i am in the midst of recording a new rock song. the song carries a fair amount of dynamics with it and frequently shifts between the rimshot and back to a full blown snare hit. I'd like however for both the rimshot and the regular snare hit to be just as clear when they get recorded. I am...

for electric guitars you can use two mics and if i'm going to do this i'll use a dynamic up close and a condensor about three feet back for ambience. you just have to be careful regarding phase issues. I'm not particularly a fan of the sm-57 on guitars but lord knows it's made a boatload of...

man oh man I don't believe I've had any worse experience with an amp than the vox valvetonix. I went though three of the ad120 before giving up. I was impressed with the sound, they did a good job at simulating a number of familar models. The quality control leaves much to be desired. I had...

i think the guy is a master in the studio. sure some of his songs aren't your bag but the guy has put out some good rock-n-roll in an industry dominated by garbage such a britney spears. If you have ever read any interviews regarding his recording skills, the guy has done his homework. MAny...

i have this mic and I like it for the most part. The only issue is that it possesses a midrangy quality that can be a bit harsh at times. i'm a rock n roll guy and I suppose I'm looking for a mic that's a bit more warm sounding. My preamps consist of RNP and a joe meek vc1. Any thoughts on...

audio technica atm25, shure sm57, sm7b, sennheiser md421 these are my favs

it's too funny you're asking that question. i was just introduced to the proper pronunciation myself this week. felt like a friggin amateur as usual....

rich robinson of the black crowes with harry joyce amps and james trussart guitars. there is no one even close

better yet, sve yourself the postage and buy a fulltone fulldrive. you'll never be sorry. It'll put any tube screamer, blues driver, or mass produced pedal in the dirt. As far as Robert Keeley goes, his compressor is the bomb I must say. if you dig fulltone, check out www.fulltone.com I've...

Here's my list. It's short but quality stuff IMHO: blue baby bottle (1) sennheiser 441 (1) sennheiser 421 (1) audio technica atm23he (1) audio technica atm25 (1) ocktava MC012 (2) Shure SM57 Shure sm7b Shure Green Bullet

I use both an RNP, Joe meek VC1, and DMP3 with the bb. All work well. Like I said, if your'e buying it at guitar center, also check out the AT4040 and the KSM32. you still may choose the bb, but for objective and completeness sake.

i own the baby bottle and i like it alot. it's my main lage diaphragm condenser. it has a fair amount of midrange which may help or hurt you although i'm very happy with it. if i were you I'd also look very carefully at the AT4050 or the AT4040 as well as the ksm32. i believe the Audio...

i mentioned this in an earlier thread on fuzz pedals. any of the stuff you buy at guitar center is going to be, at best, average when it comes to fuzz pedals. the reason zach vex who makes the zvex fuzz factory charges so much is because he hand makes them, has them hand painted and they sound...

atm25 is a much different mic than the pro25. i have a friend who works for audio technica in stow, ohio. he insists that the two are very different. the pro is a consumer level mic while the atm is their professional model. i have the atm 25 and could not be happier. Blake

i dont know if you have ever checked out rivera but i've loved my chubster since the day i bought it off ebay. el-84 tubes, hand made.....channel one gives you british while channel two is more american like. i play black crowes like stuff and with my les paul or tele running though it, i'm in...

I have to throw in my two sense since I just went through this whole thing comparing compressors. I had never been a fan of them at all until a friend of mine turned me on to robert keeley's stuff. the keeley compressor is really something you ought to look into. they are not cheap but since...

Led Zep all the way. I don't think anyone can deny Bonzo's Bass DRum ringing though headly grange on "When the Levee Breaks" Besides, anytime that guy hits his snare drum, the room shakes. Other than that, I am a fan of Mike Cameron of Pearl Jam and formerly of Soundgarden. His tone on...

answer a question with a question? Ain't that some Socratic Method you be a-usin?

the whole album was recorded at Headly Grange in England. This was an old mansion that Zep spent their time at just to record the zoso album. Most reports indicate that the song was orignally recorded in front of a fireplace with the two sitting cross-legged in front of each other. The rooms...

dan, I bought the TAMPA after reading your review as a matter of fact. The TAMPA I had eventually worked well from a mechanical standpoint. It functioned just as it was supposed to. However, the pres just didn't grab me like the Meek VC1 or the RNP. They were not bad, just did not suit my...
