the title of this thread should be called "pushing buttons".

Just picked up an old ATI m-1000 "Precision Dual Microphone Preamplifier" off of eBay for about 40$. It's easily worth 10x that from what I can hear so far. Has more clean gain than I can use, even with ribbon mics.

So a legitimate release, what has a bar code? And this legitimate survey was done from your myspace page?

+1 on the transient designer

Really sturdy and they actually go tall enough for everything except a vocalist. When set on a table or counter top it would work just fine. Drum OHs? I think the earlier question around what the source of these recording might be would really help drive a lot of this conversation in the right dire...

Just curious, what's the plan for mic stands, cables, etc...? I can't imagine trying to get any # of mic stands onto a flight without checking baggage. Anyway, I currently have two mobile rigs (depending on how compact I want to be.) One has a digi002, an Alesis converter, a 4 channel sytek, 4 Yamah...

multiple mics and a moving source will give you that phasey badness. if you only use one of the guitar mics does it get better?

What if you were to add the same audio track on 4 different tracks and use the solo feature from this plugin (without any compression applied)?

Edit: They also have a C6 if you want to split into 6.

Does he already have a pre for other mics that don't use phantom?

I thought this was going to be about the Who song "A Quick One While He's Away"

If his interface doesn't have any (or enough) mic pres, the Symetrix 202 and old ATI pres usually are reviewed well (both of these I would put in the budget category, they can often be found for less than $100 on eBay.) I had a FMR Really Nice Preamp which was great for the $, and I currently have a...

Is he recording to a computer interface? I'd be surprised if the Behringer offered any improvement over the stock pres in whatever he's using.

Really?

So I picked up a new Beyerdynamic m130, and I was surprised at how quiet the mic is and conversely, how much noise is audible when the preamp is cranked so that the source is at a reasonable level. My source is a fairly loud acoustic guitar, the mic placement is about 6 inches from the guitar, point...
