Hi,

Newbie hear and completely new to the home recording world however after never being happy with the rushed time frame and arsehole producers of studio recording I have decided to become somewhat a hermit and study the art of recording.

I am a singer songwriter / multi instrumentalist of an indie / psychedelic / pop / grunge ilk . . however I am not technically minded.

1. Api pres are sick on aggressive drums, they may not sound great isolated, wait until you get a mix going
2. I was right 6 years ago, SM7B is still awesome on the bottom of a snare through Daking pre
3. Royer 101, yeah it is sick, buy one, now
4. Patchbays are easy if you spend 1 month to think about it, then 6 hours to wire it

LOL,

Hey,

What's on your 2012 gear wish list?

Hey all!

I run a project called Gear-Wiki – a recording gear and musical instruments database. My ambition is to turn this into a comprehensive reference for any and all gear and I am looking for like-minded folks who want to help! :)

Hi all, I'm considering the purchase of a Universal Audio 710 mic preamp.

My question is: will it outclass my pair of RODE NT2a mics? Is it too much pre for these mics to the point that I will need to upgrade the mics?

Thanks for your thoughts.

I have a very nice spring reverb that I use between my guitar and my guitar amp. I would like to connect it to my studio patchbays and use it during mixdown.

It is a tube buffered unit...to be specific, a Dumblelator-type circuit with the reverb hard-wired into its effects loop.
