You should always mix with everything in. I only solo something when I want to hear it by itself, or if I am hearing something in the track (pops/clicks etc). But when comes to mixing the song, you shouldn't process something when it's solo'd because then when you put it back in the mix, things...

Ahh...the 141s. Yes, I have used those. They are very nice. Compared to the 81s I would have to say the 141s blow them out of the water when it comes to accurate sound reproduction. If you can believe that. I still like the 81s on a piano, but the 141s add depth that nothing else I have heard...

Dude, the VP88 is an awesome sounding mic. I love that thing. It's pricey, but well worth it.

Not a fan of open sourcing, huh? Well that you might as well stop using this forum. This is open source at it's best. Sure, there are flaws, but the next person comes along and fixes it. If it were your way, it would be just like Windows and the virus problems that OS has had. The problems would...

Just play with the placement until you find the sweet spot for your guitar/room/mic. As far as using the 58 and the 27 at the same time on your guitar, if it sounds good, why not?

Why is that?

an exapnader/gate is different from a compressor. while a compressor is keeping a threshold for anything that goes above a certain point, the expander/gate will take away noise when it's quiet. like when a guitar cabinet is humming and hissing when the guitar player isn't playing. you set the...

One mic can do the trick. I have used one mic for my porno movies before too, and it was all i needed. Then I ripped of the beatles for mixing and put all the live sounds in the left channel and overdubs in the right. IT was sweet.

Thanks RAK. And dementedchord - I wasn't fucking with anyone. I was helping the guy out.

It depends on the source and the sound you want. Play with it. You will figure it out.

Ok, lets just set up one example of how to use a compressor. Let's say you are recording a vocalist. During the verses he is singing quietly, so you want to turn up the mic to pick up the most optimal signal going to tape/disk. But then, the chorus comes and he is screaming balls out. Bam, you...

Ok, so you understand what it's for, just not how to use it. Which compressor did you get by the way? You have Threshold, Ratio, Gain and Knee settings, correct?

I bought a guitar before I knew how to play it. I bought microphones before I knew how they worked. Everyone needs to start somewhere. He probably knew he needed it, but not exactly what for. That is the beauty of product marketing - solving a problem you don't even know you have.

Sorry to do this, but I love wikipedia these days: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_level_compression

Like RAK said, we know Brunner. He is a good guy. His studio rules. He also didn't hire me after my first interview. :(

I don't think anyone can answer this question unless you are present for every single session. It would be like asking what % of mainstream recordings use a U87 on vocals. Sure you might be able to tell on home recordings when a DI is used, but in the mainstream production conscience community...

Are the wires actually broken off the solder points?

So you need a stereo headphone extension cable. That would be the best.

I have seen a lot of questions of this board about stereo/mono recording/mixing. I thought that anyone who would like to learn should take a look at what wikipedia has to say before posting questions about it. The descriptions are very detailed. Stereo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereo...

Yes, I work at Shure in the Product Development Division (As does RAK). As for the Green Bullet Product manager..hmmm, I am not sure about him, as this product was introduced in the 50s. I will ask around and see if he/she is still kicking, but I highly doubt it. It is an awesome mic though.
