word. word. Its a live recording so I'd rather have vocals with a boxy tone than to fake it. They don't sound awful, but I definitely like the tone better through a large condenser. Its all good tho. Cutting the mids slightly definitely helps, and Ill try out an exciter or something to see if...

Hey guys! Is there a way to give a more "condensor" EQ or feel to the shure 58? Any tips for EQing a 58 for recording usage? Most of the tips ive found online are about EQing for live usage. Anything to stop the "boxiness" of the sound. Or compression settings?

thanks! Thanks! That is what I figured. Ill just have to make the trip around to turn them off. not a big deal. thanks again!

Hey guys. I have a couple of seriously noob, slightly ocd questions about properly setting up monitors and connecting them to an audio interface. I am going from a firepod into two yamaha hs50s using a TRS to XLR Male cable. I am going from the Main CR Output jacks, which gives me a control...

thanks! Hey, thanks for the advice! After writing this all out and seeing what you guys have said, I think that we are going to get two days for tracking drums/bass in a studio, since its easier to get the band to split that cost, and then sell the blue tube and get the focusrite preamp and...

Hey Guys. Im in a lo-fi ish rock band and we are starting to plan some recordings for an album. I am looking into maybe getting a couple pieces of gear before we start. If you guys want to make a couple of suggestions I'd appreciate it. The other option is spending the money on going into a...

Hey. I recently moved into a two bedroom and I'd like to treat my studio room/mixing room a little bit. Is this a decent placement for 10 24x36x2 mineral wool panels? Thanks!

agreed. it sounds the same as it ever did but I'm not lending my stuff out anymore.

i just opened it and bent it back correct, took about 5 min and its good as new ( I hope ... ) learned my lesson, don't let anyone borrow your gear..... thought it would be hard to break such a relatively sturdy mic but apparently not.... thanks so much for your time and patience!! :)

yeah... it looks easy... but my suspicion is correct? the capsule should be perpendicular with the case, not bent?

I couldn't figure out how to upload a picture with the message board editor but here is the best drawing I can do to illustrate my concern: http://brianbrotman.com/pictures/oktava.gif It's impossible to photograph because of the grill.

hey, thanks for the reply. its impossible to tell from stock photos online.... the round part inside is bent backwards about 45 degrees. you can only tell if you look at it exactly from the side. from the front it looks the same I dont know if this is normal, or bad. It still works fine...

Hi! I let my friend borrow my oktava mk 319 and I just got it back. I noticed after I got it back that the capsule is bent about 45 degrees from the front. Is this normal? I thought that it was supposed to be exactly perpendicular. I don't even know how they could have bent the inside...

woah. Wow. That AKG is really really a lot better than the Samson I was messing around with. Thanks for the advice. (Unfortunately, I now have an ebay gear addiction.)

thanks! Thanks for the advice, I had not heard of either of these mics. I ordered the AKG used based on its steller reviews, it's reputation for having diverse uses, and its reliability. The octava probably has the vocal quality I want, but I am a little afraid of it because of the quality...

Hey! I record demos in my small apartment with garageband and my presonus Firepod. I want to move up to Logic and step up my game a little bit with more microphones. The instruments I most commonly record are: male vocals (In the Paul banks/Interpol range) electric guitar acoustic guitar drum...
