Hello...
I was told that Harvey has a great list of products that are cheap and sound really well for their price. I am talking about stuff like mic preamp's, mics, compressors (outboard stuff), studio monitors etc...

Can you recommend some less expensive products?

I'm having trouble holding this certain mix together. The vox just doesn't seem to sit right, and I seem to be dealing with several pieces instead of a "gestalt" recording.

You can hear the tune so far at

the tune is called Roll ON

Thanks

So I'm looking to buy a good vocal mic with switchable patterns for use as overheads, room mic, and experimentation. I live in NYC and don't know of a dealer that could supply all three. I suppose, from what I've heard, that the 414B-ULS isn't worth the money though I did like the one I used last year. Can anyone either recommend a dealer in the area or give advice on any of these mics?

I own a PreSonus ACP-88 compressor which consists of eight compressor/gates. I use it exclusively for drums. I am having problems getting the gate to work well to eliminate mic bleed without the threshold set too high and decreasing the sensitivity of the drum, that is having to hit the drum extremely hard.

What a great forum! Where else could otherwise clueless folks like myself have access to such a collection of expert opinions! (No sarcasm, I'm serious!) Anyway, I've long been curious about the Gefell phantom powered Tube mic (UM900) but have yet to run into one in the flesh.Sure looks cool - but can anyone tell me how it sounds?

I have a friend who just bought a 2408 after being told by the salesman that it is all he needed to dump three sync-ed Da-88 into the PC.

I noticed Sweetwater had Soundelux E47's for sale. What's the story on this mic? Is it modeled to be similar to the U47? Thanks for any info.

I wonder, how many of you pro engineers are still recording on tape?

I'm only interested in the professional engineers because the majority of the home recording guys are using a DAW I guess :)

And which mixing console do you use?

Ok...upgrading my IBM box, maximum memory is only 384 MB :( (3X 128 MB).

Question: For audio apps, should I use parity or non-parity memory. I understand that error-checking can slow down the memory, but does it help with audio apps?

I have a ViewSonci E771 monitor. Whenever I boot up my computer my previous settings are never stored...I always have to re adjust the settings. I was told that I need to turn off the monitor with it's own on/off switch, that didn't work. Is there a way for my computer to remember the settings?

sorry if this is a bit off topic, but I can't get the answer anywhere else.
