    How to conduct a microphone shootout/test

    Maybe this belongs in the microphone forum.. I recently reformatted my macbook and hauled out my rack case to make sure all the gear connected to Logic properly and then realized "wow. I haven't even recorded on this thing in 2 years." With that realization, I'm on a mission to cull the...

    How do you handle your mic power supplies?

    For those of you with tube mics and others that require their own power supply.. What exactly do you do with them? Do you tend to keep them in a box and pull them out when needed? I'm wondering if anyone has a solution for having them immediately ready to plug into. Maybe a rack just of the...

    How do I mix a single stereo track?

    Alright, here's the setup. I've got 2 acoustic guitars and a singer with 2 gt44s set up as overheads to capture it. The recording itself turned out decent, but how exactly do I mix (well, there's nothing to "mix" really), or "polish" the track (2 tracks, Left and Right)? Does anyone have any...

    Any Event EzBus users out there? I need help!

    This problem has plagued me for awhile, but I didn't really bother dealing with it because I was too busy to be working on recording projects. Well now i'm back in the game and recording more often, but I've noticed the Ezbus lacks headroom for microphones. I always have to crank the trim as...

    Why the need for an external compressor?

    Well, I'm considering purchasing the FMR RNP mic pre, and took notice the RNC compressor. Seeing as I'd hate to have the RNP all lonely it's rackspace, perhaps I should purchase an RNC for it to be friends with. My question is, is it worth purchasing an external compressor? With all the...

    Help on choosing mic pair (C4, m179, mc012)

    Hey everyone! With my newfound christmas/birthday funds I've been looking to update my mic arsenal with a good mic pair. Primary use would be for acoustic guitar and something to get a good drum sound from using just overheads. I'm leaning towards the Studio Projects C4 right now, but the CAD...
