No, not yet -- though I've only had one chance to really use the Art with vocals, whereas I've been having fun messing with guitar, bass and so on through it. I've been able to use my guitar through it clean, without getting unwanted distortion, even though for some reason I get a tiny bit...

Burak, Cool, live working links to someone using the Rode NT1 -- and someone that admits to not being a pro at this at best! :-) Okay, mind telling me me what type of sound card you're using, and whether you've got your vocals going through anything in particular? An Art Tube MP...

T.J.Hooker, Yeah, placement experimentation is definately on my list of things to do -- but our apartment is TIIIIIIINY. I'm not too keen on singing outside for the neighbors either. :-) I'm thinking of getting those foam panels or something, maybe a blanket to "booth" me and the mic in...

<< What are you monitoring with? Are you knew to recording? Have you experimented with other micing positions? >> ::gulp:: Preparing for the embarassment... I have a Sound Blaster Live soundcard, and I use a pair of Cambridge speakers w/subwoofer. Not the most impressive setup by...

Thanks dabluesman, that does give me some ideas. Albeit, I don't play blues (more like grungy industrial verging on metal), but it still forces me to start thinking beyond just the pedal itself. Not having the best time so far with it (I swore I wouldn't complain about the GT2's inability to...

I use the Art Tube MP's 1/4" Output. Well, I use a cardboard circle with pantyhose.... will that still keep out the moisture? As for what I'm recording into -- just pretty much the computer's Input after the Art Tube. Unfortunately, my Output cord from the MP to the computer is an...

Bassman, ::PHEW:: Thanks for the reassurance. INPUT gives the Tube sound? Dang, I got my wires crossed there. Okay, tha settles one problem. My other is that I'm using a tiny cardboard circle with pantyhose over it as a pop-filter. I can't currently get right up on the mic, but at least...

The Fostex mic was a turd, not a condensor. :-) Nah, it was just a little "M301 Unidirectional Fostex Moving Coil imp.600," thingy. I remember spending $400 on that multitracker, and it mostly sounded like crap, and that mic sure didn't help. Thus my fears when I upgraded to a mic-pre...

I just upgraded from a free Fostex mic, to a Rodes NT1 and an Art Tube MP. I totally dolled up a bathroom closet shelf (that's right, I'm a *real* HOME recording musician type, :-) -- by including pillows & towels so that there are no reflections, and I recorded at mere inches away from the...

Thank you everybody whom responded to my question. I ended up buying the Rodes NT1. Now that I've got it and my Art Tube, I get to have those fun, "I can't hear the $300 difference!!!!" sessions. But that's for another post. ~Dakota Goldsworth

I know, I know -- it's not the Pod. BUT; I've seen a billion favorable posts and reviews in various places on the GT2, and I was wondering if anyone else out there might have this lil' distortion box and if they have any favored settings for it. ~Dakota Goldsworth

Okay, I've got my Rode NT1 and Art Tube MP -- I'm all for playing around and getting that "perfect" setting, but after playing around with the MP on guitar and bass -- I just wanna plug-in and have a workable setting for my Rodes NT1. Anyone got any personal favs for various vocal styles of...

Okay, okay -- I know the Pod 6 is THE amp emulater lately, but after looking around I've discovered one of the next best for cheap is the GT-2. I'm not here to debate that, because I would be the first to agree that the Pod 6 runs laps around the GT-2 -- HOWEVER; I'm wondering if anyone has the...

Hot damn, You people sure can dance around a question until no end without giving some answers. ANYONE OWN or have HEARD the differences between the AT3525 and the Rodes NT1? I'm starting to lean towards the Rodes NT1, because I've seen more positive things about it, but I figured I give...

Heh, man. You ask about the AT3525 and the Rodes NT1, and you get responses about the Oktava MC319 and the Marshall MXL2001P. I was kinda hoping I was at the end of a dark tunnel here. :-) ~Dakota Goldsworth

The Oktava MC319, eh? I'll have to keep my eye out at places like eBay for that one, at the extra $80. I've found the OKTAVA MK219, which supposedly lists for $599.99 -- but I haven't check into it. Thanks for the suggestions. ~Dakota Goldsworth

Well, pretty much the $200 average the AT3525 or the Rode NT1 would cost me. I'm definately getting an Art Tube MP, so there's $100 already -- but I've got $200 left after that where I'd be able to invest in a good vocal mic. Not mind-blowing, just good. I've been recording on the free Fostex...

I'm about to purchase the Art Tube MP, along with a large diaphragm, studio condensor for mostly vocals. I've done enough research to debunk the Shure 58 as a vocal recording mic -- but I'm not too keen on what the specs differences means in terms of vocal recording quality. Any opinions on...

What about the AT3525, or the AT3527? Any opinion on them as recording mics? ~Dakota Goldsworth

Anyone got any opinions on the AT3527? It seems it's even closer to *my* price-range, but if it's not worth it, compared to the AT3525, than I might as well be patient and save up or something. ~Dakota Goldsworth
