    Best Mixer brand?

    Behringer bought Midas a few years ago. Their current mixer line (I don't know which ones) are reported to be way good because they are Midas designed. Build quality is a whole other issue though.

    Any users of Lexicon MX200 out there? rack gone rogue and awol.

    I will bet it has a battery that has gone dead. I think I have the same unit in my rack I have not used in years. I guess I will find out if it still works sooner or later.

    Avoiding noise when recording on a condenser microphone

    I have never had this problem and never thought about it much. I was taught to understand the mic's pickup pattern and place the mic so that it rejects any noise sources. I guess I have done this so long I do it as second nature.

    I generally use microphones to mic the drums. Direct line to console seems to not work for me.

    Is it easy to tell which mic will sound good on a particular source ?

    If the mic looks "fashionable" with the sound source, it will probably work great. This changes with the times, however. The 70-80s was the U87 era. God knows what today's fashion is with Lady Ga-Ga and all.

    Should I grab a Pioneer DAT D1000 sold on ebbay?

    ANY used DAT will cease to work 1 minute out of the box. This is assuming it ever worked at all.

    What is at the core of your home studio?

    I wonder what the core of Apple Studios is? Can it rot? The core of my studio is a MCI 2424 2" recorder and a RADAR 24 track HD recorder along with my Allen & Heath console.

    Need Help Coaching Good Singer with Horrible Recording Technique!!!

    Classic case of talent that blames everything/everyone for his/her mistakes. Bottom line: You probably are wasting your time here. This person will be unworkable with any team environment.

    Analog or Digital and why?

    "So its not only about digital vs analog anymore, but digital vs digital. That is, its about finding that point where digital peaked before it started going down hill, and IMO that point was roughly 10 years ago. Yep, “vintage digital” for lack of a better term. But it’s not only equipment build...

    Analog or Digital and why?

    I have a MCI 2424 2" analog deck and a IZ RADAR digital recorder. In the end, nobody has ever been able to distunguise which is which when I compile recordings on a CD. It is only when people keep yapping that the brain starts to imagine all kinds of differences. Now there IS a major difference...

    Balanced vs Unbalanced

    Minor correction: "...Then, in the balancing/unbalancing circuitry, one leg is phase inverted, causing any COMMON MODE noise that's been induced in the cable run to cancel itself out....."

    What exactly is wrong with Behringer brand mixers?

    Years ago I recorded one of my best albums ever (stands to this day!) on a Behringer MX8000. I have no idea if their mixers have gotten worse or not, but the one time I used one it was not bad at all. Whatever works. Forget what people say. If it works for you why bother to change?

    The only mic that works with that pre-amp is a Neuman U 87.

    So, what are you working on?

    I switched to IZ RADAR and bought a bunch of Kurzweil and Roland sound modules. I also replaced my guitars with a Gibson J-45 Deluxe (1978) and a Martin D28-12 string (1973). Bought a bunch of mics (Senn 441, EV RE20 standing out). Bought some extra Lexicon PCM 60,70,80s for chuckles.

    AT2035 recording vocal problem

    Is the mic cable wired correctly? Are your speakers wired out of phase? Play a reference track to hear if your system can reproduce the bass you are looking for first.

    Best condenser mic for vocals in the 300-600$ price range

    If there were a best vocal mic, studios would not have a mic locker. For every singer out there a studio would probably try at least 5 - 6 different mics to find out which is best. There is no answer for you until you try out the mics on yourself. They may all work or none will work. If you...

    Re: Which Microphone? ...or how much difference does it reallymake?

    Love these types of shootouts. Of coarse, history proves them wrong. I have been recording for 35 years and have had tons of mics over this time. If any of these shootouts were true, I would own 2 - 3 mics and be done with it. Mics make a huge difference BUT only if you know what you are...
