This might be interesting to the OP. The key section is halfway down the page and gives some examples of what a FM radio station might use before the signal get's transmitted. Audio Mastering - Radio Processing

Excellent advice. It's probably more useful to look at reviews than specs, and ask around online/look for user opinions when you've zeroed in on a few mics. Excellent specs might not make a mic sound nice.

I'd try a spaced pair of mics near the corners on one wall, with the singer and a close-mic in the middle. I've had good results (sometimes) by putting the singer at one point of an equilateral triangle made of mics. I've gradually stopped adding room sound to vocals I record though, I find it...

Wether it was or wasn't, I too looked at the post and thought 'does not look legit'. Perhaps I'm wrong (I'd like to be in this case), but it might be the way the original post(s) was written rather than the content. It was quite a gushing torrent of praise. That said, I would be interested to...

Lets hope it doesn't lock you into one storage provider and lets you upload to an ftp of your choosing, then it would get seriously useful and might be worth an upgrade on its own....

That's perhaps more like what you were trying to get across the first time round, but it was misleading/incorrect the way you wrote it - apologies if I seemed to jump on you there :/ I'd be interested to see if there is a noticable problem with jitter, the options seem to be feeding the signal...

The MR824 has a wordclock out that should eliminate any issues with jitter if the devices dont sync properly via adat or spdif, which is pretty unlikely. With most modern interfaces there isn't really a big issue as they nearly all include some 'jitter reduction technology'. Not true, and the...

What happened (or didn't happen)? Driver/compatability issues?

Just read this. Wouldn't using the Insert point on the SSL stop the signal getting to the line output unless you feed it a signal on the return line of the insert cable? Inserts are generally in series rather than in parallel with the input so you normally need to have a returning signal...

Sounds like a few people didn't read the original post...pretty clear that the problem is the preamp only being able to give 20dB of gain...not a tone issue as Robus suggested. I would also reccomend the OP get a 'proper' (read: studio focussed) interface to run the output of the BOSS into it...

It's probably worth saying that if you batch export files Cubase will use the fader/pan settings you've got going on, so things can sound a bit odd (i.e. levels all over the place) when you remove all your plugins. It'll also export everthing that ends up coming out of a stereo output as a...

You'd notice a fiur bit more difference. API and Neve pre's are famed for having a certain 'tone' (i.e. can be quite coloured). It'd be hard to sort out a 'fair' shootout with a neve style pre vs the ones you have here, as you can control the 'colour' somewhat by driving the input hard and...

That's a much harder question to answer - there isn't any way of telling without testing the mics, as there isn't any clear consensus on one being 'better' than the others for the money. Sorry I can't be more helpful but without acess to your actualy voice and a selection of these mics there...

As someone who has the pre-73 (19" rack version of the 573) I can probably help? I have a pair that I use regularly and just got modded. As a note the 573 is a 500 series module and you'll need a 500 series rack for it. The pre-73 WILL give you enough gain, but it will be in no-way 'clean'. The...

Sounds like you need an amplifier of some sort to boost the signal from the microphone. Possibly a mic pre-amplifier (or to turn up an existing amplifier)? I would infer from your post that when you said 'speaker' you meant the person who is speaking rather than the loudspeakers? If not...

You'll want to look at the average to get the rms over the whole track. However, one should always avoid compressing/processing by the numbers. Use your ears, not your eyes. Wether something 'needs' compression is entirely down to what you want the end result to sound like - there is more than...

Absolutely. Personally, unless a pre is super distinctive in character most of the hype about preamps is way overblown. I think there is a great tendency to get snobbish about lower end gear, when the sound actually comes from the musicians, not the kit. I have a few outboard pre's for colour...

This thread is 4 years old...

Se Electronics X1? Affordable (cheap-ish) cardioid condenser. Given the price range, you might get a change of tone from those mics (which might suit your voice better), but not an overall improvement in 'quality'. I use a cheap and nasty Se Electronics 2000a for a lot of vocals, and it does a...

Reasonable. As an engineer it is part of the job to give fair and resonable feedback on the quality of tracks/stems you are given and flag potential issues before the project starts. If you over-promise and under-deliver on quality/timescale then that's something to learn from for next time...
