Just got a copy of Dave Weckl's new CD, which will be released in about a month. There's some incredible tracks on this CD so you might think about getting it. Its both inspired me and depresses me at the same time. The one thing I've noticed isn't just Dave's physical abilities, but that his...

Someone from the 'mic builders' group posted this for us. I thought you guys might find this site pretty interesting. At first I thought it was going to be somewhat simple, but you can get lost in it. I like the old Van Halen photos. http://www.coutant.org/1.html Maybe you've seen it before.

I was gonna post this on the recording forum, but THIS is where the COOL people hang out! (Right?...tell me I'm right) The lastest in useful plug-ins for your DAW. I'm gettin' mine!! http://www.freepgs.com/eyeberriedpall/sonicfinger/index.html Be sure to hit the 'more' button on the first one...

Just wanted to bounce an idea off you guys. In my quest to mic drums with limited channels I had an idea. What if someone were to come up with a dual clip-on mic system that had a balance control and phase switch between two mics to a single XLR, would people be interested in such an item...

Just took apart another V67G for a new mod I'm involved in (I'll explain later) and noticed the transformer was different than previous models. It could just be cosmetics, but the laminates LOOK better. I've ordered Jensen and Cimenag transformers and the lams on those looked almost like chrome...

What drumheads do you use? What heads does your favorite drummer use? What is the worst head you've ever played? What is the most frequently recorded drumhead?

Guys, can you double check my info on an answer in this newbie thread. https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?p=1453651#post1453651 I want to make sure this guy gets the right info and also make sure I have my facts straight. I don't want to give wrong information, but thought I would...

I wanted to post this as a separate thread so you guys won't think I was still having problems with this mic project. I finished it and wanted to thank Marik and paddyponchero for all their assistance. These guys and those like them are the diamonds in this website's crown! This project is...

If you've been wondering how the Royer mod for the MXL 2001/v67g sounds, I can offer a short clip of a main vocal track I did with it. This is a modified v67. Sorry, it's a country track (for those who don't like country). www.monkeyworksinc.com/samples/leavinshort.mp3 BTW, There's NO eq on...

I just bought an E-MU 0404 and started using it with N-Track. Now I'm having a real problem. If I select just the card in the preferences I get playback just fine, but can't record. If I select the E-MU AISO, I get a record signal, but when I press play or record, I get severe artifaction and...

Does anyone know if the SCM800 from Nady is a 1 inch diaphram or a 19mm like the MCA SP1? I don't really care how it sounds, since I'm going to gut it. I just would rather have the 1 inch capsule for my experiment. (those who followed my Sony C-37 thread know why) I'll replace the capsule later...

Hey, Not really into hip-hop/rap but had a question regarding some that I've listened to, since I'm a drummer. Forgive me as I'm a bit of an oldy, but the more new stuff I hear, it sounds like the lyrics are always a little behind the 'pocket' of the beat. I'm just wondering if that's...

What's the final step in getting the sleeve off a Shure SM94. I've unscrewed it, get it past the little ball bearing and then it won't go any farther. I need to resolder the XLR. What's next? Help!

Guys, I'm bidding on a Sony C-37A on eBay. The guy doesn't have a power supply for it, but has the schematic. I've dug up schematics on eBay, but am stumped as I don't know what type of power transformer I'm looking at, as well as finding out the values for the diodes. I'm just not good at...

I know this probably shouldn't be in the mic forum. I just trust the pros who post here and wanted to ask. I just read an interesting article having to do with the conductivity of different metals and audio signals. Silver is the best metal for audio cables, because it can handle all the...

Neil Peart's last name is pronounced "peert" Like "beer". He recently moved here to Santa Monica and a friend of mine helped with the Paragon line for Sabian. Three beers made me think you'd care! Phil

You know the Yamaha Subkick? It looks like a woofer inside a 12" drum with an XLR mic jack that you put in front of you bass drum to get that super low end. I was hanging out at a friend's studio (I won't drop a name, let's just say he's a very well known, well respected drummer.) and noticed he...

How important is the output transformer to the sound of a mic? Is it pretty dramatic, or minorly perceptible? I mean, I know the ones in chinese mics are crap, but what about the difference between Jensen, Cinemag and AMI? Will I really hear a difference? :confused:

I built 3 of the Royer Mods. One was an MXL 2001 and 2 were MXL V67's. I really wanted to see how they compare to really high end mics, so I loaned them to a friend who has a pro studio here in L.A. I asked him to tell me if they were any good and how they rated. He fell instantly in love with...
