Oh forgot the details. Advocating the ATs :) Vocals - AT 4040 GTR - AT ATM33a

I finally received my new AT 4040 and had to put it to use right away. I liked it alot and sounds smoother than the Behringer B2 Pro Studio, luckily the B2 was just a loaner. Here's a link with a sample of the jam...

I'm no guru, but been in around audio for more than 10 yrs now and I hate to say it, aside from spending huge bucks. I really like the alesis reverbs. the digitechs always sounded thin and unmusical. I'm sure lexicons and tc electronics will probably be better but now your talking 1k and above...

Reason I wanted to route thru the mixer was to gain the benefits of multiple sends, I have the sends setup to route headphone mix, reverb for headphone mix and would benefit from the line in/out to add the compressor. But I suppose I could re route the signal but the preamp better have separate...

Maybe I'm answering my own question here, but if I run the mic thru the external preamp first, doesn't that mean that the gain powering the mic is from the external pre and therefore the mixer wouldnt add much color?

I'm stilling getting my feet wet recording vocals. I've been trying a few different mics and techniques. I have been using a behringer powered mixer that then goes to my m audio 4in/4out card. Right now I have my mics going thru the mixer, and then to the ins of the audio card. Here's the...

just an update peeps, I really liked the specs and recommendations for the SM7, however I decided not to go the dynamic way for the reasons below. 1. I didn't want to worry about preamp issues. Sounds like the best results from using this mic are when used in conjunction with a decent...

Damn KJ09... i appreciate the reply, you either type real fast or you are really dedicated to answering posts. Neither of which are bad things, so don't take it the wrong way, lots of info to digest. I'm digging the fact alot of people recommend the SM7 and sounds like an awesome choice, but...

Cool I'll look into that preamp if it turns out I need one. My mixer has 60db preamps and phantom power, so I hope it will be ok. It does fine with the SM58 I have now. I don't like the SM58 for recording vocals in the studio, but it works good on my guitar cab. How much difference is there...

Thanks alot for the info antichef and also thanks for the replies. I'll keep researching a little longer, but I really need a dedicated vocal mic. Thanks again all!:)

Guys, Guys, yesterday I thought I wanted a large diaphragm condenser and now I'm leaning towards this infamous SM7. So will my mixer be able to drive it? I'm using a BEHRINGER EUROPOWER PMH3000 powered mixer. Or should I look into adding the price of a entry level mic preamp to the price...

Rode NT1 before SP T3 huh?

Thanks I did. I'm kinda really hoping the Studio Projects T3 has what I need. Do I need an external preamp to get a good sound?

Yes this was recorded with the AT ATM33a, did it in my home studio with Sonar 6. In fact the guitars sound were all done with the same mic. I'm using a Beringer powered mixer then to my m audio 4in 4 out card. The youtube mix sounds muddy compared to my original master at full resolution.

So are you saying the ATM33a is cutting it for now? And yea I listen to stuff with Jack Johnson and I want that nice natural sound. ANy ideas how?

How do I post up clips? Umm, there is a youtube upload we did last week to show a few friends. You can goto youtube and look up "such a nice ride" by R & G Music. Thats close to the style and singer I'm recording with right now.

Oh and on a side note, my friend wants to use his M Audio Producer USB mic if we dont make a purchase soon. I havent used it, but I have a feeling the ATM33a is probably better.

Hello Everyone, My first post here..... I've been reading and searching the threads today. Now I know it's been asked more than once, but it's hard to make a decision with so many choices on mics. I'm in the market for a home studio mic mainly for male vocals, genres mostly pop and reggae...
