Some of the playing gets a little scrambked but man, awesome hard ass rock tune guys. SHould be putting a mix up in a few.

heh, just read the last post more carefully. I would say the b1 is better at bad rooms, although that's just an untrained opinion.

old thread but what the hell, i got my karma k35 and haven't plugged i the b1 since. I feel like I've got a "real" condesor now. I could use words like open, detailed, tight etc...Idon't know if that's it, but it just sounds a lot better to me, espcially the bottom end. The last thing I used...

Just to add, I've read this and found it to be true. You don't get that riveting crunchy bite that a 57 will give you, which is why I read a lot about people using a ribbon with another mic on a guitar cab. Something I'm going to start playing around with now that the initial thrill of getting...

Well this probably won't help much Apex 210 plugged straight into my converter, no pre. Luckily my converter is pretty quiet so I get enough signal, probably not enough for you pros, but enough. I use it to mic my 50w combio, so there is lots of power at the source. Mic postiion is a bit of...

hmmmmm.... I've got an Apex 210, it's not bad. Just being a ribbon totally rocks. I use it to mic my Marshall, especially when there isn't going to be a wall of doubled overdubs. IMO it's not a "great" mic, I'd like to have something better

no experience yet, but I've pretty mch decided it's my next pre as well. THere's a thread somewhere comparing it to an API where a few people make a good case for the API.

that's what I was trying to say...

most digital filters are based on the same principals as analogue ones, but there is a kind of filtering you can only do in digital (FIR) that has really good quality in some respects, I can't remember what tho... It could be what you are hearing is that the graphic eq used a loeer res fft...

maybe follow some links from around here http://www.ax84.com/

Truth be told that's a fair assesment. I've been married to this pedal since I was 16, it's the only pedal I can stand for more than half an hour. If it's really the only source of drive in the chain you have to find the balance between not feeding in too much gain and get the tone control...

The overdrive pedals can sound better at first, but can sound kind of dull. The drive pedals give you a bit more "expression" in my opinion in the long riun, but are a lot harsher and sometimes seem completely useless, especially with a bad amp combination. Solution, unfortunately, grab a...

you could pick up a couple of sound treatment units that just just in the corner or come on a stand. Bucks to bucks this would likely make the biggest difference in your recordings. I run my mic's straight into my lavry and normalize in software. Not for everybody or every situation but talk...

Ya, that sounds right, so the crunching is more or less the same o floats. I'd guess there's some wider plumbing somewhere that helps a bit.

ya, it's a one or the other thing. I think spdif is better than optical because I don't hear a lt about optical audio connections, but I don't really know.

64 bit cpus should, if the app supports the proper instructions, calculate 64 bit floats faster than 32 bit cpus. It's a register thing I think. A 32 bit cpu has to juggle crap around internally to process a 64 bit number, a 64 bit cpu should be able to just stuff it somewhere and process it...

Well, sort of if you're mixing more than 3.402823466 e38 tracks together. IN the real world 64 bit floats will be more resilient to rounding errors. Floats are all about precision, not limits. Large numbers are described by larger units, smaller numbers by smaller units, as apposed to fixed...

Sounds lke you want an old Fender or Marshall, hard to come by for under 500. Tube amps probably don't have less noise than SS to my knowledge.

Well I'm up to about 6 grand now converter 2k mics $1400 monitors 1k sound treatment $800 misc other crap 1k I'm not counting computers or instruments, my sound card can be more or less rolled into "misc other crap"

AD - Lavry blue DA - audiophile 2496 running off lavry clock Personally from what I've read, I think the Mytek AD96 hits a good price point for home recording, but I've never heard one so...
