    Dynamic, condenser or even ribbon: can you tell ?

    I can hear the differences in my mic collection on sources tracked in my room...I can almost tell which preamp these sources might be pumped through on occasion. Its much easier when the source is solo'd........When the whole mix is applied its a guess. Sometimes , when I get projects to mix, I...

    Stacking multiple track E.G. Vox, Guitars, Bass

    In PT once you assign your audio tracks to an aux stereo track the pan position of the individual original tracks will show up in the aux buss as their position you place them in. If these original tracks are 'stereo' to begin with then their individual pan position will only matter to the aux...

    Are there any "budget"/lower cost tube mics that are any good?

    A tube mic for vocal work is always going to be needed. A 'budget' tube mic brings along with it ,sometimes, things you don't want printed with the voice it's trying to high-light and enhance. I also believe that tube mics START at a grand for higher quality that you're gonna want to keep...

    Shure SMb7

    There are so many mics that actually really decent for particular voices. Some you'd never guess and the only way to know is to have a bunch of em and just do some experimenting. One of the 'flattest' full-bodied mics for vocals I have ever used is an SM81. They used to have a vocal screen...

    Static Feedback when recording and Bouncing

    It sounds like the interface isn't following the set sample rate for the already recorded material

    Warm microphone for male spoken voice (rap/slam poetry)

    Why does it seem to always start with a condenser mic as a recommendation? A quality dynamic is always going to give a warmer and much more controllable sound to voice. EV RE20... Heil PR40... I won't say Shure SM7b since I don't know the chain. Sennheiser MD 421....Neumann BCM 705.... If...

    Recording Drums and Guitar

    Since he is already running studio one and PT wouldn't it make sense to get a Presonus studio live board?

    Mixing and EQing drums in rock or prog/rock

    Every project defines these questions by the arrangement of the songs in the style they are set in. Drums have several functions in a multi instrumental arrangement. Your choice of how to present them will be dependent on what their function for the song is. If the drums are 'leading' the...

    What Gibson Is This??

    I am mistaken. IF it is a 336 it is a CS-336 not an ES-336. (different headstocks) However in response to your corrections to me.....for whatever reasons....Because this guitar seems to have gold speed knobs(hard to see )and what looks to be meatier frets with (it seems) thicker binding on the...

    What Gibson Is This??

    Either an ES-339 or an ES-336. Basically the same guitars except the 336 is a bit higher end. With that top that's where I'm going with it.

    Recording (creating) higher vocal parts than I can sing.

    Melodyne will work. I use it all the time for backing vocals. BUT....any time you are changing the pitch of a recorded anything, the timbre is going to be stretched and will sound different and sometimes not in a good way.

    Best bass rig ideas

    I have a bunch of bass guitar options available. In my 30+ years of tracking this particular instrument (it's the one I'm most proficient on) the ONE universal truth is this......Simple. Direct to the capture medium. The bass instrument and the player make the sound what it is. The engineer's...

    Recording vocal on two mics

    some vocalists exhibit differeent tonalities physically with some nasal resonance and some chest resonance. If it's really pronounced I will "stack" two mics with different response characteristics to capture this.

    whats your 2020 setup?

    Last year I gradually got rid of pieces that see very little use so now I'm down to 24 analog inputs. I could do 32 with another DAC but I haven't found a need. Most bands can be tracked with 16 if you like that live interplay you get when tracking everyone at once, but usually it comes down to...

    Sm57+MD421 Mic combo for Amp

    I liked this explanation. Which I borrowed..... Loudspeaker Doppler distortion: the cause Doppler effect can give rise to distortion - Doppler distortion in moving coil loudspeakers. The distortion is noticed when a high frequency tone is being reproduced at the same time as the cone is...

    Is there any mic better than the Neuman U87?

    Any mic will capture a vocal source unless it's broken...... Whether it's the RIGHT mic for that particular voice in that particular environment through that particular electronic chain is anyone's best guess. A home recordist who primarily records only them selves in their own space...

    Which warm audio gear to get?

    I owned a WA76 comp for a couple of years. It was nice.....not outstanding but it did work and did have that vibe that original 1176's have....just not as much. Although I did like it running a guitar through it without any buttons pushed and putting a tube comp behind it. I've heard the WA...

    Solved Accordian Saxophone Vocal Studio Mic ........any suggetstions

    Recording an accordion can be a lot of work and for the reasons outlined by Rob earlier. I know the OP has flown away but somebody might learn something from this. A real accordion player will most likely have an instrument that is in good shape. This will include no air leakage to speak of...
