I have eight of them now. I finally got to use them to mic a whole drum kit, bottom and top heads. Crazy, there are no phasing issues, no need for phase reversal. The drums sound so huge I'm beginning to think it's the secret behind John Bonham's drum sound. It's like instant huge. No eq, no...

Thanks, I will give that a study, but the 320 has a lot more features that are not found on the 300. I wish there was a manual for 300 on the net, but google has let me down.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I picked one up after reading a bit about them and how transparent they are. I googled the daylights out of it and there is no manual to be had. I have some basic questions that I am hoping some of you can help...

I just scored another one. As drum overheads, I have finally achieved the Albini drum sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. Having the drummer tune his heads right. There is no mic that can make a badly tuned drum sound tuned. 2. Lately I have been enjoying using one mic as an overhead instead of two. 3. A drum spot i use a lot is about a foot back from the middle of the snare between the bass drum and the high...

I have used the 179 on upright bass, saxes, and bass clarinet. I like the tone it gives my often very bright horns. I can see where as a bass player you would like the "wamth" of it's sound. Plus it's multi pattern so you would get a few more uses out of it. Great mic for under $200.

what was your opinion?

here are some cool folks whose vocal style really are distinct Robert Wyatt (the guy that Thom Yorke tries so hard to sound like) Blossom Dearie Madeline Peyroux Some obvious Sinatra - dude could sing Lady Day - I even like her final years voice...

Um, .............. his dad.

I am going to make the leap into a high end mic preamp. I want the quietist, cleanest, and least coloured one possible. I really can't go more than $1500. I finally had a chance to use a high end preamp (it was a prototype and not for sale so I can't buy that brand) and i really could hear the...

Wow, you are totally right. I see it in the manual now. I guess i never made that mistake before and so didn't run into that problem. My md8 is my backup/default/sketch recorder. thanks a ton!

I recorded something onto a 2 track mini disc in my md8. when we were done we listened back to it. sounded great. i left the mini disc in the machine when i unplugged it and went home. I go to turn it on to mix it down and it says that it is now a blank disc! this has not happened before. what...

sorry for asking possibly dumb obvious questions, how would i set the 24 tracks to +4? i just want to have the mixer amd the hd 24 and be ready to go!

I clicked that link and i still dont see how its +4 (i am not that smart in terms of electronics). Are you saying that the 24 outs on the a&h are +4? and that i can use this board with the hd 24 as a stand alone with nothing else needed? i know i will have to do some plug/unplugging for the mix...

would this do the trick? Allen and Heath System 8 MKIII 24/8/16/2 heres a link for one i am thinking about buying http://messageboard.tapeop.com/viewtopic.php?t=30345 what would be the main issue i would come into when using -10 outs into the +4 ins of the hd24? thanks so much. buying...

so, what are my board options that have 24 +4 outs? ghost,mackie, etc... what board can i get that will work right out of the box? what board will work as it should at +4, not which has the best mic preamps or eq? i want to buy, plug in and go. i will worry about eq and preamps later when i...

I was in the same boat. I froogled it and found it online, but most of the places you had to have it special ordered. You will not find it less than $30, and i would avoid a homemade one. Oh my God, what a great mic! Worth every penny of the $235 I paid for it used!

I looked this item up on their website and its only got 16 faders. How can i run 24 tracks with only 16 faders without bouncing/combining tracks? Does mackie/behringer/yamaha make a 24 track mixer with 24 balanced in/outs that can go the the HD24? My budget is about $1500 for the mixer.

Here is what Steve Albini says about these two mics. (from his website) Shure SM57- Piece of shit dynamic mic some people are inexplicably crazy about, so we bought one. Sounds equivalently good on everything from snare drum to electric guitar. Unfortunately, not a very high standard of...

What i have now is a fostex d-108, and an 8 individual channel alesis mixer. I love the ease of the set up. It's just like using an analogue recorder in it's ease and simplicicty. I was hoping the HD24 would be similer in its ease if I had a board with 24 individual channels. Im not into bells...
