I'm not sure, that's why I'm asking. I heard somebody talking about the Universal amp limiter yesterday. Got me curious. The gist I get is you put it between preamp and recorder and it helps give you a fat sound without clipping. I'm thinking someone here must be in the know. Anybody....??

Hey Fenix- Don't beat around the bush, just say what you feel. ;)

What's the skinny on amp limiters? Are they like compressors? How do they differ? Are they good to have?

I must be sick. I find it relaxing. I just love the sound of new strings. Also, it reduces the chance of braking one on a gig, so I change often. Hate breaking a string on a gig! Remember - the more often you change, the quicker you get at it. Then it'll suck less.

For what it's worth..... Recording magazine has a review on the KSM27 in the April 2002 issue. The review's final sentence is, "At this price point, nothing we know of touches it."

OK, you guys gave me alot of stuff to try and think about. Thank you all! I see there are no real absolutes and others have questions on the subject, too. I will be referring back to this discussion for some time. I also need to read more in general on compression. Never heard of RNC before...

After recording vocals with some compression I notced that they weren't quite as clear as when they were recorded without compression. I was trying to keep them from clipping during the louder parts. Is this common? Suggestions for compression settings? Record at lower volumes and screw...

Thank you, Track Rat. And about how much money for these mikes?

Just read the latest replys - great input! Thanks again! Big apologies to you Taylor loyalists. I guess I'm just a big fan of the traditional rosewood back and sides on flattops. I found that cutting some of the hi mids helped, BTW. PS- I'm a big Martin fan and some of their guitars make...

Thanks for all your input. I believe that will help. It kills me when companies like Taylor use exotic looking woods that sound like crap.

Any suggestions for a mike to use on a harsh sounding Taylor. It's a guitar that has pretty, though bad sounding hardwood for back and sides. Also, ideas on what mike to use on electric guitar with clean but edgy country type sound. Suggestions on other equipment or techniques are also...
