I've just recently bought some monitors (have previously been mixing with headphones). One thing they seem to have brought out is a kind of congested quality in everything I have recorded in my (untreated) room. I did an EQ sweep and boost through some tracks, and I found, at exactly 194Hz on...

It's called Cygnus-2. Looks interesting. I have a VMP2000, which I like, but would be good to have something cleaner as well. http://www.sebatron.com/

Hi guys, If any of you folk are miraculously at a complete loose end, download the songs I've put up at: http://www.myspace.com/blackandwhitemary These are songs I've recorded for our band's demo. You'd probably need to download, rather than stream, to evaluate, though. Myspace recompresses...

Just curious to know whether there are (decent) active monitors with headphone outs for around the price of the Wharfedales... Tried a search on this but failed to come up with anything. Thanks. :)

I've just been recording some tracks for a solo acoustic guitar/vocals CD I'm making. For the guitar, I've mainly used Studio Projects C4 (when I wanted a brighter, more focused sound) and a spaced Shure KSM 32 and KSM44 pair when I wanted a richer, less focused sound. Just wondering whether I...

Shure KSM44 Shure KSM32 Rode NT1000 MXL V67 Studio Projects C4 pair Beyer Soundstar MkII Electrovoice RE15 Preamp: Sebatron V2000e I figure I have (1) reasonably neutral/uncoloured covered with the Shures, (2) bright/hyped covered with the Rode, (3) dark/coloured covered with the MXL. For me...

This is the title of a song I've written in the past few weeks, and recorded a couple of weeks ago. Probably, I should have put this in the MP3 clinic, but the thing is, I spend most of my time on this forum, and have come to value the opinions of the various members here. And I checked out...

I'm thinking of buying one more mic before I stop buying mics for a while. :eek: One of the mics I now own is the MXL V67. In some ways it is flattering on my voice and gives it a nice, full sound. On my voice, this is a good thing for some songs. And it's decent value for what I paid for...

I'm looking to get a 2-channel preamp. I record mostly solo acoustic guitar/guitar & vocals/some electric guitar. At my current price-point (and living in Australia) I've narrowed it down to two options. (1) Sebatron 2-channel preamp. (2) Toft channel-strip, then a couple of months down the...

I just received an ebay-purchased RE15 today. It's so small! Somehow, I thought it would be bigger. Anyway, I'm itching to cut some vocal tracks with it. Will let you know how I fare. If it turns out well, it will be all kudos to this board, and guys like chessrock and chessparov, who have...

I've been following trends on ebay, and have worked out that I can get a used RE15 mic for around a third of the price of a used RE20. Bearing in mind what I've read on this board and others, which suggest that the RE15 is a pretty handy vocal mic, is there really a significant difference...

These are my 3 main vocal mics. After a bit of experience with them all, I have found that the Rode is good for louder vocals, the Beyer wins on quiet vocals, and the Shure is too mid-rangy for my voice (but the Shure is a great acoustic guitar mic). Funny thing is that the Beyer cost me very...

I have a chance to get an AT 4041 at a good price. Just wondering how it would stack up against my Studio Projects C4, which I'm reasonably happy with.

Beyer Soundstar MkII on Acoustic Guitar I don't have a preamp at the moment, so just for fun, I tried recording a song using only my dynamic mics. Just an acoustic guitar track and vocals, put through an old Boss mixer. The result was a bit noisy, but interesting. I tried 3 mikes: the...

I'm tossing up between these two options: (1) DMP3 & Groove Tubes Brick (2) Sytek MPX-4Aii Main uses: recording acoustic guitar, male vocals, the occasional sax, clarinet. My voice I would describe as a light baritone. Music style: mainly folk/jazz with the odd bit of rock here and there...

Something that comes up on this forum all the time is that there is no one perfect mic. A mic has to be matched to the thing it is recording. Then there's issues of placement, etc., etc. The funny thing is, that I know some people who work in specialised fields where, if you tried to ask them...

Sorry for cross-posting this, but I haven't received any replies on the "Rack" forum. Since I mostly hang out here, I was hoping some of you guys might have some idea about what's going wrong. When I turn on the unit, the VU meter for the left channel immediately goes into the red, even with...

When I turn on the unit, the VU meter for the left channel immediately goes into the red, even with no mic plugged in. If I record the "sound", then I hear a loud humming noise. Any ideas as to what might be wrong would be GREATLY appreciated - I was about to start a new recording project, but...

A couple of weeks ago, I bought a Soundstar MkII from Ebay. I'd been using an SM58 for backing vocals, and an LD condenser for main vocals. When I saw what people on this site, and on other sites, were saying about the Beyer mic, I thought I'd take a punt on it. Recently, I saw a quote from...

Hi, I recently bought some Studio Projects C4s. Recently, I read a thread on a forum (can't recall if it was this forum) where someone suggested that if you ever use one of the matched mics individually, then the pair will no longer be matched. I don't know why this would be true, but I just...
