    Different mic options for sax.

    I used an ADK A-51 Series III on the sax on the songs linked below. I was pretty happy with the results... Recent Nights Tell Me Think Back

    are these mics decent?

    The 603 is pretty popular at it's price point. Not many SDC's can compete with it for the $$$. The 2001 has been pretty soundly beaten by a LOT of reviewers. Will it do an OK job? Probably, but for the money there are better alternatives. However, it makes a decent doorstap after you flatten...

    Bar codes? Can I do em?

    The last CD I engineered went to a company called Magnetic Media (I think...the band handled that side of it...) in NJ for printing. They included a barcode for nothing, as long as the graphic designer for the artwork left a 1.5"x.75" white rectangle on the back tray insert design. I'm not sure...

    Question about ECM8000

    I use it as a reference source for my RTA. Other than that, not much. I hear that a set makes a passable OH combo, but I've got 012's for that. I haven't really tried it for anything else...but I suppose I could try it on something...just for the fun of it.

    why aren't the majority of people on these boards successful?

    I'm successful beyond my expectations. When I started my studio, it was gonna be a place for me and some friends to lay down some tracks and generally goof around. No thought of revenue. Now it's a self-sustaining entity, and I'm not tapping into $$$ from my FT gig to soothe the GAS beast or...

    MC012 vs. SM81

    Absolutely the 81. I wouldn't use the 1000 as a doorstop-it might hurt the door, and it will CERTAINLY make the door sound shrill and grainy. The 1000 makes an effective paperweight, once it's been flattened by a steamroller. At that point it becomes a useful tool in my studio. Other than...

    Question about ECM8000

    You're SINGING into an ECM8000? What a novel concept...I never really thought about using one of them for vocals.... That's gotta be unflattering as hell...... :confused:

    studio projects c1 or rode nt1a?

    Spending $200 on a soundcard and a preamp will NOT equate to "great quality sounding studio"...there's a hell of a lot more to it than that. Spending some $$$ will certainly improve the quality of your recordings over what you have now, but expecting "produce albums for release" quality from...

    Oktava MK 319 mic

    What you're saying may have been true in the past, but I think the days of retail and/or list price being a valid reference for wholesale cost are pretty much gone. The rise of the internet retailers has made the "retail" price irrelevant, since their margins aren't dependant on having a...

    Oktava MK 319 mic

    No one pays list for ANYTHING. Take a look at a Musician's Friend catalog sometime-retail is just some fictional number that they make up to make their "sale" price look like a great deal.

    MC012 vs. SM81

    The 81 (IMHO) is a better mic than the Octava. I've got 2 sets of the 012's, and I love them, but my experience with the 81 is that it's a step above the Octava. For the $$$, the 012 is a great mic, but the 81 pretty much beats the 012 in every application. Granted, there might be certain...

    Three options for Overhead mics... please advise!

    What they said..... Get the Octavas. Long term, they're the best solution for your needs.

    oktava mk-012a

    Great mics. I own 2 sets. They are my first choice for overheads, and I also like them on guitar. Get a set-you won't regret it.
