I picked up a Superscope EC-3S Cardioid Condenser Stop/Start Microphone off of craigslist. This was from back in the day when Superscope was the division of Marantz that made tape recorders. Anybody know if these mics are good for anything other than a conversation piece. It uses a battery...

Hey, it's been a hectic year but we're finally getting serious about doing some recording. A lot has happened since I first joined this board about a year and a half ago. We're now living in the house with the Grand Piano and setting up the living room for playing, listening and recording music...

I asked this in another thread but after doing some research thought it might be worthy as a thread of it's own. I'd love to get some thoughts from long time Fender users. Presence (from the Fender manual for the Hot Rod DeVille): "Adjusts the tone at a point in the signal path after the...

I just bought an old (that's in between new and "vintage :D ) Fender M-80. Can someone explain what "presence" and "contour" are supposed to do on the overdrive channel? This is the explanation I got from the fellow I bought the amp from. I have a problem with using "presence" to describe...

Recently aquired an Ibanez Artcore. llooks like an AF75 but the body is a deep red quilted color (mahogany?). As you might have detected in the picture the tone and volume knobs are missing. I figure black is the "correct" color but the generic ones we got from GC don't slip far enough...

So, I'm very new to recording. I'm not a musician but I'm having fun helping my son record some of his work. He sings and plays piano. Those I've been able to record with mics. I've also recorded acoustic guitar from mics. Now he's got an electric guitar and an amp which only serves to further...

I bought the Fostex MR16HD to "break in" to home recording. From what I'd read I didn't expect the preamps to be terrific and figured on adding better units after gaining a little more experience. Initial use of the recorder has been primarily with vocals and with the MXL603 and the Naiant MSH-1...

"Silvertone SQ6000 Dynamic Microphone", that's what is says on a thin gold band. There's an on/off switch and it uses a "locking" XLR connection. The Silvertone is in the script like you'd see on a guitar or amp but I haven't been able to find anything about them having ever made microphones. Is...

Just bought the MR16HD. I'm betting it uses the same preamps as the MR8HD which by most accounts are barely adequate. We'll try to get by without pre-amps at first but what are some recommendations? Is it mic specific or more specific to the instrument you're trying to record? What about...
