Good Sax... I just had a sax session over last weekend. I had the sax player in the drum room with some sound blankets up. I placed an MD441 about one and 3/4 feet away from the bell and a half an inch above the upper rim of the bell. I got some REALLY good tones. Of course it was a really...

Darrin, I'm not picking on you but, you should have heard what people said about these units when they were released.:D We wouldn't bring that stuff back for anything. They only became cool after we stopped making them, as usual. One man's garbage is another man's treasure. I have a couple...

Uh, answer? They are the same layout but a different board revision. They may have different tolerance parts and that may account for the difference in sound. Also age and state of calibration of the unit may play into the equation. To be truthful, without having both units right here in...

I'm confused... So, then who started the Joe Meek brand? You or Ted? Tom Cram dbx Senior Technical Support (801) 568-7530 tcram@dbxpro.com "I should have been a plumber." -Albert Einstein-

NERF his ass! I feel your pain. We have a complement of NERF balls/guns/rockets handy in case a marketing guy mentions a desktop or half-rack format. Occassionally one slips by, but we try to keep it to a minimum. :D :D :D

A compressor will compress the entire signal, noise and all. The 866 is a terrible compressor for studio work IMHO. Tom Cram dbx Senior Technical Support (801) 568-7530 tcram@dbxpro.com

My ears are burning. Alan, the thread I started on ProSoundWeb was comparing your Spamming to Radar's Spamming. It only got bad when you jumped in and yet again attacked me personally. I don't want this to turn into another opportunity for you to go off on me again. So I'll just say this: I...

They're cheap, what did you expect...Earthworks for $30? I have two ECM8000's and they are worth every penny of the $50 bucks I paid for both of them. You have to be very aware of your room and where the source is going to be placed in the mix, cause they are noisy. I never use them for...

Jeez Alan! What I'm trying to say is take a freakin' vacation already! :eek:

Merry Christmas? This has got to be the saddest thing I've seen all year. Alan, I know you and I don't see eye to eye but, c'mon, on Christmas day?

...nevermind...

LOL! Ha! I didn't mean for it to be sarcastic. However, re-reading it I can see how such a minimal loss over a long period of time could be seen as ridiculous. :D I was actually being serious, it really does add a new spin to the decision. Tom Cram dbx Senior Technical Support (801)...

Really? Hmmm, really. My lit must be incorrect, I'll dig deeper. Maybe Harvey can weigh in, he most certainly would know. p.s., I just did a search on Google and Guardian is right, the NT5 is NOT an electret, my apologies for any confusion. This would indeed factor into the original...

So, by the same token, are NT5's electret? If the original poster is deciding between two mics that are electret, then it's a moot point. p.s. I just checked, the NT5's are indeed electret. Tom Cram dbx Senior Technical Support (801) 568-7530 tcram@dbxpro.com "I would rather be exposed to...

I guess it would depend on how bad you need a matched pair. If you need to record with the matched pair now, get the NT5's. As far as true matching is concerned, you are right to be skeptical. There are mic companies that will say that you are getting a matched pair, but in reality you are...

1. Bands from Europe who try to be American. Sorry Bono, you can only wear a cowboy hat if you are a cowboy or are having sex with a cowboy. 2. Bands from America who try to be European. Lose the fake British accent Billy Joe. 3. Drummers who set their sticks down while the cymbals are...

O.k., I can't find the white paper so I'm just going to explain it as simply as I can. Since the attack on a dbx unit is exponential (non-linear) its shape (envelope) needs to be expressed as a function of dB and time. For example: dB ^ * ^ ** ^ **** ^ ******* ^...
