How do you guys mount two SDC mics in an X-Y formation? Do you use two seperate boom stands or mount them on one stand with a stereo bar? I bought a bar from Guitar Center but its not right. The two screws that you mount the mic clips onto are the same length, so i cant fit the head of one...

Hi everyone, Is there a way to run normal music files from Windows, like mp3's, thru the Mbox and out to my monitors? This would be handy when i am recording to i can compare music that i like to stuff i record without having to import it into Pro Tools. My buddy says i can just into...

Has anyone used an Earthworks SRO to record solo fingerstyle acoustic guitar? A friend of mine sent a recording he did using one Earthworks SRO, a Digitube Preamp, and then straight into some sort of cd burner. The sound is amazingly good, at least to me. I know the SRO is an omni mic, so...

cool Cool. We just had a Guitar Center open here in Tallahassee, FL. I went in asking for a stereo bar, and they did not have any. Sucks. I will go back and ask again.

Does anyone know where i might find a stereo bar for a pair of Marshall MXL 603's? i have looked online and cant seem to find one. thanks anton

Hello, I have an Mbox but seem to have lost the USB cable. I replaced it with another one i had around. I seem to recall the original USB cable that came with it having that cylinder thing on one end. What is that for, and will the Mbox work with a normal USB cable, or do i have to have that...

right Good point about the room and the pre. I dont know about the pre's in the Mbox. I think they are ok, but for some reason i have to turn the gain up to like 80% to get a strong signal into Pro Tools. Part of that may be my light touch. I was thinking about getting a DMP3 to give...

sounds good Awsome stuff. I play in a very similar style. Mostly fingerpicking arrangements of celtic and traditional tunes. I have the 603's and an Mbox, but have not been able to get results this good. Very nice. Perhaps i need to look into an additional pre. anton

thanks Thanks for the input guys. Looks like the AT 4070 or 4060 is a good mic. I will probably go with it. anton

thanks Thanks. Yea, i have good stuff about the 4047, and its on my list of mics to get. Is it primarily a vocal mic that is good for guitar, or is it good all around? anton

Hey Everyone, i have a pair of the 603's and i am looking for a large diaphram to add. I play mostly acoustic fingerstyle, so the mic will used primarily for that, as well as perhaps mandolin and octave mandolin. My budget is between 500-700. I was thinking about getting a pair of cheaper...

Hey Everyone, i have been experimenting with Pro Tools trying to improve my editing techniques. Does anyone have any tips for finding edit points in Pro Tools? I have been using the Scrubber tool as well as shift-spacebar to slow down the audio. Problem is, it seems to drop the pitch, or...

Hey Everyone, I cant seem to make up my mind for a small portable recording system. Should i get a MiniDisk player/recorder or an iRiver HD-120. The iRiver is essentially a 20gig Hard drive with USB, optical/analog in and out, plus mic in. Apparently the optical in/out also double as 1/8"...

Thanks everyone. I am using a Martin 000C-1E. Its an auditorium size body with spruce top and mahogony back/sides. Its one of their more entry level instruments, but has served me pretty well. I will try moving the mics closer and backing off on the gain. Mic placement with acoustic...

Thanks for the compliments, and advice. I will give it a shot this weekend, in addition to new strings. I was amazed at what a difference that makes. The recordings are dry, no reverb or anything added. anton

Hey Everyone, I recorded an mp3 and posted it in the mp3 forum. The recording is solo acoustic guitar, miced with a pair of 603's. Here is the link to the thread: https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?threadid=113982 What i am wondering is if anyone has any idea how to improve the...

Thanks alot for the comments guys. It helps alot having complete strangers listen to this stuff, cause they hear things i don't catch. Track Rat: You are right, i do have the gain on the Mbox cranked to about 75%. I have a light attack, and often it seems like i just cant a strong enough...

Hey Everyone, Just uploaded a few mp3's to some webspace of mine. http://home.earthlink.net/~emeryfamily/music.html I mostly arrange celtic tunes for solo guitar. Gear used is a Martin 000C-E spruce/mahagony. Mics are a pair of MXL 603's. One mic is pointed slightly down at the lower...

Hey, Does anyone have the iRiver 20gig portable mp3 player/recorder? I was looking at getting one due to the fact that all the reviews said it had an input for a external mic. I attend alot of music camps and irish sessions, and it would be convenient way for me to record tunes and then just...
