Gary Moore NEVER closed his mouth while playing, there's also a very average blues idiot named Vasti somethingorother that apes the Hendrixism's so overbearingly it doesn't matter what or how well he's playing.

vintage sound, rich sound, analog sound I'm going to assume you're talking the heyday of analog 70's sound. I'm trying for that myself and have come up with a basic plan. To my way of thinking if you want that sound you have to do it as it was done. Analog city my friend. Find a good four...

Thanks sjjohnston for the straight up answer. much appreciated.

hahaha touche'... however STILL a part of nearly every major recording studio to this day.

Hello from Seattle/Tacoma! I'm Dave I live in the Seattle/Tacoma area, I'm a struggling musician (is there another kind?) and dealing with a recently awakened quest for good rich sound.

I discovered dbx noise reduction quite by accident recently upon purchase of an old TEAC cassette deck. I've been playing around with it and am extremely impressed. To my ear comparing it to Dolby B, dbx is a revelation. It seems to have fallen off the consumer radar shortly after entering...

Thanks to all Thanks everyone. Seems to be and issue of raw mic signal/impedance in this particular deck. All is well, thanks again!

The best I can figure is that one must use some sort of preamp or signal modification before going to the mic inputs on these decks. I ran a mic through a second deck with center mic feature out and into the V-400x, same mic, same tape, same set up and a beautiful recording was produced.

Hmmm... now that you've mentioned the meters. They accurately performed in-line with the stereo so that would make me suspect the mic inputs themselves.

amp tone vs. pedal tone ANY degradation of signal should be avoided, chances are if you need that many pedals (*there are exceptions ala' Nels Cline) you have the wrong amp. Effects (in my humble) should be used sparingly as spices to accent and bring out the best tone from the amp and...

two thumbs WAY up for Rory.

As a song WRITER I'd have to nominate Paul Weller (The Jam,Style Council)

Yes I was using an adapter on the Shure. I just repeated the experiment with a super-cheap Radio Shack mic equipped with a 1/4" jack instead of xlr with the same result.

No offense Alan but I'm new here and didn't realize you couldn't delete an entry, otherwise I would have. Thanks for your response.

*mic signal too raw?

*Further testing with stereo system produced a beautiful recording of some old vinyl. More confused than ever as I've tested the mic separately as well with good results... anyone?

New member and tinkering with an old TEAC cassette deck V-400x. Can't seem to get a clean recording at any level. Made several recordings of voice, acoustic guitar and amplified guitar. (single mic, left channel only Shure SM58- Maxell XLII tape) Never redlining during recording but almost...
