    Audio Technica AT 802 Omnidirectional Dynamic Mic

    A friend and I are cleaning out his parents house after they passed away, and we found an Audio Technica AT 802 Omnidirectional Dynamic mic in MINT condition with case. I cannot find any information on this mic anywhere. Can anyone tell me anything about this mic? Thanks for the help.

    Strat + Marshall + SM57 - did I capture it well?

    Good comments, thank you. The strat used was a Lonestar Strat with a Duncan JB humbucker in the bridge position. This is more than likely the reason for the not-so-classic strat sound. Thanks for the mids comment...you are spot on, as I usually boost the mids slightly on the guitars. Also...

    Strat + Marshall + SM57 - did I capture it well?

    This is my first post here, and I will try to be brief and specific. What am I looking for from you? I simply would like your feedback on the quality of the sound I captured; clarity and tone. It is merely two tracks of a strat through a Marshall with a fairly clean tone captured with an...

    Warming Digital Tracks - Most Effective?

    Ok, so if I want to invest in the Lucid, I will have to dump the Delta 44 because there is no ability to use an external word clock, so... if I understand correctly... It is better to have a lower end sound card and interface, say a Delta 1010, along with say an external Lucid Word Clock, than...

    Warming Digital Tracks - Most Effective?

    Ed, Perhaps my choice of words did not convey my message effectively enought. I did not intend to discount anyone's advice in particular. My communication is based solely on my experience to date, which is signficantly less than many of you. That is why I am here. If I am off-base, thanks...

    Warming Digital Tracks - Most Effective?

    Since I have Cubase SX, I do use the True Tape utility, and I do get hotter signals with some distortion added. I do think it's cool, and I do use it regularly. Maybe the difference I am hearing and trying to achieve has to do with frequencies captured and reproduced on tape vs. digital. Is...

    Warming Digital Tracks - Most Effective?

    Some good suggestions, points of view, and some, uh, interesting comments. For those recommending high-end gear purchases (external A/D D/A converters, word clock, preamps, etc.). I understand where you are coming from, and I appreciate the information. I have been down that road before...

    Warming Digital Tracks - Most Effective?

    Hey, glad to hear that dragonfly is working out for you and getting good use! I picked up a Shure KSM 44 a while back and it's been killer for me. Thanks for taking the time to put together some great information. Yes - the DBX 386 sucks, used it once or twice and put it away. I do have an...

    Warming Digital Tracks - Most Effective?

    I want to find out the methods you are using to warm up your digital tracks. I love digital for the power, flexibility, and ease of use. However, for me, it's not giving me that special warming quality that tape has. 95% of the time, I am recording 80's rock style music (Y&T, Whitesnake...

    new tune -- let me know your thoughts and suggestions

    I listened to all 3 songs, and here are my general comments. The production is good...sounds like contemporary metal. I like the drum programming. Nice job creating a nice groove and feel with the bass guitar and drums. However, I think the sound of the kit needs to be more deep, dark...

    3 Chord Rock

    Nice feel! I like the groove of the song, the recording of the acoustic guitar and the vocal harmonies. I agree with a previous post of John Lennon...sounds like his style. What would I change? Fade out faster Cut out the guitar solo or do a short melodic solo on nylon string guitar or steel...

    Any helpful comments

    After listening at low volume on cambridge soundworks speakers (I am at work!)...I wanted to hear the snare and kick more. I think they are a driving force in this style of music, and they are lacking in this mix.

    Couple of songs for you all to check out...

    Stumble... For some reason, maybe my speakers, the HiHat seemed overbearing. It seemed to be way out front, treading on the other instruments; particularly during the intro. Other than that, I thought it was done well. Everybody Knows... Not into the punk thing, but it sounds like what I am...
