You cannot get to a mic'd situation that the OP referred to as 'natural' without considering all the factors involved. An anechoic chamber sounds horrible for music. In a recording chain, the mic is more than not often the lowest rung on the ladder as far as purity. It cannot be otherwise.

Lately I'm finding a use for the C4/C6 in noisy guitar tracks. I'll put the UAD Cambridge EQ on first and then massage the nastiness out of the track with the multiband...string 'sling'... amp background noises....picking chunks...etc... and then use two bands to create an upward...

The impedance knob is your very best friend.

There's nothing in the NEC that covers this. However, the logic behind 'ground down' is this: in a situation where something or someone has fallen or knocked a cord connected to the receptacle nearly out of place the LAST thing you want to disconnect is the built-in safety. This something that...

Why don't you simply ask your questions over the phone with them before you hire them? Most electricians are conscientious and fairly intelligent individuals who rely on word of mouth as well as their media coverage to buoy their reputations. At least for the smaller shops. Just because a...

I've heard good things about the WA273-EQ. They seem like a good company. I've talked to them on the phone a couple of times and I own a WA76 which is pretty good as long as you're not expecting it to be a real 1176. Like everything, all the clones and copies can do a job and most do it well...

My ViPre is the main pre in the vocal signal chain in my room. There's NOTHING better. A few in the same league but different sounding. You are right about the "hi-fi" of these pieces. The ViPre has a couple more bells and whistles than the SuPre and they are very usable. I used to look for the...

Nice room'O'crap.... I love this stuff! Nice 65. You have a Groove Tubes! I thought I was the only one. I looked very hard at a SuPre someone had for sale on Reverb a while back but didn't pull the trigger. I have a ViPre already but would have liked two channels for those drum overs and room...

Comfort is one thing...it can usually be accomplished by having a welcoming and interested attitude towards a client.......but smoke especially from cigarettes contains chemicals which will eventually break down electronic components inside the gear. Sure, it can be replaced but I personally...

You can kinda see what's what. As far as the configuration goes. Gear-wise there's (left) an early Joe Meek comp v:2.07, a JJ Audio modded Art VLA (made in USA..I bought it new), a Drip Audio Opto 6(LA2A), and a Warm Audio WA76, and a Parasound HA1000 amp prepped by Sundholm Engineering for the...

Desk is custom made. Not for me though. I bought it from a studio changing their set-up. It had a Digi 24 in it so I rebuilt the center section for my Artist controls. There's also two 14 space racks under it for the rest of the rack gear. The Six-Pack has a Retro Doublewide, a Grace 502, a...

There's an aspect here that a generalization like this statement doesn't begin to cover..... "Talent" as a free form generalized description doesn't really delineate WHAT type of talent is being inferred...Are you talking musical talent ie: song writing, instrument playing, song arrangement...

Different heights and depths on every shelf. Hardbacks with lots of pages. Second hand stores have lots of books.

Sorry for the blurry pics. The site won't let me upload the hi-res stuff...

Royer R101. If you want to add it to the 57 it'll be amazing. 135db rated. You place it in the center of the iso-box. It's figure-of-8. You get everything.

I had one just like that in the early 70's

There's nothing like it.

Is there such a thing as a "standard mic set-up" for a drum kit? I'm just messin wit cha simply because EVERYONE seems to think that the best drum recorded sounds come from close-micing and multiple layers of room and overheads. My thinking runs more to serving the song in the case of...

ALL of my preamps are the best for somthin...... Main vocal is usually - Choice of mic according to need> Groove Tubes ViPre > LA2A or Grace 502> 1176 > PT HD. So the answer for me is "hardware"

There are SO MANY mics that are "clear and crisp"....some way more than needed. And here's where learning about what works well for your particular voice is going to be an invaluable tool for choosing something you're going to want to live with. Since it's only your voice, it makes this a finite...
