    Oktava Ribbon mic?

    Has anyone tried this Oktava Ribbon microphone? How does it compare to traditional studio standard ribbons, like Royer, etc? http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/sid=020501162724068052249106325594/search/g=home/detail/base_id/58335

    Fun with Antares Mic Modeller

    It might not be 100%, but if you have this plugin and are bored, you can get a good idea of what some mics sound like compared to others if you take a .wav from a song you know <or other recorded sound>, set the source to bypass mic, and the destination to different mics..switch between to hear...

    AKG C451b..classical recording in general

    Is this an electret condenser? The specs say it can operate from a minimum of 9V, so I'm inclined to think so? Also, as far as being used for a stereo pair for classical recording, does anyone have an opinion on how natural this mic sounds, especially as compared to a Neumann KM184? Was the...

    beta mix, any thoughts?

    I'm doing a project with a very talented musician and we recorded 2 covers for the end of his upcoming album..this particular one was recorded 'live', guitar and vocals at the same time, no overdubs..I didn't start mixing yet, because I want to wait for the rest of the album so I can get a...

    hmm..whitney houston song

    You guys know that Whitney Houston song, from the Bodyguard, I will always Love you? Do you think they recorded that 'live' like they showed scenes from in the movie, or is that a studio recording? The vocals seem to sound like they are from a dynamic, I can hear breath pops here/there, and the...

    hum / RFI question

    I know this is the mic forum, but this is mic related mostly.. I am getting a clear radio signal for some reason that I never noticed before, with my Neumann TLM103's..I can actually hear the radio program very well..and I am a perfectionist and it's really pissing me off greatly..it's not...

    Neumann TLM103 sample

    Finally got the go-ahead to post this, if anyone wants to hear.. I recorded a quick 'sample' for a potential client, and I used my TLM 103 for the vocal...no EQ, just a little compession, and my own little reverb tricks/fun...He didn't have an amp, and his guitar was this weird electro-acoustic...

    vocals - doubling and harmony

    Anyone know a good vocal doubling plugin? Something that has a commercial/polished kinda sound to it..I know all about the use of delay/pitch shifting to fake a doubler..but I can't get the right sound that I hear commercially..something that can be run out of Sound Forge, like a DirectX...

    vocals

    OH MY..I just recorded an amazing singer today with my new TLM103, and I almost had to clean up a mess..even through the generic Mackie pre-amp..so it can only get better when I add more toys <preamp> and more mics at some point.. So wow..Neumann is g0d. BUT, a quick question..where do you get...

    Anyone else having problems with AMS?

    I placed an order a week or so ago with American Musical Supply, which included another AKG C3000b..the idiots somehow changed it to a C2000b, and backordered it..I informed them of this, and they fixed it, to an AKG C3000..I then emailed them informing them the C3000 was replaced with the...

    Audio Technica says electrets don't lose their charge?

    I emailed Audio Technica because the pair of AT3528's I bought during the summer have a very low output level..I have to crank the gain all the way, with the fader at U, on my Mackie 32*8, to get them peaking around 0db, when used as drum overheads.....They told me the mics were designed to not...

    Neumann KM184 vs Earthworks SR77's

    As far as live stereo recording with a matched pair of Mics..has anyone used both the Neumann KM184 and the Earthworks SR77 <or 78?>, and can give a comparison of the 2, for this purpose? If not for this particular use, has anyone experience with both in general, and can provide a comparison...

    OK, so here are the differences I know off hand between the LX20 and XT20..The XT has 1/4 balanced IO, and the other connector thingie which I can't remember the name for..also according to the technical specs, I think the LX20 has 64x oversampling on recording, while the XT20 has 128x .. they...
