Voicemaster Pro
"Kudos" to sajs for selling me a Voicemaster Pro. He provided me with excellent shipping across the continent, letting me select what kind of FedEx shipping I wanted. I needed a 2-day to get it quick to take it with me on vacation over the Columbus Day weekend. He sent the...
This is what I hear: "Just buy a Meek." :cool:
Yeh, so I bought the JM27's. Those were some hard-edged opinions with no substance. I ought to try a pair. And for that price, I could afford to buy two pairs. Aesthetically I like the Joe stereo set better than the MXL's. Not to rip on...
Ok first of all, those MXL 603 sticks look like junk.
Now I've looked at the specs on some of these. For the price, jerfo, you're right on about the Oktava's. The frequency range looks a bit shaky depending on placement, but overall the '012's far surpass the competition. The Oktava omni and...

Check out that link. Eh, it doesn't seem to be short-cutting to the right place on the page, but if you look under "Microphone Purchasing" there's a link header for What should I buy for a harp? Follow that.
Joe Meek
) Joemeek JM27 PAC Microphones. They come with a stereo bar, shockmounts, windscreens, and a plastic case. And they're a really good deal (179.00) --

This Joe Meek pair is extremely low end in price, but the pack has all the...
) Peluso Stereo CEMC6 Kit. There are some reasonably priced cardioid condensers by Peluso. A stereo matched pair kit includes everything: shockmounts, hardmounts, flight case, kitchen sink, and additional capsules ($769.60) --

The "fully loaded"...
Cool. That was my original thought. Small diaphragm = better. That's why the list of small's at first. But the guy at GC now just tried to sell me a 57, and I got confused.

True. Cheap condensers are a real plus on drums. But 50 bucks there means another 50 less that I'll have right now to spend on some matched stereo mics.
) matched NT1A pair for $499. They're touted as the "world's quietest microphones." I could easily use those for vocals and...
Thanks RD! I'll run a search right now for that NTK comparison. And I'll hit up GC today, see if I can audition any of these.
Adding to that matched pair list...
) AKG C 3000B TWIN PACK. Large diaphragm condensers, ruggedly constructed, with 2 switches: an adjustable "preattenuation"...
Thanks for the reply! I've heard good things about Oktava's. Do you own any?
) Oktava MK012 / MK012A / MK012-MSP pair. Small diaphragm microphones with interchangeable capsules for a versatile mic pair -- 3 polarities (cardioid, hypercardioid, and omni) to fit any range of needs. ($376 for...
I know... this is another comparison thread. Sorry, but I've been researching cardioid pattern condensers and I couldn't find another thread on this type of mic set. Here's a list of possibilities that I've found. Anyone know how these sound vs. quality for price paid? I don't want to spend...
Dude, just try the Hush pedal before you dis it.
Ok, first of all, this isn't an arsenal issue. In terms of open-air noise from a base microphone the clarity the Hush creates is amazing. It isn't exactly "crystal" because it's a colored vintage mic. But the sound is suddenly clean, crisp...
I know. Actually, from my experience, that's the reason compression didn't work very well for me at noise reduction. The DBX compressor essentially would mute both noise and tone at the extreme ends of the audio spectrum, then turning the volume up would bring back the noise (kind of half...
Rocktron Hush
I know this response is a little late. I just ran a search on Rocktron here to see what other people might have had to say about this little pedal.
I bought a Rocktron Hush pedal because it only costs around $49 when I had the same problem. Mainly I wanted to eliminate some hum...
