Hi everybody. This is the exact question I want answered, as I'm getting ready to drop some "note" (love that) on yep - an api 312 or a neve 1272. All the descriptions in the world - even one from Mark at Averill (in a great British accent), still haven't made up my mind. And I live 200 miles from a...

Hi CDsager. 1. Ya know, I don't think any post before yours professes loudness or overly-hot mastering. On the contrary, one post said the recording didn't sound big, but sounded loud enough. Another post soon after praised the virtures of the vinyl version because it was more dynamic and not as mas...

Yeah...agreed on all accounts of bad sounding "Hail to the Thief." My girlfriend and I got it, all excited, and I was a little disappointed in the sound quality. There's one song..damn, which one...?..., that sounds so digitally dirtorted (overs) that it's really distracting. And, well, I just don't...

Hi folks...

I'm looking for a John Hardy, API (Averill), or maybe Neve single. I might be interested in a pair if the price is right...

Thanks! I won't hold my breath...

Hello all, I'm dying over here. It looks like I'm teaching summer school after all, and I would like to reward myself. What a jerk, huh? Anyway, I record small budget (m-audio, G4, soundcraft...you get the idea) and I recently got the hamptone pres built. They blew me away, so now I want more pres. ...

Hi Lucky Bastard, Ya know, I haven't heard it. Now, I'll remember to check it out. While I'm on the subject; I put in quite a bit of time over at the "Music and Mp3s" section too - a great message board "section" dedicated to just these sorts of discussions. You may not get the many replys over here...

I've heard some great things on an M20...but last I checked they weren't super cheap. Like you're going to pay $1000 for one, at least. You see xt20s going for less than 500 on Harmony Central every other day. I thought about getting one just because they were so incredibly cheap. I dunno, you could...

Hi folks...I was drooling over those calrec modules on the Averill page...they sound right up my alley. I've got nice tube pres, and now I want something with a bright "open" top to record stuff that I want to end up clean and present. Any one have any experience with Calrec stuff? Any reccomendatio...

Dave's advice is what saved me...though I hadn't heard it yet. The headphone scenario worked best...leave the top off and "tune" the buzz best you can...also check to see if it's just Channel two that's giving you the most grief, as it's nearest to the largest power transformer...

Wowandflutter (the band?), I'm not having any noise issues with dynamics, but I kind of did originally because of the sheilding issue. Also, I was getting a slight buzz using the pad. Maybe that's normal...the source level was so high that it kind of negated the noise issue anyway... I'd take a hard...

I called Scott to thank him on Saturday and he definitely has kit plans in the future. On the website, it's referred to something like the MKII LCMP. Plus, I think he plans to offer a JFET pre. Maybe even mics someday, but that's probably just my wishful thinking. As far as why the kits are disconti...

Hi folks, I think Scott is coming out with some new kits this summer (and eventhough the LCMP is long out of production), I wanted to plug the LCMP Hamptone mic pre based on my new experience with the original LCMP. I struggled to box it and finish it, right up until the morning this band showed up ...

Speaking of school, I finally broke down and bought a 5" electronics-course-in-a-book from publishers McGraw Hill. It's pretty great actually; yesterday I learned the unit of measurement to account for the exact amount of energy required for a mosquito to take off after it's bitten you - not includi...

Thanks you guys. When I finish tongight, I'll detail where I started and how the noise floor turned out. I hope it's good...this guy's coming to record tomorrow.

Otra vez, muchas gracias...
