Fuckwit alert! :rolleyes:

Depends entirely on the quality/calibre of the studio and the feasibility/need for another studio in your particular area....

In theory there's no difference, but in reality it really depends on the client's budget, time frame and the nature of the project.

Nope - never.... I should have said Mackie, which I'm familiar with....... :cool:

I find the difference between a 57 thru a Behringer and a 57 thru a Great River IS quite significant..... so much so that the 57 thru the GR sounds like an entirely different mic altogether! :cool:

Oh yeah? Put a 57 thru a Behringer (or Mackie, or M-Audio, or Presonus) on a guitar cab alongside a 57 thru a Great River or Phoenix on that same cab and see if you still think that, Ed.... :cool: However, I will agree with you that only having poor/mediocre pres shouldn't stop a skilled...

I use a Sony DMXR100 with my HD24! ;) :p :p

if you're getting thin, washy cymbals sounds that's definitely NOT the mic - the 4041 is quite an eminently usable small-dia condenser. Weak, thin, washy cymbals come from phase issues due to mic placement.

Not really, it's usually quite clear what is a high-end pre.... where it's less clear is with the gear that is "sorta" high-end - not quite in the same league/price point as the big boys, but not midrange/mediocre either...

Go to Fletcher's place (Mercenary Audio) - those are all the big-boy toys! :cool:

If you can't hear a half dB EQ adjustment - you have no business behind a console!

The VXP (which I have) has the same input stage (pre) as the MP20.... I hadn't used the VXP in quite some time (before which I'd always found it adequate but not "great").... but anyways, after not using for a number of months, I decided to use it on a voice-over session (I'd normally have used...

That's where the "air" in a mix is....... and you want to be careful with any boosts or cuts in this area - adjustments in that freq band are usually only fractions of a dB (quarter, half, three-quarters)... :cool:

What... the "Free Ads for Music / Recording Equipment" forum was busy or something??? Post it where it belongs.... https://homerecording.com/bbs/forumdisplay.php?f=6

I assure that the Great River probably sounds different than the BG-1, but not better - at the high-end, pres are chosen for their subtle coloration characteristics. The Presonus stuff isn't in the same league as either of them, so it's apples and oranges...
