...Wow!! Tried it for the first time last night. I laid down several tracks of a song passage, each track using a different micing technique (X/Y, spaced pair, over the shoulder, ORTF, and mid/side). I previously had a slight preference for X/Y until I tried mid/side micing. I really like...

I don't have a lot of gear. My home studio is small but I tried to make everything count. Below is my list of gear, all updated as of last Saturday. My credit card is still smarting, LOL: Neumann KH-120 monitors (replace Alesis M1 Actives) RME Babyface interface and UAD 2 card (replaces...

I'm considering... sE Electronics RN 17 stereo pair AMI F44 stereo pair Peluso P84 stereo pair Schoeps CMC 6 stereo pair Anyone have experience with any or all of these for acoustic guitar. They'll be going into a Millennia HV-3C pre. Thank you. Tom

I'm not asking for a direct comparison between these mics so much as a comparison between these mics given this application and this specific gear setup. Room Description And Treatment: OK, with that in mind, my setup is my family room studio (~ 30' x 10') with wood paneled walls and painted...

Tremendously underrated mic, especially for acoustic guitar/instruments. Used a stereo pair of them on acoustic guitar with superb results. Highly accurate, beautiful mids, and a nice, pleasing, subtle, air-ey top end. This has to be one of the very best of mics regardless of price for acoustic...

OK, let's get serious about this........BIG price drop. Universal Audio Solo 610 tube mic preamp. <20 hrs of use. Excellent condition with a slight mar on the top surface. $545. to your door in the CONUS. Postal money orders or Paypal. No trades please. I need the cash to update my studio. Pics...

I would like some recommendations for powered nearfield monitors under $1000 (each) for my home studio. My recordings are all acoustic except for electric bass. I'm a bluegrass guitar and mandolin player. Looking for some "giant killer" powered monitors. Thank you for your suggestions. Tom

I have a "high end" home studio where I record bluegrass music. IOW, all acoustic instruments. I'm getting pretty well set up with core equipment...Reaper, Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 interface, Universal Audio LA-610 pre (I'll be selling a UA Solo-610 to make room for a Millenia HV-3C pre. The...

Thinking about pulling the trigger on a Millenia HV-3C mic preamp. I'll be using it primarily for recording guitar, mandolin, and other acoustic instruments (bluegrass music). I also have a Universal Audio LA-610 preamp I use for vocals. I'll be selling a Universal Audio Solo-610 as it is rather...

...Where do you aim the mics? Since, with M/S recording, the mics need to be in very close proximity to each other how do you position and where do aim the mics when recording acoustic guitar? Twelfth fret? Bridge? Sound hole? Thank you. Tom

I'm currently recording acoustic guitar with a stereo pair of Audio Technica AT 4041s. I think I'm getting great results. Very transparent, neutral, and open sounding mic. However, I'm always looking for something better for this application. Maybe there is nothing truly better, just different...

...You know, I often wonder if there are some "giant killer" SDC mics out there that, regardless of price, will genuinely sound as good as mics costing four and five times as much. For example, the AT 4041 is darn hard to beat on acoustic guitar. This mic (I have a stereo pair) consistently...

I'm a bluegrass musician and I currently have a stereo pair of AT 4041s that I use for recording acoustic guitar and mandolin. They turn out great recordings for this application. My question is...would I gain anything by moving up to the AT 4051? The AT 4041 is very transparent and accurate...

After many hours of research for my holy grail vocal mic for my home studio I settled on a Manley Reference Gold. My recording tech at Sweetwater Sound recommended this mic based on its compatibility with my Universal Audio Solo 610 and LA 610 tube mic preamps. I got in on a bundle special and...

Well, after many hours of research I've narrowed my new mic choice down to the Manley Gold Reference and Bock 251. I'm running Universal Audio Solo 610 and LA 610 tube preamps. I like the open airy-ness of both these mics and I think they would complement my pres better vs a U 47 clone which...

...I have the following mics that I used for electric instruments before I converted to all bluegrass music...Shure KSM-44 LDC, Royer R-122 powered ribbon, Audio Technica AT-4041 SDC, Sennheiser e906 dynamic, Shure SM-57 and SM Beta 57A, and AKG D-5. Of these mics which would you use for...

I have the following mics: Shure KSM-44 large diaphram condenser, Royer R-122 active ribbon, AT-4041 small diaphram condenser, Sennheiser e906 dynamic, Shure SM-57. I have UA-Solo 610 and UA-LA610 tube mic preamps. I'm using ProtoolsLE into a Digi 002R. Which mics should I use and in what...

...I own these two mics and thought I'd try mid/side micing with them. Anyone done this or care to comment on what I might expect? Thank you. Tom

...Anyone ever try this? How'd it go? Thanks. Tom

Which do you prefer? Thanks. Tom
