I have two MK319s: one I had MJ do the PE Mod, the other I did myself (no electronics - it sounds fine with just the physical mods). My suggestion: Do the headbasket and disk mods yourself. The inner mesh just sits inside and is not connected (welded/soldered) so all you have to do is pull...

Confused and disappointed. My first vocal condenser was an AT4033. Combined with my ADAT and Mackie 1604, lets' just say I was confused. Confused at how terrible the combination sounded on my voice. I HATED it. I spent countless hours working with that mic to try to tame the hashiness of it...

Well, it just goes to show that people would probably buy gear from an extremist terrorist group if they could save $5 on a $1,000 item. The the record, I bought one item from MA WAY back when they were pretty new on eBay.....a Rode NTK. My experience was that upon close inspection, the mic...

BTW, if you're willing to use a digital device that sounds analog and will produce a bunch of unique sounds, try a Boss SE-50 1/2 rack unit. Dirt cheap. Digital but very analog sounding. The best flanger I have ever heard (especially if you ever use stereo)....warm, gooey, lush. Excellent...

I think the Ibanez AD-80 is a great analog delay pedal. But beware, it uses 18 volts for power - two 9 volt batteries. A friend of mine built a custom power supply for me with 12 volts (which is what boss pedal really run on) and 18 volts for the Ibanez (which I no longer have.....damn!!!)...

EZDrummer probably has more of the type of grooves you seem to be seeking. Also, you can always check out Groove Monkey for more grooves.

I have both and both are good. FWIW I had EZDrummer first. To jump to the conclusion, I'd pick Addictive Drums without pause. Both are easy to use. EZDrummer might be a tad easier and the groove variation more useful for what you seem to be looking for. EZDrummer has a humanizing feature that...

Holy Buyers Remorse, Batman. This is like a GPO (group purchasing Organization) for small business and we the participants are the small (very small) business. There are risks in any business venture. Most people going into a business venture weight the risks verses rewards and makes decisions...

I'd recommend a Studio Projects B1 for a LD - it is better than any f the LD mics you have mentioned IMO and probably costs less too. It's a nice workhorse mic that you can use on voice and guitar (and many other things) and the build quality is way better than the price would suggest. Another...

If you card has 1/2" inputs, you'd be better off running the mic directly into the card than by putting it throught the QV GT. BTW, the reason the GT is mentioned as a "preamp" is because it added distortion/overdrive to the unti to gear it more towards guitarists. It is NOT a preamp, CERTAINLY...

Well, I owned a 650XL and currently still own two 550XLs. I am not sure about the 750XL, except that the PU config is different than the 650XL, but........in general. The core construction of the guitars is almost the same. The550XL is more plain - dot markers, no binding, etc. Maple neck...

If it has 7027A tubes the amp must use them, 6550 or KT88. 7027A can have somewhat different sizes. I know as I have had two Ampeg VT-22 amps (still have one) and back in the day things were a bit different. Anyway, I once replaced two of mt four 7027A tubes and they were very scarce (no...

Agree 100% An average Epiphone LP is WAY better............ .....as are just about any of the Korean glued-in neck guitars these days.

I really like the Karma K6 a lot..........

That is truly a real ripoff and those mics are not good at all IMO.

The AT4040 is a very good mic and you won't go wrong with it; however, don't discount the B1 because of the price.

The Baby Bottle to me sounds nice on vocals (mine) when solo'd or in a sparse mix. It has no uglies or hashiness, like many other mics. However, it tends to get lost in a mix pretty quickly, probably because of the rolled off high end. It has nice depth. It is relatively neutral compared to...

No $25,000 studio would be complete without Altmann's Tube-o-lator Lacquer. Check it out here: Altmann's Tube-o-later Lacquer BTW, make sure to keep your cable runs short, no more than 4 cm.

This is easy....the KSM137. If you don't buy them please pass them on to me!!! I have never used the KSM137 to record a piano, but it is a mic that is very clean, clear and true. it's not exciting, but for a lot of things you'd use them for you don't want exciting....you just want to hear the...

It most closely resembles an MXL M3 (hence 3000 moniker?) I don't know if it has similar internals. The external is similar but not the same. EX: The grill is chrome on the M3 painted on the 3000. AFAIK, the less expensive MF versions of mics can have lessexpensive components. I have an M3...
