Oh, go on, make a joke on 'the whole mate thing,' I'm sure you'll have everyone in stitches...... :o

And my 'purpose' is to say the NS10s are useable, and that there are other speakers out there which are worse. Thanks for the 'benefit' of your 'long experience.'

Thanks for the pointers, everyone. They ended up just laying down scratch tracks just to finalize individual lines and phrasing, which they did together, so I just threw up an SM57 on each, which kept them fairly isolated and therefore easy to differentiate for nit picking harmonies. The trumpet...

By the way, the situation is a bit of a crap shoot as the only monitoring facilty is the headphones we are tracking with (AKG240). So time spent experimenting with different mics/confogurations is not really an option, more of a point and shoot situation. Recording with a Mackie 1602 to an HD24.

Drums, bass and keys done. Overdubbing the following: sax tpt trombone gtr vox last. Mics available: Milab C96b, AKG C1000 (pair), Beyer M88, Sennheiser e604, SM57/58 (numerous), Rode NT5 (pair). Sax melody lines will be done first, then tpt/trom will be done together. Any suggestions for...

Well, B'man did have a very good point - it's not the best basis for a recommendation. You leave him alone, he's my mate.

I did some mixes just yesterday on some NS10s (mk1, with modified crossover for slightly flatter response), and for the material I was handling (acoustic/vocal/percussion), they were just fine, great in fact. I admit that at the silly prices they are going for now used, you can find better. The...

Try Webster Chicago (although there's no sign of a model 30): http://www.webster-chicago.com/ This guy has the MODEL 288 manual, might be able to source you a manual for the 30: www.oldradioparts.com Jurassic Audio has some very detailed information on various models...

Elco would be the 'tidiest' method, and certainly the one I'd choose if I could find a cable quick and cheap, but if you're stuck with unbalanced 1/4", I wouldn't sweat it - noise will very unlikely be an issue even with an unbalanced connection. Elco's are cool though.

I hope you're not referring to the 'negging' thing, I've never negged anyone, I'm not sure I even know how to. Anyway, enough negativity from me. Glad we could reach an agree to disagree, cheers.

I will admit a wrong - I jumped on the fact that you'd more than likely copied a CD (for your own use). However, in retrospect, that was groundless because after a bit of thinking: Pirating is more (at least to me) like stealing, copying and selling on for self profit. I wouldn't have any guilt...

The question is moot, get over it.

Jeezuz, man, get laid, whatever it takes. What is it next, you've never copied a CD in yer 17 precious years on this planet?

Yes - Roundabout. The sound of the kit: the snare goes 'booong!' but it works); performance (Bruford melded jazz and rock, later becoming an exponent of Simmons electronic drums, which were popular at the time); interesting production: not the drum sound per se, but the song itself contains lots...

Jeezuz. The (cheap) VTB-1 with 72 dB gain and low noise floor is surely a good candidate.

Lovely guitar tone, and nice, crisp playing and feel. The only time it sounds a bit odd is the very beginning, where you tap the guitar once and you get the short breath of the reverb - that sounds distracting, otherwise either sounds OK to me. For this kind fluid arpeggiated playing, I'd be...

Just to add to this, and a tip I heard recently: plug one ear with your finger - that way you are really hearing it as a microphone does, seems to make sense. (Mike Nichols uses this technique apparently.)

Oh, and sorry to have you waste your time, Nod. It was partly facetious, partly curiousity - hence my inquiry. It did evoke a response, and thanks for that, although an answer (to the question) to help me understand this form of music better would have been great. To sing that fast is an...
