    Room mics?

    I've had surprisingly good luck in oddball circumstances using a pair of conference mics. These are "pressure gradient", "boundary" or PZM style mics. Mine appeared like magic after I had an ebay spasm... but I kinda like 'em. I used them to great advantage when doing sound reinforcement for an...

    Live Recording??

    Since this will be your first foray into the world of live demos, there are two rules to remember: 1. Keep it simple. 2. Refer to Rule #1. I'll add my "yessir" to all of the suggestions so far, especially GZ who nailed it. Here's how I would approach the task. I'd plan on recording perhaps...

    recording 20 voices

    How about something simple and old school? An Alesis 24 channel unit (HD24XR) with analog inputs would allow you to pull analog signal off a 24 channel mixer using the mixer inserts and a 1/4" - 1/4" x24 snake. (Tap into the insert and simply don't return the signal to the mixer). Your front end...

    TV work

    Beautiful - very smooth sound! You were running a single overhead on the drum kit and what else? Couldn't see what else was picking up drums.

    patch for a behringer B-Control?

    I have a B-control unit (BCF2000) that works great with Reaper. I also use AA3 for post-tweaking and so forth and have been frustrated trying to get the control unit working with this program. I end up setting everything to a Mackie universal or some other standard but it seems as if the program...

    Cheap Tube Amp for recording? / Low volume recording / Importance of room

    Mine weren't exactly classics, but they were fine amps. One was a Trace TA30 and the other an older big-ass Fishman Loudbox. Kind of the alpha and omega of acoustic non tube amps. The Trace had gorgeous low volume tone but the small speaker would distort when cranked with a large acoustic...

    Mackie 1202 -VLZ As A Pa Mixer?

    Yep. That's my setup. I think its a great way to go. The 1202 is different from the VLZ primarily in that it has an older preamp design. There is no change functionally and you will find that as you become familiar with the mixer, you will recognize the same thing happening with other brands of...

    Cheap Tube Amp for recording? / Low volume recording / Importance of room

    I'm looking at a Vox Lil' Night Train that may fit your needs. It is the little brother of the better known Night Train and is available under $400. All tube, no reverb, no tremelo. 2 watts and a headphone output that lets it be used as a very nice preamp or recording front end. There's a "low -...

    String buzzing

    How's the humidity at your place? Low humidity will make the guitar dry out and that will mess with the string action. And also - farting around like that with the truss rod is a good way to end up with a crack in the neck. You can easily lose track of where a safe range of tension should be and...

    Best low wattage valve amp?

    I'm looking at a Vox Night Train - Cheezo, do you have one? Anybody else using one? Right now I'm using an older Fishman Loudbox which sounds good with my acoustic and delivers clean tone to an ES335 clone and a hollow body jazzbox. But this thing weighs a ton. Like 60 pounds or something...

    Will a mix done at low volume & sounding good be so when played loud ?

    How quiet is "quiet"? If you're mixing on a small set of monitors you may need some volume just to hear everything the speaker will produce. I wrestle with this all the time and have never been really happy with my results and there's no budget for higher end monitors. I'm using a powered set...
