There is more than just one good bass tone for sure... but I have never met a bass track where a Fender Jazz or Precision bass, preferably with flatwound strings wasn't the ticket. From "folk" to "jazz" to "country" to "death metal" and "industrial" [if a bass is used at all] the Fender P or J...

Only if you want to check the calibration. "Tiny screws" denote a fixed calibration on the line input so you don't have to constantly adjust the unit's input. The idea is that once you have calibrated the unit to take a uniform +4 input you're done with the calibration process [check it every...

Are you sure? I would think the composer would have a differential output instead of a transformer balanced output which would mean that Behringer either put blocking capacitors in the signal path [which would fuck with the sound of the unit] or you will be able to pop the chip that drives the...

This really isn't all that surprising... the NT-5 isn't that good a sounding microhphone, I can understand a dynamic, even an A-T dynamic, kicking it's ass. The positioning is indeed an important factor, but at the end of the day the important thing is that you were able to achieve a tone you...

IMNTLBFHO... you'll be better off with the Mini-ME

That wouldn't make it "harder" it would make it "impossible". .1db is audible... and the loudest product wins [hence why we have all this crap that is overly bright... because "bright" is considered "loud" which is often thought of as "good"]. I'm not saying these things are "rigged", just...

You won't blow it up even if you do jam it into the grill and crank the amp to 12... if you discover some clipping from the mic's internal amplifier engage the mic's internal pad... other than that you should be fine.

Absolutely... unfortunately, a tad out of the budget window but absolutely stunning none the less... in that range of budget it seems to me that the "Brick" would be your best bet... if you decide to go the M-Audio route buy it used off of eBay or something... let someone else take the financial...

They're full boards [some of them... some are only half populated as they were used in 1271 type circuits] that need to be recapped, some of them need new output transistors... there are various issues [none of them labeled] but it should still be easier than starting from scratch.

The one you need at the moment you need it...

If you want, I have a bunch of B283 boards that need rebuilding... $25 + postage and as many as you'd like are yours. The bitch of the thing isn't going to be the boards, it's going to be the input and output transformers [which are vital to "the sound"]... you can play with other transformers...

It's called "crosstalk" and is probably caused by a shitty ground plane in your studio or a shitty ground within the desk.

Take the submaster outputs of the console [run the system in stereo] and add a pair of "room mics"... balance the sections later. So you'll end up with drums on two tracks, instruments on two tracks, vocals on two tracks with two tracks of "room"... the only bitch of the beast might be getting...

Before you empty the whole room I'd recommend breaking down the dining room table and trying it that way... if it sounds good then you'll have to deal with the bullshit from the women in your life but you'll have a direction [and a reason to pay for ____ to get them the hell out of the house].

The intention was for them to sound different... which will sound "better" to you will depend on your sense of aesthetic... I'm pretty sure you can tell which one I'd prefer. Also... you do have the impedance choices on the ME-1NV as well as the 'transformer loading' option as well as an insert...

My buddy Jason Corsaro did that record... it was done in the "A" room of Power Station [currently known as Avatar]. While there were some samples added to the original drums, there was also a bunch of gated, them compressed room sounds that were unique to that room along with some AMS RMX-16...

IMNTLBFHO it doesn't sound as good as the Chandler stuff... but YMMV

Sorry it took so long to get around here again... my bad. JKestle's point is totally valid when recording 16 bit... but I didn't think anyone recorded 16 bit any more... The resolution of 24 bit recording is so far superior to the resolution of 16 bit recording that you don't have to run...

Damn... who let the cat out of the bag... the new M-E version of the "MP" will require you to sign a release saying that you will wear lead lined protection anytime you're near the unit and that neither M-E nor the manufacturer will be held liable for any birth defects or deformaties caused by...

Single channel the Groove Tubes "Brick"... dual channel the FMR "RNP"... as always... YMMV.
