    Studio Projects B1 and B3

    Cheers for that, Unfortunately I'm international, so can't take advantage of the B-stock clearance... I'll probably keep an eye out for a second B1 and pick up a B3 at some point down the road.

    Studio Projects B1 and B3

    Howdy, I've got a Studio Projects B1 and find I keep reaching for it time and again. I like it for Drums and Guitar Cabs, and since I find myself recording more and more bands live, was considering picking up a second. I was thinking of getting a B3 to complement it. I would like to...

    whats a good size woofer? tweeter?

    the size of a speaker means little in relationship to the implementation of the driver. Im using a pair of PMC TB2's for monitoring, which are fairly flat down to about 40Hz. they only have a 6 driver, but they are a semi-transmission line speaker, which gives them extra extension. I was...

    bass drum mic

    No-one ever seems to mention the AKG D550, which I find is a great little kick mic. just throw it in there nice and close and voila.

    mic y spliter

    unfortunately, Live mixing and recording are two different things. if your taking the direct out, then you are generally getting the signal after the gain stage. the gain has been set so that channel will peak in the main mix when the fader is up. if you are going to record this, then bear in...

    Crappy piece of crap mics being sold today...

    I used my spanking new V67 in a seesion today. I had been using a B1 previously on the singer, and from what I'd read I thought that this mic would work better on her vocals. Well, it did. I must saythat for the asking price it is a great mic to have around. I can see that it wouldn't work...

    Hey Ausrock...

    Thanks Ausrock, A part of what I was charged was an Electronic entry charge, which I'd never heard of before, and quarantine clearance. next time I guess it pays to investigate shipping options a bit more carefully, and try and seek someone who will ship it via UPS/Aust Post. the other thing...

    In what order do you prefer to record?

    I've done it many ways, in fact I can't really think of any recordings I've recorded the same way. Its nice to start with drums, but because we frequently would work without a drummer we would jam on the guitar and bass til we were happy, and then work out some drums. then we would record the...

    Hey Ausrock...

    I've just lost out on the import battle... I'm currently waiting for the courier to arrive, but got a call yesterday to say that I would need to pay GST and duty on delivery. I ordered a V67 and Audio Buddy, $365 Australian and now Im getting slugged another $106 for GST and duty. that price...

    Rode Broadcaster - Any use other than spoken word?

    I've used them for recording acoustic guitar aswell, and they do a really nice job of that. but yes, they are primarily designed as a broadcast microphone.

    2 channel Mic Pre

    I ended up going with the audio buddy because it was also available from the same store I was ordering a V67G from, and it saves me on shipping. I've found the Ultragain locally fairly cheap so I will pick that up when I get paid next. all in all the two preamps will cost me roughly was I was...

    2 channel Mic Pre

    Thanks guys for all the help, although I really like the DMP3, I will probably go for the behringer, simply because I can get it so much cheaper, and It will do the job for now. Down the line I can go up to the DMP3 or even something better( I think the Studio Projects VTB2 looks interesting...

    2 channel Mic Pre

    Hello all. Im about to begin a recording for some friends of mine, and I'm using this as an excuse to go out and buy a half decent preamp. I've been using the inputs on my old TASCAM mixer, which sadly is now in another state, so I've only got the mic pres on the front of my C-PORT, which for...

    best mics for recording cymbals?

    The Rode NT5 is the stereo pair, the NT4 is a single point stereo mic. I use Rode NT3's, which give a really nice sound for a pair of overheads. If you can get a studio projects B1, then use that off to the side of the hi-hat. magic. -Dr S

    I Know I need something but what?

    if its a one off, just hire a few more preamps. or a mixer. dont worry about mixing with the mixer, just use the direct-outs from each channel into your digi-001. just adjust each channels gain so you are getting a good clean level on the recorder and that should do the job. as far as mixer...

    B1 or a B3

    I've already got a Studio Projects B1, and was thinking of getting another one because its a fairly useful mic to have around, and was thinking it would be good to have a pair to be able to use for stereo and overheads. But I was also thinking of getting a B3.the B3 is more expensive, but I...

    questions about mics

    Many of the recorders on the market use 1/4" jacks as a connection. All you need to do is use a mic cable to change the XLR end at the mic to a 1/4" jack at the recorder end. You can buy them pre made or make them yourself. a 1/4" jack can still be a balanced jack. if this is the case then...

    Education

    Thanks for the advice guys. I think if going to work in a studio is the aim, then really you would need the formal training. Im not so sure that I want to work in someone elses studio though, but then again, there is so much more that a formal training course will teach you than I would pick up...

    Education

    I' just picking up in something that was addressed breifly in the thread on making a living which has recently re-surfaced. Is it worth getting some formal education in the recoring business? I've decided I really want to work in the music industry, and I've moved to a new city where the music...

    Delta 44 omni or C-port?

    I use a C-Port. for the price over here is australia there wasn't much else to compare with it. Yes the two pre-amps on the front panel aren't the greatest in the world, but they are more than sufficient for my home studio applications. I run mine from a TASCAM M312B mixing desk fromt he...
