Accessories maybe? 'Phones, stands, cables? There never seem to be enough cables to go around.... well, at least not when you need them or need a particular one. Otherwise, there's plenty!

Why go out and change your front-end system before ever hitting record? If you can return the mixer, maybe you would be better off doing that and upgrading to a stand-alone interface more suited to multi-track recording, but if not, don't go out and buy new stuff before you even know why. Just...

Yeah, I've been laughing about the teethbrush thing all week, and all my friends found it funny as well. Isn't it great what we can learn on a recording forum? I always love the "What's the best mic to record *spam subject* for under $100?" posts

Instead, my friends and I are changing it to black and blue friday, opting to kickbox instead of shop. There's a ton of music gear I want, if I had the cash, though!

All the shot-in-the-dark guesses we could ever make won't mean anything unless we're actually listening to something. Post a clip, and I'm sure people will be able to give much more productive advice. You should never not be able to compress it enough..... sounds like there's some other...

Live, it's going to be the same issue that you'll always face - maximizing the sound source signal relative to the mains output by proper gain staging, mic posititioning, and speaker positioning. The higher gains you're using, the more tricky it will get to make it all work, but keep in mind...

I was just reading not too long ago about using two figure-8's aimed just like that for an interesting stereo room capture. I thought it was pretty neat, a nice use of the side-rejection I hadn't thought of. Perhaps some time I'll try it out.

Go digital. Those who dream of analog tape saturation dream of well-maintained quality reel-to-reel machines.... low-end casettes, not so much.

I'd say you'd be best off going for something like a DMP3 if you don't really need the mixer... maybe an AudioBuddy for cheaper?

The CAD M177 (cardioid-only version of m179) has gone on sale a few times in the last year for ridiculously cheap (around 70 bucks if I recall correctly) on musicians friend.... don't think they have it there now.... If I were in the market for some mics, and that sale came around, I'd grab a...

If you're interested in just about anything regarding audio electronics, I'd recommend taking a look at the forums at http://www.prodigy-pro.com/forum/index.php . There's a lot of really good info there about all sorts of things, with a good mix of hobby DIY'ers and people with a background...

I use a pair of M179's as my main go-to mics for just about everything. http://www.mattthayer.com/music.html "Surrender" is entirely tracked with a stereo pair (sequenced drums) on acoustic and vocals (perhaps mono on vocals, but anything that's not panned deadcenter was done by placement in a...

Take a listen. Buy the ones you like. I want to do that.... if only I had money...

Antifrequency.

I record drums with M179's in cardioid, and never find harshness to be a problem. I usually end up putting them out in front of the set, almost more like room mics than overheads. Although the cymbals and drummer I usually record never seem to get harsh, so I don't have to deal with that.

Oh yeah, and if you want great justice... try taking off every zig.

At least it's english compared to what I had to learn about that from.... That's the downside of having teachers that write their own material... every thing sounds like a textbook, which never make sense. A few months ago I almost knew how to do that stuff... now, not so much.

You might want to go for a couple channels of nicer preamp rather than a whole bunch of one level. You're not often going to be using all 24 preamps at once, and you might be better off keeping your mixer for when you need more than a handful of pres, and then adding a high end 2-channel or so...

Here's an EE-student's perspective, having taken classes both in continuous-time and discrete-time signal processing: Any time you use any kind of frequency-response (more specifically amplitude response)-changing filter (analog or digital), you're going to alter the phase response (versus...

Yeah, I read the title of "New" kick mic, and then looked at the thread and said to myself "self.... that's not new" D=<
