If anyone is interested in the final result: TLM 103 Fixed by Keith C | Free Listening on SoundCloud I didn't even bother getting to the last preamp setting as it would have just clipped.

I've sent them an email. Hopefully they will be willing to help out. I've had the mic for 2 months and I just kind of accepted the performance as normal but I knew something was up.

Well it would seem under the hood there is a black wire that connects the circuit board to the capsule. This is disconnected at the capsule. If I make a contact (without solder) it seems to solve all of the issues. I just am not comofrtable fixing this myself. Does this seem like it may be the...

Hello, I posted about an issue I was having with my Nuemann TLM 103 that I bought at a local music store second hand. After recording a few songs with it and having to cut out and of the audio without music and also needing to compress vocals a ton to get a suitable volume for tracks, I am...

https://soundcloud.com/hauteheat/i-am-the-devil-second-mix I am new to trying to mix pop so any tips and tricks are very welcome! I am having a tough time with it but I think this mix is starting to get somewhere. Gear is a mix of Roland JD-XI, Moog Little Phatty, Lowrey Micro Genie. Vocals...

I’m going to try the silica gel. I tried it out again today and the problem seems less noticeable. I ran it through a Joe Meek VC1 and it performs as expected. I think the problem is either the Mbox 2 or I am crazy. I’m floored at how great this sounds through the VC1. Thanks for the...

This is kind of what I suspect but I’m wondering why my cheap tossaround condensers are fine with it.

Interesting. I have it facing the correct way and it sounds phenomenal. I just haven’t worked with a mic that requires so much gain to get decent levels. I end up having the use bit extra compression to get it up to par.

Hello. I recently purchased a used Neumann TLM 103 from my local music store for a good price of 650. I got it home and was so excited to try it out but to my surprise it didn’t quite sound as expected. I am running it through a Mbox 2 right now and most of my microphones I put through it sound...

Thank you for the thoughts! Really cool idea on the compression. I had the snare mixed pretty loud for a pretty pop sound. I don't know if I want to lower it all too much. The backups are doubled but I usually have one be the lead and the double mixed lower. I might look into evening them out a...

Are you wanting to hear more sizzle from the snares or more low end. I was also debating adding some more snare sound in. I might be able to just push up the room mic some.

Thanks for the continued input. Overall I just have the drums bussed into a few reverbs and the the reverbs on the vocals may be coming from the EQing effect I have on them to make them sound boxier. I may adjust this a bit and push their highs a bit more. I will probably dial back on all of the...

Thanks for the input. I am going to try add a little more sparkle to the vocal track by moving up the high frequencies a little bit.

Very cool to hear. I actually took a bit of verb off in fear that I had too much. I agree that they are abit dry now. I think I'll probably tweak that a bit. Thank you!

I appreciate the feedback. There is a little bit of mid scooping happening and I definitely battled with the bass for a bit. I think cutting back on some of the subs a tad is great advice. Maybe the backing vocal key thing is with my inflection because I go up high to get into the lower note. I...
