Ha, they're all fat bastards who've scoffed too many pies MS. And one's got a three piece trap with some hats and a ride. I've been planning on five feet each but could probably get away with four. That'd bring it down to twenty feet. :)

I've got an 822. It often gets used at low settings before the three band limiter when I'm mastering the all analog stuff. I don't mind it at all. I've never used it tracking though.

Three of the close mikes are likely to be ribbon's Tim and I wanted to minimse the bleed of any opposing players through the back of their figure 8's which I figure could happen in a circle arrangement. That's the main reason for thinking about a shallow crescent - which would also give some...

Just wondering if anyone's got any helpful advice on this? Next month I'm off to do a live recording of a five piece country blues band going all acoustic in some yet to be decided country location over a three or four days. The plan is to have them all lined up in the same room, maybe in a...

I don't know that changing your recording device is going to improve your results to the extent you might think over what's possible with your existing BR1180. Perhaps looking at your recording and monitoring environment first might get you a long way there - mike, monitors and the room(s)...

That's pretty much what I was thinking. $375 for a 1" 24 with Dolby S in good nick? Someone should grab it if JJ doesn't want it. Dunno about the DA's though. Digital tape's kind of a 'no benefit' option to me these days. I read an interesting report from a tech recently that mentioned that the...

Hah Nate, first thing I did when I got out of hospital from 07's bike prang was to get in my car with a friend, go down to the music shop, buy a cheap drum kit, set it up in the attic then start to figure out how to play it. My justification was that I needed movement to aid the healing...

Johnny, isn't the MSR16 16 tracks on 1/2" and the MSR24 24 on 1"? The track width on the MSR24 is then likely wider than the MSR16, yes? If the price is right for you it'll probably be okay. Mind you, it's then 1" tape stock? $$$$$$ :rolleyes:

Probably not Cory. I guess they're just clearing out the last of the inventory from wherever they have it and that'll be it for the cassettes. :)

Ah, no Cory I don't. Maybe some retail therapy and / or some playing'll help? This week I picked up a couple of old Shure 849 condensers for a song off eBay and yesterday I took a walk down to the music shop, came back and reskinned my drum kit with some new Remo's. Thursday night I jammed...

Fostex still have the X-12 Fostex X-12 I think it's the last one out there. :)

I'm about to upgrade my no name kick dynamic to one of these two. I'm looking for a faithfull reproduction of the actual kick plus occasional use for male vocals. Mostly it'll be used to record low volume kick in old school jazz, folk & blues styles. Both'll do it as far as I can see and both...

Ah yes, that, Daniel. I remember a post about that whole thing a few months ago, yes? I did a guitar and vocal recording of a cat playing a bunch of tunes directly into a six head VHS for me to learn about four years ago that had the limiter function embedded in it and quite liked what it did...

Hey Judson, my first home studio used a 1/2" 8 track reel machine and a stereo hi-fi VHS for mix down / mastering. We then dubbed cassettes off the VHS to sell. We used to do indie on it and it worked just fine. Mind you, it was '92. Digital in those days was bad and expensive. I didn't have a...

I've got one I've had new since 1995 Jeff. It's hardly ever been used since then. I used to use it at home to play back DAT masters that were made in the studio we used to run when DAT or 1/4" was about it for masters. It has quite a nice sound but offers nothing that hard disk or cd recording...

I was wondering if any of you could help me midi up the keyboard I got for Christmas?... If I can't solve it I guess I'll just have to use in on the next all acoustic four track one mike Portastudio ep? :o

Jim, those 12" powered speakers will be fine for what you want. Most of those Chinese plastic jobbies now are. I run our four piece acoustic delta blues market band that plays outside off a little Chinese Yamaha PAS300 portable pa Yamaha PAS 300 and it does just dandy with three vocal mikes, my...

Also, maybe this guy can help Hermann, it looks like he's already managed it okay? http://www.mikeritcheastudios.com/rec.htm

I don't know why it won't record on the slave Hermann and I can't help you there but in regards the MON800, I have one to sum the two outputs from my sync'd BR1600's down to the CR500 master cd recorder and to drive the monitor amplifier and it works just fine in that regard. It's probably your...

Minimalist kc, just one man and one mono analog synth going freestyle for 30 minutes at a time. And aye, rOn.KnOb's nothing like Donald Deep Jeffs. After all, Donald's into all digital recording... :)
