Different mics have their own individual characteristics which impart varying degrees of colouration to the original sound. Points open for discussion; 1; is this desirable or should mic manufacturers be aiming to produce mics that are TRUE? 2; if it is desirable, in what way. (warm, cold...

Last night I had the opportunity to compare the following mics; AKG414 B-TL, AKG C1000, AKG C3000, Studio Projects C1 and a Neumann U-87. For the record we set the 5 mics up in a close cluster, ran each one through my Soundcraft Studio console, (EQ was flat on all channels) and through to...

What are the origins of Apex mics.......I mean are they another 797 product? Their model# 450 has just hit the shores of Oz and I am waiting on pricing to compare with similar mics, but having looked at the specs on Yorkville's site it seems very similar to Studio Projects' T3. Particularly the...

I have 14 trks from my son's band which was recorded at a local "studio"..........the material has been transfered to our H/d recorder for us to play with. The problem is an enormous amount of sound bleed between mics on the drums. QUESTIONS: 1; is this normal. 2; if...

I am gradually establishing our home studio based around a 24 channel console and 16 trk H/disc recorder. Apart from adding to our existing mics, WHAT other gear is considered essential for us to be functional, ie; outboard effects, compressers, pre-amps, etc. Peace.......... ChrisO

The not so hypothetical scenario is.............I am tracking/recording thru my console's tape sends to a 16 trk H/disc recorder, the signal returns for mix-down thru the tape returns.........etc, etc. The question is, considering the signal passes thru the console's EQ twice, what are...

Decisions, decisions...............................Mackie 8 bus or Soundcraft Spirit Studio 8 bus. Damn, I'll read the other forums and procrastinate in bit more...............or maybe I wont.

I too had been seriously considering a Mackie 8 buss, with the alternative being Spirit Studio or Soundtracs........only because a Ghost is totally out of financial reach, (approx $16000 Aust.) So, my questions are; How does a Spirit Studio compare to the Mackie, not just sonically...

Has anyone suggestions on which amplifier I should be looking at for near field monitors, in the lower power ranges (50 to 100Watts@4ohms). Also has anyone had experience with Alesis' "Point Seven" n/field monitors?

Can I use CEP to help burn recordings to CD? We are recording on a Fostex D160 H/disc recorder, mixing down thru our desk to two channels..........is it feasable to take the desk output, feed it into the line ins of a S/blaster AWE 64 and then thru CEP to the CD burner. IF SO............please...

Can anyone tell me how Tascam consoles (ie; M2600, M3500) compare to Mackie's 8 buss consoles. BruceV, I know you have a Mackie, but do you have any knowledge of other manufacturers 8 buss desks and their pros and cons. And why is the Ghost considered so much better than the Mackie? Any...
