^^^ Fuck yea, dude. I always feel like I get better tones from ballsy amps, anyway...especially for clean tones running just shy of distortion. There's some balls in that pic. Like 9 balls.
^^As goofy as it may look to some (it certainly does to me!), what Miro does there works great when close mic'ing, and I've personally rigged up similarly "homemade" looking contraptions made of blankets and rugs completely surrounding the amp and mics in the (pretty mainstream) studio I worked...
Broken_H gave you some good links - I'll add this one: The SouthSIDE Of The Tracks - Glen Stephan - Independent Recording Network <-- I can elaborate if it's not obvious what that articles going on about, but it's an absolute necessity (especially for the guitars) for huge heavy mixes to cut...
I think the control room outputs on that thing will be the same as the headphone outputs (minus the headphone amp and it's potential issues as ecc83 noted) as long as you don't have the "2-TR to Ctrl Room" button pressed.
Gracenote stats on known recorded songs--
2005: 45 million
2011: 90 million.
2012: 230 million
With that kind of exponential curve, there's probably at least 5-10 times that today. That's billions and billions of minutes of recorded music, and that's only counting songs that have been pressed...
That's interesting... I, for one, never knew that - so radio will actually mono-iphy their broadcasts in case it's "too stereo" for who they think (or want/intend) is listening...
This I am familiar with, for the same reasons I assume broadcasters do it...I just never drew that connection...
I haven't really thought about how often people do that until just now.... They do that all the time. "Hey look at/listen to this" (plays youtube clip/mp3 on phone). huh.... Things are heard in mono a hell of a lot more than I ever really realized until just now. Interesting....
edit: I didn't read all 5 pages, but it looks like a lot of this was said already...oh well - usually the middle pages of these threads are about food...or cats...lol
I just listened, too (had to find my CD...haven't played an actual CD in years), and I agree - there's about 6-8 different...
I just found this mic in the bottom of a cable bin and figured I'd throw it on ebay for 20 bucks or so (maybe somebody somewhere can use it and make something awesome, heh...), but I can not, for the life of me, find out exactly what it is.
Peavey has PVi-100, PVi-2, PVi-3 and some other PVi...
No, they are not. A preamp and soundcard won't improve your results in any meaningful way, and a hardware compressor won't do anything a plugin can't do just as effectively. Those pieces of equipment might give you subtly different results, but not better ones. I'll write more later, but...
I'm not familiar with it, personally - but it looks like he bought one studio monitor:

^^ I was gonna say something about attitude, too - it makes all the difference between a smooth, fun night and a godawful one. Be friendly and helpful and if possible - be ready for whoever is playing. If your lines are all run when the band gets there, then you just have to adjust the mics...
"Sorry! We can't find that track.
Did you try to access a private track, but were not logged in?
Maybe the track has been removed."
I give up for today....
