Hmph. The problem I suppose then is that my voice is very bassy... but I prefer to exploit its higher end which is rather airy, but some mics really pick out an awful crack in it which sounds like I've just eaten razor blades and washed it down with a helping of granite. There is never a simple...

I'll check out the CAD M179, I've heard good things about it... now that the dust has settled, how does it compare with the ADK? As for the SP B1... it completely shredded my voice whenever I used it, not a bad mic but really not suited to me.

I know, I know... no mic can ever be good at lots of things. And I know that I'm talking about something in the lower-end. And ultimately my mixes will end up sounding crap. That aside... I've just bought myself a MOTU Ultralite, and today had the opportunity to test it out with a Rode NT5 (in...

Howdy! Basically, I'm interested in getting Cubase, as I've just got a new Mac and need some software (it'll also make quite a difference from the rather primitive Cakewalk Pro Audio 9 I was using before!)... Firstly, it's a MacBook laptop, and I was wondering if Cubase will run? All the...

OK Cool - I'll give it a miss then :D I'll try and explain what I'm trying to accomplish... I have a lovely new jazz guitar (well, in my opinion)... a real hollowbody. When I'm sat playing it the tone is beautiful, because I get a nice mix of the acoustic sound and the warmth of the electrics...

No unfortunately two regular jack inputs on the amp. I suppose the fact of the matter is that I don't have an XLR to jack cable. I'd be using a dynamic mic, so no need for the phantom power... if all the settings were down on the external mic preamp (so really all it's being used for is to...

Just wondering, are there any dangers in connecting the Line Out of a preamp (VTB-1 in this case) into the input of a standard guitar amp? I don't want to wreck the equipment :D Sorry if it's a stupid question... Apologies, and thanks for your time

Was just browsing through the site lbanks mentioned - anyone else notice the rather freudian spelling mistake on the Dorian page? http://home.swipnet.se/freakguitar/dorian.html

Cool - thanks. Where are you based? (Where did they have to send it to?) Thanks :D

Hi, I'm sorry to post this, hopefully the thread won't hang around for long. I'm looking to buy a new guitar, but the prices are much cheaper if ordering from www.thomann.de as opposed to buying in the UK (where I live). In some ways I feel slightly anxious about the prospect of ordering from...

Thanks for all the help people! I'm sorry to be brief, I can't stay to post a long reply, but I shall do so later. Incidently, if anyone has recorded or has a clip of their guitar sound, feel free to post it :D Thanks for everything up to now :)

Right, firstly, I am a pianist, so please forgive my complete lack of knowledge and ignorance, cmon - you're guitarists, you should be used to people trying to play your instrument without any knowledge! :D I've been playing guitar for a couple of years now, just really picking up my brothers...

Wow, thanks for the extensive reply! :) Firstly, unfortunately at the moment I only have Cakewalk Pro Audio 8, but I hope (fingers crossed) that shouldn't make too much difference at this stage. I think your first instinct is a good one! I should have put in my first post that something linked...

You'd have thought after 1000 posts I might have learnt something.... Nah! I'm wondering if there is a practical way of me using samples (for instance drum samples) within multitracking software (Cakewalk). I've been used to literally pasting every kick drum beat, every snare hit, every hi-hat...

Got the M201 on Thursday (used Dolphinmusic in the end, who gave very prompt next-day delivery). Didn't take long to get going with it, had 12 drum tracks to do in the last two days! Put it up on the snare, pointing across the skin for the tracks using brushes, giving a lovely detailed and soft...

I kind of like this thread where it is... though I may be the only one! Would be interesting to see some of the more experienced members see what they think

No, the C4's have been good when I've used them for acoustic guitar, and piano (just finished recording some), but are really not suited to vocals. As always, there may be SOMEBODY out there who would sound good through one but in general they would sound pretty bad! Do you know what your new...

Chess scares me! (no really) :D Anyway, I listened to your clip "Sunshine Lady". Sounds pretty good to me, although I'm not exactly listening on monitors. Impressive considering there wasn't a vocal mic (if I'm correct). Whether or not it would be better with better mics, I don't know. I'm not...

OK Computer - Radiohead XO - Elliott Smith Kind of Blue - Miles Davis Not necessarily the "best" sounding, but I like the way they sound, the style of the sound.

Simultaneously made me feel warm inside and very odd inside! Haha, no, I'm looking forward to it, but I need something to do in the days before I get it, and hearing about it's good points and (bad) points is a nice filler :D Thanks for the encouragement Nik, I'll let you know how it goes when...
