I just can't believe that a giant seller like the GC (= biggest music gear seller on the planet) wouldn't know that the mics are from China. That's hard to imagine. I assume that they must have ordered directly from China -- but why would a store put its reputation on the line for such a...

Funny how a supossedly "leaked GC memo" changes the opinion of most of you guys. I don't even buy this memo story and think its a hoax.

Damn -- I wanted to go there tomorrow and get one :D Are there still some left? Did you check it out yet? Any good?

That's the right attitude! :D

Yes, the Hamburg sounds German (U67), while the Vienna sounds Austrian (AKG C12) :p I wonder how the Area51 sounds -- like an UFO?? Do you believe all that crap manufacturer tell you? ;)

I went to my local Guitar Center today (Rockville, Md). They ran out of the Oktavas, but said that they can order them in no time for the same price: MC-012 $69.- MC-012 matched pair: $145.- MKL-2500 $99.- I am tempted to either get the matched pair or the 2500. On the other hand, what would I...

$250.- "to achieve a true telephone, lo-fi, AM radio sound"? :confused: I can do that with a simple high-pass and other filters!

Cool, Thane! Let me know how it worked out, ok? I'm still looking for a reel-to-reel recorder in my local music stores.

How much for the EMU ROMS (if still available)?

Why would he want dynamic mics if he can afford and likes better sounding condensers?

Panels are looking good! Is the ribbin mic your weapon of choice for trumpets? Have you also recorded tenor sax with it? (I'm a tenor sax player and are aalways looking for good mics)

Hey guys -- I am in the process of putting a website together about bottle mics: http://www.giganova.com/bottle_mics.html I'd be happy if you could send me more info & updates (omissions, years in production, etc) of bottle mics so I can update the site. Also, if you want me to include more...

Let me know how it worked out, ok? If your reel-to-reel recorder allows to bounce "on the fly" it would be very easy [no need to rewind tape and record back into DAW].

Not sure when I posted the last time. Got a Future Revolution Retro, an Allen & Heath Mixwizard, an RME lightpipe card, ADAT interface, a MOOG Rogue, a $3k notebook, etc. this year .... enough to play around for a while until the gear lust hits me :D I'm gonna upgrade my mics and pres soon.

ntrack studio software costs next to nothin' and has great MIDI capabilities.

Hey Thane -- ever bounced your traxx from your DAW onto reel and then back into your DAW? I'm sure that would add a nice & subtle "analogue tape distortion" to your electronica songs.

Thanks for your replies. The thread, however, is already rather old (1.5 years). In the meantime I have bought a Future Retro Revolution and a MOOG Rogue, among other things.

That's sick!! I might not have the same console as you, but I have the same red jacket :D

I enjoy watching MTV cribs too, hoping that I might see a studio. Have you seen the "Ozzy Osborne" show last year on MTV? There's a hillarious episode where he builds a multi-$100,000 recording studio in the basement of his house. Each time someone enters the studio Ozzy shouts "DON'T TOUCH...

Yeah, maybe the sunlight! :D
