I need to quickly replace my Beyer M130 & M160 ribbon mics
(don't ask, just imagine why they need replacing)
anyhow i've never realized how difficult they are to track down

Does Full Compass ship to canada? (425$ each)
any other suggestions for good places to order these mics?

(Dead Link Removed)

I'm in the market for some budget overheads mics. Looking to spend no more than $500 for the pair. They'll be used mainly for rock and blues music. I've got my eye on a pair of the Shinybox 23C's but the figure-8 pattern worries me cause my drum room ceiling is only 7.5' (2.28m). Do you think I could get away with it if the ceiling is treated for early reflections?

I want to start a discussion about the ways to taking the electric guitars in a live show to the PA?

Do you mice them or DI them?
And why?

Perosnaly, i am not a PA man, but a guitarist!

And am starting to think about the sound, that my band can produce an really try to optimize it!

I've got around 3000$ to buy new equipment. I want to buy a preamp and a mic. I record rap vocals and sometimes female's singing.

I have a PC with an M-Audio delta 66 soundcard and a Omni i/o. I record into Sonar.

I was thinking:

pre: Avalon 737sp.
mic: Shure Ksm44, or Something from Blue at around 1000$.

what do you guys think?

dear all,

I am constantly buying mic stands. I buy the cheap ones...well because they are cheap. Their easy to replace, but they are also easy to break.

I'd like to stop and just have a nice set of good mic stands. Is there any particular brand/model out there that can stand up to some mild abuse?

Hi,

I hope you guys could help me out, i have two mics the Behringer B1 and the Mxl 2006 and i use Pro Tools for Win. Well my question is which of the two could i use i mostly produce Hip hop, the Mxl its good but the high frequencies are my problem I'm always equalizing them because it could be a problem and the B1 is good but i need to know which i could use better...

Okay, perhaps a stupid but honest question...
