    Some bastard at Shure had my LEGIT ebay listing removed.

    Did you link to a website that was not yours? I had ebay pull an auction because the owner of a website was searching out ebay auctions to see if anyone was linking to his site, which sold the same mic, only new (mine was used). Funny thing is, I thought the site I linked to was a band site...

    so who is the big cheese in ribbon mics this week?

    RM-4 Dual Ribbon Microphone Here's a "Steller" Dual Ribbon mic. I'm sure it's the same mic as some of the more popular "cheap" brands. It's asking price is $175 BUT!! You can use the "Make offer" feature and likely get it for $100-$120. I got one, I like it. No, I'm not the seller. For $100...

    Is it wrong to like The Edge?

    People who put down the Edge (I'm no big fan, but that's just me) for using effects aren't seeing the big picture. The electric guitar+amp is no different from using delay or reverb or what have you. The electric guitar+amp IS an EFFECT! Do people think Eddie Van Halen and Hendrix are going to...

    Is it wrong to like The Edge?

    True for the most part, though Cobain was not even on the level of Townsend and people liked his stuff. I never thought much of his writing. Even a guy like Jimmy Page is no techincal wizard, he was a pretty sloppy player a good deal of the time but like you said, it's the riffs, the emotion and...

    Has Studio Projects lost it's edge?

    As it is with almost any microphone in any price range Chinese or not.

    LISTEN..Modded Oktava 319 vs. standard ShureKSM 32

    Well the guys gotta learn how to tune his guitar first. The mod may sound better to some, to me the difference may possibly be an improvment, but accounting for mic placement levels and the performance I'm not totally convinced the orginal can't be made to sound as good.

    Erasing tape, advice please

    I've recorded on to used/erased tape for 20 years and sure a few times ran into a problem with dropouts and the like, I've also had these very same problems with brand new tape as have most people recording analog if they've done it long enough. Only ran into SSS twice in my life. Overal it's...

    Look what I won

    Ghost, It does say the remote is included in the auction. I love my TSR but figured, what the heck, sometimes you have to take a gamble. I did talk to the seller before hand and he was very upfront and told me he hadn't used it in years and feels it still works fine but because he can't test it...

    Erasing tape, advice please

    Throw them away? Why would you toss them if they could be used again? I mean what's the worst that came happen?

    Has Studio Projects lost it's edge?

    The C-1 was all the rage and it doesn't matter if it was/is a great mic or not because after awhile people just love to knock you off the top of the mountain, we're fickle like that. It should be noted that I've rarely seen anyone bash the B-1, most seem to agree it's still a great mic at a...

    Has Studio Projects lost it's edge?

    The Peluso mics I know of are not at all cheap mics so the "OMG" factor doesn't factor in to a $1,200+ mic. A mic in that price range should sound great.

    Tascam 48 I took a chance, we'll see how it turns out. Thoughts?

    Overdriving the hell out of my 388

    Well you're not going to get a low-fi sound simply by not recording with DBX and I've never found it useful on play back to engage DBX if you didn't record with it, just a bunch of pumping and garbled noise. Just my opinion, your mileage may vary.

    LISTEN..Modded Oktava 319 vs. standard ShureKSM 32

    Sounds a bit muddy to me. It might work good in a sparse acoustic based song, but I'm not sure it would work in a dense mix with loud instruments. Then again you never really know until you try.

    Simple. Your Favourite vocal mic.

    As you should know the $200 Apex 460 is the same mic as the $1,400 Telefunken M16 (as shown here telefunken/apex) so your cheap mic is not really a cheap mic at all! or is it just that we are brained washed into thinking a Telefunken is really worth $1,200 more?? Oh, btw, I have the SAME MIC as...

    Demagnetizer to erase tape?

    I read: If bulk erasing tape, don't just set the tape on the bulk eraser and turn it on, erase the tape and turn it off. If you do this, you will leave a pattern on the tape which can be heard if played. As the erase head does not erase all the tape, but leaves a small gap between the tracks...

    Interesting article (a bit about the TASCAM 388 too!)

    Amazon link Above is a link to samples off Mr. Stoltz Album. I agree with the spirit of how he works, but from the samples feel perhaps he should take a little more time as IMO it doesn't really sound all that good from a recording angle. It has an old school flavor, but the 388 is capable of...

    Off topic but check this baby out! MARTIN

    The Martin Factory is just down the road from me (well, about an hour or so) so I'm partial to them. Check out what this baby sold for. 1969 Martin D-45

    reverb

    Just wondering, how do you know what he can afford? And what makes you think you have to spend a lot to get a good (not just "usable) reverb unit? Hype?

    Vocal Chain Connections

    Go to this ebay store and search. They have tons of cables and sizes and a million other things. Their cables seem to be very good quality at a very good price. Almost 20,000 feedbacks and not one single negative, that has to account for something. SpeakerRepair
