    Just bought Altec Lansing 1689A preamp/mixer!

    Seems to work, but using close drum mics as the input it is distorting. Also the internal switches are confusing, my kick drum mic has no low end, but the low cut filter doesn't seem to be engaged. Also the controls on the front are for MIXING not gain or the preamp, that has to be set...

    Ok so SHOULD i upgrade my OH mics and/or kick mic?

    I made a couple posts about my drum sound, sounding ok-ish. For the recording I'm posting a link to the drums were done with Okatva 219s as overheads, SM57 on snare, and AKG 550 on kick. All that was done was a little low cut from the overheads. I'm using the pres in my Digi 001, and a...

    Cheapish mics BETTER then MXL603s or Oktava 219, for overheads?

    I have a set of both, and they're alright....but since i'm only using 4 mics on the kit, they both have drawbacks. 1. MXL603s thin sounding, good clarity, but still sounds a little cheap and small. 2. Oktava 219's DARK, a little muddy, doesn't seem to mix well with the the SM57 on snare. I...

    Behringer T1953 mic preamp, tube question!

    So i got one (Behringer T1953 ultragain mic pre) on clearance fr like $125 with tax, so I figured why not, I always thought it looked cool. But.....the tubes don't seem to glow, they have a backlight which comes on, but i'm used to tube amps, maybe powertubes glow more? Any ideas here? On a...
