I did a search but could`nt find the answer I was looking for...
KIDDING!!!....LOL...
really though, new guy here looking forword to reading my AZZ off and learning as much as my brain can posibley handle..which may or may not be a whole lot..LOL..
I found this place thanks to a friend who sent me a link to the Harvey gerst infamous "big thread" all about mics.....WOW...GREAT thread!!!
I`ve always known SHURE was GOOD, radio shack was BAD LOL...but not alot about condensors and the various use`es for a given mic etc....
Anyway, I`m not really looking to get a full out home recording studio going, but rather, just record myself making horrible noise`es on my guitar, and maybe add the ole lady blindley plucking my ole bass....LOL..
That said..one day I may try and record a friends-kids band one of these days..obviously not looking for professional results, cause that just ain`t gonna happen, but I do think it`d be fun to try it..(of course, that`s probley what they all say in the beginning, until the attempt actually takes place, then ya want to rip your hair out)..LOL
at any rate, I`ve been in the music scene for a while, been occasionally making noise on my guitar (started playing as a young`in in about 1982, but never really stuck with it, so I`m still struggling with the same basic/beginner tunes I was working on back then..LOL) ..been in a couple bands as a crappy bass player over the years..but never been much involved in the mixing/recording end of things..I`m currently a part time mobile DJ, these days mainly just for family and friends (weddings, retirements, graduations etc)...
most of my equiptment is about as old as I am..not really...but some of it ain`t far behind...LOL
anyway, I guess that about wraps it up..was`nt sure if this was the place for an introduction, or even if there is one...
Now if i may ask a question or two..
1. does anyone have a link to a current/working PDF on the harvey gerst MIC thread? every one i clicked on in the thread seamed to not be working anymore? thanks..
2...what do you guys preffer for an EQ..not "brand", but "band"..is there a minimal band you preffer? and/or is there such a thing as an over kill? like a 31 band?...just ask`in..thanks..
