hey guys -- I needed some help wiring & racking up a vintage mic pre that comes out of a console. I just needed to know if I hooked up the preamp properly. Can anyone help me or point me to a forum where these things are discussed? Thanks!

did you guy see the Telefunken ELA M251 (E) Ebay auction? Starting bid at GBP 1,000 and no bid history? Makes be think its a big scam. Waddayaallthink?

Have you checked out the new Tascam US-2400 24 channel controller which will hit the market in a month or so? That box is fricking smoking! Its not too expensive either: some shops sell it for $1,500. Given that it has 24 channels its much cheaper than a Mackie Controller plus two expansion...

Hey guys -- I recently got vintage ADM mic pre and eq modules. I've purchased a power supply, connectors, rack panel, and racked everything up. Now, there's way too much crap in the signal path of the ADM pre, so I'd like to get it mod-ded. Supposedly, the ADM can sound like a NEVE after...

hi there, I have a few songs finished which I'd like to get mastered for demo submission. The genre is dance music. Do you have any recommendations for a mastering house which has experience in this genre? Thanxxx!

hey guys -- I just moved to DC, but had to postpone my plans to buy a house and build a permenant studio for a year or so :mad: So I'm stuck with this rented apartment and I can't install acoustic treament. But hey: do you have any idea how I could make a "removable" vocal booth? Something...

hi -- do you know any stores/websites where I can get a 2U rack panel custom engraved and cutout? I want to rack mount vintage console mic preamps/eq and needed to get some holes cut out. Thanks!

I saw an ADM 2783 pre and 1540 eq on Ebay. They sure look like API and other "vintage" stuff, but I have never heard of ADM before. Do they sound any good?

hey guys -- I just moved to a different city/place, and set up my studio exactly like it was before. However: my M-Audio BX8 monitors all of a sudden have a noticable hum! Its fairly loud, actually. It only stops when I un-plug the (TRS) cables. The fader on the mixer's master output has no...

Does anyone know how much the new Mackie ONYX mixers will cost when they hit the street? They seem to be rather decent mixers, with great pres, and you can add a Firewire I/O card to them. That'll make them ideal front ends for smaller studios, I guess. I consider getting the 1640 model. Any...

hey fellas -- I just moved to Washington DC, and was wondering if there is a pro music store to buy recording gear? Thanks for your help! (sorry for posting my question here, but I didn't know which forum is the right one)

hey folks -- hopefully you'll find this interesting ... I just did a microphone comparison with my tenor saxophone and the following mics: o Gefell M930 o Neumann KM184 o AT 4047 o Shure Beta 57A The signal path was as follows: I placed each mic about 1 1/2 foot from the bell slightly...

hey guys -- I have a budget of approx. $1,500.- and wanted to shop for a good mic pre for my condensor mics (Gefell M930, Neumann KSM184 and AT4047), and to "warm up" my outboard synths. There's so many choices, and its hard to decide without having the opportunity to listen to pres. Here's my...

hi there -- I have a brand new Gefell M930 which I consider to trade for a high-quality LDC mic (new or used) for vocal recordings. I just got the M930 one week ago, and have only hooked it up once to see if it works. Its an absolutly stunning mic! It comes in a wooden box with swivel mount...

hi fellas, I intend to add a LDC to my small collection of mics (so far I have a Neumann KSM184, AT 4047 and a Sennheiser 441), which I want to use primarily for tracking vocals. I saw today that Microtech Gefell has a 75th Anniversary Special and offers all of their products at a discount of...

hi fellas -- I was recording vocals last night, using an AT4047 and a Focusrite Green channel strip. Unfortunately I noticed after the session that there is an annoying high ring tone in the tracks! I played around with my seetings after the session and noticed that the ring tone disappears...

he fellas -- I noticed that when I use my EMU XL7 synth and bring up the signal to a higher level with the pres on my analog mixer, I have excessive noise at a significant level! Should I use one of my high-quality mic pres to boost the gain? Are you guys doing that?

hey guys & gurlz -- I know that this might be the zillionths thread on mic pres, but reading all the threads drives me nuts! You guys make me a gear addict! On the bright side of things, by reading tons of threads and -- most importantly -- listenting to a lot of mics and pre-amps, I can...
