    Soundcraft 24/24/8/2 $950 mint.

    Please refer to my initial post. You will have to do a little research for the specs. I also noticed in your profile that you are from Vancouver. As I also mentioned in the initial post, the console is VERY large and VERY heavy and cannot be shipped cheaply. When I did some research at the...

    shure 57 & 58, the same?

    Let me clarify things a bit here... Yes both cartridges are identical (though different in the Beta models) However, the different grilles DO change the frequency response. If you have ever A/B'd the mic's onstage, you will notice a clear 8k presence peak to the 58. In addition, the shorter...

    Thanks Chris... I actually have a printed out manual from the site around here, however, I was unable to find the URL the last time around at the Soundcraft site. Thanks a bunch for the tip :-)

    Is it imperative to use a shockmount?.... Harvey?... Anyone?

    I've always used shockmounts. I can't see any reason this wouldn't solve all your vibration problems. The obvious drawback is it'll be a pain to get the mic positioned the way you want it. I like to use a blueberry as a distance mic on kit. If you don't get it just right, you may as well not...

    ultra dumb newbie question about external preamps

    "What do I do? Just plug the XLR cable into the channel on the board and turn it all the way down on sensivity and crank it on the external preamp?" You got it ! Here's your signal chain: Mic-pre-channel-ADAT. It's that simple. Crank the quality pre and back your board preamps all the way...

    Is it imperative to use a shockmount?.... Harvey?... Anyone?

    I would recommend you use the shockmount. There are a number of good posts earlier in this thread explaining how acoustics travel through solids. In other words, the way you can hear a train coming three miles away on the tracks. The severity of this condition depends on the "Q" of the material...

    Soundcraft 24/24/8/2 $950 mint.

    I have a Soundcraft Studio 8 buss I need to get rid of. I'm ditching it DIRT cheap. Ask anyone on this site. It's 24 channels with a mix B on every channel. Four band EQ, two sweepable mids... tons of features, great shape. Please note- This is a heavy duty board- not for beginners. It's...

    does audio technica make good mics?

    What application is the mic intended for? Although R&B isn't my specialty, I've had a little experience in the genre both in live and recorded situations. In live application, the biggest problem is universally feedback rejection and dynamic range. I highly recommend an Audix OM-5 if you...

    behringer

    actually... "Yeah, their mixers are crap, but some of their outboard gear is quite useful...." Not true... We have a Eurodesk 48/24/8/2 with our 24 track studio. It's a great board. Here's the catch... For a few years, Behringer copied Mackie's pre-amp design (the same way they do to...
