    track rat, what are you using for overheads in the recordings you have on nowhereradio.com? I like the sound of the cymbals on them. they sound nice and smooth. Brandon

    Favorite Overheads?

    Anyone use a pair of BLUE dragonfly's on O/H? I have one dragonfly and was reading on rec.audio.pro that a few people consistently use them on overheads. I thought that would be an interesting combination because of the mid scoop inherent to the mic's frequency response. Brandon

    B1's for overheads?

    hrn-thanks for the clip, was that just the O/H's and not any close micing? Does anyone have a sample track where they use some B1's for overheads? Thanks, Brandon

    Rode NTK or?

    I got my NTK and had the same problem. If you sing on an axis to the side of the mic or above, it usually helps tame these problems. Like everyone else said, a de-esser will help, but that mic seems to have a thing with silibance. I have since gotten rid of mine and got a BLUE Dragonfly. The...

    B1's for overheads?

    I have a pair of mxl603's that I've been using for O/H. How would the sound change if I used a pair of large condensers for O/H. I know a lot of people like the akg414, but I don't have money for 2 mics like that right now. Would 2 b1's serve the same purpose? Thanks, Brandon

    WOW Blue Mics are so damn cool looking

    The dragonfly goes for $800. I have one. It is amazing on vocals, specifically mine. It has a definite color that works for some and not others. I have never tried it on acoustic, but I would imagine a small condenser might pick up transients a little better. You might look to go with a...

    Brent Averill 312 or API 3124+

    Michael Jones- I'm glad to hear you've had a good experience with the BA pieces you have. I've only heard a few negative comments about reliability issues with them, but it sounded like they were several years ago. The API I have in mind would have punchy tone needed for drums and bass and...

    Brent Averill 312 or API 3124+

    Has anyone had a chance to directly compare the two of these. I've talked with both api and brent averill regarding the components used in each of their pres. API-new 2520 opamp, richenback input transformer, API output transformer Brent-vintage 2520 opamp, jensen transformers on both end The...

    DI for bass not so great...

    DI can give great results with the right pre and bass. I did some tracks through the RNP. It sounded thick and full, but still clear. It also helps to have a good sounding bass, especially if you're going to DI. We tracked with a jazz bass with emg jazz pickups. Even if you have a crappy...

    Thick Guitar

    I did exactly what gidge said for some acoustic tracks and listening on a big stereo field it tends to surround. It'll make a simple acoustic song with some vox that much bigger. Plus, with the tracks panned hard left and right, it gives a huge place smack in the middle for the vocals to sit...

    any experience with Sytek preamps?

    I have one with the burr browns and I also have an RNP. The burr browns give you a thick tone on channels 3 and 4 if that's what you're looking for. It can do wonders for guitars and some vox. I still like channels 1 and 2 better for drums. I will also add that the RNP will do everything the...

    Getting started with Rack Gear - suggestions?

    I've read the 160xt has the transformer, hence the xT I think the 160xt also added XLRS ins and outs. The 160x just has screw terminals. The boards are a little different i think too. Search for dbx 160* and you will find a post from tom cram, a dbx rep about their history and differences...
