Hey Good People, Sorry about my very few preamp posts being slightly redundant (asking about overhead pres). I have been reading alot about the RNP, Grace, Sytek pres (even focusrite 428) regarding overhead press. I already own ART TPS for that, but i want to put that AWAY and step up to...

I see the ME-1NV go for $1075 on various web sites. I got this guy talked down to $1000 (new). Is this what they really "go" for and I didnt really talk him down? I think its a good price. average?.....

Ive noticed this "static" that i hear when i play both my lespaul and sg with any kind of loudness. Im playing through a Mesa MkIIC+ into a Mesa 412 cab. The static comes when i have the pickups in the treble (lead) position. Its way worse with the lespaul. Its not the amp cause i switched...

seems i've read about the possible Phase issues (?) in buying 2 of the same preamps as opposed to just one in stereo.(i.e. ME-2NV vs 2 ME-1NV.) well....id sure like to get the 1NV now and get another one later cause im impatient. Probably take me awhile to save the extra $$. What are...

I am looking into getting a stereo pre for drum overheads as well as adding a new flavor to my selection. i own a avalon737 and ART TPS stereo pre (whooptee). I auditioned the Toft ATC-2 and Great River NV on my voice and acoustic guitar and I liked the Toft for its EQ, the compressors were...

ive been looking into another pre for drum overheads and another flavor. i have a 737 and an ART TPS 2 channel pre... i auditioned the Toft ATC-2 and Great River NV on my voice and acoustic guitar as compared to the ART, Avalon 737, and A Designs MP2. I seemed to like the Great River over all...

was driving & thinking (dangerous) about drum mics. people using the ambient/room mic..... now dont you get phase problems/freq.cancellations due to the distance of that mic compared to all the others? whats a good fix, just flip the phase? i would think that moving it around woulndt really...

What do you guys use to record live bands--I'm talking minidisc recorders...something you can hide (if you have to) and isn't too bulky? Are those Sony Minidisc recorders any good? Do they have mics on them? I'm just sick of this GE tape recorder.....it sounds like rat farts. jeremiah

Looking for dual mic pre ($1000 per channel that i can buy one at a time, hopefully) to contrast my avalon 737. I want to use it mostly for drum overheads (km184s) and to have moreoptions when recording anything else. I tried out a Great River ME-1NV from a local store (they were kind enough...

what IS the proper way to connect/disconnect phantom power to a mic to save the life of the mic? Do you plug it in first, then apply or th eother way around? jer www.mp3.com/phosphene

Im gonna try some of the suggestions for stereo micing my cheap-ass acoustic guitar. Im gonna try the 1 mic on the 12th fret and 1 over-the-shoulder configuration first. Here is my small selection of mics. What 2 mics have you had luck with, (if any of these) to mic in this stereo...

When i want stereo acoustic guitar tracks, i usually just record 2 separate tracks. I like the slight variations and imperfections between the two that make them unique. So.....this is what i am wondering.... I've read alot of posts on how to mic an acoustic guitar in stereo (x-y and other...

im still on this converter kick.... How much luck would i have if i got a good mastering piece (TC Electronics Finalizer.......how would you rate this?) and went from my 1880 into that and back again? I have a rosetta 2 channel A/D converter. How much quality would i gain/lose if i went from...

Is it worth it to spend more $$ on a matched stereo set of neumann km184s? I bet their QC is good, but i noticed that you can get them for around $450 and a matched set for $1200 or so. Is it worth it to spend the extra $300 on that? I plan on using them mainly for Drum overheads in my...

Whats a good brand/model of Mastering limiter, without going overboard on price? I sort of know what an Aural Exciter does (wth harmonics that are pleasing to the ear or whatever).....what is the real scoop on these suckas and is it worth looking into getting one? j www.mp3.com/phosphene

on the back of my cheap ass Alesis compressor there is a switch for -10dbV and -4 dbu....for the input (i think its for the input) ----please explain the difference (even though ive read the difference but forget) and which one should i probably have it on if im running a preamp into it and...

I am running an avalon 737 into a 1880. I have decided to get outboard convertors and am fresh to the subject. Is there a big differencbetween 96k and 48k (or whatever it is) in quality? please suggest some good sounding converters (i know you get what you pay for)... i saw an Apogee rosetta...

I am now finding out why my Avalon i just got doesnt sound like i had expected. I am going from the Avalon 737 directly into the XLR input (they said going into the TRS wouls sound the same)the trim on LINE like it should be....BUT... I am told that in order to get the "true" avalon sound, i...
