Right - it doesn’t sound like the U87 at all - it sounds like a small improvement of the midrange response- I’d heard about this mod - and as usual the guys modding the AKG Perception P220 act like it’s the second coming -
Well first thing as @deletedmember196982 noted you need to record you vocals louder - probably put a Desser on the track - then send to a buss and put a FET Compressor
( whatever gets you a Bluestripe 1176 type) and a Opto Compressor Style - it’s called parallel compression - and you want both...
Quite an amazing mixer - what are the inputs for the Stereo Channels (5/6 and 7/8) - meaning how do you get signal in? RCA? 1/4 Inch?
If you only have 4 mic sources it’s pretty handy - kind of a pain if you have more - Good Price though $199 on Amazon.
What are you using for Playback? IOWs what is the two mono cables plugging into? If it’s a Mixer - then are you panning hard right and left on the two channels? if it’s something else is there a Mono switch on it? For example my headphone amp can sum to mono or stereo.
I have nothing to add - except it sounds like you have an exceptional relationship with Bron - I wonder with your skillset that you might like to teach others - like a Handyman 101 course - you don’t have to trust anyone - but you get around people who are vested in your knowledge.
Call me the Dumbest Bunny - but that doesn’t make a lick of sense to me - What do you mean ‘to get the system to work without active guitar input is to turn the noise gate off.’? - so the system doesn’t work with an active guitar? Obviously it does - I can’t wrap my head around this - it must...
You could get an excellent Desktop for under $400 at Amazon - 32 gb ram and 2 tb harddrive.
Dell Optiplex 5060 Desktop Computer - although the silent mode is hard to get in your budget.
I know but you said 'From the UMC1820 I connect 2 in/outputs to the send/return of the 2101.’ - it sounded like you were sending a stereo signal into a mono input.
What’s the I/O app? Is this a product of your X32 Control Surface in Logic?
I don’t mean to be so dumb - but this doesn’t make...
The GSP2101 has a mono FX out - are you using a splitter cable or something?
The Cab simulator on the GSP2101 doesn’t sound good?
I’m not following - the noise gate should effect both the dry and effects signal.
Do you run the additional preamp through the same Torpedo - obviously then you...
I've recorded (a while back) some Indian instruments - the weirdest one was the Sarangi -The Sarangi is two feet long,- made of a single piece of red cedar wood, and has three resonance chambers with three or four main gut strings and between 11 and 37 sympathetic metal strings - it has a voice...
I had a 166 , 166a and 166xl - IRRC when using a high amount of compression- the 166 sounded full and more trans`parent - the XL sounded duller and kind of choked - the 166A was similar to the 166 - all dBX units sounded duller the more you compressed BTW - these days the 166 are often...
