So.... I'm thinking about letting my Davisound TB-6 go. It's a great pre but I have been focusing more and more on very colored pres these days. Basicly, it's a great ultra clean pre with 4 channels of preamp and 2 seperate channels of DI (that's the custom part) for a total of 6 channels. I...

I'm trying to build some various sized absorber panels and want to use some of the 2 or 3 inch Knauff stuff but the closest place I can get it here is 5 or 6 hours away. Do you know anything that might be the equivelant to that stuff? I mean really equivelant here...the Knauff stuff seems to do...

I need some sugestions on room tweaking. I will attach a few links for visual purposes. I have decent sized finished basement I like to call my studio. Redoing too much is not an option so I need creativity here. All in all I like the sound of the room but I also know it needs some work.....low...

I just had to share this. Recently my NTK was sounding odd to my ears...I couldnt put my finger on it but it wasnt quite right. I called Rode, who told me it was probably the tube or possibly the capsule and said i could send it in to get looked at under warranty. Here's a catch.....I had to...

It's quite a nice, warm sounding unit and does a wonderful job on just about anything, including vox, guitar, bass and snare. I wouldnt be so quick to sell it but I need more in the way of dedicated pres than the all in one piece that this is so I gotta make room and raise cash. It's...

Ok, I know this has been dicussed here a couple of times but I kinda have my own twist and I'm hoping a few others have gotten them by now.;) Are the Davisound Pres all that? Really? See...I was looking at the Presonus Mp20. Heard good reviews for the most part and I'm all ready to buy except...

Someone posted this link over at Jules' site and he didnt know whether to laugh or cry.....I concur! http://www.aopen.com/products/mb/ax4b-533Tube.htm heylow

We talk alot about mics and we all want the best. There is nothing wrong with that. Ya know those threads where someone asks about the best bang for the buck mic..... I gotta say.....its still the 57. Why am I typing this? Well.....I'm sitting here listening while I type to the first 2 Elliot...

....and be the the criticized.:D This is my first submission for your approval to the home rec zone... It's not a very serious deal....just a demo of a song. I often do these to flesh out ideas for later recording and for the band to learn the song, etc. Plus I was trying out new gear...this...

Any of you guys know what a Beyer M160 is running these days? I can't seem to easily find pricing on the net. If anyone knows where to get em, I'd appreciate that info too. I'm kinda thinking about these as overheads/guitar mics but I have no idea what a good deal is:confused: Thanks, heylow

Has anyone had any experience with the matched set of Rode NT5's that recently came out? They're like 300 a pair....I'm kind of a Rode fan and I'm curious how these things fair against some other well liked SD Condensers. Thanks in advance, heylow

Dig the crazy link: http://prosoundweb.com/recording/tapeop/buildmic/buildmic_16_1.shtml I may have to try these out myself. Tapeop rarely steers a brother wrong and the price looks right! Sounds llike an even cheaper alt to the ECM8000. Wonder how they sound. If anyone gets around to this...

A couple of questions, really. I targeted Bruce cuz he knows the Mackie 8bus and his way around this stuff in general. First off...The deal: I have a Mackie MDR recorder, a Mackie 24.8, a pair of Event 20/20bas (powered) monitors, a minidisc recorder (I'll get to why)and some various comps and...

I have a Special edition 4033 that i bought new a bit ago. I like it so much on overheads that I am about to get another. My question is, the 4033 plain model and the 4033 special edition are actually the same mic, no? So if I got a deal on a used 4033 plain model, it should match up with the...

Can anybody tell me the differences between various Sennheiser MD421's? I'm trying to locate a couple of used ones and as I look around, I see Black ones with black grills, white ones with black grills, and the occasional black ones with silver grills. I remember reading something on this once...
