too bad:(
Acoustic guitar yes, but bought it mainly for vocals. Didn't add to my voice the way I had hoped. Then again I've got a rather high voice for a dude.
This thing is pretty much new:
I bought it new, and it arrived at my doorstep THIS VERY AFTERNOON!
I used the microphone a total of about 2 or 3 minutes. Not what I was looking for in terms of sound, so I have no use for it.
Comes with a nice case, a pop filter, a windscreen, a shockmount, a...
I've spent the last little while comparing the RNP to the DAV.
I've had very interesting results. If I had the money, I would keep both,
because I really think that in some instances the RNP would be better, while the DAV would be better in other applications.
I first tested my voice, in a...
ok so my DAV has arrived. It's just as good as in the samples I listened to, I am very pleased as well as very shocked that such a good-sounding preamp could cost so little, regardless of it's supposedly primitive design and cheap components. In fact it not only sounds great, but it sounds like...
this has to be the most poorly planned out spam I've ever seen. There isn't even any link, or even a reference to a site. In fact, this is kind of a bizarre thread in general.
EMU 0404
Works great, comes with a CDR with the drivers and software mixer.
PRICE:$45 +$10 shipping. (100 bucks new)
VENTURA GUITAR
This guitar I never use, don't know much about it besides that it is a vintage ventura acoustic guitar. It is not in perfect cosmetic shape, there are quite a few...
sure thing, found samples here. One slighly misleading thing is that some samples are slightly louder than others, so what I did was run them through REAPER and made them all the same level.
The only sample that I like on the same level as the DAV is perhaps the
UA 610.
Yeah I understand that the DAV should probably be cheaper than what it is, but for me personally, I don't care how "wire and gain" the thing is, after comparing vocals with a Great River, Avalon, a Manley Tube preamp, and a Neve Portico, I liked the DAV by far. Not that they are "better" it was...
Just bought a DAV BG1, don't have the financial freedom to own two amazing preamps at the same time.
Like the DAV BG1, as you most likely already know, the RNP has a cult following. And for good reason, I'm not going to lecture to you how exceptional this thing is. They go for $475 new, I'm...
to say you MUST have a matched pair of mics if you want to make a serious stereo recording? I've heard time and time again that you should use the same model of mic if you're using two mics to record guitar or piano. I usually never use the same mics on guitar or piano. In fact I find using a...
yeah I looked at the rackmountable one, but I don't have a rack to begin with, so I decided against it.
Either way, I've already bought the BG1, found one on ebay for $699 last night!
thanks guys
I'm am totally sold on the BG1, I just listened to femail vox on the DAV, and also through a Great River and was stunned to realize the DAV sounded bigger and more detailed. (Just my opinion of course!!!!)
I know that people here seem quite polarized about this thing and that there are plenty of topics about the BG1, but I have a few specific questions I'd like to ask.
It seems that everyone that has it is borderline fanatical about it:cool:
In fact, I was was just reading a topic over at...
