    one of my mxl 991 just developed a constant noise about double of the other one

    I swapped the 2 991's with eachother so it's not the cable or the pre. It has a swoosh up about -41 to -24 db whereas the other 991 is only down around -66 to -42, usually pretty low. I'm still using it for loud source, but I have to do something. Call mxl? I think it's been under a year...

    How does anyone decide on what software to go with?

    There are so many and not that far apart in price. Maybe the hardware compatability is what to base it on? Do many of them have free versions like Protools free? (only on win98, btw) It amazes me how many there are, and how many interfaces there are. Maybe people start on one and...

    mic shootouts and simple tests aren't enough

    I've realized that, at least for my ears and brain, that I have to work with a mic for a while and listen to it for a while before I can really get an idea how it sounds. I need time for it to sink in, short clips just won't make that impression on me. I just heard some stuff out of a mic that...

    Did you ever look at your drum track up against the grid?

    What does your track look like when you compare it to a grid of bars/beats? Mine doesn't line up perfectly, I'm on one side or the other by a small amount. Sometimes a lot, and then I have to nudge a few beats over. What is this in relation to the groove? I'm often playing sooner than the...

    Nady SCM 900

    Tried this mic out today and liked it. Pretty good deal for $40, but no adaptor included to mount it, luckily I used one I have that fits it fine, same threads as MXL. My tests were all male vocal very close w acoustic guitar in the background nice case, but I'd rather have a mount.

    Just grabbed a Nanoverb used, but I see they're still selling new

    It looks like these have been around for a long time, not sure how long, but I was surprised to see that they are still available new. It has a nice sound, no noticeable noise, and some adjustments. What's the consensus on this thing, and what compares or is better? I think I got a good deal...

    Conquer the fear of editing your first draft.

    Rarely is the first draft the final version. The problem in believing this is in all of the stories we hear of how people wrote a song in 3 minutes or woke up and wrote it and went back to sleep. Those people usually have been writing for so many years, that their subconscious has taken over...

    CD player cleaner? Safe? Effective? or what.

    I'm starting to have some problems with a nice old Onkyo single cd player I've had for 15 years. Are there lens cleaners or whatever for cd players? Does anyone use these things if they exist?

    Rep. of Mackie mixer pre's pretty high round here, but same pre's avail. racked?

    I don't know, are the Mackie pre's fabricated by them? Or are they using something very close or similar to or farming out or using 3rd party that we can get our hands on ~ affordably. Considering the decent price of their mixers, the pres alone 'could' be extremely affordable....just a thought.
