    Shure Small diaphragm condenser PG81 to record snare!?

    As the title says, has anyone used a PG81 to record a snare? No matter what brand of mic, has anybody ever used a SDC to record snare? All opinions are appreciated. Cheers!

    Nico style, Cheap Tremolo Stopper!

    After buying a new (to me, used) Ibanez RG5EX1, I decided to set it up myself for the first time. Previously I owned a Jackson PS4, and had it "professionally" setup. One thing I noticed during setup that was particularly anoying, is how the bridge fluctuates while tuning and intonating...

    Detuning guitars

    I have 4 guitars, and normally I use them for recording only. I don't gig with them. Everytime I'm into a new project, I just take them out of the gig bag and play; I don't detune them. I normally play one guitar, once a week, so basically I use every guitar once a month.... Should I detune...

    Tracks out of sync!

    Latency using an analog mixer

    I really can't understand why I'm having latency problems with my new laptop; my setup and rigging hasn't changed, except for the new laptop that is. *Here's how I rig: 1) I use a Peavey PV6 analog mixer. All my mics and line instruments go into this board. 2) I plug my board's tape out into...

    Nico style cheap shockmount!

    Since in my country there are no shockmounts available for my Audio Technica AT2020 condenser mic, I decided to make one myself. It came out cheap, and very sturdy. I'll let the pics do the talking. Cheers!

    Shure PG81 condenser for vocals?

    I usually record my vocals using an SM57 + pop screen, and I'm just curious. Can you record vocals using a PG81 small diaphragm condenser? Has somebody done it, and if so, what were the results? Thanks.

    Help me with my bass!

    I own a Yamaha RBX200 bass. I know it's old ('80s), but it sounded great when I bought it second hand a couple of years ago. In time, it has stopped sounding crisp, and a terrible humming is audible no matter what I do to my recording/editing gear. Now I'm really having problems when trying to...

    Speakers or headphones?!

    After mixing with headphones for 10 years, I finally decided to try and mix using speakers. I can't say they are monitors cause they aren't. I have a pair of Infinity cabinets, fitted with 8" woofers and 1" soft dome tweeters. I chose this pair of speakers, because they are my finest sounding...

    2488

    Hi guys. I finally got the money I need to upgrade from my DP-01 to a 2488:D:D The downside's are: 1) to get full warranty and coverage I have to order it from my local Tascam dealer; and that my friends is going to cost me $1400 2) Their Latin American Tascam supplier only has the standard...

    Waveform volume problem while tracking

    I'm starting to use CEP for tracking. Before, I used it only for mixing. I'm using my Tascam 414 as a pre and for monitoring. I tried tracking some guitars today, and here's what happened: Whenever I started, the waveform recorded as if I used Fade In (I hope I make sense here:)). And that...

    Has this ever happened to you??

    I was about to record some guitar tracks this morning; suddenly when I tried plugging the cable into my effects board, I noticed I couldn't. I checked the cable's plug, and the ring wasn't there:eek: I took a lamp and checked inside the effects board female 1/4 plug, and guess what? The ring is...
