Hello all, this is my first post here but I have been reading and this is a really great place. I have a couple of questions I'm sure you guys might have advice about.

I've been on a Radiohead, Hail to the Thief kick lately, and the mastering is very quiet, with excellent dynamics. So, I've been trying very hard to work with dynamics in my masters lately, while preserving loud volume. Here is the latest experiment at -9 dB RMS in the loud section. How dynamic or squished does this clip sound to everybody?

Hey there,

Just wondering if anyone had any experience with this processor. I know it's a fairly rare unit from the early 1980's. I've got the opportunity to pick one up for about $350.

Thanks for your thoughts.

hi everyone;

i m planning to purchase a bpm mic (tb-100), its clean however i ve no idea how that mic is like when its compared to the budget versions of todays studio projects, etc...
i ve searched this forum but have not found satisfactory info about it. has anybody got an idea or an experience with it?

thanks,

This week I just did my first gig with a pair of cheap Behringer omnis, what a differences a omni makes in the world of strings I love them. Can't wait to get some good ones.

Hi. I always wondered about phantom powered mics- which should I do first?
Power down mixer (phantom power), unplug mic cable, or turn off mic channels? Does it matter? Obviously I bring down faders and monitors first, but then what?

I own a venue and I am recording the shows right now by tracking each instrument. Its working, just too much bleed to get that great recording. The room sounds amazing so I want to record the stage area and the mix that with the vocals. Im looking at these two mics..just kinda wanted to see if anyone on here has anything bad or good to say about these two mics.

I'm preparing to produce my first of many, more following, live recording sessions in the studio. This a transition I've been looking forward to and want to start off on the best foot possible. I will be recording live bass, guitar, keyboard and drums. I believe I'm fine for everything except for the drums. I've been looking to better equip my mic cabinet and now I'm being forced to.

Hello!

To start off with, I have never taken any classes in audio engineering and do not have a lot of expertise when it comes to actually knowing how various settings effect sound.

However, I do know what sounds good and can tell when something doesn't sound too good. =)

So, I wanted to get some advice concerning a few things that we run into at our church.
