yea id say if you can try getting a few mics (borrow, rent) off this list and next time you do a show try em out. ask the FOH what mic he hears sounding the best on yur mic. unless you get a dick of a foh they shouldnt have any probs doing this for you. i always get this one act and my club and...

at my work i use those b58s everyday and im pretty damn sick of em. they are alot hotter than the regular 58 but imo are very brittle and harsh at 3.5k and 5k. i brought a regular 58 to work just because i was sick of fighting the harshness of the other ones. regular 58s just seem so much...

snare, 57, beyer m500 oh. sm81, mxl 603s, shure beta green 4.0, rode ntk, nt2, got to use an m260 once and wish i could always use it akg 451 kick. d112, b52, re20 toms, 57s, ev 603s i think, room a crapp peavey omni, nt2 in omni. mostly i use oh placement to get most tones and add close...

i use an sm81 at work often on acoustin inst. combined witha pickup it sounds ok and i dont have a whole lot of feedback probs. if im having to use it alone to mic a quite player i run into issues sometimes. id say not a ribbon because you need pretty clean pre with alot of gain to get enough...

i work in a fairly upscale live venue and alot of times we get tech riders that while stating band FOH needs they also stat NO peavey mains or monitor wedges for their act. pretty funny, ive seen it alot. personally id take a vmp-2 before any other pre made by a diff company on that list. art...

i dont know wether or not if using an insert is good or bad but i used to use the inserts on a ramsa as an out until i leaned about the direct out. i switch to direct out and it did sound a bit better i thought. could have just been me not knowing much and learning. id say try both and see.

i recently had a session and a neumann m269 was rented for the session. it was an amazing mic which the v69 and ntk dont come close to. they are good mics and cost about 1/10th of the 269 and can sit well in a studio. if you really want a vintage quality tube mic id say save your cash for a...

get a little mixer. youll learn alot from it and it will give you many options later on. if your just going to do a stereo recording there are a ton of 2 track reel reels out there you could buy and the 1/4" tape is cheap. then if you decide to start multi tracking you could always use the 2...

mabye a couple pg57s? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=41465&item=7332232665&rd=1 found these 57 clones. might suck. id save a tiny more and just get 2 more 57s. dont think ive really come across sub 100$ dynamics that are as solid and usefull as them. seems like you...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=23790&item=7332904453&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW seems like a good deal considering the street price of pre alone is around 500$. a couple reivews of the 603s ive seen have been bad but mostly people say they are solid, quality mics. ive used em...

ive used ntk with really good results. sounded good through tascam m3700 pres, art gold pres, and real damn good through ua 610. people around here are fans of mxl v69 and v77s. i used a 69 on a loud guitar cab a while back and remember liking it.

my choices would be. 1176, then a 160x then a symetrix for bass. i rarely have a 1176 so i usually use the 160 with good results. ill use a symetrix if i really wanna slam a bass.

give me 2k and id buy a 1176 and distressor. i use my rncs alot but damn the cant hold a candle to either of those comps. id set em up on buss sidechains and run about everything through em just for color. rnc is damn nice though. best bang for buck comp out there hands down.

youl be fine i go from a pre to it alot via a bay. doesnt seem to run it hot. only time ive had a prob doin this was tryin to go unbalanced into a 1176 and it just wouldnt push it.

clips arent to bad in my experiences used aclaw thing for awhile with no probs. use a set of beta 98s live all the time and the only time if had probs with a rattle it was on a conga. try it, if it sounds like crap put it on a stand. u can use the clips and attach them to other things than...

i tend to use onis in a room to accent the tones of the room. works good as overheads if you can content bleed from other sources, acoustics, voxi n conjunction with aanother more direct source mic. figure 8 is a very fun and creative pattern to work with. works good as a single overhead, amp...

im real curious as to why to original poster is so interested in the old cans anyways. seems that even with the recent surge in vintage style gear one of the last things you would really want is an old pair of headphones.

i hope someone out there has used this thing and will reply here. ive been looking at thes mic alot recently.

having primarily been a tape machine user for the last 5 years i do have to say the the tones coming back from the pcs are starting to get better and better. id say that if i had to do some techno or hip hop i wouldnt hesitate from going pc but on the other hand if im doin a rock band i think id...

i just mixed tracked and mixed a couple projects through them and i say they are a good set of speakers for the price. pretty nice sounding but woofy at 400 and not to detailed over 10k. bout in the same ballpark as the event tr8s i used to have. alot better than the alesis monitor ones which...
