Interesting bit regarding the Beatles. I don't think Hi-Z matters much as long as things are impedance matched, and your cables aren't long enough to cause degradation. I heard through music shop rumor once that the Doors recorded with high impedance. Largely I'm stoked to get my own...

First post in like a million years. I know. So this is intended as a bit of banter. I'm aware that dynamic mics can, and do end up being used to record not just vocals, but the lead vocals in studio. Some examples I can think of being U2, Michael Jackson, I want to say Pearl Jam has used...

I'll drop a recommendation for the Rode NTK. I owned one one upon a time. Sold it like an idiot, and regret it. Thought it sounded great, but was overkill for what I was doing at the time.

Yeah, I have used the Keyrig a little. Probably going to use it to synthesize/write some basic bass parts... got a friend to work on stuff with me in terms of guitar. Fun, but we've only just started trying to hash bits out. That AKG 200 is a really nice mic for what it is. Solid, sorta jack of...

Jim. That AKG is the one I bought from you a while back. I like it, a LOT. Thing is that I just want to expand the cabinet, experiment a little, and see what kind of sounds I can get from the RODE, or if it is worth buying. I have liked their other products in the past (NTK, NT3). AKG is good...

Hey all. Been a little while since I posted. I have managed to avoid gear whoring, funny enough. Small debate. I picked up a decent started condenser from a member here, and I love the thing...AKG... Model I forget. Sounds rather nice, and works very well when recording my friend's guitar stack...

58s are tough as nails. They tend to be heavy mid-range punchy in my opinion, and if you sing in lower registers, don't get *right* up on it. It is solid, and does sound good though. Hard to go wrong with one. You also won't kill it if you aren't gentle with it. I smushed two grilles on mine...

I smell a troll. :lol:

"without budget gear id have never bothered with this hobby, also this buy cheap by twice is maybe true" -This holds true for outdoors gear too. Lol. However, even though most of my stuff is entry level, I can get it to sound pretty good. No two pieces of gear do the same thing. No two mics...

Treating my "room" is pretty much limited to maybe hanging blankets, and building some portable panels. I live in an apartment, so causing permanent changes to the room are pretty much a no-no. Second my "room" is also a sort of "office" where the computers, printer etc. live. Typically where I...

Bought some gear from Jim Lad. Smooth transaction, no complaints. Would deal with again. Thumbs up from me!

I thought that was "Bone-skinny Bop?" Or it could just be my shitty hearing.

I don't know if what I have counts as a studio. Lol. I am running very minimalist at the moment. Some of the essential stuff is still en route to me for that matter. BUT I am putting together something that resembles a home studio for the purposes of home recording and composition. Also, because...

"Try to get yourself a pair of older higher end hi fi speakers and a small amp out a thrift or pawn shop" -This is a rather viable possibility. Right now, cans might actually be the better tool, as my "room" isn't treated. My gear sits next to my computer... but since my stuff is relatively...

Wow, I wish I had the tech experience of people like SouthsideGlen, or Mixmaster, or any of the other long timers in the audio-field. I can't even begin to speak with a level of amateur authority on any of this stuff :D It's ok if people agree to disagree guys. I started this thread to dig out...

Well, I got my cans today. They sound really nice for listening to professionally cranked out albums. Probably will make nitpicking tracks easier. Next up will be a set of monitors though, that way I have multiple tools at my disposal.

Nice and raw, like it should be. Reminds me of a lot of older BM groups, and this is a *good* thing. I'd bump the vocals up just a little, and see if you can crank the entire mix a little louder at that point. I hear Darkthrone, Xasthur, and perhaps a little Judas Iscariot or Clandestine Blaze...

"You should :lol:" Why? I'm not a drummer!

"i use linux for evvveerrryything i can" -Understandable. When I went Linux at first, I didn't look back!

Wow, axe to grind much? I didn't buy my Mac to record on, I record on my Mac because I bought it for everything else. I have run most major operating systems, and of them all, I tended to favor Linux and MacOS. I bought a Mac mini because it was super tiny for what it is, and space is at a...
