C1 $130 shipped I've got one of the original Studio Project C1 mikes that has no bass roll-off switch. It's a great mike. I've taken good care of it. It has all of the original paperwork, pop filter, case, and shockmount. I just got a T3 (among other things) and need to let go of mikes I...

It's just that my applications are too subdued to take advantage of this incredible mike. I've used it for more energetic vocals, and it beats anything I've got. Miking a bass, guitar cab, just sounds so smooth. But my stuff is mostly acoustic folk, and this just isn't the mike for me. I've...

Bought new and received in the mail Thursday, August 26th. It's an incredible mike, but my applications are too soft to take advantage of a good ribbon. My misfortune is your lucky gain! Serial number 699. Hurry up -- I might change my mind.

I've spent many, many hours reading reviews, posts, listening to sound clips, and really listening to my own stuff and just putting on the headphones to hear what's coming through... Not only that, I've been literally stalking websites and ebay ready to make a purchase of a high-brow preamp...

I've got the VTB1 and VCQ3. Does the answer lie purely in how much signal is coming into the pre and showing on the LED, or will the extra-added gain through the output make a difference? Since I haven't heard this mic through a really nice pre, I have nothing to compare my recorded sound...

I'm looking into new preamps, and what I've got, VC3Q and VTB1, both have input gains and output volumes. Does this mean the RNP's output volume is always at it's highest, and is controlled purely by the input gain? Any pros or cons to either set up?

First: I've got the VCQ3 and the VTB1. I'd like to get a two-in one pre, and something a step up. Is that even possible for this price? It's possible I can go higher, but since this is just a hobby, it's hard to justify it. Also, what would you recommend as an e.q. unit -- and would that...

I've read a lot of your FAQ on soundproofing/acoustic treatment. I have a 10 x 8 room that has sounded good recording acoustic guitar, mandolin, accordion, banjo, some amped guitar, vocals. But now that I'm trying to record fiddle, I'm not getting a good sound at all, using the same MXL603S...

It's been 85 + degrees in our unairconditioned house, and I was wondering if heat can change the way a microphone (particularly a C1 and MXL603S) receives and relays a signal?

I've digested most of the prior tips here: Record close; record at least 3-6' away; mike the bridge; mike the nut; mike both of them, have one mike 6' away, and one close, etc. My problem might not be solvable, but I hope it is. It's probably my room. It's a very small room -- a square 8 x...

Lately it seems I've seen studio shots of the mic about two to four inches above the mouth of a singer... Comments?

I saw comments on this a year ago, but didn't need the info then. (Did a search -- and nada). I seem to remember Harvey saying a small condensor (MXL603?) around the bridge area? He's got a pickup, so I'll throw that through a bass sansamp, too.

I'm getting an SM7B, and, from past threads, I take it you need a better-than-average-homerecording pre. I've got a Meek VCQ3 and VTB1, plus the pres on an MBox. The two pres I have do, as anyone who has them knows, get up to 60 on the input gain. If it's not enough for soft vocals, or even...

I've got a C1. I like it. But I've read so much about the SM7 (or SM7B), that I was wondering if anyone who had both would give me their opinions on the differences -- specifically on recording vocals, pros and cons, etc. Bodhisan

Life used to be simple. One mic, one preamp. Then two mics, two preamps. Now I have several mics, but still two preamps....I don't think I need any more preamps. Should I just plug and unplug from the preamps as I use different mics, or should I use a mixer or patch bay? Obviously, I know...

Anyone know anything about this mic?

Sorry, guys and gals, I'm sure this has been covered, but I tried doing a search and couldn't pull up diddly. Is the only difference between these two mikes the extra patterns in the T3? Thanks. Bodhisan

I'll soon be getting one. I'm buying it because of what some of you have said about it having that "air" reverb feel to it. That "pro" studio sound. Is this a particular setting on one of the presets that is best to work with on this slight reverb? Any other tips for this piece? Thanks...

Can anyone tell me how to inspect/fix the reverb in a Peavey? It's a small Backstage Plus. Thanks. (Yeah, I know already -- "get a Fender" or fill in the blank amp.)
