    Audio-Technica AT4060 tube mic

    I have one..I like it..I use it for vocals mostly and sometimes a room mic for drums,because I'm lazy and its up most of the time. I pair it with a GT Vipre..I think I paid about $750.00 for it about 2 years ago..Good mic :)

    is API overkill for me?

    Overkill...Sure why not :D I'll second the OSA's.The lunchbox idea is definetly a good one! Mix and match API's,Purples,BA's and OSA's :)For overheads I'm likeing Shures KSM44's right now GT44's are pretty cool too for less cash..but really most decent mics will work {dependent on what you are...

    Most Overrated/Overpriced Electric Guitars

    All fine and well except...THe bottom line here is that people that spend upwards of 2000$ for a guitar that says Gibson on it are less creative than those who spend 300$ on a silvertone. Thats is just wrong..I have freind back home{Boston} who is a excellent avant guitar player and he uses...

    Ksm44...

    You could do worse than the KSM44..most of the time its at least good on something and never really bad on anything.

    Your Favorite Mic for Guitar Cabs?

    try the back of that combo too.There can be some beef that can be used/found from the back of combos..check your phase between the front and back mics and rock n roll :)

    Cover of 1979 with the first use of a compressor

    The compresser is a little heavy for this vocal preformance...brings out the pops in the mic too much and sibiance..Nice job on the tune!Get a pop filter and tilt the mic back a couple of degrees..pan your guits a little closer so the entry is a little smoother,maybe 11 and 1 0clock sounds like...

    Single Mic Pre under/around $1000...

    I like the OSA's A's,C's{love 'em on drums}and the L3 quite a bit,nice bottom and clear top end..But different strokes :) ..I do like the Great River NV's with the KSM 44's..matter of fact,come to think of it whenever I grab a 44 I always use the G/R..Im getting lazy and habitual :) Good luck

    Higher end preamp decisions

    API's, OSA's, BA cards are about 500ish and are high end enough[IMHO]..just get a lunchbox and load it up as you go..Add EQ and compresser cards also..if you can't get sh*t done with that rig...http://www.mercenary.com/api.html http://www.atlasproaudio.com/osa2.html
