    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.

    Rented flat - sounds awful - help!

    Build as many bass traps as you can afford and put them EVERYWHERE! Even just leaning against the wall will work.

    How do you deal with bands that don't show up to record?

    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...

    When you get a chance to hear the difference, would you mind reporting back? Also, what exactly did you do to remove the filters?

    Help me understand S/PDIF please

    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...

    How do you deal with bands that don't show up to record?

    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...

    Help me understand S/PDIF please

    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.

    Anyone try this inexpensive metal pop filter?

    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...

    Best Overhead Drum Mic For Under $250

    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...

    CAD GLX3000 $60 Stupid Deal 2008-11-23

    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!

    Blue "ball" mics? On sale-ish, any good?

    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...

    WTB: Art DPS II

    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...
