Do you guys have an opinion on what is easier to mix. A 3 piece power trio on about 12 to 18 tracks, or a 48trk+ mega production. Just curious.

Hi everybody
I'm working on a project,during the singer sound check
we found that the U-48 was more efficient than the U87 .The point is : Is there a non-valve mic that features that kind of tube-feeling ?or do we have to go tube,anyway ?
BTW, except for its lack of gain,we liked the 48 better,

Thanks in advance

I'm getting to where I'm starting to get comfortable with how all my invidual sounds sound in my mix, but for some reason I cant get a lot of depth out of the individual instruments. Is it because I dont have any high-end mic preamp's (YET!) and I'm mixing all in the box within PTLE, or is there anything I can do to add depth.

I read a post on R.A.P.
I'd like to see this topic and possible a singing forum grow on RO so I snipt his question and added my opinion.

Ok, so I realize that this isn't a vocalist newsgroup, however, there doesn't seem to be one besides those geared towards opera singers, so I'll ask here since someone out there might have had some experience with this.

Hi guys,

well, there's a guy who seems fairly desperate to offload a '76 JH16 with a JH114 transport, auto locator II, a couple extension cards blahblah...he seems pretty up front that it's a fixer upper, but not a parts machine supposedly. heads are 30-40% and the erase head is no go on ch.4, most of the lights are out etcetc...

Anybody done testing on Lead Free Solder? Kester makes 95%Tin5%Silver (mostly for potable water sources). Only other Silver I've found is RadioShack 2% Silver, rest lead and tin.

I am working with a band who is one of the greatest hard rock bands I've heard in a while, except one thing, the drummer is not great. From what I was told, they made a demo and it took their drummer 3 days to get 2 passable drum tracks with a click.

SM57 always gets honorable mention..

So what’s the deal with this mic? Why does it always get mentioned with such praise? I was just curious because I bought one about 14 years ago (and still have it). I don’t recall what I paid for it but I don’t think it was all that expensive.

Opinions on the Groove Tube VIPRE Microphone preamp?
