    One mic to do it all (within reason)

    I tend to not pay a whole lot of attention to new products cuz I was happy with the recordings we were doing. I'm the sole financier of this little studio and if something was working fine, I tended not to worry about it or shop for a replacement. This kinda results in a bit of ignorance...

    One mic to do it all (within reason)

    We had the studio in my house on the West side. We did the latest releases from Bagg, Readymaid, Black Magic Rhythm All Stars, Man-E-Taboada, Hoodwink, Tornado Green, and were just wrapping up on the upcoming release for Son River. We plan to work on the new Black Magic Rhythm Allstars and...

    One mic to do it all (within reason)

    Thanks. I already have a 4033 and a 57, But they are going with the studio. I should be able to keep a 57, but we only have one 4033. I'm kinda bowing out of recording other bands and my associate (whose going to continue at the new location) gets more and more angry every time I say--"By...

    One mic to do it all (within reason)

    Hi, I'm a studio owner and am finally moving my studio from my home. I plan to replace my studio with a small hard drive for my own home recording purposes. I'll probably end up with a Korg D1600. Anyhow, my question is which mic would you guys recommend for light percussion, acoustic guitar...

    mixing down stereo from 488MK II

    I recently sold an MK 488II to a friend and he's having a problem. It seems he can record all the tracks fine, and moniter them fine. But after mixdown something like tracks 1,3 and 6 (or something along those lines) are missing from the stereo master. I remember having a similair problem...

    Driving a tube preamp

    I have just purchased the dbx 386 tube amp and really like the distortion effect when the gain and output are cranked and returned to the board. Is this harmful to the preamp? It's a really nice distortion for vocals.

    dbx preamp

    :D Has anyone heard anything or used the new dbx tube preamp? I think it's called a 386 or 586? They run about $450, got digital i/o and is stereo. I was considering one to warm up my digital recordings just before the mixdown deck.....Any thoughts???

    Recording 4 tracks at once on the 488mkII

    I believe it is a panning issue. I've done this many moons ago. Pan the first two hard left and the next two hard right. Press the 1L 2R assign button. It will be wierd while recording and monitoring, but once down on tape he can pan them howevere he desires. I think this will work, like I...

    tapes stuck in adats

    Many thanks for your reply, I just took em up to the repair shop and told the guy to give em a good once over. I feel better knowing he gave them a good bill of health. He told me he could have em back by friday and thier still under warranty so no skin off my back, just a waste of my time...

    post compression on kick drum??

    I'm recording my band in my basement and we have a pretty good set up. My question is should we insert a compressor on the kick drum when mixing down to stereo? My partner in this project insists on it and I just don't like how it sounds. My buddy does alot of live sound in the clubs here in...

    tapes stuck in adats

    I have 3 brand new adats and have had an awful lot of trouble with them. Presently, the tapes will not eject from the 1st and 3rd machines. The 1st adat is reading error and the interpolation light is flashing. This happened once before and just as I prepared to take them to the shop I tried...
