Hey guys, have a big session coming up and was wondering if any of you guys have any ideas on how I can get a killer bass tone. (Rock/Country) I ususally go thru a Meek VC3Q which I like and use a LA 2A (uad card) for comp. Sometimes just into my A%H board then Nuendo with the magneto plugin on it. Rarely do I use a mic sound.

Hi friends! Seems I do need to leave the junior mastering thing and pick some pro gear, however under a limited budget.

What would you guys recommend me as a first entry ?
a better d/a?
compressor?
equalizer?
monitors?

I have a project coming up where we've decided we're going to focus getting more of a 70's drum sound - direct micing, very little room sound. The tom mics I currently have don't really fit the bill, so I'm wondering if I should invest in some of the cheaper LD condensers - Marshall/MXL, perhaps. I've heard of some people doing this, but I'm not really sure which models.

I'm looking for a pair of small condenser mics, which will be an upgrade from some AKG C1000s's. I would spend as much as 800 for the pair. Any suggestions? Thanks,

allright - hey guys -

recently i purchased a pair of nt5's matched. i'm wondering if i need to take one out of phase in order to get the correct and best sound from them. can anyone expound on the intricacies of matched pair pics - the whole when where how and why? thanks!

Hi all,
Just trying to see what everyones' opinion of what
the term "smooth" means in reference to a mic's characteristics.

Smooth as in not hyped or?

Hey guys, got my semi pro studio up and going and doing pretty well. Was wondering what you guys would suggest for a next upgrade. Thinking I should get a nice Pre for all around. Then more specialized pre's as I go. How does this sound? Looking at spending $1500 or less on a new or used Pre. Avalon, Manley, RNP, Focusrite, AMEK , Whats should I do.

The singer I'm currently works with sounds awsome on this mic. But I'm not happy with the overall quality of the signal. I may perhaps just have a "bad" one, as my friend did buy it from guitar center 5 years ago, but I've always hear people saying the tone of the mic will be horrible if you happen to get a bad one, not the noise level or sensitivity.

Anyway...

Hi friends!

Have you tested MXL V69, V67,V77, 2001 and 2003 models?

Which is more suitable for:
a)vocals
b)strings
c)guitars?
d)snare?

Thanks in advance
Nice weekend
:)
:p:

Hey guys which one of these mics in your opinion is more versatile? Obviously the B3 has more patterns but how is the sound? Good for drum room, or overheads?Are C4s good for capturing room? Is the Nt4 exceptionally good for overheads? These questions are confusing me.Help! I need a pair of cheap good mics.(I have a pair of C1s) Thanks :w:
