    favourite tom mics?

    EV N/D468's are working really well for me.

    FA: Ramsa WR-S4412s and Rane MS 1b

    Hi All, Up for auction is a great little board and single pre. Both items are in great condition and will serve you well as they have me. Ramsa WR-S4412s 12x4x2 (note the "s" at the end. Channels 9-12 are stereo line level channels)...

    best sax mic

    The sax can be a bear to mic often times. I think you'd best spend your time trying different mic positions to find the right sound. I play tenor saxophone, and maybe I'm too picky, but it takes me a good while to be satisfied with the sound. That said, I have had very good success with omni...

    Electro-Voice 635A

    I'd bet it would be good for recording, but for live, it's omni-directional pattern might give you some feedback problems. If your taking suggestions, I just tracked a live gig where I took a chance and used a EV 468 on trombone. It did REALLY well. Had a nice edge that helped it cut through...

    MSH-1A matched pair test

    It's pretty impressive that you've managed to get everything in a XLR connector. Not to mention the sound quality to dollar ratio. I'll be buying a pair soon.

    MSH-1A matched pair test

    Nice playing! I also like what I'm hearing in the mics. Two questions: 1. Do you or anyone know how this version compares to the original Tape Op design? (I have a pair of those and just curious if there's any difference) 2. There seems to be a high noise floor for this application. I doubt...

    m-eq 230 and d-eq 230

    I agree. I had a MEQ for a time and found that my system sounded better without it than with it even when properly adjusted. The MEQ will likely create more noise and phase problems than it's worth. Sorry, can't comment on the DEQ.

    MC012 Scott Dorsey Modification?

    Glad to see it worked out. For the archives, I did the exact same thing a short while ago and I was floored with the results. It's a good kit with good directions and great results. Made a nice difference in my drum tracks. Had to use one on a clarinet track recently too- not bad. Glad the mod...

    earthworks qtc 40

    I think EW is still trying to shake the reputation from the earlier years. Their rather quiet now, though that wasn't always the case.

    earthworks qtc 40

    I recently received a Earthworks promotional CD from Full Compass that featured the QTC 40 against other EW mics as well as the QTC 40 against a couple LDC Neumann's (I think it was the U87 and the U47). I got to say I was VERY impressed at the QTC40 in a female vocal application. Perhaps not...

    sitting in the mix

    I thought this one was handy. I haven't read too many books on the subject, but I thought it did a good job in my case. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0872887235/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_k2a_1_img/002-7175290-3412863?%5Fencoding=UTF8 good luck

    preamp vent/rant

    I'm with you. I felt the same way starting out. My frustrations started with the FMR RNP. I heard many great things on some boards then others had nothing good to say. I found ebay to be an asset. I'd buy something, try it for a while, when I thought I was outgrowing it, I'd sell it for close...

    Logic Express?

    Perhaps it's because I'm so used to Protools, but I found the learning curve with Logic Express really steep. I'd bet it's a fine program once you get to know it though. Good luck,

    Second that! Also, I just used them on a horn section for a live DVD shoot. Worked REALLY well. Just trying to point out they're a versatile mic.

    It's pretty nice, though I wish I had more time with it. Seemed pretty fool proof.

    Need Help Fast!!! Alesis HD24 input problems

    Thanks for all the help everyone. It turned out to be an unplugged ribbon cable on the A/D card inside the unit. Once replugged, it performed flawlessly. The gig went well.
