I too liked the A sound better, and to me this illuminates the difference in performance between a large diaphram cardioid and a omni condenser. I hear the warm thickness of the LD as oposed to the no proximity effect of the omni. For kicks, try the same test using a vocal track and let's...

Busted, Take this question into the studio building forum on this BBS and you may find some help there..

1- buy some decent closed ear headphones that will keep out more of the sound. Be careful of the high volumes you'll use on the headphones in this situation 2. record the tune. then while playing it back listen and make board adjustments as needed. then rerecord the song with the new levels 3...

Jimistone, Do yourself a huge favor and put down the hammer. Go read and find out about things like bass traps , diffusion and absorbtion. Before you hang that sheetrock, find out about parallel walls and echo etc... There's a ton of info on this forum and others that you can learn fairly...

DJ. Some blankets will knock down the live sound, but probably won't help with the escaping sound much.. It's probably mostly the low end the passes upstairs and that may involve some serious soundproofing work to eliminate. In terms of making your room sound better: If you have even...

Dj, That's a cool little room you got there- I wanna record some electric guitar in it! :-) and a lot cleaner looking than my cellar! Some questions: What are you trying to accomplish with sound proofing? Do you wanna knock down the sound getting out to the rest of the building or are you...

John, Thanks for posting these great designs!! Simple and effective- gotta love it. I think I speak for many when I say the time and expertise you lend to this forum is greatly appreciated.

Yadi, The brands I've run into locally are Knauf, and Micro-lok. The type you refer to at home depot is NOT the right stuff. You've gotta get this fiberglass board at a some sort of a commercial insulation dealer. ( BTW, Neither of the places I've been to have been unwilling to sell them to me...

John, What can you say about the fabric covering of the boxes in terms of how it will affect the absorbtion of the fiberglass? I'm just about to build some panels ( found a close out on some 1 +1/2" thick, 4'x8' fiberglass boards for .36/sq ft - wahoo!) I've seen the specs on what they...

Shailat- I don't have a tube mic... yet... what sort of voices do you find it works best on?

Bodhisattva, thank you for the gentle reminder...

Re: Dan Well, I've had it a while- methinks even before the QC questions started showing up, as i don't remember reading about it before I bought it. Regardless, I like the sound of this mic a lot. Yet another flavor in the mic cupboard.

Hmm... just lost my post to your question. Anyway- the shorter, retyped, no rebuttal answer is: Guitar Center, mail order. (Something tells me GC and QC are about to be mentioned) ;-)

Somewhere else.. (whose initials would be GC) Rather than drive to Boston, I mail ordered it. I presume you're wondering about the Oktava QC question... and whether i might have gotten a duller sounding MC012. I wouldn't rule that out... but side by side, yesterday, that's what I heard. I'm...

http://www.independentaudio.com/soundman/soundman1.html A friend of mine own this company here in Maine. He tells these headphone style microphones are used for exactly what your refering to. Apparently they are very good sounding and you wear them like walkman earbuds. I guess bootleggers...

Of course, it depend what sound you're going for, but.. I've used the 4033 for numerous acoustic tracks with great results, but I find it's a very tempermental mic for nearfield acoustic guitar micing. You really have to put on the phones and find the prefect spot and stay there. (Assuming you...

Alan, So, you've sold 10,000 of these babies to guys like us who read, buy, and post reviews about your mics on sites like this. That's amazing, because come to think of it - I've barely seen any print copy ads for your mics and I bought mine based on the internet reviews. ( I just flipped...

Ha! been there... Seriously, Muchos graicas senore for taking the time to post this info! That should make it kids play to build. Gotta love this BBS!

Don, thanks for the photo's- these panels are just what I'd like to build! They look clean and professionally done. I don't mean to sound like a fabricating idiot, but for the sake of learning from your experience rather than my own mistakes- Let me get make sure I have this straight: You...

These cylindrical bass traps are fantastic and easy to build (I have built a number of them) http://ic.net/~jtgale/diy2.htm
