    Any Opinions on Oktava MK-219?

    Depends. What are you going to use it for? The 219 doesn't seem to have a lot of fans as an all-purpose LDC. Kinda dark, and not particularly flattering on vocals. The 319 seems to be held in higher regard-I have a 319, and find myself reaching for it first when recording strings and some...

    Phantom Power and dynamic mics...

    Nope. Phantom away. If you have a ribbon mic or something of THAT nature, be careful of the phantom power, but for a normal dynamic, you're fine.

    Mic Placement question

    Anpther reason for hanging the mic upside down from a boom is to allow for a music stand underneath the mic. That way there's nothing hanging beneath the mic to obstuct the vision of the performer.

    SP C1 Shock mount question

    From the "not quite in line with the tread, but certainly in line with a post in the thread" category... I bought the Oktava shock mounts for my 012's. They had the aforementioned inserts, but the pisser is that with the inserts OUT, the mounts are WAY too big to screw onto my standard...

    SP C1 Shock mount question

    Because DJL interjects himself into every SP thread and starts the pissing match by taking cheap shots at their products.

    Cad Kbm412

    I've got one. It's worth about what you pay for it...I got mine in a set with 4 of the 411's, 2 cheap SDC's (that I've NEVER used), and the 412. It's functional...certainly not outstanding, and won't make anyone sell their PG52's or D112's, but it gets the job done. I did a crappy job of...

    DJL- Go pound sand up your ass. If you don't like humorous comments in a thread, then go start your own board, and ban me. I don't know what set you off on your Rain Man thing again, but you've posted crap about me in 4 different threads today...threads where your name never came up. I don't...

    Skeelsd- Great response...good to see you're looking at this in the proper light. Unfortunately, DJL will take you at your word, and will probably be starting a new thread accusing Alan Hyatt and PMI Audio of offering bribes to customers to keep them from spreading the word about the lack of...

    Neumann U87 parts

    1) Go play in traffic, DJL. I never said a freaking word about you in this thread, and you decide to take a shot at me. Grow up, already. 2) Did you even LOOK at the page you linked for this guy? The mic pictured in your link has a 3 pin XLR connection...that's not the mic he needs help with...

    Neumann U87 parts

    No one will have parts for that old thing. Better just send it to me,and I'll recycle it-I've been turning them into egg beaters...:D (See the Studio Projects B1 thread for clarification on this post if necessary...)

    Studio Projects B1

    Re: Re: Egg Beater Mics I thought he said it quit in the middle of a 3-egg souffle...but I could be wrong...it might have been an omlette. I DO have a question about the B1 owner's manual, though...an I hope Alan's lurking in this thread so he (or Brent) can answer it... I understand the...

    If "I" were Brent, I'd send Rex back an eggbeater with pancake mix on it......and I'd send the new B1 directly to skeelsd. But that's just me. And I'm warped.

    Mastering/volume equalization question

    Ditto...this has been an incredibly helpful thread.

    Mastering/volume equalization question

    Quite possibly the best piece of info I've ever gotten from this BBS. I KNEW there was a scan function in one of the plugins. I could not for the life of me find it. So that leads to the next question...scan RMS or peak if all I'm trying to do at this point is equalize volumes? I'm thinking...

    Mastering/volume equalization question

    A) I wasn't going to use Nero unless someone gave me a REALLY good reason to do so... B) For 17 tracks? C) I'll dig into my documentation for CDA a little deeper...I didn't think there was a good way of tweaking volume in CDA-although the graphics give you a pretty good idea of what you're...

    Mastering/volume equalization question

    Dammit, Bruce, that's NOT the answer I was looking for....:mad: Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to go back to listening, rendering, adjusting, and repeating. I'll be back, someday....:D PS-that's kinda what I thought the answer was gonna be....no WONDER you guys charge so much to...

    Mastering/volume equalization question

    Here's my deal... A 17 track CD that I'm done tracking and mixing. Now I'm trying to do some basic mastering myself. Biggest issue I'm running into right now is getting all 17 tracks to play at or near the same volume. I used Vegas to mix and track, and Sound forge to edit. I'm going to use...
