True words for sure Massive :thumbs up:. Nothing impacts mix translation more.

I would not recommend doing this modification if you happen to have an old version (unidyne) of the mic(s). The mod is meant for newer versions since the xformers in theses new mics are not as good as the old. I've moded a newer 57 and use it on snare drums and while the output is lower it...

+1 Also a lot of note taking

Latency is a consideration. I use the interface for mostly mixing in an editing/mixing rig I have away from my studio so latency is not a real concern for me. If this is an issue for you, RME drivers have about the lowest latency I know. This is very true. Room treatment will make a huge...

RME make good products for sure but in your price range you might want to look at the TASCAM UH-7000. Built very well, has Burr-Brown converters, and pre amps a pertty clean too. There is a thread on gearslutz compairing the the TASCAM to the babyface.

Lots of good advice but I'd recommend correcting kick/bass issues during tracking; If you go in with a "fix it in the mix" attitude you're more likely to end up doing a lot more work and never really getting what you want. I'd recommend starting with drum tuning (which is a must in every...

^^^^^^^^ Exactly!

As Greg stated 2002 are had to beat. For recording, I've been using Signature series 16, 17, & 18 crash, 13" HH, & a dark energy ride which all sound and translate very well. However, this will ultimately come down to style, genre, and personal taste; therefore, I'd recommend heading to a...

Stop mixing with your eyes and start using your ears! Assuming proper gain staging, as long as nothing is clipping, who cares where the position of the faders end up during the mix. IF it sounds good it is! In fact I would contend that fader position in most pro mixes are not static and...

Don't have them but RØDE NT5 is in that price range. I do have a pair of MXL-603 (also in your price point) but I had them modified (made them much better).

I have a UH-7000, it is extremely well built and the pres are very clean and very much usable. If you're looking for pre-amps with "color" they aren't that.

Agree

I have a set of really cheap ribbons that I've used for drum room mics that sound actually pretty good. I use a pair of Apex 205 ribbons however, I did modify them myself as depicted in the following link: Ribbon mic mod ? part 1 ? Apex 205 - Hometracked The mod makes a world of difference...

I would say this ^^^^^^ is a definite maybe. You can can spend hours (and I know I've done it) trying to get multiple vocal tracks/takes to "sound" like one consistent part. Definitely more difficult than dealing with a good vocal track that was captured in one pass....just saying ;) Using...

Yeah it's a bit more than your price point but I'd recommend saving a little more (buy better - buy once) and look at something like the Antelope Audio Zen. Has Orion level converters with mic pres (mic/line).

Exactly this ^^^^^ You can definitely get the second two variables in Massive's post but obtaining the first one.... that one's going to take a bit of work ( will likely involve a shovel, fan and some air freshener to start :facepalm:)

I think this is a false premise since reverb doesn't glue anything together in fact it tends to blur things a bit and can quickly get out of hand. That being said, having things sound like they're in the same acoustic space is an entirely different animal. While it is very common as Miroslav...

Checkout Dynaudio. Room treatment is a must irresptive of monitor choice.

When you refer to "high" & "low" notes; are you referring to frequency or volume? If you are trying to effect higher frequency notes differently; one suggestion is using gate in front of whatever processor/effect and an EQ (think high pass filter ) in the side chain to open the gate at the...
