The connection from your mic preamp to you sound card is line level. 1/4" TRS (balanced cable) is perfectly suitable (and professional) for this connection. In fact, most line level connections between equipment are made using TRS because they are less expensive, take up less space, and are...
There's a technique call "Fattening" I first read about in David Gibson's "The Art Of Mixing." To execute the technique, you first clone your single track, so now you have two identical tracks. Next, pan the two tracks to taste and put a delay of 1 to 30ms on one of the tracks. The fattening...
It's all Greek to me

My understanding is that proximity effect is caused by mics with a directional polar pattern, whether dynamic or condenser. The RE20 has Variable-D technology that supposedly helps minimize proximity effect.
I've heard something similar, but it went more like this:
"You take the mike that is plugged into your pre amp and hold the tip (in front of the guitar amp) and move it around the speaker, and where it sounds best is where to mike it."
1. Webber OM, Larrivee L-30 Nylon.
2. Oktava MC012 + MXL 603s, 2 Naiant MSH1s, single 797 Audio CR998 Tube.
3. Depends on the song and arrangement. Where and how does the guit fit in the mix?
4. It just takes time and patience--get to know your mics and how to place them in your recording...
I don't know if Han is still around, but if I remember correctly he liked the V69 quite a bit, and Han was no slouch. I haven't heard either mic, but if Mike (Joly) really said the V67 is the best mic < $500 that would include some of his own mics, wouldn't it?
I'd go with something like Seventh Circle Audio. You could get four top quality pres, (mix and match API 312, Hardy J99, Neve N72 clones) assembled with Op amps, chassis, and power supply for under $2,500. If you can assemble yourself, you'll save a bunch more. These pres have established a...
A few--not many in recent years I'll admit.
I have lived near Buffalo Brothers since before they were Buffalo Brothers, so I have had the opportunity to play many high end brands, many models, many, many times. I have also purchased several nice guits from Buf Bros (currently a Webber OM and...
I have played a couple of Taylors that were outstanding--as good/better as any Cruz, Collings in the room at the time. But in general, out of the hundreds I've played, for what you get for your $, they are overpriced IMO. Sorry Richie.:D
They are still good guits, though.:)
I think the Speck is probably considered high-end. I have only heard it at the Listening Sessions and was amazed that for acou guit I chose it over every other pre, including the Hardy.
I have always felt the Speck would compliment my Sebatron perfectly. You can find the two channel Seb new...
Wow, give a fellow just a little bit of power, and watch what he becomes.:confused:
Sorry, santiu, I think you should mod the 603s before forking out considerably more for other mics. I have an older 603 and an MK012. They sound very similar to me (and to Harvey as well--at least the older...
