    PSP Nitro & T-Racks Singles Plugin deals

    I know - not the right forum but I figure most everyone checks in here and I didn't see either of these come up in a search so I figure it's worth posting in the mics section until mshilarious finds the right spot for it :D PSP has their Nitro plugin available at www.audiomidi.com for $10...

    ACM & ACMP Reviews by Nuemes

    So I'm starting a thread that I'll add to over the next few days as I test the gear. I've heard there have been noise issues from some people who've gotten ACMP pre's so I've been listening carefully with that in mind. First up: DI bass on ACMP73 Chain: Hamer American Cruisebass (very...

    Before you buy a PTLE Digi 002 or 003...

    I've had a Digi 002 for two years now and I was never happy with the sound compared to what I was able to get from an old 20bit ADAT. The AD/DA converters on the 002 are absolutely crap. They are muddy. You will never get punch or a clear high end from it, no matter how much you spend on mics...

    500 series preamps - what are you using?

    Since a Lunchbox post came up in the forum I realized a lot more folks here are using them than I realized. Which 500 series preamps are you using and what specific preamp/instrument combos are working for you (and why)? Details please :)

    Group buy mics / ACM 6802T

    Had a chance to try the mics this weekend with a friend who sings and plays a Martin OM (28)? For guitar we tried the ACM2, 3, 310 & 6802T, also AKG C414, AT4033 & Blue Baby Bottle. Preamp was Avalon M5. ACM2 was way too dark, borderline useless. ACM3 was better than the ACM2 but also too...

    Care of Ribbon & Tube Mics?

    Now that a bunch of us are getting ribbon & tube mics for the first time through the group buy, can anyone who's had a few years of experience with them advise the best way to use & store them? For example: 1. Tube mics are best used upside-down to keep heat from the tube affecting the...

    Overheads within $400 budget considering current mics on hand

    Please respond only if you’ve had experience with multiple OH mics in the past. Here’s what I’ve got now: MXL603 (2) AKG C414uls (paid $350 used) AT4033 (paid $300 used) I’m recording mostly 70’s rock & occasional jazz. I want a natural, non-hyped sound yet at the same time I’m typically...

    ATM25 kick mic too hot; inline pad the answer?

    For harder drummers the ATM25 kick mic is too hot and I'm unable to place it inside the kick and end up placing outside the kick and building a tunnel. The problem with this though is that the beater sound gets lost this way and other instruments end up finding their way back into the mic...

    RNP or 8 channel pre with AD/DA or ?

    So I’m at a minor fork in the road and am not sure which way to turn on this. Looking for experienced recordists who’ve used at least one of the following to jump in on this - or you at least need to be able to tell the difference between the sound of a RNP & a DMP3 for example – you’re in the...

    Backing up to two external hard-drives

    I've got a G5 Mac and have been recording all audio files to an external 250Gb hard-drive (not onto the Mac itself). I've begun to clue in to the dangers of keeping everything on a single external drive from reading other people's hooror stories and have today gotten a 1 TB (1000 Gb) hard...

    Naiant MSH-1K for Toms

    Anyone have direct experience using the Naiant MSH-1K's on toms? I like the idea of the high end rolloff plus the low end rolloff in the chart, certainly reasonably priced. I'm using SM57's and 58's on toms now. They've been fine but I'd like to free them up for other duties without...

    Higher end preamp recommendation

    I've got two higher quaility preamps, an Avalon M5 & UA M610. I consider these two preamps to be total extremes of each other. I started with the M5 and was always ok with the sound. Since getting the M610 I have been much more happy with the sounds going through it compared to the M5. I like...

    What are the tone differences in the D112 & Shure Beta 52A? Please only respond if you had experience with both kick mics. Would you use one mic for one style of music and the other for another, etc? If so what do you base that decision on?

    Club engineers with egos / SM58

    So...I go to a club to listen to a band that I've recorded multiple sessions with. I love this band. I've learned through mutliple recording and live gigs that the singer sounds muddy on a SM58. You know how this goes: some singers can sound good through an SM58 and some very bad. At the...
