Cool! Thanks for that info. I'll look into it for sure. BTW... with people talking about hurting themselves playing the damn rhodes... I heard/read somewhere that there used to be a popular mod that was done to brighten the output. Maybe that's what we're hearing sometimes and NOT someone...

Nah, not really... there are so many different sounds that are great. It kinda depends on whether it's a chordal/background part, or a more melodic/upfront part. And there are so many cool ways to effect it (like Shailat listed). Sometimes dry is really cool, sometimes super wet is funky as...

Yeah, now that I've been listening to a lot of rhodes stuff, it's apparent that distortion or overdrive is NOT a big part of the sound. Funny huh? Most of the bite is actually just a result of hitting the tines hard. My biggest challenge is going to be getting the note balance better... Some...

Who's the better guitarist: Satriani or Segovia? :rolleyes: Niether one is better. They're both great and they do two different things. Who's the better bass player: Jaco or Paul McCartney? If you think you have an answer to that You're Wrong! Niether one could fill the other's shoes...

cool... I recently bought a fender Blues Jr which the rhodes sounds good through. I don't remember if I've gotten around to miking it that way though. That'll be my first set-up.

Hey, glad that helped! Not a lot of things sweeter to my ears than a great funky-ass disco bass sound!

Excellent! Good to hear it all went real well. X-mas music in the middle of june huh? Hopefully the mental images cooled you down! It's hot down here in CA!

Shailat, Thanks for the info... Now would you say to mic it, go direct, or depends?... I've gotten "good" sounds by going direct into a Neve 1272, TLA EQ1, or ART Tube MP, and then into a compressor; but "Great" sounds have been eluding me. So far, miking it has gotten me less desireable...

Kinda depends on the type of music they're playing. Most likely it's brass chamber music. Generally for classical stuff I wouldn't close mic. I'd try them in a crescent shape and carefully place two mics to pick up in stereo and then maybe two mics out futher for room ambience. If the first...

Chessrock, the Lynx Two looks like a winner. I'd be happy to upgrade to that quality of a card. The 3 different versions are all good ideas but damn-it, I need more than 4 ins an 4 outs! I'd have to buy 2 of them :(

I've had less success miking it so far, but that's probably because there are more variables to work with (and screw up). I actually found one old demo of mine that has a pretty good Rhodes sound... Now if only I can remember how I got it! :( A JC-120 sounds like a good idea. I'll have to...

Anyone have good suggestions on how to get Killer Rhodes sounds? I have an old "seventy-three" and not the suitcase model. For most of my tune demos I plugged into a tube pre, cranked in a little distortion and went straight into the 'puter. Not a bad sound, but not a great one either. Now...

Thanks trpullen, Here's a question I just thought about... Do the line inputs sound better on the new Mackies too, or is it just the mic inputs? I suppose since the line inputs have to go through the same gain stages (or do they?), that they'd benefit from the cleaner pre-amps as well...

Yo Vox, I just noticed your "location". Are you following Mutt cuz he's a great engineer/producer, or cuz his wife's a friggin hottie? ;) Saxman72

Executivos, Fenix, and Moelar2... My bad. Emperors are indeed 2 ply heads. Since Remo makes a snare side emperor (which I think is single ply), I mistakenly interpolated that to mean that their batter emperors are single ply too... Are the snare side emperors 2 ply? That would seem stange...

Dude, Ok, you're right. You didn't say that it's the ONLY way to get that sound, but you really didn't provide a useful or helpful answer either. Of course if you had the same drum, tuned it the same way, miked it the same way (in the same room), and effected it the same way, you could get...

Re: Phase II - the terror continues... No, not really... unless it's REALLY cranked. The spl rating on a mic isn't the pressure it can take before it breaks. It's the pressure it can take before the mic can't capture and recreate the sound anymore. So if you exceed the spl rating, it'll...

If you're doing multiple tracks of guitar and no bass or drums, I'd look for a good full range mic. You'll want to have enough bottom end (although it's easy to get boomy). Mid-diaphragmed condensors like the Rode NT-3 are generally regarded as ideal for acoustic guitars. I wouldn't suggest...

Yeah, a 57 right up in the speaker and a condensor mic a few feet away can give you a real nice sound. There are so many good condensor mics for cheap now. I won't be the one to tell you what to get! Have fun!

Now I would usually mic one specific speaker and not right between them, but shoot, maybe that sounds good too. But you're not happy with the sound so something's gotta change. The mic is not the problem. Jc-120 is great for clean sounds, maybe not so great for "kill" sounds. You say it...
