why not the baby bottle. i used it and loved it ( never used t bird or ntk though) and the things won some awards i think. seems like that was the last good blue mic b4 the ball downward spiral and now im leary of their new stuff. go with the baby bottle!

really depends on singer. i use an nt2 alot with good results on female or soft spoken male. i tend to do alot of loud singers so i fall back to dynamics alot to try and tame the airy harshness a screamer can have. re20, 57, ot this werid little cb radio looking thing get pretty good takes off...

my blue ball = crappo. i cant find a thing to use it on due to the amazingly thin tone it gives everything. ive used it in a conjunction with a 57 on a loud ass cabinet just to add a bit of thin squawk to the beefy 57. i guess it sounded ok on a toy piano. everything else was pretty lame (kick...

damn i dunno what studios youve been in lately and not seen a space echo hanging out. those things will never go away! why??!! because they kick ass! such an amazing washy echo. all the digital echos these days have settings thet TRY and emulate those things. get a space echo, stage echo...

a reverb wont give you an echo. just a decayng wash of your original signal. you need an echo unit. for around 400$ you can get a space echo. for 1k$ you can ge the fulltone echo. both of these are tape echos. that will give you all the repeat and washy tones you could want. you can get a line...

hmmm, i tend to use that lxp for alot of stuff. yamaha spx stuff is cool and very user friendly. tc electronics makes a cool reverb that my club just got for the FOH and i like it but havnt used one in my studio. you can get either a master room or orban spring reverb for pretty cheap these day...

doing alot of hardcore and metal ive worked out a few ways to do this. if you want hardcore, screamo sound (blood brothers), take a shitty pre that offers a in and out gain control. turn the in all the way up and the out all the way down. this will give you a sharp mettalic clip. if you want a...

hmm just wrote this somewhere else. mabye here. with 2k to spend on a pre and a mic id get a single 610 and a u87 or blue cactus. if i didnt need the mic id spend the 2k on a 610 and either a urei era 1176 ( with the ratio buttons) or a british mod distressor. all of those things are studio...

yeah id say that your think into it too hard also. if your goin balanced into un balanced just start low and watch your meters so you dont clip the -10 with to hot an input. if your goin unbalanced to balanced youll be losing a bit and will have to compansate with output which sucks sometimes...

my favorite pre in the world right now is the ua 610. warm and loud. the 737 is a very, very nice transparant pre but i think thats why there just ok for the cash. alot of other cheaper pres can give you a good clean signal. id go with buying a single 610 and a urei era 1176. that way you get...

not exactly sure what u really mean with crisp, im guessing you mean a sharper more defined top end. if so agree with the boosting of freq over 114k. try recording normal and then jack up the gain on your high freq and sweep through the highs to find a sharp one that kindof jump out at you...

id have to disagree to some extent with people who are saying that a pre doesnt really add "warmth" or color a mics tone as we are lead to beleive. differant pres add a huge amount of freq range to the same mic. your tlm will sound totally differant going through a 1272, and avalon, a mackie...

i took me quite awhile to recieve mine from deepwater also and his communication wasnt to hot. but n the end i finally did get a pair of the active 8.2s and must say they are nice little monitors. seem very even until around 450-700hz. at that point the things get a little woofy and mushy. had...

hmmm just thought id let you guys know that i sent the deepwater fellow money for a pair of these on dec 5th and have yet to recieve them. he contacted me saying he revieve my cash and they were going out, then i got an email reply saying he was out of stock, then i got a reply saying he lost...

ive been meaning to check out the 4000 series stuff, lots of good reviews on those guys.
