Everyone says that the 58 is basically the same mic as the 57 but with a windscreen. My question is, are 58's as protected (from say a drumstick) as the 57's when they have their windscreens off?

Im trying to pick up a few extra shure sm-57's. If anyone has any they would like to sell in the 45-50 dollar area send me an email wireneck@hotmail.com thanks

Has anyone ever heard of Altec mics? The one i saw looked pretty old and is sort of like the "elvis" type looking mic. Are these good for anything? Just curious saw one for possibly pretty cheap but not sure if its junk or what.

Ive read alot of the post about the 3 mic technique for drums. I was just curious if this would be a descent starting place even if you were intending on micing all the drums in the first place. It seems that the 3 mic technique focuses on the fact that you are only using 3 mics. Im just trying...

My buddy is downsizing his studio and when i was over there last night he sent me home with a bunch of stuff he trying to get rid of. One of the units is an Antares-1a Auto tune intonation processor. He said hes prob used the unit 5 times in the 2-3 years hes owned it. Anyways its practically...

Hey guys this is my first real post in the mixing clinic so go easy on me. I don't think this is the final mix but I would like to get some opinions from everyone. the song is called "The point at which things break" http://wireneck.mylogic.net/roughmix/vocal.mp3

I know that the sm-57 is the most common setup for micing up an amp for rock guitar maybe with a condensor a few feet back. Ive seen a few post where people have recommended a condenser for micing a cab. Is this mainly used on clean tones or do people use condensers on distorted tones as well...

I have some drum tracks that I was copying from one adat to another through the digital bus. I noticed that the levels that are coming in on the second machine are quieter. I was just wondering if this is normal and if it isn't do you have any ideas how to fix it? Im transfering from an Alesis...

I was just curious if anyone has any tricks to help lower the amount of cymbal sound in tom mics. It seems like most of the drummers ive recorded lately have their cymbals right above the toms and beat the hell out of them. I usually use sm-57s on the toms close mic'ed. I mainly recording...

I have an alesis studio 32 mixer which i use the direct outs to send the signal to my adats. Since i do alot of drum recording i can't really use my grp outs to route to my adat. My question is, if i want to bounce say a vocal track on track 1 to track 2, can i just send track 1 to one of my...

I did a search but I didn't find anything so here goes my question. Does anyone have any links to a good page or have advice on basic soldering techniques for things like 1/4" jacks (guitar cables). I can sort of solder i think but it looks like krap and it takes forever. I know it takes...

I need some help with the alesis studio 32 mixer. Ive been working on the studio 24 for the past year and recently got a 32. ON the 24, when you need to bounce tracks lets say , bouncing tracks 1-5 to track 6. You just send tracks 1-5 to the group faders and then on track 6 hit the grp source...

I know this could go in the alesis forum but i don't think i will get replys fast enough in there. Im trying to buy a sync cable for 2 alesis adats. I found one at www.macmidimusic.com but they have a minimum order of 30 bucks and the sync cable is only 8 dollars. I would like to buy a sync...

I record by myself alot and I always get annoyed because the cord on my LRC (little remote control) is so short. Is there anyway to buy an extension for this or make one? Just a thought, someone let me know.

Presonus website has a kit that allows you to rack 2 blue max compressor's or two blue tubes. I can't find anywhere selling them online and I emailed presonus almost 2 weeks ago and haven't gotten a single reply. Anyone know where i can find one of these? I know i can get just a rack shelf but...

Im trying to transfer 8 tracks from my Adat xt to my lx-20 through the digital out and ins. I tried this quickly earlier and i noticed some things that im not sure about. I hooked the digital out of the xt to the in of the Lx. Both units are set to digital input. The first thing i noticed when...

OK I know everyone told me not to buy an adat off ebay but of course like a dumbass i did anyways. (I don't have access to any stores that sell them used and the price for new is out of my budget) I purchased an alesis adat-xt for $300 with only 350 hours. It arrived this morning, i plugged it...

Ive just recently acquired a second Alesis Adat which in the process has forced me to upgrade to a larger mixer. I am going to need (4) 1/4 to 1/4 8 channel snakes for my new setup (6ft at the most) does anyone know where the cheapest place to buy online would be? The lowest price i found was...

For about the past year I have been using only 1 overhead (Audio technica 3035) on drums due to lack of tracks. In this setup i had the mic sort of in the center of the kit and tried to pick up as many of the cymbals as i could. Recently i got two mxl-603s but i haven't had alot of time to...

A friend gave me this pedal (MXR JUINOR) a few years ago because he said it didn't work. I was digging through some boxes the other day and found it, haven't been able to get it to do anything but i was just curious if anyone knows what it does. I could be way off but my guess is that its some...
