What I saw in the overlay is that the very top end drops at around 16k or so but it's already past the advertised high freq. range of the mic. To me there is no audible difference between the two (except for the gain drop) and the graphs kind of point to that. Having said that, I'm 57 years old...

I was curious enough to do a simple test. I placed an SM58 5" in front of one of my monitors and recorded some pink noise. I then connected in the impedance mod and recorded the same pink noise without changing anything else. Took both files into Rx. The recording with the mod was 15db lower. I...

I'm with grn, I do that a lot with bass.

I got myself a replacement foam screen for ShopVac vacuum for around $5. It's that same coarse type foam I've seen in a lot of mics (rather than the tighter celled external wind screen foam) Shop-Vac Micro Foam Sleeve (9052500) - Wet / Dry Vacuum Accessories - Ace Hardware

Hello good peoples, I thought I'd share this: I had several pair of FOSTEX T20 headphones that I used for monitoring during tracking. With age the ear cups got really nasty with cracking and flaking. I looked into replacement cups. $19 each (not a pair) Too much! I found some after market ones...

I should also add, and I think this is very important, that when ever I put a fresh card in the 24 I do a FULL format (using the DP24 utility). I used to have trouble with a Marantz digital recorder and formatting inside the machine solved it.

I've done 8 tracks at once in 24 bit depth with no problems. I was using 44.1k sample rate though. I tracked a band all day long and no problems. Kingston micro SD chip with the SD adapter, class 10. Also straight mic to track...no other on board processing such as compression. Playback checked...

I love the ACME Turd Polish icon. I use that one a lot!

I thought I'd share this because these things are a dime a dozen and IMO a lot of bang for the buck. I've had mine for over 12 years and although I have other, bigger tube amps this is the one I grab to bring to an open mic or impromptu jam at a cookout. It's small and light and (for me)...

I got a spider III 75 for $25. The input jack was broken and I had it fixed in 15 min. The biggest problem I have with these amps are the controls. I spend more time fiddling with the settings than I do playing. Then when you get a sound you like you had better save it (yet more button pushing)...

This is probably unconventional but I like to run my guitar clean into the reverb. I even do this on my rig. I DI the signal on my pedal board before any of the effects and dirt pedals etc, except the wah pedal. Run that through a Lexicon MX200, a clean amp and separate speakers. To my ears it...

Nice work, on all levels. Really shows what the unit is capable of in the right hands.

I've been wanting to try this: Make a "stomper" framing an old license plate and wire a bass pickup underneath it. Of coarse you'd have to amplify it though.

I'm only half joking here, but the old radio guys I knew got their "voice" from years of experience and generous use of bourbon and unfiltered cigarettes.

I've used Ernie Ball regular slinky for over 20 years. Why? Simply because they're so easy to spot on the shelf ; )
