i have both and both have roles which i prefer them for. rnc seems to work well for me on most and fills the role of tansparant comp alot of the time but sometimes just seems bland. i often like the darker tone that the vla will once it gets going but sometimes i can get the thing pumping more...

i do already have an ms 16 but ill look at the 24 1" machines. i just really like the sound of 1" at 15ips. i also have a scully machine thats 2" 16 thats sound real good if it feels like working.

2 ms16s ill look that thing up

this is some great advice here. comps take the longest to get used to out of any outboard imo. every come has a differant sound and thus will give you a differant end. some a good for smoothing out dynamic edges, some are good for crushing. the only way to get used to it has been suggested...

so i really like the sound of 1" 16 but want more tracks. what gear would i need to sync 2 decks up. 30 track 1" inch at 15ips would rule.

id say get a tech to to major calibrations ( motor tension, card adjusts, head shit) but buy yourself an mrl and learn to bias and adjust rec playback lvs. this will give you a great insight into whats going on with your deck, will give you the abilty to over bias certain freqs for differant...

i dont think the sounds that this person is looking for should be linked with a shitty sound at all. i asume he wants a grass roots feel to his music and wants a reverb which will fill that aesthetic. many many albums have been made with such a aural feel and sold a ton of units. iron and wine...

you could buy a spring unit for cheap. orban, masteroom. these get the scratchy muddy verb you might be lookin for. you could buy a digital unit like suggested. alesis are ok. for around 125 you can get a yamaha spx90 which has been a studio and live workorse for ever. very easy to use and...

ive used the ntk and liked it for vox, overhead and guitar cab, ive used a baby bottle on vox and liked it ( cleaner but a little more edge than ntk. more presance), never used the at 40 series other than live but it seems very well liked around here. for 600-700 you can sometimes score a 414...

i agree with the eq at mixdown thing. move your mic around if it doesnt sound right, change mics out if they dont have a tone you want. hopefully with experimentation you can get your tones to tape to be just what you want and only have to use minimal eq at all. also i dunno why you would need...

i agree with chess, try aiming the mic from beside the drummers left shoulder about 2 feet across the hat at the rack tom. that does ok for me alot with rock/punk stuff and i use mxl603s also

hh mics always give me grief, i do alot of heavy hitters and hh just turns into a wierd snare mic with a quickness. works good for funk though often. ive never tried a ldc near a hat for the soul purpose of getting the hat alone. seems like youd get alot of rack, snare, and crash with an ldc...

dbx had a big lunchbox thing that could fit 900 series modules in it. i had a couple of the de essers and they were pretty good. these are cool biog lunch box things and the comps gates eqs are all pretty good for em. i retired my rack of em and it just kinda chills out if anyone is interested...

fulltone also makes what looks like an old tube echoplex. big silver box that costs 1g. many older tape echos can be had for around 500$. echoplex, stage echo, space echo, copycat to name a few. non tape analogs can be had for fairly cheap 100-200$. yamaha 1005 1010, multivox echo, there are...

yeah a cheap ldc or ribbon will give you plenty of options of color to add to the speaker 58. i use a nt2 alot, i recently used the ppa ribbon with a 57 on a twin and it was a real nice blend.

i think he prefers to use his dynamics as a cushion bottom mic. blends well with an ldc on top and a royer near the armrest aimed at the back cushions.

for 500 id go with mxl603sx2. sm57sx2. mxl v69. think those push right around that on ebay.

really now, who cares if one mic is cheaper. its all about what you can do with the tools you have. the only reason nowdays i would buy a u47 is A: they are good sounding (but alot of other things these days can hold their own against them) and B: it looks damn nice in a gear list, which is...

so theres a couple kids in the town where i live and when they were 17-18 they sat in their house and recorded a record using an imac and pro-tools. they happened to have a budy in town with a pretty nice set of gear and a nice room to mix in. this buddy would loan them some stuff, help em fix...

ive never used the the isa but the 610 is my fav pre to use now. my friend got one and im constantly borrowing it. ive used a re20, nt2, m269, and an ntk through it on many sources and have had high success with it every time. its very warm and the eqs a very nice on it. you will not be...
