Well , I do actually have an old RE-20 lying around. It's very rusted unfortunately . It died about three years ago.
I'll try and dig it out. I hope I haven't thrown it out !!
If all else fails , just get a new one. It will be worth it.
Great mic.

Does anyone know if it would prejudice my tape machine if i were to purchase an american made one, and run it at UK Mains voltage? I know these things utilise AC currents of certain frequencies. The frequency may be 1/6 lower if im running it at 50 Hz, and i dont kow what the increased voltage migh...

i used to use DBX alot on an mx5050 8 track back in the old days
until I realised what it was doing to my kick drum sound. Really flabbing it out.
Use NR with caution !

I think you could do with a couple more sm 57. Always handy to have some extra around.

What about Loius Armstrong's ' Oh when the Saints go marching in....'? Horse Race Theme in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time several in The Fitzwilliam Virginal Book "Up and Ware Them A Willie"? "Jimmie Rose"? "Darling Nelly Gray" "The Old 97" Woody Guthrie's "There is a House in This Old Town" I...

What has everyone been doing to correct (what I'm assuming) is too much ride in the mix??

Sticking a bit of gaffa tape on the ride if the drummer is a hard hitter and you don't need all the sustain , and some light compression on the overheads.

geat stuff. I have always loved the sound of the Mellowtron.

How come nobody ever busts on Donovan?

just give the singer a ton of bad crystal and a smidge of ignited napalm on the testicles..to me that is the Little Richard sound..

gates can make a big difference IMO. I'm almost always gating the kick and snare and if i have good overhead tracks i will close mic the tom toms and gate those as well. it can substantially add depth and dimension to a drum track if done properly. then again it can destroy some natural dynamics tha...

my Favorites:

Ibanez TS-9

I have used many distortions through the years and those two really stand out.
Any tube distortion I get through the amp.

I hate being poor.

this book should be an interesting read. Cannot wait to get a hold of it.

i love compressing the overheads. I have used aN RNC in the past with good results. I have two old DBX-160 VU type which i love on the overheads.
it is worth experimenting with even though you may only need a little bit.

The best bands that I've ever seen at small clubs have flat out rocked, no matter what the sound system sounded like. there are few things more annoying than watching some relatively unknown band, who you just KNOW has less than perfect sound in their practice space, acting like they "just can't pe...

...so is the dbx 160 .....
