Re: Best vocal mic under 2K?
Well I cannot recommend it highly enough. It is nice to run it through the Console with some effects for the purpose of an inspired performance. And like I said, I've printed the signal chain at times and been very happy with the committed approach. But to be able to just go quick and dirty without ...

Re: Best vocal mic under 2K?
I realize I'm late getting to this conversation and the the OP already made a choice. But in the event that someone else stumbles on this, I wanted to put in my $.02 on the Townsend Labs LR22. I've had one for going on a year now and it's proven to be one of the best decisions I've made for my recor...

Re: Overdrive pedals educate me
Everyone’s needs and tastes are so varied but I just picked up a Catalinbread Formula 55 that is exactly what I needed. If your mix has the sonic real estate to spare (big loose bottom on this thing), it resides in a magical place between overdrive and fuzz depending on how you use it. It’s designed...

Circling back to update my choices. I decided on the Apollo 8 Quad. Found a manufacturer refurbished B stock with full warranty and saved nearly $800! I demo'd Studio One for the full period and just this morning pulled the trigger on the Professional 3.2. During the trial, I threw up a mic to get s...

Thanks kslight and JWL. I looked at both the Focusrite and Motu units (forgoing the presonus interfaces in favor or Thunderbolt devices to go with the newly acquired but refurbed iMac). kslight, any input on the pre's from that 1248? JWL, I revisited the Clarett series from Focusrite after your post...

Help selecting an interface and DAW
I've been recording on a Roland VS2400 for about 10 years now and it's time to move up to something better. I'm considering either the UA Apollo 8 Quad or the Antelope Orion Studio. I was hoping to get feedback on the Orion vs the Apollo if anyone's head them both. I have a hard time finding any rea...

I did a "solo" project a little while back that was a big departure for me artistically where I also made a conscious decision to change my process of recording. I wanted to act fast(er), be decisive, trust my instincts at a far deeper level, and myriad other little personal battles. As part of that...

Thanks for the input! I've not tried anything like that during tracking before and if I were to do so, it'd have to be really well thought out as most everything on our recordings is just the two of us. I often try to think ahead of what the rest of the song will require and try to track individual ...

JWL, I forgot to thank you for the compliment on the instrument captures. The acoustic guitar on the one song was a hail mary mic choice that somehow worked but the fiddle is more a matter of my wife's playing -- she's got pretty amazing tone and I just try to stay out of the way. However, it was ag...

Thanks for taking a listen and giving me some feedback. While I do some automated fader rides, I'm probably under utilizing this tool. I find that I tend to get a nice ball park/middle ground and then just move them +/- 1 to 2 db throughout the song. Maybe taking a more dramatic approach could help....
