Not at all. He didn't like how I phrased it but I bet he understood exactly what I was trying to convey but chose to attempt to "tech shame" me anyway.

I find the EV N/D 468 has just more everything: a little more air, a little more beef and the mids really sound natural. Easy placement and excellent isolation. The e604 sounds a little veiled, like it is slightly muffled. E609 is better but feels a little hyped on top. Senn 421's are the bomb...

Perhaps it's the "vocal style"? Lips up against the pop screen to 3 feet away in one take sounds like an impossible situation to deal with regardless of equipment. How can a preamp be set to track at a few inches and at several feet and have any chance of giving a good result? Maybe stop dicking...

Well, if it sounds like a bad idea then feel free to not do it. It works and actually I learned it while working for one of the major players in American made drums. As with any tool, if you use it like a twat you will get negative results. I have done it dozens of times over the last 2 decades...

I really like the BLUE Kickball mic on floor toms. It has a really open sound with tons of beef to the low end without sounding tubby. Kinds big though so placement can be tough. Also, the Electro Voice N/D 468 is a fantastic choice of all toms and it is wicked easy to place and excellent off...

If you get too much buzz from sympathetic ringing you can detune all 4 key rods adjacent to the snare. Also, most people don't hit the snare bed area with a heat gun to shrink the wrinkles but it works pretty good. Tune the head to about where you want it and carefully heat the snare bed area...

Look at the track in the mixer. There is a little icon that looks like a yellow speaker in profile. That is the monitor button. Click it and see if that solves it.

Google Room EQ Wizard. It is a freeware (okay, donation) program that allows multiple types of analysis. You will need a proper measurement microphone. The Behringer ECM 8000 model works great and there is even an included calibration file in the software. You will find out, however, that using...

What you said was that I was dumb for having an opinion that differs from yours. I'm not butthurt, I'm simply returning an insult to a narcissist that is prone to douchebaggery and fuckery of almost incomprehensible dimension. I do so like our online squabbles, Greggie. I do hope someday to see...

I love the smell of Gregoise le Bloodshit pontificating. Smells like...insecurity. You see boys and girls, Greg L loves only himself and if you disagree with him, you are dumb or inept or some other negative attribute. Even if you were to be exactly like him in every way he will still hate you...

I love Zildjian. They sound like what a cymbal should sound like. To me, Sabians (AAX and HHX) are just Zildjians with a different stamp, except for all the goofy sound effect shit. Paiste...hmm, the "klonk" of a cracked school bell mixed with a blast of broken glass. Some of the older series...

Yeah, couldn't figure out how to post a double quote. Any hoo...

Thank you for clearing that up for me, gentlemen. Now I have a reason to pick up a re-amp box.

But it is a transformer, so running it backwards (i.e. Line level, high impedance) in through the output and taking the output from the input jack into the amp should yield a higher level, low impedance signal, right? Whatever function is provided by the transformer in one direction has to be...

I crash my 20" Zildjian A custom ride all the time, have for 2 decades now. It should be cracked? WTF are you hitting it with?

But line out is not instrument level, so wouldn't it be better to run the line out signal into the "out" side of a standard DI box and run the "in" side from the DI into an amp for solving impedance issues? A DI box is just a transformer so it should work both directions, or am I high again?

Create a MIDI track and find the controller in the pulldown. You might have to go to VST connections or Device setup in the devices tab on top. Sorry I can't be of more help, I don't MIDI that much.

The Fish Fillets. Blockfish is a good compressor and the Spitfish is an excellent de-esser. I have had problems with Variety of Sound crashing in Cubase 7 (64 bit). I haven't tried J-Bridger yet so maybe that will fix it.
