    Comb filtering from music stand?

    Has anyone ever experienced this? I recorded an acoustic player last night who was using a solid metal music stand. Listening to the tracks today I think I am detecting some comb filtering, and at times a "boxy" sound to the guitar. Is my mind playing tricks on me, or is this possible?

    Minimizing fret buzz?

    Any tips or techniques for minimizing fret buzz from electric guitars? I'm talking about occaisional buzz from not-so-clean chording. I know the best course of action is to re-record. But assuming that is not an option, is there anything I can do with EQ, etc. to make these tracks more useable?

    wall wart electrical question

    I recently aquired an ART Levelar to play around with on bass. The party that shipped it to me sent it with a Zoom 9V 300Ma power supply. Won't work. The transaction was a hassle so I'm not going back to the seller for the wall wart. The Levelar manual states that it requires 9V 700Ma...

    Alternative recording snare

    I am currently recording my son's Gretsch Catalina Club kit. We have been using the snare that came with the kit. On some material it is ok, but often I find myself wishing for a deeper, richer snare sound. What would be some alternative snare drums to look at that would give us another...

    Modded Oktava vs u47

    This evening I did something that I never thought I would get the opportunity to do. I have a Michael Joly modded Oktava 319. Tonight a friend called me and said he had a borrowed U47 in his possesion. So I cruised over to compare my Oktava to the U47. I've read all the testimonials on...

    Joly Modded Oktava 319 on kick?

    I have a Michael Joly modded MK 319 that I am very pleased with. I have noticed that when using it anywhere on a drum kit it seems to pick up a lot of (nice) kick drum. Any cautions or reasons to be concerned about using this mic directly in front of the kick? SPL, blowing out the capsule, etc.?

    Kick mic

    I have been using a garden variety dynamic (EV 257A) to mic kick drum. Am I missing something significant by not having a dedicated kick mic such as a Beta 52, AKG 112, etc.?

    Joly modified MK-319 review

    I received my Michael Joly modified MK319 last week. I wanted to live with it for a little while before posting any comments. Here is my amateur review: I liked my stock Oktava for my personal vocals, and could hear great potential in this mic, so I went for the mods. (Floating dome with...
