You're going to order the MXL 990 as soon as it's available?! Well, I just checked and it's available at MF, samash and guitarcenter.

Well but which of the three schools of thought on the Pyramid EffeSt is bezt? The Aztec, Maya or Egyptian?? Dark Side of The Moon and Powerslave were Pyramid as well right? ...but if you look at the covers... nevermind...

The Juli@ has no preamp; it has 2 ins that can be either 1/4" or RCA but you will need to preamp the signals that come from any mic; that is, assuming you will mic your bass cab.

isn't too anechoic kind of like too pregnant?! I thought that it either was or it wasn't anechoic... ;)

They're called Gandhi and they're working on their 5th studio album. I was the assistant engineer and guitar tech for the new album. Stevie Salas (www.steviesalas.com) is the producer of the album and parts of it were recorded in Matt Sorum's studio in LA. The music scene in Costa Rica is...

How about the good old sm-57? It's one of the best and most used mics I own!

...by the way, the singer I was tracking is not the owner of the Neumann and UA

Yeah, they're cool toys! Even if the mic and pre are not mine, but from a good friend who's the singer of the biggest rock band in Costa Rica who are going to play tomorrow with Incubus and Smashing Pumpkins (amongst others) in the biggest Rock Festival in Costa Rica... I have his gear in the...

Last week I had AMAZING results with a Neumann KSM-105 through a Universal Audio Solo 610 with an FMR RNC... this worked awesome for a rock vocal similar to Bono (U2). But FWIW, in my experience it always varies from singer to singer.

I'd get the best LDC my budget would allow, hopefully multi pattern... maybe an AKG C414; if that's too expensive then maybe a RODE NT2-A.

A common practice in the spaced pair technique, also called A+B, is the 3:1 ratio in the distance between the microphones and the distance to the source. For example, if you place the microphones at 100 cm from the source, the distance between them should be 33cm (1/3 of the distance).

IF THE ROOM IS GOOD, a U 47 about 2 meters in front of the kit, and at about the height of the snare works just fine.

Google Nyquist-Shannon to understand sampling rate, aliasing, and anti-aliasing filters.

Best way to creat the final product/burn the CD is to burn at 1x. The format the music files should be is 16bit 44.1kHz Wav

Ok, so I'm in the process of finishing up my vocal booth and am planning to make it as dead as I can. I want a completely anechoic environment. Question is, which is the best way to go for treating the room... and which would be the cheapest? My plan was to go out and get pyramidal shaped...

That's a good idea... I'm going to let the hangover kick in and do some homework ... then I'll post an image of my results.

My contribution to this thread is this simple: With all due respect to AMP SIMS and I own a few.... BUT... If you can do the real thing, why not do it? Is it that hard to get a decent amp and an SM 57??

I'm a huge Queen fan and Freddy Mercury is one of my favorite singers up there with Rob Halford and Sebastian Bach (anybody hear his new Angel Down??? or Frameshift2?!); not so much a Wham or George Michael fan, although I believe he's a wonderful singer and an amazing songwriter. To answer a...

These tips might help you prevent this from happening in the future. 1.- Balance your signals. 2.- Have a different electric source for all your audio equipment, independent from the lighting/AC/Beer Fridge/Wii/TV et al. 3.- Make sure that your audio cables don't travel parallel to electric...

If it looks like one giant "square" or rectangle, it will NOT sound good; PERIOD. To illustrate it in terms you might understand, my math behind that is: Rectangle=No Dynamics=No breathing=No life=DEAD MUSIC.
