Your comment is a great example of the importance of CONTEXT on how a piece of equipment is intended to be used. Those who trash a unit like this Harbinger assume that everyone will use the equipment as they might use it: For music that is played with an SPL of 120db playing heavy metal with...

Its interesting to read through totally off-base opinions of people responding to our requests for advice. I'm learning that vague descriptions of what we are seeking will result in equally vague and off-base advice. What is most often lacking is context on how we intend to use the item. For...

Have you had a chance to compare the Harbinger with any of the Behringer PAs like the Eurolive Amazon.com: Behringer EUROLIVE B210D Active 200-Watt 2-Way Pa Speaker System with 10 Woofer And 1.35 Compression Drivercompression Driver: Musical Instruments ? How do you think the smoothness of...

You are right that I don't need to fill a noisy room with sound. The "audience" will be a hand full of attentive folk huddled near (within 20' or so) of the speaker. I agree that buying used is a crap shoot. I'm not comfortable buying used - there are three main reasons used items are on the...

Yes, thanks. That Harbinger is a possibility. I added another thread above about considering whether I need more of a "studio monitor" or a PA speaker. They serve different purposes, primarily "near field" and "far field". The Harbinger seems like a composite of the two. I like the on-board...

I have received a number of great suggestions about specific models to consider in an earlier thread (https://homerecording.com/bbs/equipment-forums/other-equipment-reviews/advice-below-%24200-powered-speaker-356438/). I'm wondering if I should address the broader question of whether I should...

The "cool" factor - like backwards baseball caps and low hanging drawers? Google "Google Images" and view "professional recording studios". One out of a hundred images show a condenser hanging upside down...

This would be used indoors to play back recordings of practice sessions. Recordings will be made on a Tascam DR40 using external condenser mics. The groups being recorded and listening to the playback for rehearsal/practice purposes number between 1 and 6 clarinet players, depending on the...

Comparison: MXL 990 Stereo, AT 2020, AT 2035, and MCA SP1 - the clarinet test Well, I finally locked myself away in a quiet room for three hours with my Tascam DR40 and the above referenced 4 mics (plus the small condensers on my Tascam) to do my clarinet test. Also speaking voice and quiet...

Has anyone had a chance to compare the quality of mics built into this Tascam recorder (Amazon.com: TASCAM DR-40 4-Track Portable Digital Recorder: Musical Instruments) compared to the likes of MXL990, AT2020, or Behringer C-1? Especially for acoustical instruments like brass or woodwind or...

Two MXL 990's cost around $100. One MXL 990 Stereo (2 disphragms in one case) costs $149. Each $50 990 comes with a shock mount. The $149 Stereo 990 does not. And the MXL shock mount that fits costs $35 (Amazon), just $15 less than the entire mono MXL990's mic that comes WITH the shock...

Here is the list I have to narrow down, not in any order. The MXL 67g is in there as one of the favorites. Which ones should be eliminated and why? Which ones are your favorites and why? The "whys" are important. The numbers in parentheses are the number of reviews on Amazon. Behringer C-1...

Thanks! Recording setup? I don't have a clue.

I appreciate your guidance on recording technique and work flow and all that. However, I don't even own a microphone yet. So nothing else matters right now except my selection of microphones. I regret answering Moresounds question about "how are you recording." I was afraid it would take us...

I would use a phantom power supply (as needed) through a 3 band equalizer/mixer to a 32 track keyboard USB'd into my laptop using Audacity and eventually mixing with midi via Anvil or Notation Composer. Recording space is a 1 1/2 car garage. 8' ceiling. With a car in it 1/2 the time. Up to 4...

These are all sub-$80 mics. I would be using it to record clarinet practice with from 1 to 4 clarinet players. Feedback not an issue - using headphones as monitor. Please provide specific reasons for your suggestions.

The manual for my Casio 7500 keyboard says you can only use a dynamic mic in its mic input. The Shure SM57 is a great instrument mic, but I understand it generates a tinnier sound if the instrument is further than a couple of feet from the mic. But a condenser mike is better for picking up...

The Marshall V63M-BP condenser mike has a switch to change from the internal 9 volt battery to an external 48 volt phantom power supply. Can anyone tell me if there is a difference in performance or characteristics of this mike between these two power sources that would make it worthwhile to...

bdbdbuck: I just bought the Kodak flash card reader this morning and hooked it up. You don't have to use the photo software. It works like 5 new drives as viewed from your Windows explorer. Hook it up. Its a snap. It should work just fine for your WAVE files.
