How do you guys feel about using tube mics into tube preamps? Is this just "too much tube"?

I'm assuming all my favorite, character-drenched recordings from the 70's used this chain (and then some - tube eq's, tube compression, etc.).

hi guys i just purchased RODE NTK TUBE MIC...can anyone suggest me the suitable PRE...for this mic...i recorded it direct first..on songs like ballads or slow tempo song it really sounds warm.. and on the fast songs it is'nt sounding warm... why is that. can anyone explain this to me...

Hello,
I have Avalon 737sp and AKG414EB and Nady 1150 tube mic,and I want to buy some expencive microfon(brauner valvet vocal or manly reference cardiodid),but I heard that is better have non tube mic with tube pre and vice versa,so I wonder IS IT TRUE,then i rather buy brauner fantom C or Neumann U87.

Thanks in advance

I have a pair of Kiwis and Gefell m930s that I am happy to have. HOWEVER, I would like to expand the mic selection with one more mic that would be great on male/female (at least 50% of the time) and great on flute. Rich, smooth but not muddy, especially because it will be in a big mix. Also, if it would be good as a third mic on piano bass, that would not bother me at all! THANKS

I just ordered a K2 today. Was wondering about other peoples experiences using a tube mic (specifically the K2) on cabinets...
Thanks

I just purchased a RODE K2 today. was hoping for some tips on upkeep and use. I haven't ever used a tube mic, though some studios i worked for had them. Anything will be appreciated...

Hi everyone

Can I use tube mic with tube mic preamp ?

For example Numann M149 with Avalon vt-737 tube preamp...

So I have this all tube guitar amp, (Peavey Classic 30, highly under rated) which has a line coming out right after the preamp, to insert effects and such.

So I was wondering, is there a way to hook a mic into it, use it as mic preamp-amp(on the clean channel, I presume), then have that line out go to a mixer?

Hello Guys!

Does anybody work with this box or know how it sounds?

Thanks - Vagelis

Is there any role to not use tube mic with tube pre?
I have Avalon 737sp and nady 1150 and AKG 414 eb.
Which one of mics should I use?
Thanks in advance
