    Bluebird mic - issue with phantom power

    No problem at all, happy for any suggestions. Yes, they were not helpful at all, which surprised me as well, especially after dealing in the past with RODE who were wonderfully helpful. I got this response after explaining the problem and asking for possible schematics or at least how to get...

    Bluebird mic - issue with phantom power

    I also changed out capsule and no change. I guess capacitors are next.

    Bluebird mic - issue with phantom power

    Can't tell if you are joking or trying to make me look stupid (hard to tell on internet) but of course I did that first and they said it is against their policy to provide information about the workings of their mics. Also said i should not attempt to work on it myself but they would be happy to...

    Bluebird mic - issue with phantom power

    Hi all: I bought a used Bluebird mic (as is, of course) and lo and behold, it has issues. Hoping someone may have experienced this on a mic before and can lead me to a solution. The mic is fine for about a minute or 90 seconds when you switch on the phantom power. Then all of a sudden it's...

    Quality Mixing & Mastering Services Offered by homerecording.com Members

    Another endorsement for Jay Walsh of Farview. He mixed my last cd and did a fantastic job. I can't believe how many reviewers commented on the sonic quality of my release. Plus he is a great guy as well. PM me with questions. Johnny Lokke

    ART MPA Gold Mic Pre and ART Pro VLA Compressor combo!

    Would also be willing to trade for an 8-channel interface like a Focusrite Pro 40 or the like.

    ART MPA Gold Mic Pre and ART Pro VLA Compressor combo!

    I am selling an ART MPA Gold preamp and ART Pro VLA compressor limiter. I am the original owner and neither have left my smoke free home studio. I have the original manuals as well as the original boxes (for sure with the pre, pretty sure I have the original VLA box as well). You can hear these...

    OK, now this is what it is supposed to sound like. Wow..., just wow. Very clean, everything is heard and I am smiling. Thanks for sharing this, Jason. By the way, I went to your site and was poking around, saw the article "A Young Jay Walsh" and thought I was looking at myself. We were born the...

    Best mix of this song so far. Period. Forgot to answer completely when you asked about mic pre's and mics. As I said, Pre was an Art MPA Gold, vocals recorded with SM7-b, guitars and bass were POD X3. Drums triggered to midi and then replaced with a custom kit I made from Slate samples and...

    If anyone wants to practice their mixing, here you go!

    Hi Fish: Haven't had a chance to check out the latest versions as I am on a little R and R break before the big task of mixing the new record. Mic Pre was Art Pro MPA. Thanks, DS. Not sure what a PMC is, but just thought everyone might enjoy taking a stab at it. I've always thought SOS made...

    If anyone wants to practice their mixing, here you go!

    EQ is one of the toughest battles out there...changing the frequencies of one thing can also affect the other tracks as well. Especially hard for those of us without stellar mixing environments. My car is usually my best test as I know the sound of my favorite cd's in there so well. That's...

    If anyone wants to practice their mixing, here you go!

    This is very good too, although you kind of went the opposite and pulled out all the mids (kind of sounds like the "smiley-face" kind of eq curve) which kind of sucks all the punch out of it. Cool that you did your own take on the vocals mixing the lower octave vocals in at a higher level. I...

    If anyone wants to practice their mixing, here you go!

    Best mix so far as far as no compression pumping, everything sitting together in the mix, overall balance. I do agree that there is a lot of midrange frequencies getting accented there. I would guess it was done to the master bus as it seems to be affecting everything. If you slap this track up...
