Just got the mic. I was worried it would look super ghetto but It actually doesn't look half bad. There are some imperfections in the paint but from a distance it looks pretty good. I'm gonna give it a try with the super cheap bass combo I have here. Here are some quick photobooth pics:

Today I won a e602 on ebay for 56 bucks! The previous owner painted the exterior black. Now this doesn't bother me much as nobody will hear the cosmetic change that has been made to the mic. However it would be nice to restore it and pretty it up. Has anyone tried such a thing? I was thinking of...

So I have a sony radio that is pretty decent but lacks a power supply. Its a sony CFD-F10 and the power jack is shown in the pictures below. Does anyone know where I can get a plug for one of these things?

I usually use SM58's and MD421's and I want to give a D330 I repaired a shot. Live people get quite close to these mics and roll off lots of lows. In the studio how close should one get? Also anyone ever try a KM84 on vocals? I never thought of using mine for that. I heard that a KM184 was used...

Shure 809 819 Surface Mount Microphone Preamplifier Shure 809 819 | eBay Snatched one of these up today for 40 bucks! I'm hoping on using this along with a subkick on the bass drum and sending my d112 to floor tom duty :D.

So one of my bands most popular song uses the word "weed" in the chorus. From what I have heard marijuana references are not allowed on the radio and they are only allowed if very discrete. For example 2 Chainz says "I am smoking on that gas" in one of his songs. However Drake uses the word...

I gotta finish this track by Wednesday so hopefully 'yall can give me some feedback soon. This is a track I did with my band a couple months back. I'm thinking of overdubbing the bass as there was some fret buzz when we recorded and I also got some fancy new pickups. I would like feedback on the...

I have tested both mics and I have no complaints so far. The AMI needed to be held together in 2 places and one has switches and thus the clamp is not a possibility. I hear tape can add some nice color to a recording though :laughings:

For sale is a 6 channel Tascam US-800 Recording interface. It has served me well but I have upgraded to a US-1800. It is in good condition as shown in the photos below. Its 125 dollars shipped CON US. I am also including an uninstalled copy of cubase LE 5.

Sorry for the delay everyone. I have had a tiring week at work. Anyway here are some pictures :o Samson C01 AMI Orient F22 XLR Repair I will test these out today hopefully. The F22 has a body where I do not know how to hold it together. It looks nice so I hope not to have to cover it in tape...

Hi Everyone. I was wondering if its OK to record from a USB interface to a USB hardrive. I am currently running a Tascam US-1800 into a 2013 macbook pro with Logic 9 (which became outdated today:cursing:) I like to record straight to my G-drive slim external hard drive. Could this cause problems...

So I found a mic lot that was part of an estate sale on ebay. 45 bucks for 2 mics and 2 shockmounts. Contacted the seller and he had no idea what the mics were. I got a Samson C01 and the other mic is a bit more intriguing. Some sort of U47 Clone in need of some repair. It says AMI orient LCC on...

Give this a listen and let me know what you think! Norman EP | Primate House

My Band recorded the instrumentals live in a local studio 2 weeks ago. Since then we have tracked vocals and mixed. I would love some feeback on my mixes as the more hands the merrier! :D http://primatehouse.bandcamp.com/

So today I was thinking how its best to use brand new heads when recording. However new heads are expensive! I was wondering if you can put a set of drumheads on a drum for a day to record and then take them off and save them for your next session. Would this work or would it stretch out the...

If you can sell me both I would be extra happy! Oh and I'm looking for a couple GLS ES 57/58 mics too.

I have noticed multiband compression can be really nice if done right. However it is very mysterious and difficult to do right from what I understand. If anyone has any good advice or articles that do a good job of teaching it would be much appreciated. Most of the tutorials I have found seem to...

Say I want to comp a quantized bass part and a non quantized bass part, or a pitch corrected and non pitch corrected vocal part. Is there a way I could put these together in logic and use quick swipe to comp them together?

I'm in New York and the Cicadas haven't come out yet but I'm scared. Has anyone had any experiences with Cicadas and tracking? I'm especially scared about acoustic instruments and vocals. :D

So I am not a drummer but I serve as the engineer/producer for my band. From my understanding drums tend to be tuned differently when being close miked rather than unmiced. My band is going into a studio at the end of the month to track an EP. I like the drum sound on a lot of 90's records...
