I tested out for the first time my new mk-012 pair and jesus did it make a noticeable improvement in the sound of my overheads. I've been using those ECM8000's and there is absolutely no comparison. For Blues/rock, those silly little oktavas I bought form guitar center are the shit. Now lets...

my pal at AT tells me that when the at4040 came out they renamed the at4033 to the at4033cl which stands for classic. apparently despite it being around for so many years, it is still a staple in many studios so AT has decided to let it hang around. The 4040's job was to improve on what...

as a general use condensor, I'm very happy with the 4040. I've used it about on anything you can imagine. Bgavin, I'll aske him about the aforementioned mics. Give me a week or so and keep an eye open for the post.

its not just the specs. Check out recording magazines review of the mic and their opinions as well. Besides my buddy at Audio technica really doesn't have any reason to push either one, especially the lower priced 4040. He simply states that their R&D dept at audio technica feels the AT4040...

hey leavings, it seems as though I might have a tough time obtaining the rack and you may be the best man for the rack. I defer it to you as i am unable to pick it up (both car and house are a bit too small)

I have an errand to run in detroit so this weekend should work fine

would this weekend be feasible?

i live in kalamazoo, how long do you fathom it would take for me to get there? Blake

A good friend of mine works for Audio Technica in Stow, Ohio. He has told me that the only reason they keep the AT4033 around is that it has been sort of a standard "must have" in any mic locker for the past several years. With that said, he tells me that the specs for the AT4040 are actually...

I've purchased the following based on this forum: M-Audio TAMPA preamp AT4040 BLUE mic cables Proper digital cables ATM25 ECM8000 and finally....... a matched pair of oktava mk-012's from guitar center after hearing all the rave reviews on this forum. Incidentally, I got them for $99 and yes...

why is this? Do you get signal degradation if the resistance is different?

I should know this and I know it applies to XLR and other analog cords, but to what degree does the qulity of digital cable play in the signal route. Is it okay to run out of the digital outs of my preamp with a simple rca cable like one uses for their stereo, or do I need something better...

when i say warmer, i mean in comparison to the pres on my korg d16. i'm utilizing the digital outs which seem pretty nice as well. i picked it up from samedaymusic.com for $400 including 2nd day air ups. life is good thus far

my tampa just arrived today. so far on vocals it is a good deal warmer. I'll let you all know the scoop over the next couple of days. The manual seems fairly imformative. Blake

what's with the price drop on all the m-audio preamps? tampa at $400 and the DMP3 at $160? Manufacturer driven? Is some big change expected with m-audio?

you could not have made a more valid point!!!!

on that note, I also upgrade my at3525 to the at4040 which both here and recording magazine have given favorable reviews. so...i'm at a point where i think a new preamp is the next step. a good a/d converter would help, but i gotta have the preamp to begin with and like everyone, i'm limited...

Well, to be honest, I have done a bit of reading on this forum over the past year and really made an attempt to follow some of the advice mentioned. I dry-walled my basement, put up owens corning 703 on the walls and carpeted the floor. The acoustics have improved drastically. My korg d16 is...

have a heart there man!!!! I'm still a resident. Gimme another 2 yrs and we'll talk. Until then, m-audio tampa or penta???? the m-audio does come with the digital outs which is nice!!

anyhtought on the m-audio tempa vs the focusrite penta unit. I know the tampa already comes with the a/d converter. yet I've heard the tampa is only "ok" for recording vocals. I'd like to chosse the one that will have more universal application
