Anyone know whether the Mackie 24•8 Studio Console is fitted nowadays with the VLZ pre-amps? It's difficult to tell on the Mackie site if it does or not. I know in past posts here (around a year or more ago) I have read that the 24•8 and the 32•8 weren't fitted with the VLZ pre-amps. Just...

Long post, so I apologize up front... I've been researching all of this a lot lately but first let me quickly tell you my recording past. I've been recording music, whether live or tracked, since about 1984 and what began as simply setting up a boombox in the middle of the room (those...

I just received my MXL 2003 and was getting ready to test it out and to my dismay the MXL-56 shockmount has a smaller threads where you screw it onto a stand than my mic stands. What gives? Any mic clip has always fit on any of my boom stands and I just assumed it was a "standard" size. I was...

Pardon me if this isn't the proper forum to post this, but I just received in the mail my new MXL 603s mics and took out my mixer from being in its case for the past few months to test them. I did a check through on all the buttons/knobs after being out of use for a while and to my horror the...

I have been recording for years with purely Shure SM58s and a SM57 and am now in the budget to expand my sound with some condenser mics. I've been happy with my past recordings but really need to add some depth, especially with the drums and vocals. Well, after careful combing through all of...

I've finally decided to get a pair of Marshall MXL 603S mics for overheads but now I want to add a vocal and acoustic guitar mic. Is the MXL 1006 a good mic for this? Or would I be best served by getting the Rode NT1? Any of you used other vocal/acoustic mics that you can recommend? Thanks...

I recently have been able to open the budget a bit and finally purchase a pair of condenser mics that would be used as ambient mics in situations overhead drums, middle of room when jamming, even on guitar amps but only as ambients. I also would like to be able to use them to mic acoustic...
