whoa ya, watch out about pay pal. if you try to go the cc route they will for sure freeze your account. they suck, apparently

Personally, I doubt that leaving it on will do anything. Its not as though giving a circuit an electrical potential can damage it, unless you have significant current running through it (which I doubt). I'd say that leaving the phantom power on but not exposing the mic to any noise is the...

There you all go! I gave everyone in this thread rep points ;) Now I'm waiting for the reputation to pour in :D:D:D

The advantage is that you get your recording in stereo!

Ah! Thanks a lot, light. Your diagram is exactly what I was looking for. Perfect! Cheers.

So, I understand M-S stereo micing and how to accoplish it with the side, figure-8 mic added to the middle, directional mic in phase in one channel and out of phase in the other. My question is: How does this produce an accurate stereo image? Wouldn't this produce a stereo image that is not...

no, i'm pretty sure that when he says that the recording is out-of-synch temporally, its not due to a phase problem or a cable with reversed polarity.

If the bass only sounds "average", I doubt any preamp will give you the sound that you want. To me, it seems like a good idea to get a new, above-average sounding bass before spending an insane amount on a top-of-the-line preamp. Cheers

Sounds like a bad cable. Phase problems occur when the positioning of mics is such that certain frequencies cancel. It isn't the same as "out of sync".

Hey! The mods deleted my post (I'm pretty sure) about Carol Kaye's claim that she played on many Motown tracks that are credited to James Jamerson. Including "Bernadette"!! I find it really hard to believe that "Bernadette" was played with a pick, and in my opinion the sound is unmistakeably...

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCross Post!

Crosspost Alert! Whooot Whooot! Crosspost Alert!

whoa, lets keep the pedophelia to a minimum! or do you mean that you like them for their superior range of hearing?? :D

Are you serious??? You think that the emotional intensity comes from a digital effect? No, friend! They are a band that is thoroughly in love with their songs!

No kidding! Hasn't anyone ever heard Clapton with Blues Breakers???? That's what I'm talking about here, folks.

I'll have to take your word for that :D And ya, a '59 Les Paul Custom is probably pretty close to the "best" guitar, and a strad is pretty close to the "best" violin, but these are definitional issues. For instance, the strad is considered the best violin, because it is what a violin is...

I found something interesting. On Carol Kaye's site, she claims to have played bass on several old Motown hits that are always credited to James Jamerson, including Bernadette and Can't Hurry Love. BS!!! She is a great bass player, but she didn't play on those songs. This is established by this...

Sealing up the doors may work if you have a gravel road outside, but I doubt it would work most of the time since a large proportion of household dust is dead skin. EWWWWWWW!

Best? C'mon guys, there is no such thing as "best". Harvey Gerst summed it up really nice (in a great thread that I can never find) when he said that asking about the "best" mic is like asking about the "best" guitar. There is none! I'd really like a '59 Les Paul Custom, and it would be really...

hahaha! ya, i saw this doc with them and the dandy warhols, and anton (singer of BJM), seems like he's fucking unhinged! for instance, they had this showcase at a big club in LA with all kinds of major label A&R guys, and anton freaked out at the guitar player, started yelling at him over the...
