Well, I have messed around with them a bit...not sure I'm micing them right yet, but i will post samples again when I can get my silly card reader program to work right. My recorder records to smartdisc. I tried to convert to a wav file...a 3 minute file that was taking hours to convert...

In a word: jealousy. I have an old steinway, but I want yours instead.

What's weird is that RODE doesn't advertise that they have cables for sale. I shot them an email too.

I've talked to Alan, and he says to ship it out, because I'm also having problems with the power supply. So, looks like I'm going to the post office.

I got some new mics in the mail, from naiant studios, called the MSH-1 and they were like $25 apiece plus shipping (which is very reasonable). I believe one of our members makes them. I can't wait to try them as I liked the piano sample I heard. I'll try to brighten it up a bit. I just want...

My naiant mikes came yesterday. Talk about fast service!

No, I want to keep it. But, the Rode cable did NOT work with the SP mic. So, I emailed rode and told them I needed a new cable. Just waiting for an answer. I don't really need one of the rodes, but I better have a backup! It pisses me off that I can't use the cables interchangeably...

Yeah, ok. I'll get right on that.

I've been using the dmp-3 mostly, but that recording could have been from the mixer.

My preamps: MAudio DMP3 RNP Studio Projects old peavey mixer with 10 channels. My piano is an old (very old) steinway upright grand. Danny, I'm hoping to go from lo-fi to hi-fi, lol. I don't know that I can with this zoom mrs-8. It only records at 16 bit, and has a little of its own...

Yeah, $25 apiece seems too good to be true. He recommends them for piano, though. I'll keep messing, but now I have to wait for my new mic cable (7-pin) and shockmount...so I can use both SP mics. Geez. I also ordered some desktop stands as they can be used on the strings underneath. Hope...

I think it was the T3 cable that went kaputz. I remember the blue on the connectors, so with the new cable made for these mics, I should be good to go.

I'm afraid to get shocked again! The mic I have is a T3. I'm not sure which cable burned out. I'll try plugging the other one into the NTK, and see what happens. I'm a scared!

And no, I'd rather not have to use a software noise reducer.

Yeah, probably a combo of my cheapo Peavy mixer--I can't imagine the bugger has good mic preamps, and the mrs-8. I plugged them into the dmp-3 instead. I have an RNP too, but I left it at my other studio place. I can't hear the buzz and hiss though. I bet listening through my monitors would...

ausrock, you hit the nail on the head. The mic cable was falling apart, and as I was trying to get it right, I touched the mic and got shocked. Not sure why the two previous times were. I have a Studio Projects mic, which, I THINK is the one that went bad, and the NTK. I could not find one...

That's what you did wrong, haha. I NEVER use ebay.

do all 7-pin microphone cables work on say both a rode and a studio projects? The only one I could find was the studio projects cable. The old one fell apart and shocked the hell outta me 3 times dammit. :mad:

Thanks Bushmaster...it cleared some stuff up for me. But I had trauma while recording, which can be read about in the mixing clinic thread. Anyone know if one 7 pin mic cable will work with any mic? I'm finding that rode doesn't sell them, but sp does...and actually it's the only one I've...

Thanks bushmaster, it did help. Unfortunately, during this, I've had one shockmount fall apart, so there's one mic out. Then the mic cord on the NTK shocked the hell out of me then fell apart. I know, I should turn my shit off. Then I realized somehow I had the NTK plugged into the SP box...
