I paypaled him today. Hopefully I'll add him to the good guy list later this week.

Be careful of a ribbon mic and phantom power. If its not specifcally designed for it (such as a royer 122) it will blow the ribbon.

Has anyone ever tried a nt1 as a mono overhead? Flyboy, check your pm's

I could do $125 shipped.

By the way I love Glasgow! I've got a ton of friends that live in a village near Ayr (Mauchlin, where the Robert Burns monument is). I really need to get over there soon!

I definately agree with you on the bleed, but every time I've tried dynamics on toms I always end up liking the way the LDCs sound better. I've never tried 57s only d770s and they sound pretty similar, I've only got 1 57 anyways. It may be the way I tune my toms. I guess I'm old fashioned in...

try the 57 on top and a SDC on the bottom pointed directly at the snares.

the modern rock sound is pretty easily obtainable from a 50 caliber with a little tweaking.

yeh there loaners from the studio I intern at. They don't have anything else to spare :( for toms. I'm just happy to get my mits on those two! Ryan

Hehe stereo overheads are waaayyy out of fashion this season ;) . You must have never used a royer 121 either if your telling me to replace it with stereo b1 OHs. The d1000e is a cool late 70s early 80s akg copy of a sm57 with its own unique tone. Ryan.

Yeh I was kind of expecting the same thing as far as changing the sound of the mic but it was just an idea, and I might still give it a try just to see what it sounds like if no one has ever tried it. I've got both a berhinger and SP b1s but I'm going to use the SPs for the toms. I'm using a...

I've got a 50 caliper + and it sounds great. Its definately one of the most overlooked mesas. Its basically a dc5's older brother. Like someone says its not a rectifer but its got a great fenderish clean and a very nice crunch channel. As good as the mesa is I've also heard a behringer 4x12...

I've bought two b1s to use as close tom mics. I haven't gotten to use them yet so I don't even know if it will be an issue, but I was wondering if anyone had ever tried to cover the rear grill of the mic (with tape most likely?) to reduce bleed?

Hit softer. Ryan.

You can add up to two more bike carriers for a total of four if you need the extra capacity. Ryan

I've got a complete yakima roof rack with two bike carriers, two wheel carriers, and a spoiler that I'm looking to get rid of. I'm planning on using the money to get some more gear so I thought I'd post and see if anyone had anything they wanted to trade before I put it on ebay. I'm basically...

I read a post similar to my thoughts on this matter and I wondered what everyones opinion would be. Is it better to have many cheap mics that offer different colors and sounds or one high end mic that does one sound superbly?

Thanks for the starting point Jason. I really apprieciate when someone actually has something useful and constructive to say on this site. It seems like more people here like to bash the questions asked, rather than trying to be helpful. If Mike would have read my post other than the...

Jayridge? Have your ever gotten a change to use a Royer 121? How does the varacoustic sound in comparison? I love the 121 and want to find something comparable. I know they are completely different designs but I'm still curious to hear about the actual similarities or differences. Ryan

I've got access to a warehouse that I would guess is about 10,000 sq. ft. with about a 20 to 25 ft. ceiling. It has a concrete floor and exposed insulation on the ceiling. I'm planning on setting on drums in the center of the warehouse with an ambient mic in one of the upper corner of the...
