I'd rethink those c100's if I were you. I've found some uses for mine (toms. trumpet section) but they sound very harsh on overheads. Probably because they are harsh. Maybe get one of those cheap behringer omnis if you have a good room. Or else a couple of MXL 603's if you have dark cymbals, or...

So here's what happened. I installed a second hard drive for a friend of mine, he's on cubase and needed it for extra space and to reduce dropouts when recording etc. All went well, fomatted the new drive and copied his audio files from one disk to another. Everything was in two folders. Songs...

Just got the Thinline today. I have been playing it through my Twin. In my opinion this guitar sounds better than my 1992 USA Strat, and my 1972 Tele Deluxe (not a reissue). The neck plays like butter, the low end is round and punchy, the pickup selector switch gives a lovely variety of tone...

You don't need to win the lotto to do a better job than that. Having said that, it sounds better than my first recordings. You can go along way further good mic placement, and some more eq and compression knowledge. The drum tracking here especially could use more work. Good heartfelt vox and...

Have one ordered from my local store. Will give you the lowdown when it arrives. Cheers, Nathan

Buy a 57 second-hand. There's millions around. You need a new soundcard. You sound like you are using an onboard card or a soundblaster clone. The 'mic in' input has a preamp in it, albeit a shit one. The 57 does not come with a stand !!!!!!! K+M stands are good. There's no point in getting a...

A mixer has a preamp on very channel, along with eq, insert points, auxillary sends/returns, different routing options etc. A cheap mixer is very useful if: 1: You need a number of preamps to record multiple sources simulteaneously, e.g. a drum kit. 2: You want to insert an outboard device...

Nope. I have a 2408 mkII. I plan to use a Cranesing Spider to track with, and a Benchmark DAC to monitor with, and I dig the digital I/O and expansion options. Then again I have not had occasion to evaluate their tech support, it has played very nice with my systems(AMD Duron 1Ghz, and now...

What's your budget ? What type of music are you recording ? How many tracks to you need to record simultaneously ? Nathan

Sidechain compression Using the kick (or the frequencies of the kick you want to bring out) as the source to side-chain compress loud guitars slightly (4db maybe), or guitars and bass, or everthing except vocals.

What he said.

One man's 'clarity' is another mans 'harsh' I guess. I would agree that the 58 is not the best live vocal mic in the world, but I think the evolution ranges only value is to cut through when using sound systems with substandard horns. The 58 needs very little subtractive eq to sit nicely in a...

The nasty freq. response peaks in the high end for one thing.

Feedbacky horrible lumps off shite. There's a reason the 58 is still around.

Ah. 1402. Carry on. Nothing to see here. Nathan

I always thought of the 1604 as a 4-bus, I suppose you could call it two stereo busses though. Doesn't the amount of individual tracks depend also on the amount of direct out's also ? The Mackie has eight. Along with 2 stereo (or four mono) busses that's more than most people here need...

There's a guy selling a reissue thinline that looks great. The only catch is he won't post it, he wants it to be collected. At the moment it's between that and a nashville tele (with the strat tex-mex pickup) Have you played the Nashville ?

Lot's of different types. Country tones do play a part although It's not a style I really play (if you know what I mean). I need something with with a fixed bridge, doesn't need to have hugely hot pickups, I like maple necks, and a nice natural sustain. There aren't many options locally to try...

Anyone played one ? Got any opinions on this vs. a thinline/72' Custom/Nashvile Deluxe ? I have to get a second guitar quick to complement my Strat and there are a few of these on eBay.co.uk Cheers, Nathan

The Oktava's I reckon.
