Looking for info on upgrading a standard quadraverb to quadraverb plus spec, i believe there is an Eprom chip available that adds the Plus spec, anyone any info on this? thanks Vikki(uk)

Been using an M.Audio 2496 for a few years and its worked o.k. Thinking of upgrading to better AD/DA conversion. I have a couple of JLM Audio Mic Preamps and a Ridge Farms Gas Cooker that are quite nice preamps. Where would you go from here i wish to carry on using my preamps but wanted a couple...

Just listening to this clip on utube, i think this is the sweetest sounding telecaster i've ever heard.......... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ODh9_ab8pc How do you get that sweet sound? Vikki

Just wondering if any of the cheap ribbon mics are worth looking at, mainly to be used for fingerstyle steel string guitar recording. Superlux R102 seem to get quite good reviews, but there are many more out there any thoughts? Vikki(uk)

I'm not much of a pedal fan but i finally built a Tonepad Dynacomp compressor its not cased yet but i was so chuffed with the result i thought i'd post a sound file, this thing only cost around 15 to 20 dollars to build without a switch and case. So just for fun here's a bit of doodling with the...

Microphones For This Style Of Acoustic Guitar Recording? Wav/MP3 I recorded this clip using the pickups in my acoustic guitar, on one channel there's a Sunrise magnetic soundhole pickup and on the other a DTAR Wavelength undersaddle pickup. So it doesn't sound like a mic, what mic(s) would you...

I'm still sort of pondering on this one.........its been posted around a few forums! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mV5JrjL5Hk&eurl= What do you think? Vikki(uk)

Just received my M88tg and its got potential on my voice, its pretty full and warm sounding. It absolutely kills my ADK Vienna (on my voice) Is there a great deal of difference between the M88 and the Shure Sm7, or does the Beyer cover most ground of the Sm7? Seasons greetings Vikki(uk)

I'm using an M Audio 2496 and thought of upgrading, first thoughts were for a Lynx L22, but with the diminishing PCI slot it may soon be out dated. So would this.......... http://www.rme-audio.com/english/adi/adi2.htm work in conjunction with my M Audio 2496, i was told there could be problems...

I'm just about to order a Beyer M88tg, is there any great difference in sound between this and the straight M88? I know the tg has a stronger head shell for live use. Regards Vikki(uk)

I've not heard of this company before (golden age) http://www.goldenagemusic.se/goldenageproject/uk/index.htm Any info on this range of mics? The Valve Ribbon looks interesting. Some of them mic bodies look a bit familiar? Vikki(uk)

I was thinking of buying a Beyer M88 but notice they have a M99 out now, aimed more for recording? Anyone using this mic how does it compare to the M88. Regards Vikki(uk)

Well i've tried quite a few Chinesey mics on vocals and they all have that raspy top end, they try to hide it and smooth it over with a valve amp but you've still got a nasty, raspy capsule to start with. Am i right here, does anyone have a Chinesey mic that produces stellar results? If so what...

I've experimented with my ADK Vienna (for recording) and it works just o.k on my voice but sounds thin with little body, i've tried just about everything(placement, close micing). I have a Beyer tgx 580 dynamic that works a lot better and produces a warmer fatter sound and is quite passable. I...

Will I Hear A Difference? I was thinking of replacing my M-Audio 2496 soundcard with a Lynx audio L22, will i notice an impovement in audio quality in my recordings? Or is the expectation going to be greater than the reality? I have good preamps and reasonable mics along with some good 3 way...

I purchased an ADK Vienna a few months back and having been using it on vocals with reasonable results. Last night i dug out my 10 year old thrashed Beyer TGX 580 dynamic mic and recorded some comparison tracks along with the ADK Vienna. I've got to say the Beyer just floored the adk, it was...

Many thanks Vikki (UK)
