I may be going against the grain on this one but I have the MXL's and thought the sound was decent but a little "hollow". I sprung for a couple of Audio-Technica AT3035's (street price - $199.00 ea.) and I couldn't be happier! I know these are only double the cost of the other "cheapies"...

view from a newbie - Really! I read this thread with a lot of interest as I probably would be classed as one of those who couldn't tell the difference etc etc... Just to summarize the thoughts running through my audiologically challenged brain as I read the posts (and the acrimony): I...

Where's the beef??? So where can I view the aforementioned article? Is it a print article or cyber based? Thanks, Steve

Hey, thanks for all the input. I'm still assimilating it all! I see that this may take some experimentation but at least I now know where to start. :) Regards, Steve

I am going to be recording several duets on classical guitar. Typically, I use 2 mics in an X-Y stereo configuration to record solo pieces. Incidentally, I record from a distance of 3 to 3-1/2' if that has a bearing. I should add that I will be playing both sides of the duet on different...

Thanks. That explains why I keep reading that such and such can also be used as a direct box. Regards, Steve

Sorry, I really did look for an answer. Simple question, I think. What exactly, is a "direct" box. I've heard the term used in conjunction with pre-amps. What's the difference? Regrds, Steve

FYI, There is a long article in the March issue of Recording (I think) magazine that is really high on the Gefell 930. You might pick up an issue because I think the author mentions some of the other mics you are looking at. Regards, Steve

Nuemann, any model. You can't go wrong. Starts about a grand each. Actually, I'll ask the questions that the more experienced generally will: 1) What are you recording? 2) How many things (people/instruments) are you recording at once (live performance or 1 at a time)? Stereo of mono? 3)...

After reading the replys so far, I am forming the opinion that while matching is preferred, it is by no means the only way to go and therefore it is probably not quite as important, in most situations, as mic companies would like you to believe. For those doing stereo micing with different mics...

hmmm... Makes sense, all of it. I hadn't thought about the effect on the stereo field. I also see the point about using completely different mics. That was what prompted my question. I was doing an A-B comparison of a new mic I just bought (AT 3035) with my other cheapies (MXL67V and Shure...

I've looked elaewhere in this forum for the answer and I cannot find it. My question is simple; How important is it to use a matched set of mics for stereo recording? In my case, I record classical guitar if this has a bearing on the question. Is there a benefit other than the obvious one...

Hey Dave, Get over there if you can. They have extra T-shirts. I stood in line last night, in the cold, with about 1500 others and got one. I went back today to actually buy something and lo and behold, they still had T-shirts. I got a second one as I wasn't wearing the first. I also...

Dave, I thought this was easier than continuing on the other thread. The new Guitar Center is scheduled to open tomorrow, Thursday, Feb. 26 at 7pm, I believe. There is a big grand opening thing with giveaways, cheap prices, etc. It is located in the same shopping center as Mars Music was...

Hey, Dave in Toledo! Dave, Is that Toledo, as in Ohio? If so, I live in Sylvania Just curious, Steve PS Are you going to the grand opening of the new Guitar Center?

Hi cellardwellar, Thanks again. Now that I've found this board, I will be back on a regular basis. There have been many questions about the MR-8 on the other forum I frequent. I think I'll post this URL. It's a classical guitar forum :cool:. I have used the MR-8 for about a year and...

Hey Cellardweller!! Many thanks. The info you linked me to was showing as "URL not found" last night and I guess that's why I was so frustrated. I've done the procedure with one minor exception. I copied the file to the CF card with a reader, not with the USB cable. The one thing I hadn't...

Hi, As you can see, I am new to this forum. I assure you that I did a search before posting but was unable (for whatever reason) to find the answer to what should be a very simple question. How do you load in the software upgrade for the MR-8??? The .pdf file alluded to in a couple of...
