I'm not sure I would attribute it all to proximity, Marshall 1" condensers all seem to be a little bass heavy no matter how far away you are. That can actually sound real nice on female background vocals since they usually need a bit more bass anyway. Better too much bass than too little. It's...

Bizarre, I used to have one of the original SansAmp models. It did a great job of heavy distortion (it can really nail that Steve Vai Carvin stack tone) but it seemed to be a one trick pony. I think that's the way it is with all Amp Sims though. Some are better for this and some for that. Now...

Yeah, I had the same feelings about that V57 Chuck. Wonderful on vocals! It's fine for singing but I think where it would really shine is on a radio DJ for just plain talking. A lot of them use Neumans for that and I think this sounds pretty much the same. Real nice and breathy. If you work at...

Revalver is my choice for best sounding of the bunch except it's distortion is noisy. I only have the lite version though and I think the full version has some kind of noise reduction circuitry. I've used it to punch up tracks of other amp sims too and it's real good at that. I tried to record a...

"Phillips makes more glass and cup coasters than any c/d burner on the market!" I like to think of them as poodle fribees!

"What, are they trying to save money by reusing the stencil?" Some people just can't come up with a good name for anything. I mean, who would purposely give their kid a name like Dweezel or Edzel? Strange world....

Hmm, interesting; thanks for putting in all the work with this.

So you "can" buy the V67 without a shockmount. Well I learned something new. I don't know how much you paid for your shockmount but I would guess that the MXL57 shockmount would fit the V67. If they aren't making the V57 mic anymore then maybe Mars will clear out the MXL57 shockmount too. Could...

I don't know if anybody's interested, and you might already know but it was news to me, but I found out from a guy who works in a local computer repair shop (I know that doens't necessarilly mean anything but he seemed to have a lot on the ball) the other day that TDK CDRW's are supposed to be...

Anybody game to putting up, say, 20 or 30 second sample recordings of their best distortion patchs on their respective units? Might make a good thread for people to refer to when these amp simulator questions come up, as they always do now and then. Just a thought.

If you want to take a look at the other thread I started about the V57, I posted a pic of it there and some more info about it. Apparently Marshall isn't going to make em anymore so Mars is selling em cheap, or something like that.

Humm, you know what? I can't find the V57 listed at either Marshall's website or Mars music either one. I guess they quit making that one. That's probably why Mars is selling them so cheap. Grab em while you can. For some reason they still list the mxl-57 shockmount though which was made to fit...

You got a V67 for that price?!!! I take it that's with the shckmount too (I don't think anyone sells the V67 without one.) Man that's incredible. Are you sure you don't mean the V57? They look the same except for the color. The V57 always sells for $99 without a shock mount, except like I said...

No, I got the right one, (I own one myself), it's the V57. Some people say it's the same as this Marshall mic or that one. It kinda depends on who you believe. I think Harvey knows which is which. Anyhow, it looks exactly the same as the V67 and one of the guys I know (but not well) who works at...

Just wanted to mention that I was in Mars yesterday and noticed they have a sale going on right now for Marshall mics. I think it depends on what area you live in as to which model they have on sale but in St. Louis it's the XML V57 (just like the V67 but a different color I think and doesn't...

The XML V57 is a mic Marshall made exclusively for Mars Music. I have one and as near as I can tell it's the exact same as a V67 but a different color and it doesn't come with a shock mount. You'll definetly need a shockmount BTW. They sell one seperately for it called the "something"57 for an...

"I'll add that another possible advantage of 24-bit recording is the smoother decay of instrument and reverb tails." You know, I've heard a lot of people say this too. I haven't had a chance to test plug-ins at 24 bit yet because the band is on hiatis till June and I can't record at 24 bit here...

To the best of my knowledge there are no external drive bays etc that will allow for any more than the standard stereo inputs with an SB. While I disagree with any claims that there are better "sounding" cards than the SB Live or Audigy, I would recommend buying something else if you can afford...

"does not nescessarily make you a man. Neither does going to the gymn." Ah come on, have a heart, at least it'll make me "more" of a man if there's more muscle on me won't it? More of me to love, more of me to fight or maybe just plain more of me. Besides, I promise you'll get more dates with...

Hey I'm not complaining about that forum. I seldom post but go by just to read now and then. And you're right in that there are actually quite a few well known engineers who posts on occassion. What turns me off about all forums though is the "interaction" between questioners and the expereinced...
