Hi, I use a DMP2 supposedly very similar to a DMP3. It has XLR or phone jack inputs and phone jack outputs, left and right. What I want to know is can I make the outputs mono with a Y cable or is this likely to fry my preamp. Thanks, Hairy Larry

Hi, My mix room has acquired a new ambience thanks to this forum. First Andy sold me his vtb1 and I started noticing a blue glow. Then Travis sold me his Wharfedales with a blue light each. I started wondering so I checked the documentation. Sure enough on the vtb1 diagram it said Cool Blue...

Hi, In the very strange thread carelessorc said. "It might not be the Jaz drive! Other users have posted about playback problems on the VF: losing bits of a track, or having bits of a track play in the wrong song. They weren't exporting tracks, but otherwise they had the same weird shit as you...

Mic shootout - MXL 603 vs MXL 770 I have read that these mics have the same capsule. The 603 is a highly regarded inexpensive condensor mic in a pencil format. The 770 is a side address mic. Looking a the capsules they do appear to be identical. I decided to record the same acoustic guitar...

Hi, I'm looking for the e604 because it is so small and light. I want to mount it on my harp stand and sing and play through it. If that doesn't work I'll have to use it as a drum mic. Preferably used and cheap. I'm short after Christmas. Maybe you bought a three pack and don't need three...

Hi, I've got a Yamaha MG10/2 mixer for sale. It is like new and has seen very little use. When I bought it I tested everything and it all works. I'm selling it for $60 + shipping. Mixer, power supply, manual, like new, in box. Thanks, Hairy Larry

Hi, I thought I'd post some pics of my Jecklin disc. I used this recording "The Gift", acoustic guitar instrumentals of popular Christmas Carols. You can see the msh1o mic mounted on the disc. Of course the other one is on the other side. I used fake lambs fleece that I got at Hobby Lobby...

Looking for info on Calrad and Kay now with Harp Mic Shootout Hi, I recently aquired some Calrad and Kay microphones. Vintage. Pre XLR. I scoured the internet and came up blank. Does anyone know where I can find spec sheets or any other info on these mics? Scroll down for comparison takes on...

Hi, I suffer from LOO. Love of omnis. Right now I have four pairs. EV 635a Shure SM61 Realistic 1070b msh-1O So you see the picture. Three pairs of vintage dynamics. One pair condensor. So here's my questions. What are your favorite dynamic omnis? Do you use any dynamic omnis with extended...

Hi, I was Christmas shopping at a flea market and my daughter spotted a couple of mics. Two Calrad DM-9, NIB, $2.50 each. So after I got them home I twisted a 1/4 inch end on them and they both work. They sound pretty clean but get breathy and sibilent close up. My guess is omnis. They look...

Hi, I've been recording Blues Fest in Jonesboro, AR. Acts vary from electric blues to bluegrass and I will use the same setup for 5 or 6 acts. I've been using a stereo pair of omnis about 20-30 feet from the stage and 12 to 20 feet apart. I place them in front of the sound board trying to...

Hi, I'm Hairy Larry and I've been lurking and commenting for a while in the microphone forum, learning from the big thread and all the recommendations. Everyone seems to have a different idea about how cheap a cheap mic is. Some think anything under $1000 is cheap, some under $500, some under...

Hi, Has anyone used the ADAT interface to add eight more tracks in to their VF160? What worked for you and what didn't. I record bands live and sometimes eight isn't enough. Thanks, Hairy Larry
