    AT4033 vs. MXL2003 (an unprofessional comparison )

    OK, this my opinion of a side by side test of these two mics and , no, I'm not posting MP3 files. I really performed the test only because I wanted to see if the MXL 2003 was Ebay bait after I purchased the AT4033. This is my opinion only . . . made with my ( and my wife's ) ears as a judge...

    AT4033 vs AT4050

    Has anyone used both of these ? What are the sonic differences, besides the obvious switchable patterns on the 4050 ? I've read the spec sheets, but I was wondering if anyone had compared them side by side. I was saving for the AT4050, but then I bid and won an AT4033 on Ebay for $238 complete...

    Panning with Computer Software

    When mixing down in computer software, do you ever plan your pans , or do you just type in a number and play it by ear ( pun intended ) ? And what's with that 0-127 stuff . . . how does that relate to the real world ? Do you find it odd that 180 / 127 = 1.417 . . . almost the square root of 2...

    Don't Give up the Dream !

    Hey Guys, I just finished mixing this last night in Guitar Studio 2. Hope it inspires you to keep on recording . . .not the music, but maybe the lyrics. The MP3 came out a little more distorted than the wav file. I guess it's a mix of 16bit and the encoder i use ? Anyway, the song is at...

    Making quality cables

    I plan on making some patch cables and 8x8 snakes, maybe a couple of mic cords. I'll be using neutrik connectors making a mix of TRS to TRS, TRS to XLR,XLR(M) to XLR(F). While I'm sure about the connectors, I'm not sure about the cable I want to use. I want low contact resistance and low...

    Sonusman Question . . . or maybe other Gadget Lab users ?

    Sonusman, I know you use a Lynx card, but thought you would be the best to offer advice here. I've decided to move up to 24 bit sampling with my studio and still stay on a budget, selling off some old analog stuff to break even. I upgraded to Cakewalk Pro Audio 9, which supports 24 bit, and...

    Here's a cover mix thrown out for feedback. Still working on some of my own stuff. This was for practice, but the first you've heard out of PAPicker. This is "Feel Like Makin' Love" by Bad Company . . . at least, the last half. I only have a small amount of web space as yet. Get it here ! [a...

    Marshall ( MXL ) Large Condensers

    I recently purchased a MXL 2003 large condenser microphone and have experimented with it on a number of applications and projects. Literature and reviews I read on the mic compared it to the Neumann U87 and, in general, to mics costing 10 times more than its street price of $279. I haven't...

    How to mount a POD ? My home Studio.

    I've been reading this forum for a while now, but this is my first post. Thought I'd share this idea in case any of you were having problems mounting the POD. I was trying to figure out how to get the little gear I use in a limited space. I started with an old computer printer cart that had...
