I have a sh*tty little room to record drums in. Thus, My overheads sound like drums in my sh*tty little room. Very cardboard box like. I have started using a pair of dbx 160x's on them. The attack that the comps help me get is a great improvment, however they still sound like cardboard.
Should I roll all the lows off and just go for crisp and thin?

Other than the compressor is there any difference in how they sound?

Anybody own both?

Need opinions.

thanks

I've seen a couple of silver 1178's for sale on Ebay, usually described as a stereo version of an 1176. Sounded pretty intriguing, except that recently on one of these forums someone (sorry, can't remember who, but I think it was someone heavy) said that the 1178 in no way sounds anything like an 1176. The implication was clearly that it was an inferior beast.

For those of you who have been following my ongoing problems with Cubase and various computers, here is some new information:

How do you guys record large choirs?

Somewhere there was a killer thread on winxp tuning/tweaking
I think it was at the cubendo forums anyone know the link ?

To say that I've been interested in the MDR-2496 is an understatement. However, ever since I've heard about it, I can no longer find Mackie online. I've tried Mackie.Com and Mackiedesigns.Com, and with either of those (this is peculiar) Internet Explorer either can't find the page or it locks up.

This board didn't get a lot of exposure in the industry to start off with, I guess due to the success of the VS series of digital studio workstations.

Howdy

I'm looking for a few good MIDI programmers for a project that will lead even the most sane person to the brink of insanity (just look at me). This project requires a gaggle of skills some of which are:

- a comprehensive, El Tweako Grande MIDI sequencing skills

- an authoritative command of synthesis

- a firm grasp on contemporary music theory concepts
