I ended up using the LT1358 opamps from Linear Technology which worked out great for me. Also suggested were Burr Brown OPA2604, OPA2134, and the favorite for detailed, gentle sound with least amount of noise, flat frequency response and low distortion was the National Semiconductor LM6172. These su...

sounds like you're missing the mid. The Mid-Side (M/S) micing technique requires two microphones, one bi-directional (figure eight) microphone for the side and one generally Cardioid patterned microphone for the Mid (I say generally because I have heard quite often people using omni or hypercardioid...

wow, thanks so much for all the insight guys, tons of great info. VVV, I have tried the parallel thing along with the drum bus a couple times, mostly on metal and rock stuff, but only did it leaving the parallel uncompressed to try to add back in some transients but I never got it to add anything sp...

after doing some research myself a while back, I decided to build a pair out of two 2x8 pieces of lumber per stand, cut to a little over 3' for the supporting legs, with 3/4" MDF for the top and bottom plates. Some more specifics, total price and pictures here -> http://davidevansmcdonald.wordpress....

Parallel comp/New York comp??/whatever works comp on Vocals

So today while attempting to record & mix a cover of a modern rock tune I enjoy I was attempting to mix some of the vocals as closely as I could to the sound of the original mix and decided my single chain of compression wasn't cutting it. So I tried doing a two stage compression approach and still ...

If one of the project one series stuff you have happens to be the dbx 242 (the parametric eq) I'd be interested in buying it from you if you're getting rid of them. :wink:

thanks so much for all the helpful info. I am not so much concerned with audio quality of inputs on the camera (or even having any) as I will mostly just be syncing studio recordings to the video or capturing audio via my pro tools rig. I would also like to stay relatively cheap with this (spend jus...

But it would be cool to have a high-definition (720p or 1080p... i don't know you tell me) small video camera for the purpose of recording sessions, making studio updates/album teasers for bands, documentation of tech wo...
