chameleon and other pre's Let me add this food for thought, only a year ago I was recording with an Alesis studio 32 console and a Joe Meek VC3. I was reading Tape Op like a mad man and dreaming of all this High End gear. The recordings I was making sounded pretty good to me and a few others...

chameleon 7602 Howdy, The 7602 is built pretty solid. The controls are smooth, the unit itself is very heavy. It looks like it was built by hand, not on an assembly line. I like the fact that it comes with the power supply, rack mount ears included. Right out of the box I quickly set it up...

chameleon labs 7602 Hello, I purchased the 7602 from Guitar Center on a trial basis. Heres what I've found I used it on a male vocal and a female vocal for spec ads, (I do jingles for TV/Radio) I also used it on a snare drum for a ballad. Where I used brushes on the drum and it sounded very...

budget pres Im not sure if the Presonus MP20s qualify for "budget pres" I guess that depends on your finances. Anyway, I have 2 of them, I purchased used for around 350.00 ea. They sound great very clean, great for anything I've recorded. Also, the service with Presonus is excellent. I just...

Does anybody know anything about the MOTU 1224? My question is: Im trying to route all the channels 1-8 to output thru the Mainouts 1-2 of the MOTU. Im trying to do away with my Alesis Studio 32 console, this is how I currently monitor the channels. I use seperate mic pres all going into the...

wiring length Thanks for the reply Makes

I have a 25' Mogami snake I just made to go from my drum room to my control room, I used all Neutrik gold connectors. My mic cables are Mogami quad cables also with Neutrik connectors. Im wondering at what length do you start to notice (if at all) signal degredation? My total run from mic to...

Cable If your handy with a solder iron: go to your local electronics supply and buy mogami quad cable, Belden has a quad cable as well but Im not sure what its called at the moment. I get my Mogami quad for around 76 cents a foot, thats cheap. Buy Neutrik XLR connectors and your set. They run...

Ua 610 So after reading all the replies no one ever commented on the UA 610. At least I didnt see any. I recently purchased an M610, the basic pre no compressor. I have been using Presonus MP 20's with Jensen Transformers and Burr Brown Op amps. They sound pretty darn good. All around nice...

Has anyone had any experience with the new 4110 pre's from UA?

YES! 4033's I took a recording class at my local tech (Nashville) We had the opportunity to use alot of different mics, most of the classics i.e 414's, SM 81's, Neumann mics, etc etc... I at the time had a CAD E350, after hearing the 4033's I immediately sold my CAD and purchased a pair of...

mic pres Here's another option for you, though I agree completely with API 312's for drums. If your wallet aint too thin then go for API's definitley! If money is a factor try some MP20's from Presonus. I have 2 units, for a total of 4 pre's. They have the Jensen Transformers in them and I...

drum kit Youd be surprised at what has been recorded through the years, card board boxes and drums cases have been used for kick drums. A little eq and you have a pretty good sounding kick! My point: buy a mismatched kit if you need to from ebay or pawn shops, just look for drums that have...

Best Kick Mic Roel, My suggestion to you would be a Beta 52. I have one, and a D112, Beyer M380, a Sennheiser 421 and an old EV RE 20. Like some of the other posts have already stated, its realy a matter of what your going for. I'd say in general though if you only have one to choose from...

DBX Fan I have 2 DBX 160A's , I got them on ebay for less than 300 each in excellent condition. I love them, excellent for anything really, as long as you use them in a musical way (thats a relative term I suppose). I plug my mics (usually AT 4033's or SM 57's) directly into the micpre (XLR)...

vocal double take I agree with your posts and thanks for them! The sound is certainly an effect. I will use it sometimes on certain sections of a tune for that purpose or to achieve that certain "vibe". I have been recording a thin voiced singer that doesnt like to double track. Im trying to...

scrub a dub Hey Bartman, Id say unless you want your drums and recordings to sound like 1987 country songs Id leave the gates and "scrubbing" alone. The whole feel and sound of a drum kit is just that, it's a kit, meaning several drums lending sonic qualities to each other, if they are tuned...

Hi there, Im wondering what is the status quo for tracking vocals these days. I personally like to record the vocal twice, making the singer sing it twice. Of course this is not a rule. My writing/recording buddy doesnt like to cut tracks twice on anything! I like to double track guitars and...

Akg D 1000 E Hi, I have one of these mics as well and was looking for info on it too. I can tell you this, I have seen it used on the bottom of snare drums, in live situations, I saw it on a Led Zeppelin DVD I have. I mentioned this mic to an engineer friend (he engineered the Camouflage...

Hi, I use Sonar with motu 1224. I record in 24 bit, pretty much everything I do is "live" recording ie: real drums/guitars/vocal etc. Old school but into a computer. Here's my question: Whenever I mix to 2 track wav file I lose quality. Heres my method: I select all my tracks, then go to file...
