Just ran across this. It has to be THE most expensive mike I have EVER seen! :eek: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2543675016&category=15198 I don't know how many he sells, but hell, all you really need is one sale! Oh, and I bet it sounds WAY better than any Neumann! ;)

Well, I'm on my way towards building my "6-pack" of API 312's. I picked up these on e-bay. They should be here by mid week! Brent and his gang are still working on the Audix 35102's for me too.....

I'm kicking around the idea of an AD/DA upgrade. I'm looking at Apogee, Rosetta, Lucid, and Steinberg. (I believe Steinberg's are "re-packaged" RME's??) I currently have 2 converter types: 1.) Steinberg's 8 i/O a 24 bit, 48K converter 2.) On board 24 bit of the Yamaha O1V By far, the Steinberg...

Recommend a GOOD headphone dist. Amp. for me please. Budget? Well, I don't want to spend $2000, but then again I don't want to throw away $200 on a piece of crap. So, basically, its wide open.

Lend a fresh pair of ears to this. One of a 3 song demo for a recent client. The song's called "Wake Up in a Dream". http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=1656&alid=-1

I spent 4 hours today tracking a 3 song demo, and creating a rough mix. I am happy with the initial results, I think it sounds real good, but it does need some more work to polish it up. SO, I was going to post one of the songs in the clinic to get some feedback. I ripped it to MP3, and it...

Does that sound like a familiar frequency to anyone? A/C maybe?

Well, the front door to my studio finally came in. I had to stain it and oil it, and prep it for installation. Its in, and trimed out! Now the brick work can begin. (Finally) The inside is a much lighter Birch wood stain. I chose the darker Red Mahogany stain for the outside because it will...

I haven't bought anything new in quite some time. I have some cash burning a hole in my pocket, and I need another mic pre. Preferably 2. The best thing I have right now is a pair of Audix 35102 Racked by Brent. This pre is phenominal! and I may pick up another pair at some point, but I'm...

Well, I have nearly finished the framing in my studio. I still have the control room rear wall, the control room ceiling, and the live room front wall to do. Everything else is pretty much done, framing wise. I wont do the control room rear wall until the rear external wall is insulated and...

I'm quite a ways off from being able to do this, but there's no better time for planning than now right. I have a really good idea on how I'm going to handle the acoustics for all of my rooms except the drum room. With the 2 sliding glass doors in there it seems to make for a lot of reflective...

I'm framing up the front control room wall as I type this, and a question arose. What's a good distance, from the floor, for the bottom of a control room window? I was figuring on using 32". That would be the bottom of the window. Then the window would be 42" tall, and 60" long. (I'd like to...

Well, I'm still waiting on doors. :mad: The "patio door" should be here tuesday. I held off the mason's until the doors are installed; I just don't want to take the chance on having the brick work comming up shy or long at the door frame's moulding. Too short and I'd have to cut down the...

Well, I'm making progress any way. I finished the second layer of exterior sheathing. The bricks were delivered friday, and the mason's will be out here thursday. The 2 exterior doors are SUPPOSED to be delivered tomorrow (monday), So I can install those before the mason's come out. Maybe...

I've been giving a great deal of consideration to STC ratings and how to achieve those, and I've come to a conclusion: In typical wood frame construction the ENTIRE integrity of a sound transmission class is totally dependent on the interior wall construction. And here's why I think that: I...

Below is a pic of a clean-out penetration for the plumbing. This clean-out comes out of the kitchen area. The kitchen is completely enclosed, but as you can see the hole has about a 1/4" to 3/8" area cut thru the OSB around it. What would be the best way to seal this? Caulk? Is there some...

OK. I recorded my 7'-2" grand piano with a pair of SM7's. (please note: SM Seven) Not my first choice for grand piano, but I thought I would try to get a really good sound from them by using placement techniques, rather than mic selection. I found the bass response these mics to be, well...

I have nearly completed the first layer of a multi-layer wall system for the EXTERIOR of my studio. The construction is staggered stud, and the sheathing consists of the following: 1.) 1/2" OSB 2.) 1/2" R-MATE (This is an insulative material made of compressed fiberglass insulation. One...

So, I finally got my trusses up and my roof on. The trusses are a scissors truss which gives a "vaulted" type of ceiling. Extending the walls up to the trusses wouldn't be such a big deal IF the walls were paralell, but of course they're not. So what ends up happening, geometrically, is you...
