512 Audio Limelight Dynamic Vocal Microphone
Forums
I spotted a Limelight 512 dynamic - it looks like an RE20, so I bought one to see, and they're less than £100 quid now - half what they were 2 years ago.

Lockdown Blues
Forums
I recorded this quite recently in my studio. Guitars were played into the Kemper Profiler DI.
The Hammond C3 and Leslie was fed into a power attenuator in order to drop the volume and enable the organ to be cranked for some grind. We miced the Leslie with two Shure SM98 mini condensor mics.
Bass was played through a Sansamp DI.

Splitting signal via splitter snake to two mixers
Forums
Good day.
We are a small church community who are still hiring (unfortunately) a sound tech company for our live events. FOH sounds great. However, the livestream is rubbish. The supplier says "it's complicated" and it comes with a cost. Instead, our director purchased a Behringer Xair18 for us volunteers to use it specifically for livestream.

AKG C3000 - A forgotten about mic?
Forums
I got asked to compare a C3000 with a C414, and I dug mine out and put it next to a C414 - I've no idea why this mic, which is often available quite cheaply, isn't more popular. Easy to say once I'd done the test, but the one I have rarely gets an outing. I've even found another on sale second hand for silly money, so I've ordered it to make a pair!

Which mic for Double Bass?
Forums
I've done a review - but not a normal comparison, but how different mics work better in different positions for different tones and playing styles.

Help setting up a (basic) home studio, that can still create great results?
My workspace up until now has been putting my laptop on my dresser drawer, an SM57 w/ boom arm, and a MCA SP1 condenser mic balanced within one of the dressers.
My aim is to set something up something cheap and basic, yet that can provide professional results.
I only really need to record voice, acoustic guitar, and plugged guitars (bass, electric guitar).

Pedal Steel Guitars - how ridiculously complicated they are, and tough to play!

Earbuds used by drummers live
Forums
I often see drummers wearing some sort of earbuds for live performances. I'm looking to use earbuds for monitoring my digital piano (just for live jams where there is no amp monitor).
Should I be OK with something like the Shure SE215-Dynamic-Microdriver-Earphones?

So many newcomers real about SM7Bs and the need for Cloudlifters or other preamps and get told yes, essential, or no, not needed. The trouble is you cannot say yes or no as a general rule.

Ever tried a harmonizer? TC Helicon VoiceWorks

I dug this unit out today - and the video is a walkthrough of the different preset programmes. Some are useful, some just plain strange! I can see the solo singer in a bar maybe? You have to work hard to create your own pile of songs through!

Found all the bits of a live show, managed the edit!

I thought I’d share this because I’m pretty pleased with what I have done. Pre-covid we recorded a show in a theatre and ended up with a hard drive full of the video clips from cameras and the sound files recorded from the M32 to a MacBook.

HELP - Digitizing ADAT sVHS Tapes
Forums
Hello, hopefully someone here knows the answer to my question.
I'm currently digitizing sVHS tapes using JVC VHS player, together with 'Elgato Video Capture' software.
I'm having the same consistent problems with all the tapes that say "ADAT" on them. All of them do not have any picture or sound. Tape is spinning, but 'No Signal' keep blinking on the screen.

Standing desk for music production?
Forums
Anyone use a standing desk for music production?
If so, what's your setup? (ie. sitting / standing, manual adjustable desk or with a motor, which brand you might recommend, etc.)
My current setup is very ghetto (and clunky / uncomfortable) so thinking about how to design something that's most optimized for a smooth workflow, yet comfortable for many hours of production).
