Hi BigRay. Seeing as you do all live -- I'm assuming this means with an audience -- is the "visual" of mic's and mic stands ever an issue? What I mean is ... is anyone at the venue ever concerned that the mic's/stands are an "eyesore" and request more discreet coverage? If so, how do you...

Oh, no, it's not going back to MP3. The plan was to just convert the whole thing to WAV as the last step. It would be easier to just work with the tracks as MP3s and then just do the one conversion at the end to WAV rather than converting all the MP3s to WAV first. I'm just wondering if...

I've got some MP3s I'm working with that need to be either shortened or stretched a bit in order to sync exactly with the master guide track. Would I be better off converting the MP3s to WAV prior to shortening their length? Or doesn't it really help any? I'd rather just leave them as MP3s...

One thing I haven't been able to locate is a frequency resopnse curve for the Peluso. Anyone seen one?

Anyone know some reputable dealers of the CEMC6?

The Hamburg sounds different from the Vienna. I've heard them both on male and female vocals and thought the Hamburg was better on both.

For how many mic's? XLR? Do you need phantom?

What other mic's have you tried?

Have you ever heard a Baby Bottle??? I'm not fan of the NT1a, which I'd rate as "mediocre". But the Baby Bottle ... I've heard it on both male and female vocals and I'd rate it a as "awful".

So, what's the truth here? The need to turn off phantom before plugging in a condenser is basically an old wives tale?

Well, what I'm going to try (that was recommended here) is to adjust the treble and bass dials on my monitors while listening to some material I know very well. My moniors always sound kind of bright and I'm figuring that if I EQ the music I know intimately to the way it is "supposed" to sound...

Thanks for saying that, Glen. That makes me feel good. Working with audio is something that the average person doesn't really have much appreciation for the degree of difficulty. It seems the only time audio is noticed is if there's something wrong with it. Anyways ... on my current project...

But then you inquire about open-back headphones? If you want to keep your sound in and other sounds out than means closed back.

I know the 7506 and 280 are around $100. I've used both of those.

Will you use them around noisy home environment, such as with TV on? Is this just for basic cutting or will you do some mixing as well?

Well, I'm not real familiar with what they have to say but I did see where Bruce Swedien was on a forum and someone asked along the lines "well, if we aren't supposed to use compression how do we control the levels" and Bruce replied "you ride the faders ... recording is hard work so get used...

I've been mixing a vocal today and I was comparing back and forth, with and without compression, and I made the observation that compresion tends to really kill the room reverb. I was only using mild compression on the vox of 1.5:1 and it took out a lot of the room sound. I wish I knew what it...

I read that Steve Albini said that "vocals are the only instrument you have to compress a little bit".

Well, what confused me is they are using the same colors as they did for the Hz, without offering an explanation about the axis. ... And I would HOPE that the red line is not 90 degrees off axis response.

Okay. Now I get it. So, that must be 180 off axis.
