    Where do you pan your drums?

    Man, you guys sound like a bunch of wussies! ;) The first thing I notice is that many people have their drums panned audience perspective. That drives me nuts. The second thing is that when I listen to "commercial" CDs, toms are generally not narrow in the mix. Fills travel around the...

    Yeah, all of these mics are pretty noisy, especially for measurement mics.

    I'm sure any of those will be equivalent. For better or for worse.

    DI bass methods

    I've had the sansamp for about 6 years. Its a great unit. I'd highly recommend it. It sure beats your hosa DI. It wont do the really clean sound, but if you like a little hair with your low end, its great.

    New Vocal Mic for my collection.

    I think you can get a 4060 used for about that price. I'd second the SM7 as well. The 4060 is a great little tube mic.

    room mics for drums......what's best?

    I use audix tr-40s (omnis), sm-58s, and sm-91s (the 91 can also double as a nice complementary kick drum mic).

    Who uses Omni's?

    They're my go to OH pair. I usually use them on acoustic guitar as well. One in front of the guitar and one up near the players head/shoulder. Every now and again I'll use one on vocals but not as the main mic. Its usually a ways off catching the ambient stuff.

    Double compression?

    The limiter is more noticable, and if you used it before the compressor, you wouldn't need the compressor (nothing peaks above the limiter). The compressor first smooths the wave out, then the limiter gets any stray peaks that are still too loud.

    Double compression?

    When dealing with a player (especially drummers) that are all over the place, I may compress the snare with a 1.5 or 2 to 1 ratio first, and then have a limiter with a higher threshold to tame those really stupid hits that are loads louder than everything else.

    Breedlove Revival or Martin Reissue?

    I own a concert body breedlove. Its about 15 or so years old, spruce top, myrtle-wood back and sides. I'm not familiar with the current line-up of breedloves, but I do know that they now make a cheap version, haven't played them but am skeptical. The one I own is amazing. The strings are...

    Help me appreciate acoutsic guitars

    Thats me! Haha... But seriously, I do feel that there are some really nice guitars that are even less than $500. Someone earlier mentioned seagull. Those are THE nicest guitars less than $500 (for the standard S6). They're hand made, and the wood is between 500-1000 years old. Theres a...

    recording Indie rock

    I think you misunderstand my comment. Gavin Degraw, Hanson, Hootie, Bush, etc... are JUST music. They are either piggybackers on a trend or created for the sake of making money. They play music, but generally lack any cultural or societal or musical meaning. Then we have the pixies. They...

    The pixies and Gavin Degraw or Hanson?! I'd love to hear that explanation. Music is not simply Music.

    Preamp A vs Preamp B - Discuss.

    Hypothesis testing is supposed to test a theory that has already been put forward though, right? A hypothesis is based upon a theory, previously tested or untested.
