Omigod! For those of you who don't know the story, I found this puppy at a flea market buried under a pile of dead cheap guitars. It had a dent in the grill, was wicked long (almost 12"), labeled Shure SM82 unidirectional microphone, and had a serial #. "How much?" I asked. "how much will you...

Well, Trackrat and H2O, I got messages from you but I can't send or receive pm's, I can't even bring you up om a member search. My CP is totally down. If you want this B-1, email me direct (not through the board at richard_monroe@telocity.com.- Richie

Well, with a recent mic upgrade, I threw in a B-1 due to rave reviews, because I wanted to audition it, and there are no local brick & mortar outlets. My basic conclusion is that it is quiet, clean, hot, and the best condenser I've heard in the $100 or less range. (Note here, I haven't had a...

Well, I got my SM7 tonight and I've started playing around with it. It does reject noise really well, and it has very noticable proximity effect. I fear it won't be a main vocal mic for me, but I'm betting it will rock on cabs and hand drums. It is the only vocal mic I've got that I can use in...

Well, I'm raising money for that kickass pre, and a bunch of stuff will have to go. All stuff used in nonsmoking studio, no scratches, dings, damage, etc., except the guitar which shows normal wear. All prices are pretty firm, you pay shipping. Studio Projects C-3 w/ shock mount, windscreen...

Well, I think I've finally completed the mic cabinet, and although the funds won't be available for a while, I'm beginning my search for the pre from hell now. I am quite sure I don't have the ears to select this sucker, so like many things, I'll be soliciting good advice from the fine ears of...

Well, not too long ago I bought this weird looking cardioid mic at a yard sale for $10. What the hell, it's made by Shure and has a serial number, so I figured it had to be worth $10. Well, I hooked it up and nothing happened, so I turned on the phantom power, and nearly blew my head off. Turns...

Hot damn! Well we've been looking for a mixing engineer for the current project, and Littledog and the wife and I met tonight and reached agreement in principle to have LD do the mixing for the current project. Well, if it sucks, don't blame him. He's just going to try to salvage my poor tracks...

I can't believe it. I was checking out the gear list of my main backing vocalist, an independant recording artist from San Diego. It seems when she was a kid, she wanted to take up a little guitar. Her mother had an old one in a closet in a ratty case (the original). I checked out the godamn...

Can anybody find a link that will tell me anything about this dinosaur? It's a SONY 6060F 275w receiver with a boatload of I/O's. I picked it up along with some massive Fisher Bass reflex cabinets at a church rummage sale for $10! Hot damn! Mainly I'd like to find out: When was it made? What did...

Hi guys, I posted a more complete version of this problem on the VS/Boss forum, but I don't have a lot of time, and this forum is more active. Reader's digest version: I'm burning 2 tracks to a 700mb CD-R at 44.1 khz. What's the limit , in minutes, for a finalized CD? I think I can record about...

Well today, I'm recording a Viking wake! There will be stories, prayer, and music, and it will go on for several hours. I'm recording in stereo with a coincedent pair into a VS1824CD. This prevents the need to create a master file, as no panning or effects will be applied. The question is how...

I know we're missing something simple here. When we mix down to master, the 1824 uses tracks 17 and 18, but when I try to burn to CD and finalize, it asks me what tracks I want to record as L and R and offers me only tracks 1-16! Is it this just the damn Japanics manual, or am I missing...

Do any of you rich MoFo's own one of these puppies? They don't give any prices in their catalogs or on line, but the sounds I have heard from them are phenomenal! Anybody know whether I have to sell my house to buy one, or just the car?-Richie

Sorry, couldn't decide what forum to post this on. Anybody a subscriber to Acoustic Guitar magazine? This month's edition came with a catalog of Mcpherson guitars. These have to be high end puppies, 'cause there's no prices in the catalog or on line. Anyway, it also came with a free compilation...

Well, enough people on this board that I respect use these puppies, that I had to buy a pair, because they are, after all, dirt cheap. I haven't had time to do A-B's or combine them with other mics, but my first impression is that their self noise needs to be tamed a bit. Turning the input gain...

Stand back, boys! the studio's complete! Yeah, POD Pro is OK. Got my Joemeek, my DBX, 012's, C3,NTK, Marshall Cab, Carver poweramp, monitors, cans, SM57's, all the Auralex foam you can stand, the Taylor, the SG, the Wurlitzer console, assorted AKG's, B.L.U.E. Kiwi quad cables, power...

I'm considering an RNC to give me compression on my DBX386. The Joemeek twinQ has a built in optical compressor. Does anybody have an impression of the quality of the two compressors comparitively?-Richie

Golly, I was at an antique show today and found this puppy in a pile of junk and bought it for 10 bucks. It was obvious from its long thin shape that it was some kind of specialty microphone, not a cheap dynamic. Like a fool, I patched it up without searching for the specs and it did nothing...

Yay! It may not be much of a studio, but it's *my* studio. Pics are up on a link off the project page of www.bardwire.com. Comments welcome. After some of the dedicated construction I've seen on this forum, I have to say I'm a little intimidated.- Richie
