It makes me deeply happy to know El Verde Hornetto is still alive and kicking. :D

Am I the only one who sees the abbreviation SDOTD and assumes it must be something to do with herpes or cyphilis? :confused:

I got one of those a few years ago on Harvey's recommendation. Never regretted it. Once I got over my newbie fetish for bright condensers on EVERYTHING, I really enjoyed it on male voices and still occassionally take it to gigs to confuse the performers by ignoring their technical riders...

Sounds like your room unless you put a bathroom reverb on there. Tricky to pull an immediate fix but there is lots of good advice around here. The mic itself isn't all that flattering to your voice, you could do with something with a bit more of an open sound anyway (particularly in the highs)...

Awesome. Cheers guys. I'll hit Ebay later tonight and see what I can find out of those. Nik

I need to get an FX box of some sort quite soon, for sticking some reverb on live vox and guitars. To be used both in a small PA and in the monitor chain for recording. My budget is basically nothing, so the question is - which out of all the units that go on Ebay daily for next-to-nothing is...

I miss Walters. :( He'd know the right question to ask that'd help us get to the bottom of this creamy analogue warmth issue.

I've upgraded to 2gb now, it's the max this Macbook can take according to Apple. Haven't bought Logic yet because I'm too flaming busy to do any recording!!

Yeah I can see it being quite a useful teaching aid too!

OK JordanD, your act is very entertaining for about five or six seconds but could you leave these nice people to their thread please? Perhaps you could start your own thread to discuss the ongoing development of your talent and the writing of your defining masterpiece?

I've never actually listened to the dynamic track, although I did record it once to telephone EQ for a couple of bits. Cool idea dude!

When I record rap I tend to do it with a Studio Projects B1 up on the stand behind the pop shield, and then give the guy a 58 to 'perform to'. As long as he doesn't stray too far you're OK, and a bit of compression will often even that out.

Yeah, why the hell not. Go for a dynamic like a 58. If you perform better with a handheld, like a lot of rappers do, it could work out well for you anyway.

I really, REALLY want to add something on-topic, but for some reason the phrase 'closet environment' has me all of a titter. Teehee! :p

Nice improvisations guys. Do you mean literally on top of the saddles, under the strings? Might have to have a fiddle.

I played in a band with a female lead singer/trumpet player for years. We mostly used an E845 or occasionally an E835 so you'll be fine. The trumpet sounded slightly less harsh through an SM58 but her voice didn't sound as good so we stuck with the Sennheisers. You'll be fine with what you've...

Yeah, I get you. Aside from elaborate pedal boards there's not much you can do to get that sort of flexibility and even then it's not quite right.

........ setting their EQ up like in the HR logo (top left of your browser window right now)? It looks a bit odd. I'd like someone to strap an EQ of exactly that shape across the master buss of one of their mixes and post before and after clips in the MP3 clinic to see how terrible it sounds...

I once had a Pearly in the bridge of a Strat and it was all twang. The Alnico II Pro, remember, are Slash's pickups. Dunno if that makes any difference! And no, I haven't heard the Lindy Fralins, but everybody I've come across who's had a pickup from them has been very happy. :)
