Topic: Bari Sax recording technique
Replies: 26

I do a heck of a lot of sax recordings and Bari we usually put up a nice LDC, but I've been using a 441 or 421 lately. I like it about as much, maybe a little less, but that's probably because the bari player I've been working with lately is kinda a bad performer. And I definitely have to say that i...

If you're on a Mac, Metric-Halo makes high quality stuff, but it's a little more pricey.

Those CD cards are nifty, but I'd be worried about them messing up people's computers by using the wrong kind of drive. Also, isn't it actually faster to just type in a web address from a business card than to pop a CD into a drive and wait for it to load up? My point was, for the nerds out there, ...

Headphones are definitely key. When pricing, never forget extra cabling. It should go without saying but I often forget anyway :oops:. The Digi003 works perfectly fine for most applications, and you always have BLA ready to mod away when you go on vacation. I personally don't like PT, but that's a d...

If you're going for quality and only need 4, Syteks are definitely worth the price. I unfortunately do not own any myself, but I love them and will be buying them if I ever have the money after getting some nice outboard gear and/or a mixer.

I'd love to be able to make a tube console. Hmm. I'm far from an EE or anything of the sort, but I really would be interested in this project.

I would advise you to scrap the idea of making business cards. I think they still serve a purpose for some businesses, but for audio engineering, I personally feel they're outdated. Really? Cause I honestly feel that the only way to remember someone is to write it down. Business cards have been the...

No, they're defunct. I emailed 6 months ago asking them about buying some monitors and got no response. I don't see where you're saying that the business is up for sale. The line: "Are you interested in acquiring a turn key studio monitor line?" just means that they're selling a turn key studio moni...

Unfortunately they appear to be a defunct company. It's a real shame because they sound amazing. I found a pair for sale this summer from someone on GS, but that was blind stupid luck...

I would recommend a Rode NT-1 over a v67 if you can afford it. I haven't used this mic much but I like it more than any MXL I've ever used. That being said, I've got a buddy who used to use MXLs (until he started working at someone else's studio). The AKG isn't a terrible mic, isn't anywhere near th...

Looking for a mixer - funny

So I was gear hunting (with my nonexistent finances, so mostly window shopping) when I stumbled upon this ebay auction:

Re: getting your foot in the door

Hey Guys, I'm a recent graduate of a state college 4 year audio-production program and am currently unemployed. I am interested in interning, and i was wondering if anyone had any personal, and hopefully inspirational stories (and advice), about how they made it into the recording biz? Much thanks....
