If you want an extremely true representation of whats going on in the room, a pair of omni's would be fantastic. You'll catch everything, for better or worse. :) Edit: Taking the time to read the original post, I see that two omni's aren't available to you (look up Naiant btw, very cheap and...

I don't know how you folks feel about it, but I feel the 12AX7 is too hot for this circuit, especially on loud sources. I've been using a 12AT7 and even with this the mic is HOT. I think I might try a 12AU7. I've got a few RCA blackplate 12AU7s that might be good to go with. I've gotta say...

I think with some experimentation you'll be pleased with the results. The best wisdom this forum offers is 'use your ears.' :) The best electric guitar sounds I've come up with are from a M/S stereo pair using an Apex 205 ribbon(Cinemag iron) and a Naiant MS1 (omni). Your e906 would work...

You do need 7.4 to install on Vista Home Premium. It works okay, and I like 7.4 just fine, but Vista is a resource hog in comparison to XP even after LOTS of tweaking. I was much happier after I rolled the PC back to Windows XP, I was able to get more tracks open, more plugins, less system...

I guess it depends on what you want to use the mic for. I use it on guitar cabs a few feet back (in conjuction with a ribbon mic for a M/S stereo pair, excellent guitar micing results this way), and with the 12AT7 the output is still very hot. The loudest amp I mic is a Marshall 18 watt into a...

Those are very good tubes, especially given the price. I'm using a Telefunken 12AT7 in my 960 and the results are MUCH better than the chinese stock 12AX7. I think you'd be pleased with the change simply for the lower gain, let alone the better sound. In fact, this mic could stand to use a...

Would anybody have some useful information on what exactly you are looking for? My room is treated nicely for highs and mids, but has essentially no low end treatment at all. It would be good to know what the room is doing to my mixes... Do you run a sweep with a sine wave listening via a...

You'll be glad you did. :D

And Digi has incentive to make the 'home' systems noticeably inferior to the higher priced HD system. If you get decent enough at home recording, you'll start looking more seriously at the HD systems, thus more profit for Digi. The Black Lion folks seem to be offering an alternative that is...

The best money I have ever spent on studio gear: http://www.blacklionaudio.com/digi002_mod.html Digi 002 functionality paired with preamps and AD/DA converters that actually sound really decent. It's a win-win. Night and day difference.

Digi 002, a firewire device. The latency can get to be pretty bad, especially as the tracks get more advanced/developed. Enough that I don't want to record without the low latency monitoring enabled... I've not tried adjusting the buffer size to be smaller, that may help... Envious of the...

Perhaps I'm missing something here... I got the sends to work just fine and was able to apply the effects to the aux channel just fine, but as soon as you record arm the audio track you want to record, the send gets bypassed with an error message popping up saying (something like) "Send's...

MIM's are essentially identical, minus the electronics and some of the hardware. The necks/bodies are made in the same place, the only difference as it was explained to me (by Fender repair service people) is that some of lesser quality stock (less desirable grain, wierd patterns or marks in...

After posting my response, I decided it would be best to read the manual. Wow, I have been doing things the hard way for 3 years now... :eek: -> :mad: -> :o -> :cool:

Wouldn't you run into latency problems like this? I want to say that any track you are recording on gets all effects bypassed, unless you disable low latency monitoring which is pretty well unusable for song recording. If you send the output of the channel you are recording on to a bus, set an...

Yep, that nails it. Bang for buck, solid state is the way to go. Tube gear can function very nicely for a price, but on a budget SS works fine, perhaps great depending on the piece. You won't be wasting all your mojo because of SS mic pre's or SS mics, that's for sure. I own a MXL 960...

Just to play devils advocate here... If every other variable were equal, a tube driven device would sound "better" than a transistor driven device. More correct, it would sound different, and when things sound different you get personal preference, and in comes the debate. But it's kind of a...

I did put it back to mono with matched levels, and it will completely cancel the ribbon portion of the track. Makes sense, seeing as how it's the exact same source, inverted, played at the same volume right? The LDC mic still remains when summed to mono, so the guitar part doesn't completely...

So I got my Digi 002 board back from BlackLion Audio over the weekend, and got to test out my new Cinemag equipped Apex 205 ribbons. :) It was a good weekend. I tried messing around with stereo micing, never really gotten into it before (a big thanks to Harvey and everybody that contributed...

I've read something once that gave me the impression that most of the smaller element omni's all use the same nice quality element (Panasonic?), and that the differences from there are in the circuit and packaging. Given the omni design, it's pretty hard to screw up the mic body, so a simple...
