    Red type B microphone

    my friend ordered one of these mics before christmas, and still hasn't recieved it. he's pretty bummed, he wanted it for a specific recording project which has long since come and gone.. i think they owe him a partial refund, and of course the mic...

    Delta 1010 spdif uses

    i want to know what good sp/dif out pre's there are too. i have heard of the dbx, but i don't think it's very cool.. i like the ART digital MPA, it has alot of nice features.. anything else in that price range?

    Your Favorite Mic for Guitar Cabs?

    do you guys who are cautioning people to use pop filters between ribbons and cabs actually have experience blowing mics that way? i regularly use a beyer m500 and the nady rsm-2's right up on the grill of loud cabs.. sounds great, and i've never had a problem. they're tougher than some people...

    ART Digital MPA vs. other mid-level pre's with sp/dif out

    ok, so i'm really close to buying an ART digital mpa. here's why: i like a colored sound, i like the sound of my tube mp (it's got a j/j tube.. i think it came like that), i have ribbon mics and i really like the idea of variable input impedence, and i need sp/dif output. so before i do that...

    alesis hd24 firewire interface - opinions

    to any of you who own this unit: does the fireport interface stand up to the hype? as in, does it work flawlessly, under all conditions? i was burned by alesis' adat connect bullshit, and though i like the idea of the hd24, i need a unit that will interface flawlessly with my DAW. thanks

    Carvin Rack Gear - Opinions?

    i bought their rackmount crossover, and when it arrived it simply didn't work. i sent it back and got my money back. i have some carvin mics, but in reality they're nady mics, if you take them apart they say nady on the inside. so no, carvin recording gear is not legit.

    Ribbon for Vocals

    although i haven't put them head to head, i have experience with both the nady rsm-2 and the beyerdynamic m500. their output is about the same. they both sound sweet on electric guitar cabs. and my two rsm-2's sound very similiar to each other, and are closely matched in output.

    Ribbon for Vocals

    is that to say that it's being made in a different factory then the original? i would think there might be quality variations between the two factories.. i'm just glad that i have two and they sound great and closely matched.

    Microphones...what am I missing??

    if you play in a metal band, you better be wearing earplugs. if you can't hear the high end difference between a dynamic and a condenser, your hearing may be effed. seriously.

    E-MU 1820m vs...

    i have the 1212m. everything about it has performed flawlessly, no problems with the drivers. patchmix was confusing at first, but it's a snap now.. and it sounds great.

    Which for recording vocals? - SM57 vs. SM86 vs. SM87a

    the sm-86 and sm87 would both be better for recording and live use. i speak from experience, because i've used all three. actually the 87 i used was a beta 87. but anyway, they are condensers, and thus much more sensitive. the 87 is hypercardiod as well, which can contribute to higher gain...

    how to record a bass guitar

    i record direct through a bass pod. i'm a bassist, and it sounds good to me. if i had more energy, i'd combine that with a mic on the cab (ONLY if it's a nice setup.. too many bassists just clip the fuck out of their amps).. but i'd use a large diaphargm condenser, not any dynamic. although the...

    RSM-2 owners of the world (unite and take over)

    that's exactly the response i got on the other board. and of course, you're right. look, i just wanted to get a general consensus going about this mic. i have no way to calibrate the chain we used, it's not even my setup, it's my friend's. it's not scientific, i called it 'semi-scientific'...
