bollocks redux!
uhg-- i won't "moderate" (i.e. edit) that post too, but sorry for the soapbox rant.
What kind of clouds the whole picture up ... is that most people start out with cheap gear. And it's kind of hard to make that cheap stuff sound decent, when the person at the helm of said cheap equipment ... doesn't know his ass from his elbow.

Very True, but, even the best engineer will have an impossible time with an Alesis 3630 over, say, an RNC. Both are inexpensive enough.
Sure and a newbie can make a U87 sound like crap too
It's fantastic that this board has a great mix of newbies & experianced people. So that the newbies can find out what cheap gear has potential and the experianced people can get that warm fuzzy feeling that comes from helping people out![]()
F.S.
If the newbie used the U87 the same way he uses Brand-X's $99.98 mic, the U87 should sound better than Brand-X... although his recording may still suck.
and if he/she is a great singer/instrumentalist performing a great song, most people won't hold that against him/her.
the circle continues![]()
Performance and song writing are a given... as mentioned earlier in this thread, and not really a varible for the intentions of this thread.
We are focusing more on the quality of gear and recording talent and not on the musical talent.
please accept my apologies-- i was not aware that you had created this thread under the alias of harvey gerst and therefore it is well within your purview to define what its intentions are......................................................................the point of this thread (at least as i understood it) seems to be getting bogged down with exaggerated pretensiousness, to which i have happily and knowingly contributed![]()
And I guess that's the reason for the bulk of my posts on these forums; to help people get the best out of what they already have, or to offer low cost solutions to common problems.
Having a great song, great instruments, great musicians and a great arrangement are topics that are really outside the scope of this forum, but how to record it all, what to use, and where to place everything, is exactly what this forum should be about.

please take that remark as facetious as it is entirely meant to be. my best work is always with other people too and i completely agree with you otherwise. fwiw in terms of what's been said earlier in the thread, this has all been said already (including what i said in my last post, hence my comment of "the circle continues") . the point of this thread (at least as i understood it) seems to be getting bogged down with exaggerated pretensiousness, to which i have happily and knowingly contributed![]()
Apology accepted.![]()
nice-- touche
hope everyone can lighten up a little![]()
We can; you are cool in my book.
I have learned MUCH in this thread and I hope to learn more.

hahaAs there such a thing as better crap??
This thread has a circular fashion to iteveryone agrees but, the valid points just lead you round and round
F.S.
hahahaActually I could stomach a u87 at used prices.
Oh and I found a hell of a deal on a U47!!!
Amazing price at this place!
You should check this out chess. It's a perfect match at the right price!
