When did I compare the sm57 to the akg c414? And yes the 57 is amazing for close micing guitar amps and sometimes people use them for acoustic guitars close miced. I'm pretty sure if I was blind tested on which chain was which between an akg414 into a 2i4 versus an akg414 into a high end pre and...
Also after almost fully treating my room I have noticed a huge difference. The last thing I need to do is fully treat the poorly placed window in my room :/.
So are you suggesting that a neve 511 into a Lynx Hilo or burl b1 into a comparable a/d converter would not sound better than a 2i4? I get where you're coming from the law of diminishing returns is something I'm aware of. I did get some better Mics i.e. The akg 414 xls which I noticed made an...
I don't think I really misunderstood him. His reply was condescending and really offered absolutely no insight but I digress. The point of this thread is to discuss possible chains. For example different interfaces, what mic pres and compressors said person enjoys using. I purely want input on...
Thanks for the condescending nature of your response you accomplished the goal of offering absolutely no insight. The scarlet 2i4 is honestly a cheap piece of garbage at the end of the day. I did say it has been great for me up until now. It does not provide high quality sound. I'm trying to...
So I'm building a home recording studio. I have an sm57 and an akg414 xls for Mics. I use the akg for both micing my guitar Cab and vocals. I am using the Scarlett 2i4 for my interface which has been great up until now. I'm using hs8s for my monitors and have acoustically treated the room. Now...
Basically to simplify my question I'm looking for the best setup I can get from the front end to the back end. Right now I'm debating between the isa828 and a couple other mic pres and then what interface I should be using. I would like the interface to not have its own mic pres as it is...
I want to setup a rack and I need suggestions on what I should get front end to back end. I'm going for high quality sound, expandability and longevity.
So I'm trying to set up a high quality home studio which you probably have already assumed given the title.? I have already purchased Adams A7xs and started to acoustically treat the room. I also bought 2 sm57s and 2 akg c414s and plan to buy either a tlm 103 or 102 for another condenser. Now...
