AEA R84 Ribbon Mic Clips

[Warhead]

(posted on several forums...hey it took time!)

Well the R84's are here, and I thought I'd check one out and make some clips.

This is my FROG studio (finished room over garage), just me playing and singing by myself.

Chain is:

AEA R84 Ribbon Mic
Safe Sound Audio P1 preamp (limiter never engaged, no comp etc.)
Swissonic AD96 converter @ 44.1/16
RME 9652 Hammerfall
Nuendo 1.6 PC
Converter to 192 mp3 with dbPowerAmp

Vocals: Sorry...I'm not a real singer! But, nobody else was around.

Drums: Arbiter maples with Slingerland Sound King snare, mic is about 6 feet from the front of the kit

Electric Guitar: Ibanez Jet King to old VH series Ampeg (I'm not a guitarist!)

Acoustic Guitar: Yamaha FG413 (I'm not a guitarist!)

Select arrow on right of clips "download" and "open" if you don't want to save.

I'm more of a pianist / drummer guy and dabble in singing and guitar, so take those clips for what they are.

On the drum clip and vocal clip I used an Auralex Max Wall type of setup behind the mic to control room reflections making it to the mic.

Is it my computer? Sounds very similar to an re 20, very sweet range on the acoustic and the vocals were very clean and dynamic
I think I want one........ (GAS)

Maybe you should listen on your monitors, I hate .mp3 files but it is fairly representative.
