    Pics of My Studio Conception to Finish

    Good job! SG, I've been following this thread from the beginning. I've enjoyed the trip. Thank you! A couple of observations and then a couple of questions. First, your studio looks very nice. Love the color scheme. I'm glad to see you put in plenty of electrical outlets. And at a more user...

    Basement studio Ideas (with Pics!)

    I'm sure you don't really want to spend your money on it, but I'd replace the old single strand electrical wiring before you close up the floor joists. That stuff with insulation packed around it is prime fire starter! Best of luck! Joel

    Good Pre-amp choice for £500?

    Diskobox, What are you recording? Do you want/need 4 of the same mic pres? I've used both the Mixwiz 3 and the Sytek. Though I've never compared them side by side, I'd say you're not going to see an appreciable difference in the sound of the two mic preamps. The advantage (depending on your...

    Non-recording microphone question

    I've never used an e935, but use the e835 all the time. Much better than the SM58, which, by the way is no slouch on vocals. Honestly though, either one will work just fine. Joel

    Setting up budget home studio-Advice

    True that. And I've done so, when the situation warranted. For the project I'm working on now(long distance collaboration), I need to eliminate all reflections. It's what the producer/mixer asked for. So far he's happy and that's what counts in this instance. Gorilla recording, gotta love it! Joel

    Setting up budget home studio-Advice

    MOFO, I guess it depends on the type of clothes closet that you have. Mine is a small walk in, mostly square in shape with clothes racks on two sides. The third wall and the door have layers of clothes on hangers, hanging on hooks. Very dead and works great for me. And didn't cost a dime. Just...

    If you have a closet full of clothes, you don't need a refection filter. The clothes do the same thing, for FREE!! Joel

    ADK Vienna or Hamburg

    Of those two mics, that's the one I would try first. But without hearing the guitar that's just a guess based on the fact that most every Martin I've heard has a tendency to be darker sounding (as opposed to something like a Taylor). So the Vienna might be a good mic to offset that darker sound...

    Question

    If you already know this producer and have worked with him, perhaps he's the one to answer your questions. The rest of us can only speculate. Peace, Joel

    ADK Vienna or Hamburg

    I've had both mics for several years. While I've never tried to make one sound like the other, they both EQ very well. As I recall, the Vienna was designed for female vocals and higher register instruments, while the Hamburg was designed for male vocals and the like. Both work well on many...

    Time for a new kick drum mic

    I really like the Audio Technica ATM25. Seems to have a neutral sound. Will replicate the sound of whatever kick drum you have. Joel
