    Why did these genius engineers use such great mics?

    Good thread. This condition of an overabundance of choice is a result of reduced manufacturing costs and ease of distribution and marketing through a multitude of trade publications/internet and a growing trend to "do it yourself". You see this in almost all industries (except perhaps the do...

    Classic GC

    It's a catch 22. GC would have to raise their prices in order to pay a higher salary to an extremely knowledgable workforce and risk loosing more market share to discount internet stores (of which ironically they themselves now are). Not having basic market knowledge such as the variety of...

    What to fill my rack with?

    If you have to ask, you most likely don't need a rack. A rack is for mounting hardware audio devices in an organized and modular format. The question is kinda like asking "I have a backpack, what should I put in it?" Any advice would be worthless because none of us know what your needs are...

    Vocal Effects (Harmonies, etc)

    While I'll agree they don't sound perfect, I saw a live demo of the TC Helicon floor unit at the Dallas Guitar show and it basically sounded like real people singing with a chorus effect applied. There were no pitch or tracking glitches and the modeled voices didn't sound like traditional fake...

    Tascam FW-1082 vs. M-Audio Project Mix

    This is true, but at the extra expense, you could have the TASCAM 1884, the big brother to the 1082 which has very similiar specs to the Project Mix. The benefit of the 1082 over the Project Mix is price/performance ratio. I sound like I work for TASCAM!!!! Let me assure you I don't, I've...

    Re-Tube Presonus TubePre

    Any reccomendations for the dirtiest, nastiest replacement tube for the Presonus TubePre? Thought it might be interesting to have an extermely ugly, verge of exploding sound on hand for unique situations and I have one sitting around that doesn't really get any usage...

    Tascam FW-1082 vs. M-Audio Project Mix

    you never know when I might want to check out an effect while playing. Just to clarify, you can monitor effects on playback of prerecorded tracks without audible latency. The audible latency is only if you monitor effects on your input. Many plugs introduce their own latency so even with a...

    Tascam FW-1082 vs. M-Audio Project Mix

    Never used the M-Audio device, but I use the 1082 w/ SONAR Studio 5. I think the pres sound clean and transparent, wouldn't call them "warm" as I think they tried to keep them as uncolored as possible. I know "warm" is the current catch phrase and has a positive connotation when referring to...

    something to think about

    How about this. An artist has been sitting in a park waiting for inspiration and suddenly the perfect moment arrives. With a big grin he squeezes paint onto his pallette and looks for a brush to paint with. Hmmm, which one to choose? There's the hand made camel hair brush imported from Egypt...

    something to think about

    Actually, I agree to a certain extent. It is fairly pointless to endlessly agrue the merrits of which mic sounds better at any price point (although it is rather fun). Better is subjective and therefore rather irrelevent to creating music, which is the end goal in a home recording situation...

    AT2020 or B1? w/ edit

    I bought the AT4041 studio package and liked the AT2020 so much I got a second one. They're really good mics for the money, great on acoustic guitar. Bass is slightly rolled off so they're not the best choice for capturing lows. There is a smooth presence boost which works well for vocals...
