First of all: Recording.org rocks the nation.

Now, Secondly: I want to kill my new mic! I received it four days ago. Have a look.

This baby comes, as said, with its own power unit. A seven pin XLR connects the mic to the power unit. A three pin XLR connects the power unit to your input device (in my case an M-Audio Solo).

Hi, I read somewhere that with most any valve mic's that the longer you leave em to warm up - the better they sound. I'm talking MUCH better!

and that 3 hours minimum was suggested even overnight if possible.

Now - I was wondering if this is true of Valve Guitar Amps too?
My marshall tsl602 suggests 3 minutes warmup time before playing..

Sorry for all these noob questions. But ive deciced to buy a Behringer Tube Ultragain MIC100 heres some infomation on it http://www.Behringer.com/MIC100/index.cfm?lang=ENG ok now i want to plug this into the microphone plug on my sound card which is the mini plug i think basiclly what a walkman uses.

I just purchased the lawson L251 tube mic to replace my Neumann TL103. I have a ten day trial on this mic. Out of the box, i have to say that i am not reallying hearing a huge difference between the two mics. and i might even say that i am really disappointed. My signal path is the mic directly into an Avalon M5 then into my MOTU 2408.

Hello, I'm new to the forum.

I'm a singer/songwriter, and in the process of setting up my home recording studio.

Here's what I have:

PC is a Dell 2400 series, Intel Pentium 4 Processor at 2.20GHz, 256MB, hard drive 40GB.

Martin D35

Roland MA-8 Monitors (a gift)

Beyer dynamic M88N(C) mic. (old, but rebuilt)

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.).

So I just bought some new old gear.

(2) White 30 band EQs
(1) Blues Tube preamp

Has anyone heard of these White EQs before? What do you think? I haven't got them up and running yet.

I've seen a few home engenieers using Blue Tube preamps. Good? Bad?

I read the manual but it really isn't that good lol Its for people who are familiar with preamps, I am not.

Someone plz break this down for me and how to use this thing. I have a RODE NT1 Condensor MIc.
