I have a blueface model and it was completely recapped by the studio I bought it from..... but mine is DEAD quiet. If you're hearing the hiss across the board you might look at the output wiring at the "block". Make sure the the output wiring isnt cracking or broken where it screws or is...

OOOpppps ................ http://mojopie.ipbhost.com/lofiversion/index.php/t864.html and try googling dbx 242 or orban 242. -mike

It is most likely the DBX/Orban 242. Regarded as one of these bang-for-buck classics ....if you can get one at a good deal ...which this seems to be. The other popular Orban EQ units don not have the DBX association so I am fairly certain the 242 is the unit refereced. I have an Orban 622b...

The biggest bane for me ...... MENUs and MULTI function buttons and knobs. I cant freaking stand having to wade through multiple pages of menus to find the menu page I need to tweak the multi functional knobs or this setting or that. I have a DA-7 and it really is a great (older) unit but I...

Are you recording an amp? ..... or just direct ...or both? It sounds like you are talking about your front end compression being integral to your sound.... i.e. pedal or rack unit ..... before the amp. If thats true I see no reason why the engineer should make you alter your usual set-up ...

It would help if you could describe how, exactly, how your mics are set up ....distance and so forth. This is pretty normal .....you're gonna hear the snare (and toms) in the overheads. Its GOOD to hear the snare in the overheads, it gives you balance to the overall drum kit sound. I...

PM sent about the M300. Thanks -mike

pmdiaz23 ..... no offense, but as owner of a 286a I would have to describe the sound of that pre as such ...... imagine a completely transparent sounding pre and hook a mic to it.... then take a sock and put it over the mic and it will sound roughly like it would if you ran it through a 286a...

Obviously there are tons of great albums that make good referencing but some of my favorites are: Wilco - A Ghost Is Born ...... great mix of beautiful and ugly sounds. Mr Bungle - California ..... serious ear gymnastics Zappa - Make A Jazz Noise Here ....... great live album Radiohead - OK...

Depending on the over all music ...... if you feel that a mono drum track will work for you, then you could use one channel for the main drum mix and then the other for ..... say the kick ....or the snare ...by itself. That would give give you at least a little post tracking flexibility. If its...

How much for the BRC????? -mike

I agree about the RE-20. A friend I recently recorded has an Ampeg rig. Its the one of the newer Classic series rigs I believe. Its sounds sooooo freaking good. Where you put the mic depends, of course, on the sound you need for the context of the music but I have gotten great results placing...

You know its wierd......... but I dont really think my 441 has that low an output. Its def not as hot as like an sm57 (not that I remember well since I havent used one since I got the 441 :D ) but mt RE20 has a MUCH lower output ..... causing me to use that one funny looking knob .... what is it...

The e200 I had was definitely a huge mic. I used to call it the oil can because it was about the size of a Fosters oil can ...a little bigger. I believe the e300 (the older on anyway) the same size. It was sometimes a pain to keep in place on a mic stand .... especailly if you are going to be...

I own one and my experience and perception is a bit different than Roadwarrior's. Definitely hefty and well built, the 9v option is very handy, and it has good senstivity and fairly low noise. But I would not say its exactly balanced sounding ... IMO.... its a pretty hyped sounding mic. Quite...

Actually I was just referring to the e100 and I have had better results with the m179 ...... especially in omni and fig8 mode. I find its better sounding for most apps on guitar cab away from the amp ..... liike a foot or more ..... as opposed to right on the grill. I dont actually think of...

I have an e100 (not the series 2 but one of the older ones.... not sure if theres much of a difference) and I used to own an e200. Both of these mics have the ability to run on battery power in lieu of phantom power which has come in handy occasionally. The e100 is one of my most used mics...

This is an interesting and ALMOST amusing thread. I must say that even though Chess may have been a bit harsh in some replys (somebosy's gotta fill in for Bruce :D ) he's not wrong. Many of you guys are making general statments that are half-truths, mis-applications of facts, or just plain...

I use my GTMD-1b tubes all the time as over heads ..... but thats primarily bc I dont have a matched pair of SDCs :rolleyes: ..... except for the ECM8000 omnis (not matched) but I never got a good sound out of them bc they seemed to overload very easily on drums and, I think, bc I've never had...
