Hi and thanks for the help- My mix sounds great- then I bounce and the aif file sound great. Then I burn a CD in itunes or in toast and the cd sounds thin comparitivly. What's up? Do I have to compinsate for this in my mix? Thanks for help, Frank

Can anybody recommend a low end ribbon microphone that is useful. Would go for a Royer 121 but it’s out of my price range. Nady, Apex etc. are these really good for anything? Thanks for the help, Frank

I need some help with my Great River ME-1NV. The balanced out of the ME-1NV is XLR, I want to test the preamp tonight and don’t have an XLR to TRS 1/4 cable. My motu 828 uses 1/4 TRS inputs. Can I go into the Motu 828 XLR inputs (which are preamps), leave the phantom power off and leave the trim...

About to pull the trigger on the Great River ME-1NV- as my gold channel- anybody have any words of caution, anything negative to say about it? Also any picks on where to purchase it? Thanks for the help on what for me is a big purchase. Thanks- Frank

Any thoughts on these three. Impressions, applications, sonic differences. Looking for my gold channel. Own RNP and Joe Meek VC1Q. The rest are mackie pres. Thanks for any help, Frank

Okay I need some help. I’m a drums, bass, guitar vocal guy and my daughter is in the musical Oliver. I offered to record her and the other kids along with the teacher putting on the show- who is the piano player. Make a cast album (how old am I) CD. They sing a lot in a group. There are about...

Difference between VC1Qcs and VC1Q? I can’t find a reference on the meek web site to the VC1Q non cs but I know there were two models. cs I believe stands for current sensing (some kind of automatic input impedances setting?) Is the cs bad, does it get in the way or screw up the sound? Thanks...

What is the thought on these, they seem to be on Ebay all the time. Thanks Frank

There are two preamps that don’t get a lot of attention on the boards- the Summit Audio 2BA-221 and the Safe Sound P1. I’ve seen many posts about people who are curious about them but not too many seem to have actually used them and can give a complete review. Any real world opinions on them...

Just heard the Joemeek VC6Q and liked it a lot on bass. Of the under $500 Joemeek stuff which is the best. Does it all sound like the VC6Q? Looking for direct in for bass, cheap. I like the sound I get from going direct into my RNP but when I’m tracking drums and bass the RNP is taken up with...

Can anybody recommend headphones that are somewhat like the Extreme Isolation headphones? I have the EI headphones and they are great and I need a second set but would love something in the thirty dollar range. Clearly they won’t be as good but something that is close will do. Thanks Frank Military

Didn't have one at Sam Ash to test. I like the reviews, but wanted to hear some real reviews. How does it compare with C1 which I own and use already. Thanks for the help, Frank

What does everybody think of this for vocals. To my ear it seemed rich, clear, more interesting then the 4050 but not harsh. The guy in the store said he thought it was for intruments. I've never heard the 4060. Is it any good?

What do you think of this as a vocal mike?

Is this a real upgrade?
