Hi bouldersoundguy, Thanks, but please note my last proper paragraph in my message: "Now, this wasn’t the case previously, under the Tiger OS, and the ‘Recording Level’ slider is still greyed-out, but I thought that this might be relevant in some way. Also, the software mixer/router for the...

Hi, I would like some help with a problem in GarageBand that has only recently become relevant to me as a problem (i.e., I was able to get around it / deal with it up to now, so I did not matter to me previously). Stated briefly, I cannot set the the Record Level and Track Volume level in...

Hi m.g.eddie, mjbphotos, grimtraveller, and guitaristic, Thanks for your posts and thoughts. m.g. eddie, sorry about the confusion. I only realized yesterday or early today how to describe my problem clearly, so thanks for the encouragement to get clearer, and here goes. First, yes, you are...

Hi miroslav and cavedog101, Thanks for the suggestions. I don't really want to get into renting 'high end' mics. just yet....I want to focus my energies on what I can afford (or what I think I can afford!). miroslav, when I took the mics. back yesterday, I got talking to one of the guys in the...

Brilliant. Thanks so much for educating me about this; I thank my lucky stars for the people on this and other sites. GVDV.

Thanks a lot Alan. Just one more niggling question that I wanted to check - the Presonus inputs are labelled 'Mic./Instrument' (1 & 2), and 'Mic./Line' (3-8). I just wanted to make sure that that 'Mic.' in reference to inputs 3-8 (where I'd be inputting the GAp) does not indicate a mic. pre...

Sorry, couldnt' think of a better title for this thread. I have been doing some mic. tests, and have encountered a phenomenon which I haven't previously encountered. Put simply, I have found that sometimes the sound that I heard in my cans was very different from the sound that went 'to tape'...

Hi, My regular set-up for recording is to go straight in (guitar and mic.) to my Presonus Firestudio pre-amp. The signal then gets passed to my Mac Pro via firewire. Today I got hold of the Golden Age Pre-73 one-channel preamp, which was recommended to me as something that might warm up and...

Rode K2 and Shure SM7b 'Tests' I have just finished three days of recording with the Rode K2 condenser, and Shure SM7b dynamic mic., and wanted to share a few of my impressions. 'Method' First, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the SM7b, even though, in my opinion, the Rode is...

Hi moresound, That's good to know. Thanks. GVDV.

Hi brian, First, in the interest of being completely honest, I have to say that I am a psychotherapist, and second, I want to make it clear that I am NOT giving you clinical advice here - that would be unethical. I'm posting here for several reasons. First, I hope that sharing (in a very...

Hi moresound, Thanks so much for making the effort to find those links for me: I really appreciate it. GVDV.

Hi moresound, Thanks very much for the confirmation that there are in line boosters. Thanks, too, for mentioning the Trident. Is this it? http://www.barryrudolph.com/utilities/trident4t.html There's also a review of it here http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/feb05/articles/trident4t.htm If this...

Rode K2 and Potential Gain Problems with Shure SM7b Yesterday I started testing the Rode K2 and the Shure SM7b. Very interesting 'results', which I will post more about later on. I have run into the problem that a lot of people seem to encounter with the SM7b, which is a difficulty in getting...

Changing Pop Shield on SM7b? Today I rented a Rode K2 and a Shure SM7b to start mic. testing. I'm embarrassed to say that I can't change the pop filter on the SM7b, despite trying to follow the instructions in the 'User Guide' (http://www.fermata.biz/Shure_SM7b_Microphone.pdf) Is there some...

Hi dgatwood, Nice to hear from you. And thanks for the Nady RSM-2 recommendation.

Hi mixsit, Feel free to stir/mix the pot! I would say that when I did the comparison the other day between my friend's SM 57 and his Studio Projects C1, I was singing 8 - 10" away from each microphone. We did have to increase the gain for the SM 57 (in comparison to the C1) to get a good level...

Hi cavedog101, Thanks for this; will check out the Oneac right now. GVDV.

Hi cavedog101, Thanks for taking the time to continue talking about this. And thanks, too, for your recommendations. I would love to have a U87 to put up, but those days are a bit far off, I'm afraid. Also, I'm not sure that I want to get into transformers, but will consider this as a...

Hi cavedog101, Many thanks for your thoughtful and very helpful reply. Coincidentally, just before I saw your message I was looking at the specs. and a video of the Miktek C7, and will also be looking at the C4 (although I think that it may be a little out of my budget range). Thanks for...
