Are you asking about Aquarian Studio Rings?

I've got a complete set from 10" up to 16" to use on toms, with doubles of 13" and 14" (to accommodate snare drums.) When a drummer brings in his garbage...
Yesterday, I mic'd toms with these on the cardioid pattern. They worked out great. I also used one on some scratch vocal guide tracks and I'm very pleased with what I got.
Toshiba Satellite:
Windows XP Home Edition SP 3
2 gigs ram
Intel Centrino M 1.5 ghz processor
40 gig internal drive (stores programs, plugins, mp3's, pictures, general computer stuff)
320 gig 7200 RPM external firewire drive (use for backup of internal drive and I record directly to this drive)...
They apologized to me. They blamed it on poor communication amongst themselves and I (like a fool) accepted the apology. They did seem genuinely embarrassed and humbled.
What I'm hoping for is after this passes, they will record with me regularly at my normal rates. I'm sorta like a crack...
Thanks everybody, so just to be clear.
All I need is a single S/PDIF cable going from the out on the tube preamp to the input on my Firepod? I don't need a 2nd cable going from the output on my Firepod into the In on the tube preamp? The Firepod doesn't need to transmit anything back to the...
I'm not sure where the right place for this to go is...
Today I blocked the entire afternoon to track drums for a band, I also have this same band scheduled on Friday and Saturday. Well they were supposed to show up at 11 am. I waited until 12 and went to get some lunch, came back and did some...
I've been building them up since I became a member on this site, so not too long.
2 Naiant X-M's (matched)
2 Shure SM57
1 Shure Beta57a
1 Apex 210
3 Cad GXL3000
1 Audix F-14
1 Blue Kickball
and that's it for now. How am I doing?
I really want to pick up a RE20.
I have a Firepod and I would like to add 2 more channels through S/PDIF. I was looking at the Art DPSII which has S/PDIF in and out.
If I bought the DPSII could I just plug the preamp into my interface using an RCA cable for both the input and the output and be done? Will the two match each...
The best shipping code that works I've been using for a couple of months is SHIP29. Free shipping for orders over $30. I also bought 2 of the Cads yesterday, so add that to my list of sweat deals.
I bought one because the cheap cloth ones are junk so I thought a metal one would last a while.
I also like how it doesn't seem to change the tone of a voice, I don't think it has as much pop reduction as a cloth filter would have though.
I haven't run into an issue with excessive popping...
There is an application matrix on the Naiant Mic page that shows which mics work best in different applications. For drum overheads and acoustic guitars the X-M's with transformer outputs is the owners personal choice, so that's what I ordered. Again I really like them and it only took about a...
Check out a matched pair of Naiant X-M's. I've been using mine as overhead mics with great results.
Only $160 includes the matching charge!

I saw this too. I also bought one when they were $69.99 (which they were for a long time)
I'm trying to convince myself I don't need a second one... I do really like the mic though.
(and after thinking about it some more)
Now I'm trying to convince myself I don't need 2 more for tom mic'ing!
I saw that these were on sale too, so I ordered the blue kickball mic.
I figured $50 isn't a whole lot, and I just might get a good (and cheap!) kick drum mic out of the deal.
I've been using an Audix F14 and I recently discovered it really shines on bass cabinets and on bigger toms, so...
I would like to buy a DPS II preamp from somebody who hopefully has one laying around. ...and before somebody starts offering out other types of preamps, I want it specifically because it has S/PDIF out which will take advantage of all 10 channels on my Firepod. I really could care less about...
