    Piano Mic Help!

    Be patient Wookie. It's the weekend and people are busy. Also understand that many of the regulars on this site are sound professionals. There are certain members who are good enough to offer help to "newbies", but sometimes you will have to decode what they mean and sift through their...

    Does quality of a digital field recorder matter if---

    you are using it with SPDIF out of quality preamps and quality mics? For instance if I use my Microtrack 11 with say a good preamp and mic, how would using a higher end field recorder impact the quality of sound. Would their be a difference?

    Do you need a special preamp for ribbon mics?

    Thanks, so it sounds like a high end preamp would work as well with a ribbon as one that is designated "ribbon mic preamp"---

    Piano Mic Help!

    That's a coincidence. I have a Steinway B in a room with exactly the same dimensions and layout as yours. I don't work with a computer and not familiar with how that set up works, so I'm not sure how much I can help. I'm using a microtrack digital recorder with premaps, and experimenting with...

    Have a question concerning ribbon mics y'all

    Hi Marik, I knew you would forgive me if I came to my senses Ok I'll take your recommendations literally, without variation. I'll get the C'4's first, used if possible, and experiment with the omni capsules. I'll dump the idea of selectable pattern mics. Then I will decide whether to move on to...

    Have a question concerning ribbon mics y'all

    Well, budget is a big factor, but even if I had a lot $, I wouldn't want to throw it away on buying mics I might not use. The other part is "poisonality" and the other part is---when you come into forums such as this and you don't know much, you get flooded with opinions, and you don't have the...

    Have a question concerning ribbon mics y'all

    For the time being I've abandoned the idea of ribbon mics. They seem to fussy for a beginner home recorder like myselfand I'm too "all over the map"--like a kid in a candy store without too much $$$. I'll keep experimenting with LDC's and MDC's (my Pulsars.) I'm trying to sell my matched pair...

    Have a question concerning ribbon mics y'all

    Most of the rentals in my area are stuff for conventions and even though it might save me in the long run if I found the right rental place if it exists, I hate to put any money into anything I don't own. I have the Pulsars, first pair I bought based on reviews. They sound pretty damned good to...

    Have a question concerning ribbon mics y'all

    Thanks for the info. Yeah, I probably should abstain, if don't like, won't be able to unload. Can't really afford that, thanks for reminding me. Think I'll stick with what I have for now. I know a lot of people turn their noses up at the Rodes mics. Of course I don't have much experience or much...
