Id be happy too...just remeber who earl is...and look at his link...he has only been at this for a few months and recorded 2-3 things...if the links are really his...most of the rest of us have been doing this for over a decade...you would be better off just putting him on ignore.

Ive seen some really good players use them...thier quality is quite good...and I wouldnt feel bad about adding a locking bridge like I would a strat since you dont have that stigma that it might be super valueable if Id left it to my children or something.

I started playing piano at the age of nine, started playing guitar at the age of thirteen...always owned at least one

You record other people, and as far as I can tell you compose nothing of your own (or you haven't posted any when asked)


I have no idea what your purpose is on this HOMERECORDING website..


you mock me you mock every single person getting into this as either a hobby or as a means of expressing their art and/or talent..you do not belong here..that's painfully obvious


You've got nothing on me pal..you're a fucking trained monkey
 
Okay, I'm considering shutting down this thread if it continues trending the way it is. Debate is healthy, a little tongue in cheek commentary is fine also. Don't let conversations stray too far from the topic. Don't get too personal and if you feel you need to insult, take it to the cave. Not even PM's.

Cool???

Its your call, he started the name calling..I was quite happy to walk away from it or take it to the cave..he seems unwilling..do as you see fit, I don't think the thread has any purpose now

People are going to get good and bad advice. I don't think anyone should put down anyone else's reply. Hearing diffrent idea's is the point of this isn't it. It's up to the reader to sort out the good from the bad.

But if you guys take it to the cave, I want front row. :)

Absolutely correct. We're here to read differing points of view. And both sides have valid arguments. I don't want this thread (and others with the similar debate) to get diluted with all the trivial bickering. Readers are going to come across this thread in future and it would be nice if they walk away something useful.

I don't think this has gotten to the point of shutting it down... yet. But it is heading there and I'm just trying to nudge it back on topic. :)
 
OK where were we


I recorded my last track using the ART MP project, as I was saying earlier, for the guitars, bass, and vocals...with no noise (and through a Behri 1604a what a shocker)

Id highly recommend it for a starter project, they were $120 but can now be found for around $60...they are also USB connected (which the first ones weren't)..I changed the tube with a mullard (I think) I got of ebay..really helped give it a larger sound, especially on my acoustic twelve string..which Id struggled getting a good recording of before

prolly worth the little extra cash...though the V3 gets good reviews its seems limited to presets, why limit yourself?...the limiter works pretty well on the Project (much better than the multigains terrible attempt)...it has around 70db of clean gains and is sturdily built

and it produces no noise..no hum...nothing...did I mention that? ;)

Nope...it was like you were a child that just walks into a conversation and decides they are a big expert on a thread that they never even saw...just to be an irritation

And you were a huge dick about it!!!

If you had to build a studio just to get some musician friends...I can see why you had to take those steps...but the reality is if you have to offer them something to be your friend...they are not really your friends.

Darrin, out of morbid curiosity, can you take ANY disagreement or constructive criticism without having to reply with personal insults?

I haven't said a word about your friends or your name or whether or not I think you're cool because you have a studio. Nor have I called you a child or a huge dick or really anything else. I merely said, quite rightly, I think, that it's worth considering that this thread is being discussed in a website called "Home Recording.com" and that it's about home recording, not recording, that some people just enjoy the act of recording, and automatically telling everyone who doesn't have a couple grand to spend on gear not to even bother is counterproductive because so many people here got started on shoestring budgets.

And you reply by saying "if you don't have anything nice to say, then go back to holding your tongue. Also, change your name, it's in poor taste." I think if ANYTHING in this thread was in poor taste, man, it was that response.

Dimes to dollars, he won't follow. ;)

BTW- you're probably right on the Yamaha, I suppose I was exaggerating a little. It's no match for my American strat, but unless we're talking an unusually good Squier, Mexi is probably more fair.
 
Can we get back to the topic? I really would like to see the results on this comparison. I am definitely in the market for a preamp.

So far, others on this forum has convinced me of the M-Audio DMP3. But I want to see if the Studio V3 will be 'good enough' for what I do since it's cheaper.

Well, in terms of prices, the DMP3 is not that much more than a V3. (Well it is in percentage wise but actual money spent not really.) So maybe the DMP3 is the way to go if I decide that's the route I am going with.

I saw a comparison over on gearslutz between a DMP3 and a $2500 Avalon (or something in that price range) and many responders couldn't tell the difference. It was an eye-opener. I've always considered getting a DMP3 for myself.
