-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I picked one up after reading a bit about them and how transparent they are. I googled the daylights out of it and there is no manual to be had. I have some basic questions that I am hoping some of you can help...

what was your opinion?

I am going to make the leap into a high end mic preamp. I want the quietist, cleanest, and least coloured one possible. I really can't go more than $1500. I finally had a chance to use a high end preamp (it was a prototype and not for sale so I can't buy that brand) and i really could hear the...

I recorded something onto a 2 track mini disc in my md8. when we were done we listened back to it. sounded great. i left the mini disc in the machine when i unplugged it and went home. I go to turn it on to mix it down and it says that it is now a blank disc! this has not happened before. what...

Going to make the plunge. But, i need to get an "affordable" 24 channel mixing board to go with it. Yamaha? Mackie?........ What are you using or what do you suggest? Also, i will not be using a computer with this. It will be just HD24 and the mixer. Thanks -wietlispach

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=15198&item=7306832731&rd=1 Well, it might be good.

I got a sennheiser 441 today and noticed it needed a lot of fricken gain. It sounded good, but I was surprised at the juice it needed from my alesis mixer/board. It sounded better using my dmp3, at least in terms of gain. I was thinking about buying a shure sm7 next, but read somewhere on here...

Besides the light, is there a difference? I just picked up a black one cheap. What does the switch do, mine does not seem to move, but the mic woks fine. It's missing that presence peak adapter it comes with, is that really worth having? This is one mic on this board that people either like...

Someone asked me to record his band at a club while they play live. The only issue I have is recording the vocals. If there is only one vocal mic and its going to the house PA, what are my options in getting that vocal. He can't sing into two mics. Is there a 2/1 box cheaply available? Do most...

Is this that Nady with a new name? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=47069&item=3779601137&rd=1 Be an ironic name if it's made in China!

Is this the same mic or different? Only the "i" is listed on their website. Thanks.

Anybody ever tried those "extreme isolation headphones form direct sound"? Here is a link. http://www.frontendaudio.com/Extreme%20Isolation%20Headphones.htm I think they might be very usefull if as advertised. Do they sound okay? Are they real uncomfortable? Might be an x-mas gift to myslef.

I bought one of these a few months ago and last week was my first time trying it in a non testing application. I used it to mic my reeds in a free jazz group that I have. I usually use my beyer 500 or one of my groove tube tube mics for this. Wow, what an unusualy different sound. It was sure...

I know how it works. But, I am curious to know what applications you have used this patern in, both sucessful and not. What are some situations where it really excelled in a situation where you thought it might not. What kind of recording situation would you immediatly think "figure 8" ?

A lot of folks have been asking what is the best mic under a grand for this application or that application. In the end, it's all just subjective. Some sight say that the SM7 is the best for vocals, or maybe a good ribbon like the AES. Some might say that the AKG 414 is best for many...

Saw this on ebay today, so they have finally made it to market. Has anybody seen a review or tried one of these puppies yet. When this was discussed earlier it was only conjecture as to the quality of the mics's innards. Could be cool, could be crap...

I do a lot of recording with treated horns (playing sax/bass clarinet through effects like delay and reverb). I've gotten real good at creating sax choirs with overdubbing reverbed out sax solos. Here's the situation I want to record. I have access to a building lobby space that has mind...

With no consideration to sound quality issues, what do you guys think is the coolest looking mic made today (no vintage, that should be a differant thread). Those odd looking blue mics? RE 20? Coles ribbons? That Rode stereo mic? etc.......................

So many folks on this board rave about these two mics for voice/vocals. I have used the re20 at the radio station I work at and think it sounds great. These seem to be similer mics in terms of size and application. Is there a major differance between the two, and if you were to get one, which...

If you are using a mic preamp to run a ribbon mic, and in turn have this preamp going into your mixer, which is also running a bunch of condensor mics at 48v, can the phantom power go from the mixers xlr's out to the preamp and ruin the ribbon mic? (This is probably one hell of a run on...
