http://www.recursor.net/ScotlandTheBrave.mp3 that's completely dry - just recorded it in a medium sized room with a ribbon with the front of the mic pointed generally at the player at about chest level about 5 feet away. I've done this a few times now, and I find that, as long as the mic is...

We picked one of these up for cheap -- if nothing else to use as a USB midi interface: Anyone have any luck hooking these up to Logic plugins, and/or MOTU cuemix (not at the same time, I suppose) - I could see creating a few pre-defined channel strips in Logic with automation tied to the...

I ordered some LME49720NA opamps so I could use one in a little preamp that I got from mrbowes. I had tried the OPA2134 in it and liked it, but I also like the LME49720NA, because it has a "faster" sound to it. Any reason not to try them out in the ART Digital MPA? There are a *bunch* of...

OK - my time to do this testing is somewhat rare, but I got everything back out just now. In Nuemes' thread, MSHilarious posted a test file to run through the ACMP-73 and see what happens. Tarnationsauce2 did it with some preamps, but I never did: until now -- here's the test file bounced...

I got a Gaines MP1 preamp from mrbowes, and now I'm pulling out all my old dynamic mics and trying them out. Anyone know what this one is? I can't find any writing on it anywhere.

I got this yesterday for $20, "as is" - not sure if it works, but maybe it does: Short of calling the company to get a manual (which I may do), are there any good places on the internet to learn how to use one of these generally? I've got a bunch of transistors to test :D

I just got my dreadnought back from the shop -- some binding was coming up and I had fret buzz - they fixed both. They noticed that the bridge was starting to pull up -- took a piece of paper and slipped it under the back of the bridge, pulling it across to show the separation -- uneven, but as...

Here's a Christmas one - kind of thrown together, but nice to listen to. My daughter's friend was over and we recorded a couple - she's a good singer (and Edda James fan - we can do some covers next time!). One take from her - we might could have done a few more, but I was busy running...

OK, I got bored :D - I took off the lid of my ACMP-81 pres and messed with the hum issue. I recorded my messing with one of them - here's the mp3 file along with some observations. *TURN DOWN YOUR MONITORS BEFORE LISTENTING* -- I have everything boosted up, and then for some reason, the mp3...

As I keep gushing everywhere, I finally got my group buy stuff. I'm playing with the ACMP 81 preamp/EQs and I remembered when drbill ran a mix through them. I took a song I'm working on and did that, but not the same way he did. Instead, I have the mix "in the box" and I ran it out of my...

I'm pumped to have these two ACM 200 mics - I had ordered a 200 and a 300, and after the orders closed I was kicking myself for not getting a pair, but due to the swap of the 200 for the 300, I got one anyway :D They sound pretty good, but a little lacking in the high end - I haven't done much...

I just picked up two used AKG C 451 E mics for cheap enough that I wasn't too worried about testing them. They both work, but one of them has lower output and less bass than the other. It almost seems like a rolloff and a pad are engaged, because the difference is about 10db, and the bass...

Last night I opened up Somnium7's DIY patch cable thread and lovingly made four beautiful 3' TRS patch cables that would go between my ACMP preamps (when they arrive) and the waiting audiofire 12 unit. Like knitting for an expected baby :D But this morning I opened up Chance's page again, and...

I'm typing this on a brand new Macbook pro - the reason I have it is that my 1.75 year old regular macbook just went brick on me, and the Apple genius person at the Apple store said I'd have to cough up about $980 for a main board replacement (ouch! - extended warranty = good, I guess). Since...

Here's another drum newb with a clip :D - I can't play the drums (I'll practice when I can and get better), but still think I can benefit from adding real drum tracks to my songs. Also, as I mentioned in another thread, I don't have a real kick drum (or real toms - I've got rototoms, though)...

We bought my older daughter a little toy keyboard in the early '90s, and we still have it, as well as another daughter who's now two. I dug it out. I remembered that it has an appealing sound if you set it to the "piano" patch and push the "harmony" button. I created an EXS24 instrument with...

(rats - I said GLX3000 in the subject - it's GXL3000, of course)... That GXL3000 multipattern mic is back up on Stupid Deal, this time for $60, which seems pretty good. I'm not jumping, again because I've got the 583's on the way, but if you've been waiting to get these cheap - today looks...

So, my red NO syndrome is eating me up -- I'm so busy planning for those ACM preamps that I'm overthinking everything that could go wrong -- for instance, It occured to me that when they arrive, I wouldn't have enough analog inputs to connect *all* possible incoming preamp channels. That, plus...

As I've made painfully clear in other posts, I'm slowly putting together a drum set. I will mic this set primarily, but for the time being, I don't want to get a real kick drum -- my thought is to get a real pedal (with the Tama Iron Cobra being in the lead for that) so that I can keep using it...

I decided to take one for the team and go get that KSM27 that the shop said was "distorted" - at least it was cheap :D. At first, all I got was whooshing and popping - I took it apart to see what was inside. Indeed, SMT: Nothing visually wrong (on the other side, either) but who can tell...
