Queue,

We will make SD mics for the "B" Series, but that should be in 2002. We are also looking at them for the C Series. We just want our SD mics to be different and sound better than the rest, so that takes some time.

Doug,

Go back to recording :D
 
hehehe im just starting out alan i need a good c1 :-)))) i think ive been a pretty good online 0% commision salesmen for you converting all my online friends to buy c1,s hmmmm thats three so far who have bought them after giving them the one or three times over us aussies dont give up that easy

well alan 653 is my next guess :-))))
 
If you knot heads would spend half the time you spend trying to convince Alan to give you a free mic, doing something like mowing yards in your neighborhood, you could make enough in one day to buy one. They are super freakin cheap. Remember?
 
Trebs,

You know I appreciate the help, but everyone on this thread has been helping. I wouldn't have any mics left if I gave them all away, but keep guessing, you might hit it yet..... :D
 
Has nothing to do with convincing alan a challange was put out we are trying to meet it and no i dont need to mow lawns yet to buy mics i dont have much if any studio stuff at all im slowly saving and iam going to buy all the right gear when i can afford it all and yes i want a c1 c3 and t3 i just can afford them yet remember im from australia we dont get gear at a subsidised price or as cheap as you guys back in the us anyway enough said
 
My apologies Trebs. I was just kidding you guys, didn't mean to offend.

But just between you, me, and the fence post, I think Alan was just being humorous about the whole contest thing. Even if there is really a number between 1 and 20,000,000,000,000,000.00 (my favorite part is the .00 on the end) your chances of winning the lottery every week is better.

BTW, I'm willing to come over and mow anybodies lawn in exchange for gear.
;)
 
zeke thats ok no offence taken i am taking alan serious on this though it costs me nothing to guess and if i hit it i know alan is an honest guy he will tell me :-))

Now this so called senior member is gonna ask a question out of where the post should go because no one seems to answer this question when it comes up as many times as i ask.

ive worked out how many mics i need along with what type and for what they will be used also done the same with mic pres settling on12 to 14 great chans of mic pre now keeping in mind this will be a 16 track set up to begin with later on expanding to a 24 track set up how many pieces off gear will i need iam more asking about the outboard racks now for example keeping in mind how many tracks ive mentioned as above how many compressors will i need along with outboard effects etc i want to use this kind of desk

http://www.spirit-by-soundcraft.co.uk/prods/folio/foliofx1.htm

and record onto my pc till such a time i can afford a 24track hdisk recorder as i dont think i,ll ever be able to afford the beautifull 2'
studer 24 track set upanyway sorry to post this here but since i know a few experts are lurking in here can someone please assist me i aint too proud to say i dont know as iam happy to learn anything given to me without attitude :-)))

thanking you all wayne :-))) :confused:
 
Trebles,

I'm not particularly the best person to answer your guestions. I went with an all-in-one unit. It made a lot of decisions moot. Do you have your board yet?

Why do you need so many outboard mic pres? The board has mic pres. I'm not familiar with the board, but the pres may very well be useable. How many tracks do you need to record simultaneously? Even if you were gonna track "live" you wouldn't need that many pres. Maybe an outboard or two for different colorations, such as on vocals.

If I were you I would post these questions in the "Computer Recording" forum and the "Rack" forum. If you haven't bought the board yet, you might consider an all-in-one DAW. It would be a simpler solution.

One thing I've learned as a newbie to recording, is that newbies labor too much over decisions. We labor and labor over trying to get the most pro-like set up, or the most bang for the buck, when we should just get something and start tracking. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying we shouldn't make informed decisions, it's just that there comes a point when we just need to make a decision and go with it.

I don't know what your financial situation is. But if I were you, and it looked like it would be a while before I had the money to get set up, I would buy a multitrack cassette. That way you can be practicing and learning in the interim. Plus, you can always start acquiring some of the outboard gear you want and put it into use. You can sell the cassette later, when you save up the duckies to upgrade.

You can get a lot of good advice from guys on this board. But as I said, you might want to post them in the proper forums. Most people like to keep the subjects pretty close to the forum.

These are just a few of my thoughts. Feel free to use or discard them as you see fit.

zeke you right to say it belongs in its forum i guess after asking so many times and getting zilch response i kinda thought lets try here while i got a few reading this.

anyway the prob is i dont wanna buy junk and have to give it away at well below cost whati buy is gonna get used well most of the serious guys in here would use their gear till it was worthless then get a clever accountant to pay them some back of their taxes :-) its the way to go i got a small swag of mics from my previous public radio days so thats a good start for me anyway i,ll try posting again where this belongs lets see if i get answers thanks again m8

regards wayne :-)
 
Spitit Board

Spirit Folio FX 16 has been an OK board by me. 16 direct outs to my 2 gadget labs 8/24 cards is really handy when tracking at least eight channels of drums and two tracks of bass simultaneously.

The built in effects are nice for quickly dashing on some reverb for clients playback without eaing up CPU. Once in the computer I generally do all FX and the like in the computer.

Allan, is the number 31?

I know what you're saying treble, and that's a consideration for sure. I wasn't suggesting that you buy a brand new cassette multi-track either. I wouldn't buy anything that's a temporary fix without knowing I could get all or most of my money back when I get ready to dump it.

Maybe I shouldn't offer my .02 when I don't know your situation. It just sounded to me like you are a long way from achieving what you want to achieve in the way of gear. There's no big deal in taking several years to accumulate your equipment list, if you are patient and that's the route you want to go.

The point I was trying to make, is that I think it's good to be tracking, albeit not in the environment or with the gear that you ultimately aspire. If you make your selections wisely, you can upgrade and unload the bottom feeding gear as you go without much pain.

Once you start tracking you begin to realize how much more is involved with it than just gear. The right acoustic environment, mic placement, and many other factors, all have an effect on the music you produce. So the quicker you start learning by hands on experience the better off you will be.

ooh, ooh Mr. Kotter! (I mean Hyatt)...

Sorry, I just saw ZekeMan's message (the .00 part) and it gave me and idea for just one more guess.

So here goes, since Mr. Hyatt really would rather sell us all a by far superior T3 model and it lists on his website (yes, I had to do research and everything...) for 1099.99. That'd be my quess: 1,099.99.

Okay, enough for now. Time for some lawn mowing, er, I mean recording...

Sorry guys, I caught a bit of a flu getting back from Mexico, and have been in bed for two days. Anyway just getting back on my feet.

Actually, Mr. Zekeman was right. This all started out as a humorus joke, but far be it from me to dissapoint you all, so now it is real, but my guess is hitting the number will almost be impossible, not that I don't want to see anyone win, its just mathmatically almost impossible, but if you must, keep guessing. Trebles is right, if someone hit it, I would do the right thing.
 
Alan,

A better contest, would be for a C3 or T3 along with one of the new mic pres.

You could pick a number between 1 and 1,000,000. You could give everyone one guess and whoever gets the closest would win the mother lode.

You could spread the word on all the internet sites, and let everyone in on it. You could post it on your web site, and run it in your ads in the trade magazines. It would be good advertising, and maybe one of us slobs would get lucky.

Taylor
 
MrZekeman,

Anything is possible...I will give that some consideration. Maybe a C3 and VT-1, but it will have to wait until I have the VT-1's in stock.
 
This ain't funny anymore...................

Peace..............ChrisO :cool:
