    Tube Amp Servicing

    for an amp that old i'd just take it to someone to have it professionally serviced. some amps aren't picky about biasing...but really...just to have everything cleaned out (pots, biasing, tubes, etc) it'll be worth it.

    Mic for screaming?

    as far as condensors go, the AT4050 and GT55 are standouts IMO. those two were pitted against a blueberry, dragonfly, oktava mc-012, and probably some others i can't remember. the 4050 is crystal clear and the gt55 adds a certain amount of grit to it. dynamics...sm57 and senn e609 is great...

    Holes in Mic Cabinet

    i can only imagine you have great stuff to compliment those mics...but what pres are you using? that might be a more worth-while quality upgrade. as far as mics go...the AT 4060 is a tube mic and gets rave reviews on this board/interviewed engineers. i believe it's around 1100. the gt66 is...

    How Is A Rack Compressor Used w/ PC Recording?

    I agree that MANY professionals use compression when nessecary when tracking. If you find a vocal chain for a pop artist example...a lot of times an avalon will show up in there. I've seen it in pretty much every listing of vocal chains of seen (maybe not the avalon, but something...1176...

    Noise Reduction DIY >not gated< DIY?

    i would definately invest in a hush super c. the guitarist uses a mesa, fed with emgs, in a room with terrible electricity, and it really makes the hiss and hum virutally inaudible. he also feels it tightened up his tone in general...but i can't really say i've noticed that. great little...

    Need Help With Recording W Behringer

    the mono inputs can still be panned to either the left or right side via the pan knobs. the stereo inputs with the L and R inputs...will be either L or R depending on which one you plug them into. so assuming you plug some overheads into one of your stereo inputs...OH L goes in left, OH R goes...

    Finishing Basement --Studio Concerns

    I'd suggest posting this in the studio building forum. They can tell you analyzers, acoustic, etc. However...right of the bat...depending on the music you're recording...to get a really tight/in your face guitar sound...a dead room would be much more ideal. The general concensus I've gotten...

    Need Help With Recording W Behringer

    If you're looking to get 9 inputs into the computer on seperate tracks, you have two options that i know of...the MOTU 24i/o and the MOTU 192HD. The 24 i/o is self explanatory by the name, and the 192HD has twelve inputs and is really great IMO. However, both of those will run you roughly in...

    blue blueberry for vox/acoustic guitar

    i too just posted on the other blue thread. for what you want to do, i believe the blueberry would be better. i've owned both mics. the blueberry is be a lot nicer on a female vocal in that it will be bright, but not harsh...which the dragonfly can be on the wrong voice. the blueberry is a...

    mopads vs pvc monitor stands

    1) the reason that i say that the speakers should be cranking more bass is that they can go quite low and it seems to resonate more than i would expect in my desk. i seem to feel a lot more than than i'm actually hearing too, which i'm aware may be a phase issue or my room as my speakers aren't...

    Blue Microphones

    I owned both the Blueberry and the Dragonfly. I've since gotten rid of them. IMHO, they're much too expensive for such sonically tailored mics. The blueberry has a great air and presense about it, but the kind that cuts through a mix really and given the majority of the stuff I record (heavy...

    Air gap treatment advice

    I had the same type of issue actually. I found a place that sound a close circuit camera for about $40 (Harbor Freight Tools I believe is the name of the place). Hooked that up to a cheap little tv, and it actually has a little mic on it for talk back, night vision if your drummer decided that...

    mopads vs pvc monitor stands

    thanks, i haven't heard anyone talk about the mids before, so that's good to know. but to clarify, i would most likely use spikes to isolate the monitors from the stands...so really i should be asking if stands + spikes is better than the mopads. thanks!

    Converters

    Hello everyone, I have two cards at my disposal and would like to know which one has better converters. I have the M-Audio Audiophile 192 and the Presonus Firepod. Now, I'm not even remotely concerned about all the pres that the firepod has over the audiophile and ANYTHING other than just the...

    M-Audio 192HD vs Presonus Firepod

    yes, your right it is the audiophile 192 (sorry i'm at work and i haven't had that thing hooked up let alone used it in quite a while). but the other is a firepod, 8 pres and all. like i said, the pres aren't any concern of mine at all, but i'll try the soundcard forum. thanks!

    mopads vs pvc monitor stands

    i'm very interested in beefing up my monitor chain as far as accuracy goes. i really feel that the monitors i'm using crank out more bass than i'm hearing. i'm using m-audio bx8s on mopads sitting on my desk. they're only a couple inches away from the wall and are properly angled at me. my...

    USA- They are coming

    i'm curious as to when, within the last 8 years or so, they haven't been coming for us? and unless you wanted a critique on the sound quality of the videos, or how it was recorded...wrong forum.

    M-Audio 192HD vs Presonus Firepod

    Hello all, I'm not sure if this was something for here for the sound card category, but I figured I'd give it a shot here. I have both of these at my disposal and am wondering which one you would prefer over strictly based on the sound/converters. though i've never direectly a/b-ed the two...

    sudden recording latency!

    well in logic...there's several things that will affect latency. try dropping down to 64 for a buffer size (that's where i have to run mine). also see if the "use large disk buffer" is checked or not...you might want to try it both ways. you can also check the portion that asks if you want a...

    simplifying

    a while ago i got sick of doing the whole recording thing for really ungrateful bands that don't understand why i can't make a crate amp with 1, 8"inch speaker sound like a mesa stack and ended up selling pretty much everything. later on i realzed that i missed it and the part that i hated...
