sure it'll take up less space. because it aint a console any more. one of these days all you'se cats are going to be saying "why did i think i could get away without a console" sure we do our automation in the DAW. have you read any of the guff on summing boxes? multiple outs from the DAW? use the c...

yeah i got some valve pre's for when i want it juicy, i got the studiomaster for some smack.

the channels should have pre-fader inserts - just tap off from there and you've got a post-pre post-eg direct out. no need to chop cut and destroy!

i have a studiomaster series 5 16/8/2, i use it as an 8bus rather than tapping off from each channels direct out. yes i have had to replace the insert jacks and the main out xlr's (oxidised), and i have done the internal jumper mod from -10 to +4. i love this console. it has its own sound - can get ...

not that anyone is recommending the use of the 'erb, jah? but my, it does help with the focus on those fiddly little jobs. or so i've heard. if you buy the rackrails, the hardest bit is done for you - the vertical spacing from unit to unit. there is also the thing of (supposedly) screwing the boxes ...

what about the marshall grp1 gain stage di?

i've been having a ball with it, tracking and mixing. very nasty dirty pots tho - need to replace those.

(re sgt peppers drum sound) mmmmm me likey. remind me of that one in a week, huh?

chris

totally fully. a big omni - i used to aim for about a foot or two in from the top corner of the room.

when i use a PZM it is usually as a poor cousin of the omni technique.

chris.

nice

have to try that one

chris

just remember that multiple polar patterns will also come in handy!

do you have a good amp? if so, and you need to save money, go the passive. the actives of course come from the factory as a sorted unit. thus no mismatch problems b/w that old amp you have lying around and the speakers themselves. i'm happy with passives (on a decent hi-fi amp at present) but i know...

that's one mighty big price difference b/w the standard '46 and the 46L (lundahl transformer) and the 46C (cinemag trannie) especially when you can swap out the trannies yourself. mine is the bog-standard 46. the best thing about it is that it is a ribbon for about the same price as an SM57. my idea...

hello mr. ass engineer. tee hee. you need to make more posts so you came get away from the smell of ass. ha ha ha. oh i should grow up. yes the mics are low output and require bags of clean gain. sometimes. depends on what you want, dont it? i mean, on a vocal you may need more gain in order to move...

at least the mbox2 SUPPOSEDLY can take four channels - inbuilt mic pre x 2 and 2 through the s/pdif. makes it a much better proposition for you as there is a chance to grow. totally go for the pair of LDC's, maybe even get a decent stereo bar with your spare change. if you do it right and the LDC's ...

programming-wise, the dr660 suck major ass compared to the Korg ER-1. but i still kik myself for ditching the boss - i would'a used the korg to trigger the boss when i wanted more real(-ish) sounds than the ER-1 can manage. but at least the electribe gear features a simple 808-style step program int...

well Fum got my #46 all the way to me in Australia without a problem. build quality seems great, and i have not yet removed the inner pop screen like a lot of other folks seem to. used as a drum overhead, spoken word for broadcast, air above hand percussion, disant mic on a marshall quad box, and ro...
