thanks everybody, i pretty much agree with everything that's been said. i guess i was looking for some other odd situations that people have used with good or unusual results. let me know if you think of ahything! thanks, :>saxman72<: ...oh yeah, and if you are recording the singer outside...

Okay guys, Many of you have looked at or answered my vocal recording question (which I pretty much knew), but what do you prefer for recording drums? A dry, dead environment, or a live environment? Just jogging your minds and getting some opinions. :> Thanks, :>saxman72<:

Spider, Wish I could tell you how they sound different, but I can't... Never tried the NT1. But the NT2 is "crisp" too. Definitely some HF hype. It's great for male vocals. A tad on the bright side for some ladies though (in my opinion. i like darker sounds). Go to...

I've used the ART MP and a dbx166 to record nylon guitars with pretty good results (with the computer in the room). However I was using an NT2 (Rode) and going to hard-disk. From what I checked out, looks like the CAD you're using should have enough output so the difference might be the 414 (I...

so who here prefers recording (vocals mostly) in a good live room, and who prefers recording in a dead room? and what are your reasons? saxman72

yup. a good sounding instrument, a good performance, the right mic, a smooth compressor, and a touch of chorus. do your recordings come out too thin, or are they boxy sounding?

thanks for the replies, guys. I've heard that you can get great results by putting twins on BOTH sides of the source too... well to let you know, I am returning the CAD VSM1. It's hard to do since it is an EXCELLENT mic. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great tube mic for under...

yeah, no kidding! I was once dating a pretty good looking girl who had a twin sister, but I never got together with both of them... at the same time! anyways, I'm looking for the best mic I can afford to record saxophones. I recently picked up a CAD VSM1 and a Neumann TLM193. Both are...

so what do they do with them after that? :> You know, I think the "mounting" system of that mic contributes the phallic look. If it used a clip that held in in the center, it probably wouldn't be mistaken for a pleasure toy!

I haven't checked out the Blue Tube yet myself, but some good guys with good ears have all said good things about it. ART's not a bad company these days (their old stuff is crap), but I think Presonus is generally a step above. I have an ART Dual MP that I've used with very good results so I...

Yup, I just got one used for $365 (which is more than most used, but in great shape). Guitar Satan sells them for about $450. Unfortunately, they are very difficult to find used, but I think that says a lot about them. [This message has been edited by saxman72 (edited 07-31-2000).]

Okay everyone, If you have a certain budget for microphones, would you rather get the best single mic you can afford, or two pretty darn good mics that will give you some flexibility? (for the same total cost) I can make a good argument for either side, but I'd like to hear what any of you...

Yes PC, For under $400 the NT2 is an excellent all around mic. I find it is exceptional on male voice and nylon guitars. I haven't tried it on steel string though. I used the NT2 as my main mic when I did tracking for a band called Clyde's Ride. I used it on male and female vocals, bass...

robn, Here's something you WON'T find on eBay. Research the Yorkville YSM-1's. Less than $250 a PAIR. I don't know anyone who ever wanted to sell these once they got them. Don't let the price fool you. These aren't cheap, low budget monitors. Of the ones you have listed, I've only...

There are 3 different versions of the 20/20. First is the basic 20/20 that is the plain passive speaker. You'd need to have/get a stereo power amp with these. Next is the little known version that causes confusion. They are the 20/20p, which I figure stands for "powered." These guys have...

Hi there, Does anybody know if there is a good product to switch between two passive monitors (post amplifier)? In other words, I want to have two sets of monitors and be able to easily switch between them without unpluging and repluging. thanks!

Okay, MSC is just off of HWY 101 one exit south from where 101 meets 280/680. It's on Tully Rd, and there is a Tully Rd exit so it's real easy to get to. Apparently they have hired some previous Sequential Circuts techs to do the vintage keyboard repair so they can definitely fix my Prophet5...

Hmmm... I don't know where that is, but I could try and help you find out. Is it in San Jose? Do they also work on analog synths? I have a bad oscilator in my Prophet5 that I need fixed. I'll look it up. By the way. Do you know anyplace in CA that rents good mics? I'm thinking of renting a...

Whoopsie, The previous message got submitted twice so this is what I've edited it to. Take it easy! [This message has been edited by saxman72 (edited 07-08-2000).]
