Rami, I really like it. I know the original well. Does not change my opinion that this sounds really nice to me and I thouroughly enjoyed it. If I knew a band locally that could sound this good , I would enjoy spending the evening listening and dancing. Nice performance and sound.

I have heard the Schoeps and liked them a lot. I have used the KM 184s and felt they were brighter than my taste runs. I personally like more natural sounding mikes for bluegrass and acoustic based music that does not have to compete with electric instruments or loud drums.... hense no need for...

Hey all I am selling some of my Studio Microphones to fund some new purchases. I have upgraded over the years and find that while I still find these very useful, I need more of other items than these Microphones. Having said that, I am not going to give these away neither am I going to magnify...

I think of all the mics in my locker, if you truly only want a cardiod only pattern I would look into the older CAD Equitek E-100. While they are not large diaphram (mid-sized) they are incredible on acoustic instruments and have high headroom. They also have a wide cardiod pattern which helps...

My Choice My absolute top preference for Violin and Stand up Bass is a Cascade Fathead ribbon(preferably with the Lundahl Tranny) but for acoustic guitar I don't like it at all really. The ribbon Mike takes the harshness out of the violin and when recording upright if you mic it fairly close...

my perception with headphones Listening over head phones: Mic1: extremely neutral...a little tubby...my least favorite...has some distortion in places. Mic2: clearer than one...but still a little too neutral to cut in a mix...distortion on this too...(Maybe my headphones) Mic3: Clearer yet...my...

just go out of the Mackie into the stereo inputs of your computers soundcard. you may have to make some trial and error mixer adjustments, but I do this all the time.

Actually, I would say the purpose for the resonant head is to provide sustained tone in the form of a user defined pitch as opposed to any volume oriented task. All things concerning drums (and recording) are subjective and totally dependant on what you are after. The reso heads can be put on...

I used to be a real Evans fan when it came to heads, but the frosted EC2s suck tremendously for recording. Actually they don't feel right and are not pleasant to play...very stiff and thick. Of course if you are a really hard hitter you may like hitting heads that feel like formica. I have...

It does not matter. It has Phanto, power that is switchable on/off. Like I said earlier, it is great on Bass as a active DI to record complete with eq/compressor and the like. You can switch the compressor in or out of the loop for simpler signal flow. It has enough gain for dynamic or...

I've got one and it is my "go to" set up for Bass guitar. Plug and play...optical compressor included!

Or you can go to Radio Shack and get their cheapo 2 wire $2 piezo transducers and use some of that removable double sided tape to stick them to the heads. wire up some cables to them and you are good to go.

That is actually pretty cool. I need to look into getting some to patch out of my live mixer for recording performances... need to measure lengths.

I think any comment I have is really just personal preference. In the unmasteresd version the keyboard parts sounded too thick tonally and masked the vocals. In the mastered version everything becomes more lively, but almost to the point of harsh....almost. The keys sound ton better, but...

I think it sounds excellent. I think the oktava is a good match. I think because the vocals are so dry and sung really close...I'd cut an ever so tiny amount of 330K and add a small amount of warm medium room reverb to the vocal. Layer in a little shaker when the chorus hits... maybe congas at...

I honestly dont consider the drum's panning when I decide the other instrument panning with the lone consideration of I typically won't have the drums the furthest thing panned out in my final overall mix. I only consider vocals and other melody- rhythm multi frequency related ones for the...

I think that sometimes the snare is tonally meatier in the mic directly over it as opposed to the one near the floor tom so it can give the impression of being offcentered, but the volume is actually matched. I also think the higher your position the floor tom side mic is (instead of like 6-8...

I could not find anything on the microphone you listed. I think (personally) your expectations may be set too high to be able to get a clear well balanced sound like an experienced well furnished studio has the first time you record with budget gear in your home. If the mic is a good match for...

Yeah speakers are like any any other part of the chain. It needs to match the tone you are after. For instance, I really enjoy Celestion Vintage 30s for Bluesy, Rock, and psuedo clean Jazz, but it wont hardly do sparkly clean if pushed at all like a Fender twin will.

When I think of the word "Fiberboard" I think of a relatively dense panel of something like cheap cabinet wood or some siding...that would not absorb anything...it might act as a mild boundary ...possibly a reflective surface. To "absorb" you would need to add something like compressed...
