    Vintage Alesis gold?

    I ran across some of my ancient rack gear this morning. Part of the "treasure" was a rack that held three 1/3 rack alesis units - a headphone amp (yawn), a micro compresser (legendary on the mojopie site), and finally... the rare micro eq. For those too young to remember this jewel, it is a 3...

    ULDC mic project

    Some of you may be aware that I am a professor at famous Ivy League CyFair college (actually a community college near Houston). We have been developing an Ultra Large Diaphram Condenser Microphone. It features a 24" gold sputtered diaphram and pure class A transformerless design. We are having a...

    Rubicon vs Adam ANF10

    Has anyone had a chance to AB these? They bear a superficial resemblence.

    recording drums live

    I have been getting a little frustrated recording drums in a live performance. I have moved the overheads around to minimize nasty off-axis bleed from monitors. I use an SM58 on the snare. It sounds like a baseball bat hitting a telephone pole. I attribute my difficulty to lack of...

    Vm-c7200

    My church is using one of these beasts for it's live sound. There has been talk of replacing it with an analog board that would be easier for volunteer sound men to run. Does anyone use one of these? Would it make a decent companion to an Alesis 24 track HD, orsomething like that? I know...

    Musician and RE live?

    I play in a church band, and I have been recording the services on my AW4416. We don't have a proper soundman, so we have to set up the sound during rehearsal, and get a minimally skilled volunteer to keep things going during the service. It is frustrating. Something often goes wrong, that if...

    Over the Waterfall

    Here is a simple old time tune I recorded last night to see how my relatively new AT4040 worked on mandolin. Over the Waterfall

    New tune

    I got together with a young lady yesterday that wrote these lyrics, I came up with the melody and music. I played geetar. She sang real pretty like. Mitch and Amy's new song warning - a little churchy in a heretical way

    Another AT4040 thread

    I bought an AT4040 a month ago. It has been awesome for male and female vocals, acoustic guitar, and a drum overhead (these are all the applications I have tried it on so far) I like it better than my 603s for acoustic guitar better than my Oktava MKL2500 for vocals (now I want to sell it)...

    line to s/pdif converter?

    I have been recording the live performances of the church band I am in with my AW4416. I use the board inserts as direct outs. The AW4416 has 8 analog ins, and I could use more, of course. I can use the s/pdif in if I get a converter. I know there are mic pres that have converters, but I...

    A different thread about the RNC, really

    My Yamaha AW4416 has compression on every channel, that seems functional - if not sexy. What could a RNC give me that I don't already have? Or a RNLA?

    Will Vegas do this?

    I need software that will allow me to take clips from commercial dvd's and convert them to mpg's to incorporate into power point, and what have you. Is this an unusual need, or will lots of software do this?

    Exotic Patch Cords

    I am doing some recording of a live show. The mixer at the event is a 32 channel Behringer POS. It doesn't have direct outs per se, but it does have channel inserts on all of the mono channels. I can use (according to the manual) patch cords with bridged trs at one end and plain 1/4" at the...

    Best Freebie (or cheap) ware for splitting up a .wav file?

    I recorded a one hour live performance tonight on my Yamaha AW4416. I can export wav files to my PC through a program called AW extract. I used to have access to Sonar, which could copy a section of a longer piece to a new song, thus splitting up the performance into seperate tracks. Not any...

    electret vs "true" condenser

    I've been looking into SDC's lately. The AT SDC's, the new AKG C451B, Shure SM81, Sennheiser e614, and others are electrets. I think the SP C4, Rode SDC, MXL 603, Oktava MK012, up to Josephsons, Neumanns, Gefells and others are "true" condensers. Can any correlation be made between any...

    Shure KSM109 - what gives?

    MF is selling these for $179 Searches of the Mic Forum have yielded very few results. Are they good for anything? I need a mic for mandolin, acoustic guitar, drum overheads, etc.

    Brick as Bass DI

    I have been using my Brick as a bass DI. It is awesome. Very warm - and with a beautiful potent bass, it requires very little EQ. It triumphs over my SansAmp BDDI, J- station, countryman, and various and sundry passive boxes.

    Illegal Sonar upgrade?

    I have been using a copy of Sonar 2.0 XL, that I got from a friend a few years ago. It is most likely hacked. It being unregistered, is it possible to upgrade it with a registered upgrade package? Am I being a really evil person for wanting to save a few hundred bucks?

    shouldn't micing rhyme with slicing?

    Microphone is a noun - it got abbreviated to "mic". Then it was turned into a verb. I vote for "mic'ing".
