When I read the title of this thread that is the first name that came to mind. I can think of a lot of more obscure/unknown slingers out there who deserve notice, but when it comes to somebody who everybody and their brother has heard and does not know their name ------ he is it. Right on...

Any updates anyone???????????????????????????????

If you are using a mic preamp to run a ribbon mic, and in turn have this preamp going into your mixer, which is also running a bunch of condensor mics at 48v, can the phantom power go from the mixers xlr's out to the preamp and ruin the ribbon mic? (This is probably one hell of a run on...

I try to put my mind around all the the things this guy recorded, and it is allmost unfathonable. How can just one guy be behind the mics and boards for all these great recordings? From all those Blue Note's to "A Love Supreme". Is the dude just plain and simply God? I mean, what the fuck? It's...

I have a couple of these that I bought new about 4 years or so ago. I see that on ebay they do not even hold half the value of what I paid for them. I think they are pretty nice mics, for the price, but certainly not my best. They seem to need a lot of gain for them to really come alive. The...

As long as we are going to make stuff up..................oh never mind, whats the point. Anybody here got some sound advice on mic stand colors. Black looks cheap, silver looks pro, but so common. Do you think a boom mic stand looks best against a wood table, or a more modern one. What's the...

What microphones are best at recording the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over............................................. ...

By the way, anybody who votes here for clapton based on his 70's output needs to go buy the first 3 or 4 JJ Cale albums and do some rethinking. Clapton spent the whole decade ripping off JJ's songs and style.

I don't know why DJL just didnt get the fact that all of us were tired of his PMI rants. If he just eased back on those, no one would really mind him. For example, I have a had a few run ins with Reggaesoldier, and we have traded some words here and there. Because I don't badger the guy every...

Yes, And a couple of ribbons. My beyer M500 is the bomb for $160. Also, it's not really talked about much here, but having a whole slew of cheapie vintage mics is important too. Some of those old Calrads and Electro Voices might not have the clarity/detail/quiet of the holy grail mics often...

I was in the same quandry as you, and I spent hours on the search function here researching cheap pre-amps. I wrote down all the ones you mentioned plus others and did google and ebay searches etc. From what I gathered in these many hours was that unless you want to spend over a grand, there...

Unless you have the biggest piece of shit guitar ever made, moving from .009's to .010 should in no way cause the neck to go totally out of whack. I've bought guitars with 8's on em and gone to 12's with no problems, outside of a little adjustment at the bridge.

Some of you may know these cats, but some might not, and they are worth knowing about. Don Cabellero - if Rush morphed into Metallica, got even more complex, and ditched singers and guitar solos. Great stuff http://www.geocities.com/brikelly/doncab/ Slint - some say their Spiderland lp of the...

Steve Albini (Nirvana, PJ Harvery, Low, Pixies, pretty much everybody in Indie rock and also the guitar player for one of the best bands around Shellac) ....has some nice mics with some funny/entertaining/informative descriptions of each at his site...

Wow, I picked up one used on ebay a few weeks back and it sounds so nice on most everything I have tried. I think it's the first mic I have ever heard on my voice that I actually like, and I have a bunch of differant condensors and dynamics. I can't believe how rich and open the thing is. Every...

A slingerland jazz kit mic'd real well.

Rap and hip hop is not the music I deal with, but if it's sonically new and lush with layers, I can really get into it (Dr. Octagon, DJ Spooky, the first Cypress Hill, Paul's Boutique, De La and Tribe...blah blah blah). Here is a great tip that will make your beats stand way the fuck out...

My manual says it has 66db gain. My alesis board that I usaully use says in the manual that it has 76db's of gain. I am no expert at all in this department. But, when I cranked the gain all the way on my alesis, the m500 did not like it. I can crank the gain on my DMP3 just as high (at least as...

1. A couple of Shure sm57, Shure sm58 or a dynamic of that ilk. (ev 635a's are a good sleeper mic on ebay) 2. A matched pair of small diaphram condensors. 3. One large diaphram condensor For more color/later 1. A tube mic 2. A ribbon mic (beyers are a good affordable staring point)...
