Anyone ever use one of these? For what application? How would it perform on say a small, intimate, string section?

It seems as of late, there has been a proliferation of 1073 clones on the market. Is there anyway to tell (by looking) the difference between the vintage 1073's and the clones?

... a local independent studio that is, just to get an idea of going rates. He charges $65/hr (min 4 hrs). Pretty typical. The average going rate for around here. Then we started talking recording, and gear. This guy has a king's ransom worth of gear! ELAM Mics, Fairchild 670's I think. 2...

I have a few thing that have been collecting dust in the closet that I'd just as soon get rid of. I thought I'd give Home Rec-ers first dibbs: 1.) CakeWalk Home Studio 9 Legitimate software, have CD, CD key, Box, Manual, even the Registration form if you're so inclined. -Make Offer- 2.) dbx...

Is anyone here using vintage Neve 1073's or 1064 racked preamp/eq modules? I'd like to hear from someone that actually has one (or more) in their studio, and uses it on a regular basis, and not "Well, I've heard them before and....."

Someone explain to me what is: 1.) Rock Wool 2.) Rigid Fiberglass 3.) Mineral Wool I'm pretty familiar with most building materials, but these don't ring a bell. Maybe it's a local or regional terminology that I'm not familiar with.

When positioning the mains in a monitoring system, the angle off the center-line axis is 30 deg.? Right? Thats the horizontal angle, but if the mains are elevated and flush mounted in a control room, at a height of say, 6 feet or so, then what would the vertical angle need to be? Does this need...

New studio lay-out. Please comment and review. It is 30'x40' over all. If I use "staggered stud" construction (2"x4" on a 6" base plate) on the exterior walls, and 2"x4" studs with reselient channel on the interior, what kind of STC rating can I expect? If I have "staggered stud" construction...

I had read in a book, sometime ago, that there is an ideal W:L:H ratio of dimensions for both a tracking room, and a control room. Does anyone know what these are?

When working a mix, it would seem that you have to establish a "point of view" for the listener; an Aural Perspective if you will. You have to decide where you want the listener seated, and adjust pans and levels accordingly. Right? So, my point is: The bulk of what I write tends to be...

Has anyone here ever had an Input Module racked? I know Brent Averill does some racking, but what I see on his web-site seems to be, not so much custom, but specific. Anyone know of another Custom racking group/company, other than Brent Averill?

I just wanted to say thank you for your recent help with miking my piano using a apir of SD condensers. I employed the techniques you suggested from here and I think the results were outstanding. If you have a moment to listen to the short piece, and give me your thoughts, I'd be grateful...

...but I found a local, in town, dealer for Mellinia Media. The guy there is letting me demo (i.e. borrow) the HV-3D microphone pre-amp. http://www.mil-media.com/docs/products/hv3d.shtml I'm stoked! I wanna hear this bad boy! If it sounds as good as its reputation, I'll have to find a way to...

How long, on average, does it take you to compose, perform, record, and mix 1 minute of finished music?

Just out of curiosity, what sort of electrical current demands are typically found in a professional - semi-professional studio facility? Currently, in my home project studio, I have a single 20amp dedicated curcuit. I'm lucky that it's dedicated soley to this room, and seems to provide all of...

From what I have been able to gather from here and elsewhere, it seems that 12 degree celings, and or walls set 12 degrees off of the perpendicular seems to be ideal? I understand about non-paralell-ism (to coin a word), but I was curious if a smaller angle, say 6 or 8 degrees would work as...

Pendulum Audio makes a pre-amp . Anyone ever use this or hear anything about it, good, bad or otherwise?

Does anyone here have this mic? I'd like to hear it on a variety of instruments. Thanks

and tell me what you think. http://www.sionstudios.com/custom-music/ This is just a preview, eventually I'll have my own domain.

Imagine pulling out some old vinyl, letting a diamond neddle drag through the grooves as the disk spins at (hopefully) 33 1/3 rpm. Any scratches, dust, you'll hear 'em if there is. Then imagine pulling out and old cassette. Remember metal tapes? Sounded pretty good, but man they sure were...
