    My "Dinner with Harvey"!

    After the AES convention closed for the day on Monday, I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Harvey and his family (his son Alex is a top flight engineer too BTW), along with such "notables" as Dave Martin, Mike Rivers, Fletcher, et al at dinner that evening. For those not acquanted with the...

    SM57's vocal hall of fame!

    Just thought it would be fun to start a thread of the ubiquitous SM57 and the many hits that have been sung with it. Like "the girl next door" it can be underappreciated. So... What hits do you know that have been recorded with it? Chris P.S. I know a number of them, however, don't want to...

    Advantages of using minidisc to record

    I come here to praise minidisc, not to bury it! Advantages for the recording musician/songwriter 1) Easy to use 2) Superior sound quality to cassette-at level of semi-pro reel to reels 3) No need to "back up" recordings like computer recording (in a practical sense) 4) minidiscs, both...

    Invitation to "SINGER'S FORUM"!

    Well, it's really not an official forum, however, I just started a thread over in the Recording Forum to try and create the next best thing. All singers are welcome! Chris P.S. Maybe this will be a fun break from the recent "heaviness" of this forum, especially for us "regulars".

    How about a SINGER'S FORUM?

    This is sort of a "Part II" to a thread I started some time ago. Not really expecting to create a new forum here, although it's rather amusing we have guitar/drum/etc. forums galore, and the MOST important part of a song is conspicuously absent. So... How about starting our own informal forum...

    Thanks Harvey!

    Just wanted to thank you for clueing me into the Beyer Soundstar MKII dynamic microphone. Two are on the way from e-bay for $50 each(!). There was someone who scored two for $49.00!!! on a "Buy it now". Still a happy camper to get those! Chris P.S. This info was gleaned from your R.A.P...

    Got my Studio Projects VTB-1 today!

    Unfortunately, I won't have time to mess around with it until tommorow night (or sooner?). However... It seems to be very well built. Wouldn't be surprised if the only things left after a nuclear halocaust would be; 1) Cockroachs 2) Keith Richards 3) VTB-1 Chris

    Tried out the Studiophile SP5B active monitors

    FWIW, with all the buzz about these low cost powered monitors, I went over to the local Guitar Center to hear what they were like. IMHO, they sounded like when you overuse a sonic enhancer. Quite harsh sounding, especially when compared to the KRK V4. Not enough bass definition either even for...

    Using an enhancer to improve "cassette" recordings

    Recently I did an (easy) experiment with my BBE 264 sonic maximizer. (the most basic BBE unit BTW-goes for about $70) Took some commercial CD's and cassettes of identical albums, and used the BBE to see if they would help the cassette level of clarity to be closer to a CD in terms of track...

    #1 UK hit recorded on cassette 8 track!!

    Found this at www.sospubs.co.uk/search The article is "Today Derby, Tomorrow The World!" The #1 hit was recorded in a musician's home bedroom, and the vocal was done with a Realistic PZM microphone! In fact a Neumann U87 was ditched in favor of using the PZM. The name of the hit is "Your Woman"...
