All this time I've been saving for a REALLY nice acoustic, but today a red herring has caught my eye and ear ... a Tanglewood that just feels and looks perfect, sounds great and has a superb preamp system ............ but my next acoustic was supposed to be a big upgrade, like solid back and sides and everything, right? Resistance is ........ erm .......... good for my overdraft?![]()
i have a mackie onyx....will that work good for what i'm looking for??? I heard that the onyx have really good pre amps in it already....kid klash said:Well, the next logical step, after buying a mic, is to build an audio chain to follow it. You'll need a preamp, some of which contain a compressor, EQ section, and other nice features. Digital ins and outs and USB 2.0 ports, besides analog ins and outs, may be important features to consider. Do a search to see what's available and who thinks what about them, then go out and try the preamps you're interested in. Choose your favorite and go!

a voice coach would be good but our singer is a church guy and he beeb in the choir for a long time since he was a kid...its just that...you know how when you sing, its impossible to keep your voice at a constant even level...i just wanted to know what would be recommended for that...Treeline said:That plus talent, work, sweat, patience and experience. But we all move one step at a time.![]()
You mentioned about compressors and vocal issues. A compressor can be really useful and when I got one I could improve my sound. But no piece of gear is going to make up for vocal problems. If you are doing you own singing and there's a problem consider adding this piece of gear to the signal chain: voice lessons.
I'm not kidding. Lessons with a good voice coach will first acquaint you with the tools in your own throat, which most of us don't know much about. Then you will learn a way of breathing and relaxing your neck muscles that will take away the strain and pain - and in the process your voice gets turbocharged. All that really happens is you learn how not to get in its way. A voice coach is a singer's secret weapon.

does the b3 sound vastly different from the b1 in cardiod? often times, multi-pattern mics can sound quite different from their cardiod only brethren. wanted to know if the b3 stacks up.
