even hosa is decent if you never ever move it. especially when you compare it to everything else in the signal chain. as ethan points out above. gigging with hosa i wouldnt recommend though, unless you want to play the "which cable is broken" game every few months. dont play the cable game...

the level loc clone is made by this guy. not sure if he has any left. but i built one myself. its easy enough (my first DIY project, worked right away). http://messageboard.tapeop.com/viewtopic.php?t=16098&highlight=sherlock

now that you have the mxr, you might want to experiment with bussing like sending a drum mix to the mxr, maybe without so much kick and barely any cymbals, smashing it beyond belief, and mixing that in with the dry drums. then you get the nice full attack of the drums, cymbals hand a bit...

no. that company frightens me for some reason. i think it is the whole, 8 mic preamps for $99 thing. scary. very scary. but 8 channels of optical compression for $499? how strange. who is the market for this? who would need this? certainly interested in this box despite my fear of the company...

i did a whole record with the m201 for vocals. i used that big old "wind screen" that comes with the mic. i was using it for a REALLY sloppy female vocalist who sort of shout/sings/raps. the wind screen gave you enough distance so you didnt have to worry so much about the proximity effect. and...

um.. ok. wait. yea, they sound different. like more different than you think. they both are pretty useful. if you are looking at them in terms of strict fidelity, software plug-ins offer great price/performance. so they work well for invisible compression/limiting, eqs can be nice as well...

when i read the header of this thread i thought it was going to be about if people get good reviews, how much radio play, what great musicians you get to record, what quality of music passes through, how many people get to hear your stuff...

patchbays are cheap. redco has neutrik bays goin for 50 bucks right now. the cables you use to patch everything to everything on the other hand... that is where the $$$ comes in...

actually those cheapo boxes are kinda cool, but not really in the way that they tell you that they are. i played with that behr one, i liked it as a fuzz box DI. for microphone, it was sort of lacking in the meat, but had a lot of fuzzy face available. could be cool on some things. kick drum...

how about this: audix on the snare, b1 3 feet out from the kick 2 feet up. and the 609 as an OH. that might be fun.

me hates the 835 for the most part in the studio (that mic has a biting edge to it), but live it is fine, heck, perhaps much better than the 57 (for dull PAs). depending on the system. i would say, get whatever is cheapest at your nearest pawn shop if you are in a rush. well anything from EV...

well for $100 or less the sp b1 is good. but in the $100 and less i would also look at: cad m177 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=41466&item=3730748063&rd=1 oktava 319 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=41466&item=3732329841&rd=1 mxl v67g...

well the reason that i find the ratings pretty close to useless is that they are devoid of context. so as an opinion they have less meaning. what makes this board more useful is that after a while, you can get to know the people on it, know their style, their gear, their techniques, their...

what is strange is that a friend of mine who really isnt into recording asked me the same question about the EXACT same mics... and all i could think was, "you really gotta open up your options". then he kept talking about the "ratings" on musicians friend as if they meant much. strange...

i am in the get the small amp camp. a fender champ is a hell of an amp. (the old ones at least) and arent obscenely expensive (at the very least they will increase in value in time... UNLIKE the pod which will be worth about as much as an 80's digitech multieffects rack unit in a few years). i...

2 57s in x-y sound pretty cool on drums... very indie/punky. i would stick with that. limited sound, but a good sound. if, for some reason, you had to limit yourself to radioshack, a pzm mic would round it out well. but really, why limit yourself. if you want a single mic to add to your 2 57s...

agreed. i believe that horrible tone you are hearing is your voice (freed from sympathetic vibrations of your skull and other factors that cause you to not hear your own voice correctly while you sing). i say this because i have a horribly nasal voice that i cant hear till it is recorded... so i...

let me throw some mics out here: beyer m101 http://www.fullcompass.com/ImageFromDB.aspx?imgid=977&srctbl=doc ev re55 http://www.bsu.edu/met/gobbledygook/cr/electrovoice/ev_re55_info.html both of these you might be able to get for about $120 each used. less than that if you are lucky. they are...

how many reverb plugins are you running? you might want to consider running fewer... like maybe 1-3. that is really all you need unless you are going for something really crazy... can you run 3 reverbs? 1 for vocals, leads (a plateish thing). 2 for "room" (a roomish thing). 3 for "special...

yep the m179 is nice. especially at its price point. if you are looking for used, the e300 is nicer. (slightly sweeter top end). usually $250 or so. never used a b3.
