Yes the lights are halogen - no troubles at all. Kevin.

Electrovoice ND257 awesome sounding dynamic cardiod mic. I got mine off Ebay for $25

And the control room rear wall. The traps on the bottom are sealed and separate from the absorbers on top.

Here are a couple of recent pics from LSFS...

You don't say what other instruments there are in the recording so panning decisions can't really be made yet... When I record just acoustic guitar and vocals, I will often pan the guitar left and right weighted slightly opposit the main vocal. As Blue Bear points out, if there are other...

Sorry about not following this up sooner... I did end up putting the C1 next to a 100W bulb (about 8 inches away) for roughly 6 hours. That cleared up the noise I was hearing and the mic sounds fantastic. Thanks go to Alan at PMI for the solution. I ended up getting a dehumidifier and have been...

Chris - do both decks behave the same way? Is this only during play or does it happen in FF & RWD as well? If they are belt driven (from a single motor) I would suspect that (replace or tension). Other wise you could check that the capstan & pinch roller are not slipping at all. Last would be...

Richard, have you considered ADA in Framingham? http://www.artistdevelopment.com/ I have heard good stuff about them. The band I am working with now is going there for mastering and dup. Cheers Kevin.

I used the XY (two Octavas) on drums this weekend and I am truly impressed. No phase issues as with the overheads which i found to always need some tweaking... At first I was happy with the rack toms just from the XY, but the drummer just could not deal without a mic on the rack regardless of...

Keep up the nice work Laptop! Kevin.

Well, last night was a cool, dry night here so I put the C1 up level with and about 8 inches from a 100W bulb for about 6 hours. I did not have the time to try it out this morning but will do this afternoon and report back... I also had the silica pack and plastic sleeve under the bulb to get...

Thanks guys. I did contact Studio Projects and got this response from Alan: My studio is in my basement and it has been raining here for 40 of the last 40 days (it seems) so I will definitly try this fix. Kevin.

I am getting a fair amount of noise from the C1 these days and was wondering if anyone else had run across the same thing. The noise is a kind of "wind" type noise. There is no actual wind though... if the mic is just up on the stand in the booth I can hear this rustleing / wind noise... kinda...

Jake - I just checked out TapeTape.com... not too impressed with their selection. I like the concept though! I did a google search and didn't turn up much more then tapetape.com. Kevin.

Well, I there are still an awful lot of 2" machines still out there. I would imagine 2" is a bigger seller then others thoug 1/2" is proably up there too. I just read Jake's thread about "used once" tape... sounds interesting. Kevin.

Since EMTEC is no longer producing tape and Quantegy has been kind enough to raise it's prices on 499. I was wondering where you guys are getting new tape from. The best price I have seen for a reel of 499 1" is $69.93... I have seen it as high as $80. Thanks Kevin.

Home depot does sell a rigid fiberglass ceiling tile that is 3/4" thick and has a decorative plastic face glued on one side. I have bought a couple boxes of that (comes in 2x4 ft pieces) pulled off the face and spray glued two together to get ~ 1.5" thickness. Works great though probably not as...

Welcome back Fitz! - good to see you again :) Kevin.

Tex is right on about using OC703 (rigid fiberglass insulation wrapped in fabric) to make panels to deaden the room. Couple of references for you: John Sayers site about all things audio: http://www.saecollege.de/reference_material/index.html Ethans commercial site: http://www.realtraps.com...

Certainly the automated features are not overkill when mixing from either of those formats. They would only be overkill if you always flew the tracks into the PC for editing (i.e. never used them for mixing). Kevin.
