It definitely looks like switcher noise imposing on the clock on the scope. Get an iFi iPurifier3 and that will fix the signal issues.

the humbucker coil is part of the diaphragm assembly and I would have to split the black piece open on the capsule. I did dissect one once but I never took pictures. But when I do the transformer mod, I just tape off the two wires that come from the inductor onto the filter board I remove with...

I'll dig one out and take a picture when I have time this weekend. But the hardest thing was figuring out a way to mount it. The last time I saw him was a couple of months before his accident and he was using it in this one corner space area that was enclosed on one side with a glass sliding...

The humbuker is just a counter-wind tied in series. so they act like a small inductor filtering way past the audio range and counteract proportionally when electro magnetic radiation imposes on the mic coil. But since the inductance is small they don't interfere like they do with guitar pickups...

Since you recorded it I would try limiting to something like -3 and render that on another track, then gain stage it to -10 nominal then compress it on a bus. If you think it needs a little air mix the raw track a tiny bit onto the stereo mix. That is one way I would try first. But like Alan...

Well it really depends on what you are working with recording it. But you have to crank the gain then run it through a transparent limiter then into the interface. They don't want ordinary people to know how to do this because they think its either job security or competitive edge of some kind...

Its because the person that I ignored doesn't know a real mic preamp input doesn't provide a load for the input, but a line in does. Digging further in your reply, it looks like they cobbled something together, but its not correct either.

The old mod for it was to remove the filter and inset a TAB-58 transformer. Then the SM7 worked on anything and sounded better.

There are uses for Cd, but yes, you should focus on the mix rather than a certain output volume and establish a range of piano to fortissimo is more important in the mix as the levels, if they are too far apart will reveal a weaker sound overall. So you have to find that balance that works with...

quiet mix sounds better however it becomes weak when you burn it to a CD because they destroyed the format for everyone. When they master for a CD they soft clip and even hard clip with clip restoration. That is why it is very difficult to get that volume in the first place. Because the last...

I would recommend a Tech21 Bass Driver DI into a DBX286. Then when you mix in the daw, you want a big but narrow dip at 32, 65, 135, 315, 630 and 1.5K Which to some people doesn't make sense until you throw some drums in to mix.

Its the reason why I still have my NS10s from my old crappy yamaha stereo.

I would recommend an X-Touch. The reason why I still have the M2500 is the EQs are nice sounding and have been thinking about making a card that the upper board of the existing EQ would plug into and all I would have to make is the two filters and buffer amp happen on the bottom board. I don't...

Like it both ways, the two DAW mixers I like are Reaper and Harrison Mixbus. The analog mixer is a Amek M2500.

You add two instrument tracks, then assign them the same midi channel in their plugin window, then add 2 midi tracks that one point to each instrument track and assign them the same midi i/o channel. You have to arm the midi channels even though you are not recording. Edit: You could set the...
