I have recently heard my AKG3000 on different ART preamps (Pro Channel, and the new digital dual channel pre) and I was very suprised. I have doubted my reasons for buying this mic and yet these two preamps elevated a 300.00 mic to a 700.00 brand.

Specificaly the V69 and 2001 and 990?

Hello. I am doing some home recording for my band and I can get the guitar to sound great, but the vocals sound like crap, they are boxy and sound like you are holding your nose and I know that it is because of the type mic I have. Well, I was wondering what is a good(not extremly expensive) mic proablly somehwere between $100-$400 microphone for recording vocals.

Where should the mics be for double tracking a vocal
next to each other?
1 ft apart and 1 ft from source?
I seem to be getting phase problems
Thanks in advance

Hi again !

I want to buy one really good vocal mic, i already have a TLM 103, c414-tl2, RODE nt-2 and lots of small diafragm condensers and dynemic mics, now,i'm lookin' for a "flagship" microphone to my mics cabinet, and on the +- same price range there is the u87 u47fet m147 and a few more mics i can't remember.

Hello,

I'm just wrapping up a four song demo for some young rockers who play a very similar style to Tool, Poison the Well, Deftones, Primus, etc.

They need a CD to take to clubs to solicit live gigs.

I have never actually BOUGHT a mic stand. Now I am in a position that I need to buy enough for my studio. If anyone could recomenend a reliable brand, I would appreciate it.

I dont need starbirds or atlas stands.

Hi guys,

I am soliciting opinions on my next gear purchase. Given this gear, AKG Solid Tube, KM-184, M-Box, into a Power Book G4 with and external firewire harddrive attached, what would be my next best and most logical purchase? I am using this gear to record acoustic guitar, mandolin, fiiddle, bass, banjo and vocal.

Has anyone purchased a Neumann TLM127 mic yet? How does it compare to it's bigger siblings ie: the M149 tube mic, & U 87 mics? Does it have any noticable coloration to it? What's it's personality like? Is this a decent mic worth purchasing?
