the fear about not being able to replace it because some of it is a bit pricey. The other fear was that I didn't have gear good enough to make a good album, but I just started making music and got over it. The gear I have is the gear I...

I happen to own both the 4050 and KSM44. I've used them both for lead female vocal and like them both quite a bit. The 4050seems to be prone to a bit more sibalance. The KSM44 to my ears is smoother fatter sound. I'm doing my upcoming album with the KSM44, Onyx mic pre, and LA2A plug in. The...

I've used discmakers for my last album, and will for the soon to be released next album. They've been good to work with. They were pretty prompt getting orders to me once everything was finalized

It's hard to beat the 4050 in that price range. You didn't have the Shure KSM44 on your list. I'm currently using it and like it quite a bit.

These guys are the only way to go www.bandzoogle.com . I love this service and can't say enough good things about the guys that run it.

24/44.1 Recording at 24 bit allows you to get your audio signal as far above the digital noise floor as possible. Listen to a 8 bit recording, and you can appreciate why you would want to get above this ugliness as far as possible. It still maintains that resolution, or being above that noise...

Yep, I love my Masterlink.

Just a note about my friend's comment on the quality of knobs and faders on the Onyx. I just got back from NAMM 05 where I saw the Onyx. I felt the knobs and faders match Mackie's previous quality on their vlz mixers. Unfortunatly they didn't have it set up to listen to. If you didn't go to...

I've been thinking of getting a Mackie 1640 Onyx mixer. A friend of mine just got one and shared his initial impressions with me. I found it helpful, especially how these pres stack up against a $500.00 stand alone single channel mic pre. I thought some people here would find his comments...

Yes, but for mic cable, don't you think he might want the wire that has a thicker insulation to protect the wire?

Are you talking about the thin black Mogami cable? Mogami also makes wire that is thicker insulation that is colored. That is what you might be looking for in a mic cable.

I don't really have any questions, but thanks for taking the time to write that helpful and informative post. Out of those 3 mics, I think I would've naturally gravitated to the 103. thanks again.
