by the way, have you tried your new mics yet? I hear MXL's quality control is pretty decent. Are they close enough that they're essentially matched? (i.e., sequential serial numbers, etc.)

Here's a "stereo pair" of 603s' sold at 8thstreet.com: http://www.8thstreet.com/product.asp?ProductCode=6450&Category=Microphones I didn't find any mention of them being matched. By definition stereo just implies that you get two mics...they don't necessarily have to be matched, although it's...

Cool, so basically most of you have mixers for the pre's, and to EQ, monitor, etc. while tracking. Since I have a DMP3 I don't need the pre's, and I won't be recording using any more than two mics at a time anyway, so I can just use the pre and go right into my MR-8 and record both tracks at...

To anyone using a standalone type of recorder, like the MR-8, VF-80, etc. etc., are you using a mixer? If so, what are you using it for mostly? Is it because you need lots of channels to mix a bunch of drum mics down into two channels to record? Or are you using it to create a final mix of...

I actually just picked up a v67G on eBay for $81.99, including shipping, supposedly brand new and unopened...I'll find out soon enough! (fingers crossed) There are definitely deals to be found, if you look around enough, and know who to trust. I'm curious Crazydoc, what type of voice do you...

$240 MR-8!!! There's a "scratch and dent" MR-8 on Musicians Friend RIGHT NOW! If you're lucky you can snatch it up before someone else does, for only $239.99! I was lucky enough to get one of these units. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it, other than that it didn't come in the...

what about the STUDIO PROJECTS B-1? I think most people here would tell you the SP B-1 kicks the Behringer's a$#! I'm curious about what responses you get here though. I'm also looking at the 990, and the v67G and SP B-1, or maybe even the C-1. I wish I could be of more help, but...

Oh, another thing to consider: After buying an MR-8 (Scratch & Dent from MF; $240!) I keep finding myself unsatisfied with the sound quality of my recordings, but not due to flaws in the Fostex unit itself, but rather due to my lack of outboard gear needed to achieve a great sound (good mics, a...

It DOESN'T have USB capability built-in, that's the problem here. I don't know why Fostex didn't include it! Errrr

I skimmed through this rather quickly, so forgive me if I missed it, but I don't think anyone's mentioned something I've heard before, but unfortunatley can't confirm. I was told that you can get an add-on card for the VF80 that'll allow you to hook up an external drive, like a zip drive, to...

And I'm not even using a condenser yet! Just a good ol' SM-58. I wonder now how much of a difference I'd notice with a decent condenser, now that I have phantom power capability. :) I was thinking something along the lines of a Studio Projects C1, but maybe even something cheaper, like a B1...

I just picked up an M-Audio DMP3 from Guitar Center for $119!!! They were making some amazing deals at their big sale today! I really lucked out with this pre...it was the last one they had. I just hooked it up, and boy does it make a difference! Finally, after much frustration, the...

There are two different small diaphragm condenser (SC) models. There's an A-51SC, and there's just a plain old SC-1. The A-51 lists for about $100 more. Which one is it that you have??

I'm not convinced that it is overpriced...those recommended pricings vary LOTS from manufacturer to manufacturer, and mic to mic. The Oktava's are notorious for having very high advertised list prices. Like at GC or MF, when you see the 319 listed as a $500 or so mic, selling for $99. I'm...

I'm also wondering about this mic. I found a place where I can get one of these for $60! I hear there may be some quality control issues with ADK mic's. Is it worth it to buy one without testing it, for this price? Supposedly the mic lists for around $250, but that's according to the...

Just to be clear...So you're saying that adding a decent pre will help me circumvent the problem of getting either too little of the quiet sounds or too much of the loud sounds? (even with just my dynamic mic?). Or will I need both the pre AND a compressor to really eliminate this problem...

when??? I looked all over but couldn't find any info on the progress of the VTB-2 posted in the last 2 months! Does anyone know how it's coming along??? Originally it was supposed to come out in late January/Feb! I'm anxious!!! Also, are the new Meek's coming out anytime soon???

I've tried doing searches to find an answer to this question, but it's hard to type in something specific enough that you don't get a billion hits, but not so specific that you get none. Obviously I failed. So here goes... Basically, I was hoping someone could explain to me why it's important...

If you don't need the 12 channels, you can get a 6-channel version for $189 from 8thstreet.com, among other places. But then there's the old controversy about whether or not Beringer is actually just a copy of Mackie...I'm not sure what to think. Some say the pre's are actually exactly the...

www.music123.com also carries Studio Projects mics. I've ordered from them in the past...their service is great!
