Thank you! The band is very excited about how it came out, which is gratifying. Can't wait to do it again....

Wait... what's the penalty around here for resurrecting dead threads? And is it worse if it's for shameless self-promotion? Anyway... we did it! After many sessions and a long time being distracted with other projects, I got done mixing this record for my friends and it is out in the world: https://...

Belated thanks for all the help! I used my Sanken CS-M1 (my regular boom mic) just out of frame.... but I wound up much preferring the CAD e300. I had it about ten feet up in omni mode. I didn't really realize how much room sound I was getting until I A/B'd it with the Sanken, and I loved it. We had...

Thanks. BTW, I finally took your advice and tried the TOMB ribbon as a "knee" mic. Sounded awesome! (After I took away the drummer's rack toms...)

Cool! Thanks. I have a CAD e300, which I tend to like a lot and has an omni mode. Maybe I'll try that!

My day job is sound for video production, and I just got a job shooting a solo violin performance in old church. (I have not seen the space, but I'm told it's large.) I haven't actually recorded anyone playing a violin before, so I'm curious if anyone has any general advice for me (mic choice/placem...

Thanks, that's really helpful to know.

I have a chance to get a UAD-2 (Thunderbolt 3 version) for $600. Looks to be barely used.

My current setup is based around an RME Fireface 800, which I will be sticking with for now. I have been pretty happy with the plugins I have so far, but I'm tempted by the idea of LA-2As and Pultecs on mixes.

You ever sell all this stuff? I'm interested in one of those DB-25-TRS snakes if you still have em...

Is it possible that the interface is sending signal to your phones pre-converter? Or somehow with a different S/N ratio?

Which DAW are you using?

UPDATE: ***SOLD***

Looper, works perfectly, I just don’t use it enough. $100 or make me an offer.

So much good advice here. I love this board.

I’m only chiming in to say that I made my kids turn off Dua Lipa and listen to this album in the car today because of this thread. Thank you!

Can all the mass be in the base? Or would a lighter (hollow) portion between base and speaker pose problems?

I’m thinking about whether a concrete pill from a hardware store could be used to anchor a stand built of boxed plywood or some other wood.

Can you recommend a measurement mic? I'm assuming I need something specific to the purpose, not just my Oktava MK 012 in omni...

Those look cool. Can I ask what the materials are, and how you determined the exact size? Materials are 1/4" plywood for the base, thin strips of pine for the frame, and 1/8" hardboard (aka Masonite) for the curved surface. I'm mostly improvising on the dimensions, though. Working with stuff I alre...
