    Let Her Cry - acoustic cover

    Nice... really nice! The noted recommendations I agree with and have nothing more to add. I have to admit, I have an SM7b and not had it sound that good on everything like you did. I did not hear any cumulative noise that usually comes with the SM7b needing so much gain. Great song.

    New take on folk song "Annable Lee"

    yup Yes, I closed down the website about 2 years ago when the price for hosting my site got too high with GoDaddy. I also pulled away from being really active in the studio as well because my Job became too much of a beating with the long hours and the long drive. I just had no life after...

    New take on folk song "Annable Lee"

    Mark is doing some Playing with a Community Jazz Group, but other than that I am not sure. He had told me he was needing a break from gigging heavily and just needed something very casual. I hope to reconnect more with Mark myself after the first of the year!

    New take on folk song "Annable Lee"

    So Cool ! Wow! I knew it hit my heartstrings. I have loved listening to your Wife, Dave, Martin, etc with the Selkie Girls. I have just watched more from afar due to my horrid work schedule. If you ever need Upright Bass, let me know! Keep doing what you are doing! It sounds wonderful. I...

    New take on folk song "Annable Lee"

    Lovely Performances all around Great sounding, the only nit I would change is the same others have pointed out which is the open hits on the Bodhran peak a little too strong but the balance of the tipper hits are great. May just a little compression on the low hits. if you have a multiband you...

    Lower-cost alternatives to the AKG c414 for electric guitar

    yup PDP is giving a great suggestion if it fits your budget. It is an very good utility mic, even good for a lot of vocals. because you said something about crispy top end (or something like that) I won't suggest a ribbon, but... Ribbons are really nice for distorted or harsher sounding...

    Use of Gates

    my thoughts I rarely use gates except for Drums... occasionally... In addition to using proper gain staging, you can...try... to eliminate room born noise as much as your knowledge and wallet can afford, but third place you also consider is getting some decent noise reduction plug ins. I use...

    Recording In A Completely Dead Room

    I agree yeah , I had well over 80 panels I made for my place. Most were 2 ft by 7 foot with 2 inch thick to 4 inch thick compressed rockwool. Hung a boatload from the ceiling, and made numerous corner bass traps from floor to ceiling that were about 14 inches deep at the greatest depth. I hung...

    Recording In A Completely Dead Room

    Recording... in a completely Dead room. I will say that Recording Acoustic instruments in a completely dead (highly absorbent) room does not sound very good on a lot of instruments particularly Percussion and Percussive instruments without a lot of sustain. When I first built my studio a went...

    Mic stand for bedroom studio

    I agree with boulder I am with Boulder, I have like a bazzillion mic stands in the studio and the ones i use the most are the Atlas or K&M stands with a telescoping boom and a 10 pound barbell weight on the shaft sitting on top of the base (weight from Walmart) and I can hang basically any...

    Lewitt LCT 440 Pure or Rode NT1

    My Input Jschmitz54, I have a pretty big Mic Locker. I have mostly large diaphragm and mid sized diaphragm mics, but I have 3-4 pairs of small as well. I have a lot of the older Equitek E-series including one E100s of the newer series. I have a Neumann TLM-49, different Kel Mics, Warm Audio...

    drums, fiverr, playing for credit and promotion not money, lofi recording

    Kompoz is still alive I think a place like Kompoz is a good bet for volunteer stuff. There seems to be several drummers there that are pretty dang good. I play drums as well but never have the time to do it in the time frame most people want it. At Kompoz you have folks from all over the world...

    Capturing a nylon acoustic and my results are poor

    I like the round base mic stands because I can go to Walmart or a sporting goods store and buy a 10 lb metal barbell weight, remove the base, thread the weight over the shaft and reattach the base, and you have a stand that is nearly impossible to knock over. You can get closer to it than...

    Microphones Pic

    Nice! Good selection. I recently picked up a WA-14 as well but I have not had a recording session yet to use it in. I need to take pics of my Mic Selection... it has really changed through the years.

    Home recording first kit for classical violin

    My Thoughts I have recorded a LOT of violin over the years, and I find most condenser mics are too bright without getting some distance from the violin in a warm sounding room. For close miking I have used ribbon mics with great success. placing it forward of the violinist but below violin...

    Is the Shure SM7B the right fit for my voice?

    My Thoughta If this were just a Mic Pre I would say check for an output level switch that might be lowering the output such as a switch changing the output from -12 to +4 output. Since this is a USB output it makes me wonder if there is a adjustment form the audio program or interface Driver...

    Headphone cue mix question

Those are all done via 1/4 inch TRS stereo. also I have a little portable behringer one I take on my drumming gigs and the...

    Heart set on a Vox

    I like my Vox Night Train as a Head so that I can mix and match with different cabs. I have an open backed cab with Vintage 30s and some mix and match 2-12 from Avatar. The seperate head might be a PIA for gigging, but is good for the studio. I only wish it had a way to add a spring reverb to...

    "No Air Nowhere"...Say that 10 times fast...:D

    Rami, When I first listened I thought there is not enough Bass or lower spectrum frequencies (such as with some low freq keys or whatever), but by the time I got to the end my ears had acclimated enough to the point that I appreciated the tight mix without the wool. Open! and it translates good...
