I'm looking to drop some $$ on a decent pair of headphones or ear buds for recreational listening. I travel alot and can have headphone on for 4-6 hours or more and i find that most over ear and in-ear headphones (cheapeis for the most part) get uncomfortable over time. Shure has some, and...

check out bill lawrence pickups, i just put three in my strat and they are sweet. He makes them for tele's as well. Daav

Seems odd to reccomend a LDC for this application? I know you mention "int he studio", but assuming that the people sitting around a conference table don't each have a personal vocal booth as well, those mics would pick up room noise and bleed to the point it would be painful to hear, i would...

Probabaly not enough to justify buying it unless you could use the extra pres for recording more inputs at a time.

agreed with the crowd that i am happy to pay a bit extra to chance for his trouble and to make sure that he doesn't end up taking a loss. I'd be glad to helpo make sure he made some extra scratch as well. I want him happy and willing to organize the next one! daav

Hey this is not my ad, and i would proibably try to pick this stuff up myself, but i am broke and i have a RE27 so don't need them. Thought i would pass on to home rec folks. http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/msg/446303908.html daav

Get your sound where you like it, stick a sm57 in front of the speaker and record that. Shudder in terror at how bad it sounds. Turn the gain on the distortion down and move the mic around and do another 75 test recordings (moving and angling the mic in half inch increments)- pull it back and...

I bought entry level gear (little behringer mixer, fostex mr-8, borrowed Sure sm58 and sm57 for mics) and started to try it out. as soon as i learned a few things, i upgraded all of it but the mics, each time taking a big leap forward in quality. Over time i have replaced nearly all the first...

The MR-8 is 16 bit, no? When i had one of the first generation, i really found the limits of the dynamics quckly, to get a decent track you really needed to have signals sitting in a very tight dynamic range of you would be either clipping on one end or pull of noise from the pre's in the MR-8...

No idea, but the 24/96 is a great little unit, i love mine. You might want to try in the echo forum, there are some enthusiasts there. Daav

I can vouch that the remo practice pad set works.... but doesn't work great. I built one, and it wasn't really that cheap, and I wasn't thrilled with the playability- terrible dynamics etc. The mesh head do it yourself approach might work better. Daav

Another vote for the Oktava MK319, or if you get a really nice deal, used EV RE20 or RE27. Daav

I've had some good experiences with mine. I find them to be VERY sensitive, so it really helps i fyou have a good room, and can set up some treatment in the space around the mic, or you will get a lot of the room in there. These are pretty bright, and i like to add a LDC (in my case an Oktava...

Nice info, thanks Light.

someone better snatch up that beta52. Great price. I have one, or i'd be all over it. Daav

Would you leave it out then? I amost always prefer the sound of my guitars with tone full open, and then eq the recording if needed. I am rewiring my strat, should i jsut make a ll three knobs volume and then be able to blend them to taste at will? That sounds fun. Daav

I've had good sucess with a similar saetup, my reccomendation is to do somethign to provide some isolation when you need it. Build some form of a vocal booth, big enough for soeone to sit inside and play guitar or hand percussion. Mine isn't fully en closed, it actually is a bunch of acoustic...

OK, a while ago i posted a thread about refinshing my MIJ 89 or so strat. People wisely cautioned me against it and i ignored that sage advice and did it anyway. I got lucky and it come out pretty nice, body is laminated, but the grain is nice and matches closely enough that is it a very pretty...

deal with the room or the process of recording will be painful and you will quit and hate it. You can buy auralex and make bass traps and stuff cheap these days, jsut watch craiglist and ebay and stuff. Your room and recordings will benefit and you will feel like a genius and you won't have to...
