    Limiting while recording

    you know what gear solution to this is kinda cool... there is this generation of boxes designed in the late 90s to go with ADATS that limited and added fake tape saturation. i am thinking of the spl charisma (which i own) and the aardvark aardscape, but i am pretty sure there are more. they...

    better than a Y-cable- whats that?

    maybe i should build something? that'll probably work. OK, i'm a gonna go searching. i am sure there are some schematics for a passive 2-1 mixer... anyone, if they can help.. that would be nice.

    better than a Y-cable- whats that?

    that paradigm is just something i picked up for very cheap that i thought would work well... might be time to move it to the living room and get the genelec sub soon... wow, nice catch. what is up with that input impedance? is it a mixer designed for old reslo mics? ok. thanks for the help...

    better than a Y-cable- whats that?

    ok, so i have this real compromise going on with my monitoring, and its time i stop it. i added a sub to my genelec 1029s just cause i figured i aught to figure out what is going on round 68hz and below. so far it works ok. the bass is still tricky to work out, yea, its not ideal. but i really...

    Vocoders!!!

    seeing as how vintage vocoders have priced themselves out of the market... this is about as good as yr gonna get with analog http://www.vintagesynth.org/misc/mamvf11.shtml as far as digital, i have tried a few digital boxes, and have been less than happy with them. the best/cheapest come as...

    Outboards (Compressors, pres. etc) vs. Computer Software

    thanks for the support in rants.. speaking of guitar pedals, lately i have been loving sending software synths out to a DOD 280 optical compressor guitar pedal. if you send a few tracks of synths out to that and back to the computer they stack up real nicely on top of one another. makes them...

    Cable topic!

    yea, that is a very good used price. if you obsess over ebay, especially ebay.de you can get it for that... "take a chance on the used market"... the used market is where it is AT. no chances there in the long run. its smart investing. your $250 441 say costs $300 with added "risk value". you...

    Cable topic!

    redco.com is cheaper for some things... fullcompass.com is also cheaper sometimes for some things. i have used markertek a few times. my current favorite is redco.

    High quality distortion...

    ronan makes a good point- a POD is good for guitar tones that you want to sound really abrasive, really direct, really straight in. artifically sounding stuff, nuMETAAAL stuff like that. or like those early devo demos where they plugged their guitars directly into the board and distorted the...

    I need a crazy vocal mic!!!

    how about a contact mic duct taped to the throat? sounds strange that is for sure. agreed with comment re blue ball but let me clarify, it sounds like an sm57 stuck inside a wiffle ball.

    Need Advice

    uhhh... my guess is no. so you want to use the m300 as a converter? can it do that? i dunno, i had one back in my analog days and didnt go near that stuff. anyway, i have heard of people using the rumour as a converter. they say they have great converters on board. but in general, no.. the...

    NADY Ribbon Mic?????

    it probably would be decently easy to mod the mic if you were willing to have a nice transformer duct taped to the base of the mic. otherwise, you might have trouble fitting it in the case.. dont know cause i havent seen one yet. however, i'll probably get one... very interested i am.

    NADY Ribbon Mic?????

    my guess is that it is gonna have a perfectly decent transducer in a really good case hooked up to a totally shitty transformer. there really isnt much to a ribbon mic, and there is no reason why you couldnt get a factory in china to make one for next to nothing, but there is no getting around...

    Reverbs, Reverbs, Reverbs

    if you want a spring reverb setting just get a spring reverb: here is a perfectly decent one: http://www.musicgoround.com/gear/inventorydetails.asp?id=261636 it wont be "quiet" though. but its a friggin spring so you prolly should expect that. Ok so that is $50 furman rv-1 for effect verbs...

    High quality distortion...

    jeez really, you can get a perfectly decent electric guitar for $100-$200. i mean, not great, but something that will give you a workable tone or two. for example: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33043&item=3735023919&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW...

    Cable topic!

    if you do long runs, or have RF problems, yea, cabling can become an issue. however, in terms of an investment in a home studio where runs are rarely over 20-30 feet from mic to pre, and 5-10 feet from pre to recorder, it just shouldnt be a priority. if you are running a studio projects mic...

    Cheap vocal processing?

    how about use eq for "presence" and use a vocal chamber for reverb. that'll be free for ya. if you want a little bit of compression as "presence" hit the tape harder. if you want a little distortion and compression hit it even harder. more free. if you want to spend money on effects, a tc...
