Ugh both mics sound pretty terrible by themselves...but its a good performance captured so I am kind of stuck...what delay should I look at using? Would just a pedal delay work or is there a studio rack thing I need?

I have been trying to fix a dual mic recorded guitar track which I think suffers from being out of phase...I either chose the wrong mics (at3035 at about 2 ft and a pro37 on grill) or misplaced the mics...but I am suffering from what sounds like flanging between the two mics...How can I fix this? I ...

Can anyone recommend Bob Weston? I love his recordings ala Todays Actice Lifestyles how are his mastering and cutting skills....and prices comparitively?

Ok sounds like my very first question should be who are some recommended vinyl masterers who do all analog mastering?
Second who are recommended vinyl masters who do digital to vinyl mastering?
Thanks for your help : )

Thank you for the reply, this is exactly the kind of response I want to hear. I originally wanted to go AAA which is why I have the Otari but I was feeling when listening back (albeit digitally A/B) that the straight digital transfer was a bit clearer than the tape 2 track version. I was also under ...

Hello all please help guide me. I am frustrated by my inability to find clear information about what I need to do to properly transfer my reels for a vinyl pressing. I am using a Tascam TSR8 for tracking and am ok through tracking...what to use next is where I get hung up. I have compared mixing dow...

OK I am a novice here I am trying to set up a simple live recording unit on my laptop I am running a pair of MXL 604s into a Mackie 402 then into a EMU0202 and finally into a MACBOOK using Audacity at 96K ok here goes...feel free to make fun of my lack of knowledge here 1.) what kind of cable should...

Finally bucked up and got a decent mic a AT4050 however mine didnt come with a shock mount and I was shocked haha by the price of the AT ones....soooooo my question is what other shock mounts will work with this mic? The cheaper the better but I also want something solid...is there a generic noname ...

From what you describe, it sounds like you are planning to go straight into your tape machine with no mixer? Yes I am I also am not using any preamps besides the built in ones on the TEAC ... does the lack of using a preamp mean that I really shouldn't use a ribbon mic then? If I am not in the realm...

Its more an experiment than a philosophy...I have a crummy Fostex 450 board which I think isnt helping anything...lets try less is more and see what happens is where I am coming from. So now that I am on the hunt for a m160 for the guitar cab. WHat should I get for the organ cabinet? I am running a ...

thanks again for all the advice but now I really want to know is there any advantage disadvantage to new versus old m160s?

please to explain "gain on tap" with ribbons ?
I will be running this straight into the front end of my TEAC.
I am trying to run as simple and pure a signal chain as possible and not use external preamps

awesome thanks everyone it looks like I am thinking about nabbing a 421 and m160. Now the question is do I need "VINTAGE" versions or are teh newer ones just as good or better as far as reliability? Also where should I position a single mic on an AC30?

sounds what I am looking for how does it compare next to the 421?
Also does teh M160 need phantom power (do ribbons run on phantom?)

I am transferring to 1/4" two track and after a bit of experimentation today found that 90% of the hiss I was picking up was from the mixing board I have...so I think if I can either do mixdowns somewhere with a decent board I will be ok.
