As you all know, we do love our ribbon mics and Royer makes some of the finest on the market. Royer announced their new Ribbon, R-101 to be released Sept 1, 2010. @ $895 .

designed for studio work and demanding live applications (particularly live electric guitar and brass)

I posted the product release in our news section here:

I am starting to take recording seriously, myself and friends have a group that raps, with occasional singers for choruses, etc. I am piecing together a home studio for us, as now we are recording into a laptop at various locations. I am in IT, so the computer was easy (and cheap).

Every year the virtual world gets more interesting for me. If you are hip to the virtual world, this video, and their other ones are definitely worth watching. Spectrasonics is really very impressive.

Hello all. I am new to live recording and I wanted to look into a pair of mics I could use to record at small clubs and venues. My thoughts are this – to be able to run a signal from the board when the engineer is cool with that and have the pair for additional recording. Or they would be my main recording devices when I couldn't get a signal from the board.

Hello Everyone,
I'm looking to record electric violin out of an SWR California Blonde II acoustic amp. The sound is very much like that of an acoustic violin/viola/cello. The genre would be mostly classical and soundtrack.

Right now all I have an SM-57 and a Tascam US-122L Audio Interface, which does not work very well at all for capturing warmth, definition, and liveliness.

Let's say it is a basic nothing special drum set (drummers don't kill me) and you had to mic it up but you only had two SM57s and two channels to work with, how would you do it? Would you put one mic on the kick and one mic on the snare and let the rest of the set bleed over.

I ask because using external microphones with the Zoom H2 is almost imposable as the pre-amp is so bad. Has anyone used the Alesis PalmTrack with a decent external microphone? How well does it work?

Hello everyone

I tried posting this question over at gearslutz but nobody had any help for me. I forgot about my account here that I had years ago so I'm glad I'm back because I got more help here reading through the forums. Here's the question I asked:

Yes... I am very much a noob at studio setups/equipment routing. I'd like to know what cables I need to start recording on my PC.

I just got finished with a session where I used two of these mics. They're borrowed, but I sure would like to own these! They are side-address small diaphragm condensers.

I put them in head-to-head position on my Blumlein bar, rotated them about 90 degrees from each other and recorded acoustic guitar in stereo.
