How do the two reissues sound different from one another(the TBX and Custom Classic)? The TBX is closer to the older AC30's, and the CC ones have added features I think. Are the valve configurations the same? I know the TBX's are about $400 more and the CC's are made in China.

Hey all, planning towards new additions. Primary style Gospel-Hip-Hop, RAP, R&B, etc. Current pieces:

SP C1
MXL V69M
Focusrite ISA 428
MOTU 2408MKIII

I'm wanting to add to my pallete the Vintech X81 and either the TUBE TECH compressor or the Distressor. I also am locked on the Blues Kiwi and the AD card for the ISA.

G'day All,

Stumbled on this site a couple of days ago in desperate search for help with recording, Metal Vocals.

My next stage in upgrading my DAW system is to purchase some plugins. I plan mainly to record vocals and acoustic guitar. I'm not lookin' for anything fancy - a nice natural reverb / delay, a compressor and EQ.

I've thought about TC Powercore, UAD1 and a Wavesbundle.

Can anyone give me their opinion?

Cheers!

Working a client that does "old time" acoustic/vocals (with bass and drums but I'm mainly concerned about the acoustic/vox). Any ideas on Micing to capture that ballsy Martin sound?

Hey all,

Hey folks,

hi all i,m recording close up vocals and acoustic guitar together and was thinking of hiring a u47 for this .It,s a sweet sounding mail voice that is so much part of the guitar that any separation spoils it .i,m getting a nice feel with an oktava mkl2500 but i thought maybe a good u47 would be the business cheers for any inspiration julian

I'm looking to buy a really good mic preamp for vocals and occasionally Rhodes/guitars, or maybe horns.
I have U87 and RME converter to Pro Tools TDM.
I mainly do Hip Hop/ RnB.
Looking to spen $2000-$5000.

I am currently mixing a number of tracks for an amateur production. One of these tracks involves a vox recording through a stereo mic. Because there are about 6 people singing, but not simultaneously, and there was not much studio time, the recording engineer (not me) decided to choose this option.
