    Cascade Mic ID

    Anyone know what model this might be, and if the mic is worth anything? Specifically 2 of them for $80 - awesome deal, good deal, reaasonable deal, or bad deal. I don't know anything about this brand.

    Crazy idea...

    Occasionally, elsewhere on this board, we see colaboration projects develop. Would it be at all possible to peice together a casette based colab? We'd of course have to mail the tape to and fro. I'd be up for it - rhythm guitar, vox, harmonica are my main "abilities". Dave - I'm looking at...

    So I bought some rack gear...

    Dude on craigslist was selling the following (and a bunch of other stuff): Lexicon LXP-15 Multi-Effects Processor $100 2 Units / Nady CL-5000 Dual Channel Compressor/Limiter/Gate each $25 It seemed like a good deal, so I said what the heck. I fear this is a slippery slope, though....but I'm...

    sm57 price

    I'm usually scared to post here, but I'll try. Please be nice. So, is it my imagination, or did sm57's jump in price recently? I coulda swore they were going for 79 recently at the (my) usual places - zzounds.com, and musiciansfriend.com, specifically. Now they both have em listed at 99...

    424 mkii question

    Hey Dave (just guessing on who will answer this :cool: ), Am I correct that I can't use the fx send (1 or 2) unless the track fader is at least partly on? I have a horribly dynamic vocal track that I would like to run through a compressor, via the fx loop, but to do so, it seems I need to mix...

    monitor isolation pad

    So I have so real Monitors on the way! Bye bye hi fi! I'm scared to give more details as the brand name may start with a "B." But it's gotta be better than what I had. Anyway, my question is about decoupling (to use a fancy word I read somewhere) them from the shelf and desk. I don't want...

    Roland DS-30A monitors - opinions

    I guy near me is selling a pair of these for 200 on craigslist. I'm a little leary of 5" woofers, but consensus around these parts is it's just a matter of "tuning my ear" etc. Anybody have these? Unlike a lot of products, I am having a hard time finding reviews of these online. I'd love...

    Any SE MI Drummers looking for a band?

    I know this isn't really the point of this place, but what the hell. Our drummer is AWOL, and we apparently need to replace him. Just thought I'd drop a note here to see if there are any Detroit area drummers interested for either a permanent or temp gig. Our primary focus is getting some new...

    M-Audio MobilePre problem driving me crazy

    Hello, I am trying to get some live songs off of minidisc onto my computer via an M-Audio MobilePre into Kristal (all I can afford) on my laptop. Everything works fine and dandy, I get a signal, decently clean and after a completely random time, I will get a wall block of clipped noise, that...

    An Sm57, Sm58, and a Beta 58A Walk into a bar...

    well actually into my basement to record a bluegrass style 3-pt vocal harmony. Who get's which mic, between the baritone, tenor, and alto? Guessing on the ranges, but I don't think there's a true bass in the group. Could be Baritone, low tenor, higher tenor. Hell I dunno. Anyway, which mic...

    RFI on 424mkii FX loop

    Hello, I was working on some mixdowns this weekend, and I was using the FX send routed through my computer (via a new M-Audion MobilePre) to add some live FX. This worked suprisingly well - no signal delay or anything. However I was getting quite a bit of Radio Interference in the FX loop - I...

    Anyone wanna try to write some cheezy lyrics?

    I need some words for the following song. It's for a parody side project called Whistling Moon Travellers. This song basically need lyrics for 3 verses and a chorus. and maybe a repeated gang vocals outro. No topic is off limits, but it is supposed to be kind of a joke song, so nothing too...

    Built-In Fx vs. other Free Fx

    I may be getting Audition at some point...but probably not. But whilst daydreaming about it, I was wondering how the built-in fx are, such as the compressor, eq, and reverb, and how they might compare to other (free) plugins like the Classic Series. I am such a noob to this computer recording...

    sound in/sound out

    I am a non-computer recordist, for the record, hence the following question: I can certainly understand that a decent souncard/audio interface is critical for getting a good sound into the computer, but is it that important for the playback? What I'm getting at is if I were to have tracks...

    Live Performance - stereo fx worth it?

    I have a Fender "ultimate chorus" amp that I play guitar thru for live shows. It's got a stereo fx loop, that I could use with a delay effect (Boss dd-5). However, I never bother becuase (a) I don't wanna bother with the (at least) 2 xtra cables running between amp and pedal board, and (b) I...

    Recording "on location"

    Anybody ever packed up shop and brought their recording gear somewhere else to set up a temporary studio? I am hoping to do so in the next few months, and just looking for tips or potential pitfalls. We would basically be in a completely isolated cabin in the middle of nowhere for a long...

    what key signature?

    This is so stupid, I am embarrassed to even ask. I have an original song I was trying to transcribe last night and I couldn't figure out what key to write it in. The verses progression is: A-Fmaj7-Cmaj7-C11 A-Fmaj7-Fmaj7/C-Fmaj7/B Chorus: Em-F-Em-G So? C, with the accidental C# for the A...

    double mic clip for x-y recording

    Hi, I'm hoping to start recording some live performances, using as littel equipment as possible. I am thinking of 2 mics, 1 mic stand, a mixer and a minidisc recorder. I'm not quite sure how to go about attaching 2 mics to one stand, though. I'm sure there is a double clip available...
