Hmm.. thanks so far guys. But especially to the guys who are recommending the SM57, how many of you have more than a passing experience with any of the other alternate mics in this class? I understand using the mics recommended by those you respect (I've bought blindly based on comments here and...

I think the most noticable difference between the V93 and V67 is the way vocals sound. For some reason the physical look of the two mics correlates with their characteristics for me. The V93 is shiny silver, angular and modern looking. The V67 is matte black and stylish in the same way a...

Hi, I'm relatively new to home reccing especially with microphones (mostly synthesized electronic music in the past). But I do consider myself a pretty careful listener after numerous hours tweaking and noodling over patches. I was recently devirginized in the LD condenser area with the...

Thank you SO much! I didn't think to check the version A or B. I just saw that it was the same version 4.0. Seems to work now!

I can't quite figure out when the beatmapping function stopped working for me because I used to be able to do it. Not sure if the new video card did it but it still crashes after I put the old card back in. Anyone know how to read error messages? I thought it might be the card because it seems...

Sorry but I couldn't find a better place to post this message. Hope I don't get spanked for this by the seniors here. Just wanted to give others like me the heads up on dealers and see if I was in the wrong. Got two MXL v93s ($145 each) from Music123 a little over a month ago. Admittedly I...

Sorry but you sound like you could really use the help of another DJ to show you around the workings of a TT (turntable) in person. But I'll try the best I can in words. First off there are two basic types of tone arms. There's the s-shaped arm that you see standard on Technics 1200s. And then...

I've read numerous posts about the great value of Chinese and Russian mics here. So I went out and got a couple. They sound pretty good to me so far. But I'm just a wee bit short of having million dollar sound-proofed rooms with racks of gear. Is there some ghetto way to see if the mics are...

Thanks for the Abelton Live heads-up. I forgot about that one. Tried to do the demo thing but the versions most manufacturers have are severely crippled especially the features I am most interested in like MIDI. Not sure about you guys but I'm just a bedroom studio and I don't have access to...

I'm a newbie to serious digital recording but I've been a hobbyist for ages. Used to make music with only the Kurzweil K2000 onboard sequencer. But for some time now I've been trying to do research on taking the next big step. With all the packages available and the rapidly changing software...

Actually the MXL 990 ($70 with shockmount and carrying case) is significantly cheaper than the Shure 57/58 ($80/$100). I've read on this board that the 990 has the same capsule as the highly talked about MXL 603s but you have to take the grill off or something like that. I'm pretty new to using...

Haven't really used either but I've seen bands with the Roland and Yamaha triggers. Seemed unsensitive, like the trigger or brain wasn't sensing all levels of midi. Either they didn't set them right or they were intentionally using it that way. Kat went out of business a few years back and I...

sample By the way, here is an unsolicited logo tweak that I did for Paia a long time ago. Now that I look at it, it doesn't really convey the homegrown-solder-it-yourself attitude of Paia.

Stu, that's actually a really great suggestion. Unfortunantly I've fallen a little behind technically. Most of the ads I see want some jazzy Flash designer to make crap fly across the screen for cheap thrills. I'm trying to pick up PHP but it seems that people aren't quite trusting of open...

Hope this doesn't sound too lame and pitiful, but I'm a web and graphic designer who is barely scraping by due to saturation of the field. But until I learn other tricks to earn a living I'm cutting corners where I can. I'd like to learn to play guitar and bass but even E-bay has been too pricey...
