    Shure SM58 Tape Op Mod.

    I tried it with one of my SM58s - kind of cool. Now I want to try it on snare. If you sing into it one thing to think about is that you no longer have transformer isolation and so it seems like it would be easier to shock yourself if you touch your mouth to the grill when there's phantom power...

    Mixbus Processing

    sometimes I use a compressor on the main bus (the mix bus - I think that's what I call it). If so, I turn it on early in the process and mix into it, so to speak. I try to leave a lot of headroom while I'm mixing - that may just be personal preference, but if I get stuck up close to zero, I...

    I have used a RE10 on a guitar cab. Sounded great to me

    Looking for an SG...

    I have a SG clone that came with crappy humbuckers (and everything else really) and so I put P-94 pickups in it. Those are Gibson's humbucker sized P-90 style ones. I really can't say how they compare to real P-90s because I haven't done a comparison. But I can say they're really high output -...

    That's why we call this a 'clinic' - sick mixes come here to get better - thanks again

    Vince Gill Cover

    OK - I took out some 150-ish hz from the guitar tracks and the vocals. I think it's better. I uploaded over the original (which means you might need to refresh to hear it? dunno). Thanks!!!

    Vince Gill Cover

    thanks man - I've been embracing the muddiness, but I think I'll try and reduce it. There was a fair amount of experimentation going on - another thing is that I don't think the vocal mic is the best match for this guy - it's a great mic, but heavy on the low mids in a way that fights with the...

    Vince Gill Cover

    This is my friend Chris Lively again on vocals and guitar - with a guest violinist (details on the soundcloud page) and actually me on bass. My first time recording a violin - she's an excellent player and was really easy to work with. I used the everything and the kitchen sink approach using...

    Just bought an AT4040...

    I have had one for years but I truthfully haven't used it much. The few times I have gone through a bunch of mics with a decent singer they usually pass on it but I'm not sure why. Mine is not bright, which I think is good. Seems a little slow on transients when compared to other LDCs, which...

    Sigh - my pointy guitar shame..

    In 1985 or so, I somehow how my hands on a cherry sunburst Les Paul Custom - wet dream of a guitar. In 1987 I traded it for an RG 550 Sometimes I don't want to live

    The New Tone Thread

    I messed around with micing my Fender amp making cleaner sounds today for quite awhile, and ultimately discovered that a condenser microphone backed off a foot and a half or so (or more) is doing what I was trying to do with a bunch of different dynamics. Here's something (with bass and drums -...

    Chibson Thread

    I bought a fake gibson acoustic at a pawnshop for $100 - everybody knew it was fake. It's a decent guitar but I really wish it didn't say Gibson on the headstock - I think it would be worth more with a blank headstock - it's kind of depressing to look at. Maybe I can paint over it.

    Suggestions for a new A/D Converter

    fwiw I did 16 in (all active) and 16 out (6 or 8 active) at 96khz when tracking in logic's 'low latency' mode with no issues for sometimes hours at a time (music festivals) with no issues at all using the Lynx with USB2

    Suggestions for a new A/D Converter

    what is your budget? If you're about to upgrade your computer, you'd probably do well to skip firewire and go to something newer. Which presents a problem, I guess - it seems like there aren't really any USB3 interfaces (I could be wrong about that), but Thunderbolt itself is getting a little...

    The New Tone Thread

    Everything I tried on the site worked. Careful or you might have some of us bozos heckling you at your gigs :) like maybe at the Pirate Festival... I still don't like reverb, even for leads. But in a way I'm consistent - the only time I'm not playing overdriven is when I'm playing acoustic...

    The New Tone Thread

    Thanks! The reverb was turned all the way down - so there was none. I mentioned in passing that when the reverb is up - I can hear it in the Normal channel as well as the tremolo channel where it lives. Robus mentioned this could be a mod or maybe a problem. I was thinking the reverb sound was...
