Wise choice on the UA6176. I have one which I connect to an Apogee PSX-100SE then into the Lynx AES input. I also have a Millennia Origin which is another very fine channel strip if you decide to up ...

I love my EV RE20 for spoken word and mic-ing the guitar amp. I also use a Shure Beta 58 which is hypercardoid or more focused which is useful when recording in the field.

Sibilance has been my nemesis in doing by spoken word recordings. What works for me is:
1. Find the freq. range where the sibilance is greatest. for me that is around 3.8khz to 4.1khz.
2. Try out ...

14. If you are getting too much "mouth sounds", have the vocalist drink some apple juice. It seems to clear the mucous/saliva bubbles on the lining of the mouth pretty well.

for condensor mics, I love my Lawson L47MP, which Gene Lawson tweaked a bit to make it even more appropriate for my spoken word recordings.

Apple juice has enough pectin to clear the bubbles and saliva. Also, my favorite trick... it works for me... is to use a gate set with an attack around 120-180ms, hold time 80ms, and 110 relase time, ...

I too recommend the Millennia STT-1 (Origin). It has plenty of gain, is very clean and transparent and is worth every pen and more some when you consider all that it has in it.

Great words of wisdom... thank you all. Yes, I think you are correct that it is a matter of my adjustment. Nothing changed but the monitors, and I think that I am now hearing the ribbon mic more acc ...

I apologize if I am asking a question that has been done before... or if innapropriate.
I just switched my monitors from Event PS6's to BM6A's. I purchased the BM6A's well broken in as they were dem ...

I use a custom built DawBox (P4), with Sound Forge 7.0 for editing and two track recording, Sonar 4 and Samplitude 7.2 for multiple tracks. I like the sound of Samplitude and the ease of use, but bot ...

I have enjoyed using my M-Audio Firewire 410. I like it that it has two headphone plugs and volume controls, mixer software, and has worked flawlessly with my Dell Inspiron laptop.

I agree that NI's Guitar Rig is better (i.e., less fake) than Amplitube, but Nomad's ROCK-AMP LEGENDS can create some fairly realistic Marshall tones. I have found that when using Guitar Rig, Amplitu ...

You said it, Chris. I do have to get busy here.

I knew someone would catch on.

I have a question for you Michael (others too, as this is a forum of us). Is is reasonable to send just one disc or one track to a mastering engineer and pay to ha ...
