    AKG 414 or AT4050?

    That is a good deal. If that falls through there is a dealer on ebay that sells them new for $412.I bought a 4033 from them and have been tempted to order 4050 as well.

    Shipping in the cold

    Where I'm at it's been 5-15 degrees F. Is it O.K. to ship a preamp/electronics in this temp ?

    problem w/cheap converters ?

    Your laughing now. Imagine me walking in a studio with my beat VCR in hand and telling them I had my master VHS I wanted put to CD. :D

    problem w/cheap converters ?

    Someone on gearslutz made mention of someone doing just that. They didn't really give any details. If I had the skills I would be on that right now.

    problem w/cheap converters ?

    Could be.All I know for sure is the the VHS sounds the best to me. I don't know how the signal is processed by a VCR but it does do someting I really like. I by no means want to start recording to VHS. What I want to try and find out is what I need to do to get my guitar and voice to sound that...

    problem w/cheap converters ?

    So I ran the VHS signal to digital. Sounds close to original digital recording, lacks depth with the same harshness to the highs. This would to me confirm that somethings going wrong in the conversion ,yes ? Sounds like a job for the msh4. ;)

    problem w/cheap converters ?

    mshilarious, Thanks so much for the info.That is much more in depth than I could have gone. I thought that might be possible. I have been messing around with a tape simulator pluggin and have been able to get results fairly close to the VHS but always at the cost of clarity.I'm using the...

    problem w/cheap converters ?

    I routed them all to the same mixer using each devices line outs. I hope to redo this test this weekend in more controlled way. This was just a quick test but seems to have opened a can of worms for me. Just run your signal into the line in on the VCR. If I could I would record to VHS...

    problem w/cheap converters ?

    After reading a thread about recording to VHS I decided to try it. What I found surprised me.It sounded really good. So after that I recorded a song to four different destinations.Fostex MR8(16bit/44.1), computer using Tascam US-122(24bit/44.1),old tape machine, and VHS(HiFi). The mic was an...

    Importance of pre's on limited tracks ?

    Not sure how you put that together.It's my recordings that aren't up to my personal standards. Maybe a good pre would help get the results I want. I'm just looking for ways to get the quality I'm after. Of the demo's I've done with my current setup I've recieved nothing but compliments.I was...

    Importance of pre's on limited tracks ?

    Thanks Timothy, thats good to hear.The Great River is a bit out of my reach right now, perhaps in the future. For the most part my recordings sound decent but I wouldn't feel comfortable charging someone for my CD, at least not full price.

    Hmmm. I find I like this quite a bit on my voice. Not a first choice but certainly does a good job.... for me that is.

    Importance of pre's on limited tracks ?

    I guess my needs are more than just personal. I record and it is usually just me but the CD's are for demo's and hopefully more. I'm trying to get the best quality I can. I have been debating on the RNC. I think it could be useful but for now I've just been using the compression that came...

    Importance of pre's on limited tracks ?

    Thanks. That was pretty much what I thought but just needed to here it from someone else.

    Importance of pre's on limited tracks ?

    Having treated my room and found mic's I really like I was wondering if a good mic pre would be a the next logical step. After my reading on this forum and other's it seems that the real advantage of a good pre is when you start adding a lot of tracks. My needs are for personal use and I usually...

    One take,single mic bluegrass recording,compression ?

    Thank you for the very in depth ideas. G. Yes the vocals seem to be a problem area. I've tried different mic positions but it seems to be hard to get the right balance. I can get it pretty close to what I want but I was hoping compression would take me that final inch or two to get where it...

    One take,single mic bluegrass recording,compression ?

    Somehow the idea of doing single mic bluegrass style recordings has infected me. I can't help but think that compression would be a huge help. I'm looking to smooth the sound a bit and hopefully just give the sound that touch it needs. I've read all the compression advice I can find and have a...
