Our bass player owns a ton of carvin gear: 2 basses, 2 amps, and a pa. The basses are great, but the electronics suck. The pres in the pa are pretty low quality & pick up a ton of RFI. His bass amp basically blew up (both amps & all speakers) for no reason whatsoever. The amp was not even 2...

Any of Cafe Tacuba's cd's. I really like the combination of this band & producer Gustavo Santaolalla. Very unique sound.

Thanks Tex! I was just wondering 'whatever happened to that Spoon interview', and there it was. Very cool.:D

I would definitely not recommend Carvin. We use a Carvin PA, and our bass player has 2 Carvin bass amps. One of them just up & blew itself up (power amp & speakers) for no reason. Carvin was no help. I'm not crazy about the sound quality of PA or amps. PA picks up tons of RFI. Great...

Anyone know what this is called & where I can get it?

I assume your compressor is going to want a line level signal, so you can't plug your mic or instrument directly into it & you have no channel inserts to patch it into. I may be wrong about this, try it before you take my word. You should maybe look into a small cheap mixer with channel...

I recorded a bass cab this weekend & I said I'd report back so here goes: I used a 57 about 6 in off the grill and a 4033 about 18" off & down near the floor. The SPL crapped out the 57 in a few spots (the amp was LOUD!), but other than that worked well. The 4033 was too harsh up close, but...

Well, you have everything you need to start, I guess. Maybe you should spend that $200 on a small diaphragm condensor like a mxl 603 or oktava mk012, and a sm57 to give you some more mic options. You're going to find that all of your gear has its limitations, and as you figure out what these...

I see them come up on ebay quite often, though.

What do you plan on recording?

So was this just a dumbass question, or am I just impatient?:)

There seems to be tons of talk here about mic choice & placement for close drum mics & overheads, but less talk about room mics. I understand it is pretty common to use room mics for drums. Is this technique totally dependant on the room characteristics & the sound you're after, or are there...

I've never used one, but I've heard the Beyer m69 excels at this.

Katie's got some damn hairy nipples. Looks like a little mini-afro on each one!

Sub A- Looks like you really like that 4033! I just bought one-arrived today & I can't wait to try it out. My mic closet is more like a shoebox, but here goes: 1. Male vocals- mxl v67, sp b3 2. Female vocals- v67 3. Acoustic guitar- mxl603, b3 4. Guitar amp- sm57, b3 5. Guitar amp at...

Oops, maybe I should have started a new thread for the spelling question.

Ah! My bad. I understand now what you mean. But isn't it a pretty common thing to mix a DI and a miced signal for bass? How do most AE's deal with this phase issue? (By the way, is it miCed or miKed?)
