The solid state circuit which does most of the amplification in these things is usually relatively quiet. The tube just functions as something to add noise, and if the tube is a real cheapie or if it's gone bad, will be really noisy. You won't hurt anything trying it without the tube. I'm not...

The 003 are pretty expensive, considering they are a mediocre product. You can run protools M-Powered with your Solo box. It's the same thing as PT LE you'd use with the 003.

Oh yes, I'd agree taking a digital keyboard signal in digitally is smart. If you want some decent analog gear cheap, try a JoeMeek 3Q or for more channels an SM Pro Audio PR8. Both are very quiet, especially the JoeMeek. Also, you can go wrong with a used Echo Layla 24 interface. A bunch of...

Like some have alluded to in earlier posts, the SPDIF port was probably included so you could interface with an A/D converter. Except with the more expensive exceptions (API), I'd avoid preamps with built in converters (which any pre with SPDIF out has) and spend the extra money you'd have...

Seemed to me the MXLs were less focused on both kick and snare. At the Prodigy Pro forum, there are threads describing three capacitors that can be changed in the MXLs that greatly improves their clarity. Nice comparison!

Most definitely. My favorite period of pop. What type of snare do you have? A huge factor in the sound of both of these groups was they used similar snares, in most photos of the era, Ludwigs, of the Supra-Phonic (5X14) type. These drums have a very distinct sound, and are featured on many...

Which recordings from the 60's-70's? I can get you close if you can be more specific. There's a big difference in a '65 Who cut and a '71 Al Green record.

I think C9 and C10 are for RF rejection, not a low pass. The size of C8, and the presence or absence of C6 and C7 affect the low end alot.

Want one of the smallest Vox Bass amps they made a few years ago, but discontinued. Thanks, Craig

I've been wanting to try a PK67 and a good transformer in one of those. They don't show up on Ebay often.

Of course, storage is not free either. I fill up 2 or 3 hard drives a year with audio files. And let's be reasonable for PRO audio, while we may record to and edit digitally, we're always going to deal with analog gear in some way. I haven't been in a studio that uses the digital Neumann...

What's funny is you can go sell your SCA on Ebay for more than what you paid for it. For used API, they are close. But, I know I couldn't get the combination I have for anything close to what SCA allowed me to do.

If you don't mind putting stuff together and can solder, read schematics etc., then I'd recommend the SCA stuff. If you build 4 A12's with everything, it will be $7-800 less than the 3124+. I've got one channel of A12, and find it phenomenal on everything an API pre is supposed to sound good...

Based on what's on that PCB by the capsule, I'm not familiar enough with this cicuit to for sure make a recommendation. Maybe one of the big kids will come in and help you out. PhilGood, can you tell which cap couples the capsule with the FET? That would be my biggest recommendation for change.

Passive EQs have a built in cut, around 20dBs (give or take some depending on the model). When you select a boost a frequency, the EQ routes that frequency around the resistors doing that 20dB cut, lessening their effect. Yes, warm is marketing jargon. Transformers, tubes, resistors...

I've got the UAD EQ's. Then I have Pultec type EQ's and have the opportunity to use Neve EQ's. The boost/cut behavior of the UAD stuff is pretty much spot on, but I wouldn't run a mix through the UAD plug left flat in order to enhance the signal. The sound of transformers is especially hard...

Can he only have one?:D My signals some times see five (or more!) before getting to my computer! If you didn't have an gear with transformers, I see what you're saying though. Craig

I don't have any mics using this circuit, but a lot of other guys on here do, so they might be able to point you in the right direction. Is there another PCB, or is that it? I'll look through my schematics and see what I can find. EDIT: I think I might have a similar schemitic, but the...
