I had a C1000 in the early 90's. There weren't a lot of good "cheap" condensers around at that time. I couldn't get it to sound good on anything. I moved up to a C3000 and had better luck. Not into AKGs at all anymore, including the 414s.

That's what I thought too, but I've had VO talent mostly for non-english speaking ads for major movies come into my studio, and the producers (remote from LA) always request the Sennheiser. I'm in wine country, and I get calls all the time from VO artists that are here for the weekend and have a...

If you record a lot of voice over stuff, the MKH 416 is a must have, it's what all of the LA talent want.

The M20 is a bit of a different animal than a regular ADAT; there's a lot more stuff jammed into that box including a more robust transport, and, there were not a lot of them manufactured. I'm not confident your standard ADAT tech could handle it. I used to have a copy of the service manual but...

Yes, and it should be quite easy. Every part in a mix has a range that can be set on the keyboard. If you have the manual, Go to the section about editing Mixes and see the part about setting the Range for each program within the mix; you build a split by editing a mix. It's been at least 20...

You will need some type of controller to lock the ADATs to SMPTE. Stripe SMPTE to a track on your Analog tape machine and feed it to back to the ADAT controller. An Alesis BRC will do this, so will the Alesis AI-2 (but it's a clusterF*** to set up). JL Copper Datamaster would also do this and...

Audio Design and Service in Burbank California. Former Alesis/ADAT factory tech owns the place. If they can't fix anything Alesis...no one can.......

It's possible that the head was replaced but that the hours were not reset by the tech. It takes a special chip to reset head hours, no chip-no reset.

I've been thinking that it's time to upgrade my drum mics. I've been using a set of AKG D-220s on toms for many years. They were cheap but I couldn't remember how much I paid for them. In Searching the internet for the original price, I came across an old thread that referred to the D-220s as...

My Alesis Multimix 16 Firewire mixer just stopped working. Actually, the analog part of the mixer still works fine, but the firewire I/O has just died. This mixer gave me 18 unique outputs via firewire. I've been looking for a replacement. It seems like all of the small format options from...

I have two iso rooms. One is about 10 feet by 10 feet and the other is about 8 feet by 8 feet. Whenever the door is opened or closed in either room there is wind noise in my more sensitive condensers. This, of course, is very annoying. The wind, I guess, is caused by the vacuum/pressure effect...

I just built 2 2x4 Bass Traps loaded with 4" of roxul to augment what I already have in the studio. I had originally planned to mount them at a 45 degree angle at the ceiling/wall corner behind the desk and move the clouds that are currently mounted about 18" from the wall to a position parallel...

Hello everyone, I'm building a couple of walls in my studio to create a drum room. I'm looking for suggestions on getting the audio cables/connections from the drum room into the control room. I was going to just get some XLR &TRS wall plates and run the snakes sealed inside of the walls...

A friend has asked me to record a live concert on my HD24. The house board is a Soundcraft, i'm unsure, but I assume it has no built in patchbay or way of spliting the 16 channels coming from the stage. So I guess I need to find a way to split the inputs, one to the house board and one to the...
