Windowman's real name and address has already been posted. Where's yours fruit? You can hear the difference between 24 and 16 bit...right. No one else ever has when put to the test. That's enough for me to ignor the rest of your idiotic post right there. Just how many more names do you have an...

"Oddly enough I have never heard of a mic that only sounds good on acoustic guitar and banjo." "Only"--Me neither. But all mics are considered best at some things and there's not a banjo player alive that wouldn't love to be recorded with a C414. There was a time when most guitar players would...

Oh hey, I forgot about the ballgames! Man that's one thing that sounds great in stereo, I don't know if I could give it up! I don't know how they do it but the local TV station that broadcasts Cardinal Baseball games does it in such a way that if you listen to it on just regular stereo speakers...

You know, if you're in a position where you don't have to do any recording in the near future it might be a fun test to try and go without stereo for an entire month. Just listen in mono to any music and even TV/VCR stuff and then go back to stereo later on and see if you still like it as well...

"windowman, it would seem that you are making a career out of "guesses" around here....." And you're still a sissy faggot. If you ever get to St. Louis way, do drop by and give me the opportunity to show your nose to my fist. "There IS no right answer to this question. There is ONLY what...

"No amount of mic level signal will "blow" a micpreamp." Try routing a phantom powered mic through a patch bay and then into a mic pre and then come back and tell me that. Hot patching will will blow a mic pre quite easily among other things. But I've already discussed this in another thread...

I think Sal pretty much read the post the way I did. Maybe I'm wrong but I thought the same thing; that he was asking if a low pre-amp gain would color the sound any differently than a high one. He also mentioned that he had a strong signal already which was why he didn't need much pre-amp gain...

If I were a big guy in the music biz I think it'd be fun to record a whole CD in mono and not tell anybody just to see if anyone even noticed. Heck, 5 feet away from the speakers it all sounds like mono anyway. :p People worry too much about the sound of their recordings I think. I just want to...

"What's wrong with re-ribboned?" You got me, what is wrong with re-doing the ribbon? I've never heard anybody say that it was a bad idea. In fact you almost have to. When was the last time you saw an old one that still had the ribbon intact? "Oh yeah, and BB King.... It's not quantity that...

Yeah, I got em off 2 different V-Amp websites. I like that Soft Blues sound quite a bit. I kinda like that Sweet Child thing too. It's just too bad such a rotten guitarist/band ruined a perfectly good sound for everybody. Be honest, that's what you were thinking too. :D

That's not what he asked guys unless I'm misunderstanding his post.

JM; "Umm"...got anything reasonably intelligent to put with that? Or is it just the usual childish bantering I get such a thrill out of reading around here? We don't have to talk about mic's and pre's (which are fairly boring and meaningless in the big picture anyway.) I'm more than happy to...

Which room is giving me the "boxy sound"? I hope this don't sound too silly but you have tried monitoring through headphones to see if it was the conrol room haven't you? Do you have some recordings of other guitarists using roughly the same setup? Maybe you could run them through the control...

I've always preferred mono to stereo. It seems more natural and fatter I think. It produces more midrange usually which might explain the "biggness" of the sound. A lot of the old guys in the 50's said they didn't like mono when it came out. I even remember Elvis saying he didn't like it. I was...

Differences may show on paper but I've never noticed it in terms of what I heard. A loud mic just means less chance of noise I think and that's about it.

I don't know anything about the newer ribbon mics. The old ones were always murder to get quiet. Those RCA mics especially. Transformerless will generally be quieter but may not sound as good as a transformer. Depends on how much you spend. I gotta tell ya though that as far as I'm concerned a...

I've heard of people hanging them from ceiling hooks if they didn't have the money for a shock mount. I guess that could work but then you'd have problems trying to get it to stay put and you couldn't put it into the exact position you'd like. Seems pretty rinkydink to me.

Hey I just searched on Mackie's site about that board. Do you realize it has 6 auxillary sends that you can make all post fader? How about this: 8 direct outs 6 auxillary send outs 2 main outs Wouldn't that do it?

That particular Mackie board has 8 direct outs doesn't it? I would run 8 lines to an adat from the inserts the way you suggested and then go ahead and run 8 from the direct outs. The ones from the direct outs you would have full control over right to the bottom of the control strips. So just...

Here's few other samples by other people I picked up here and there on the web. These are "well" tweaked and short. I think you'll like them. I know I did. Soft Blues Yngwiee Sweet Child Lead Tone Clean Funk
