It is comparing so well with high end super expensive so much microphones that the difference barely isn't even noticable! This is so true!

are you guys talking about software automation or automation on a console? Digital mixer or analog console? During tracking or mixing? Does the material have long sustained parts or does it contain lots of transients? The answer is not simple young padewons.

I think it's the most awesome mic every made. It's phenomenal! Especially because if I don't tell you it's phenomal my rep points will go down. Get an audio buddy to go with it, they are amazing!

the beauty of eveybody buying control surfaces is that the price of kick ass analog consoles keeps plummeting! Keep buying 'em suckers!

I use ribbon mics for overheads somewhat frequently. 4038's sometimes and more often royers. The key is having a good sounding room. You can put the blumlein micing technique to work since they have a figure 8 pick-up pattern. I'm lucky to have a huge room filled with nice sounding wood...

nope. '57 sucks on trumpet, 421 pretty lame too but somewhat more acceptable than a '57. Get an re-20 used on ebay for $350. Sheeesh . . . .

Hi bitches, thanks for the negative rep points on this one! There is some hidden wisdom in my extremely hilarious comment earlier. I know our population now functions at an average reading level of an 8th grader so it must be extremely difficult for most average adults to surmise the literary...

bullshit, if you are a good musician you don't need these things. Learn how to play then the studio isn't lie. I record full bands live to tape all the time without overdubs.

hi bitches! I modded a turd I took this morning and funny, it still smelled like a turd!

music is a sad state of affairs. If you can't set up your whole band in the studio and get a great sounding recording after a take or two with the whole band playing together live you suck. I wish a law was passed that all recordings had to be done like jazz recordings in the 40's. A couple...

Ribbons are ok to use live. Definitely shock mount them (they tend to have a bump in the lower frequencies and are subject to rumble, etc.) They are more dynamic than condenser-like (well they actually are dynamic mics) in their "sensitivity" i.e. you don't have to worry about the backside of...

Hello bitches, I think one of the best bang for the buck newer mics is the Microtech-Gefell UMT70s or UMT71s. I recently bought two of the suckers I like 'em so much. A little out of your price range but definitely worth the little extra. I definitely prefer this in lots of applications to...

I just finished washing my pink microphone in the shower.

here's my take: Yep johnny joe meek and sally samson will realize year after year that their skill and equipment are lacking and will upgrade and improve over time. (notice I emphasize skill here which is the more salient issue) They will upgrade and upgrade year after year and hone their...

sounds like bullshit to me!

drums and phasing can be quite an issue. XY at least helps reduce phasing as far as the overheads are concerned but of course combined with the other mics problems ensue. First off get your drums as far away from the walls as you can. Get the overheads as far away from the ceiling as you can...

ovation blows. If you want to record a bright guitar sound then get a guitar with the bright sound you are after. The rest is easier after that. hugs to you, sweetnubs

massive master is right. Sound isolation which you are after is expensive. You need mass and airtight seals (obviously the animal). That's really the long and short of it. Mass=sheetrock=$$$. Airtight sheetrock. Now you wonder why studios charge so much? We can easy spend as much if not...
