awesome! I'll look into the Ashly also, but I'm not a paid engineer so this pair may just be my all-around workhorses. so the consensus is they work best on room mics and bass and some vocals... man I can hardly wait to get them and start micing up my rogers! also gonna throw my ms-20 through it for...

A great compressor. I have tried it on most things. I love it the most on snare and bass. It has a "not that clean" sound. It kind of rolls a little highs off, and you can make it pump in this very Symetrix way. Awesome for slammed overheads, or room mic sound. One thing I've been noticing is huge ...

Or, there is the Dick Cheney route. Get the mic from Guitar Center, find out the one you got from Craigs List is bad, and return the defective one with all the new packaging! haha this is classic, the only problem is then GC will sell the broken mic again and the cycle continues... my friend bought...

Re: oh fishy fishy fish...

weird Eq points on that A&H, but I kind of like those particular frequencies. You'll have to use the inserts for direct outs. Or just wire them to a patch bay like I did when I had a Soundcraft for my mixer. External power supply is a plus over a mackie. It should at least theoretically give you a ...

This lighter fluid of which you speak, it's the kind you use to blow yourself up when you light the grill? Or the kind you use to fill your Zippo? Seems that either way Naptha from Home Despot might be even cheaper. Also, I'm sure my Ghost would eat your can of Deoxit as an hors d'oeuvre. Anyway, I...

I was working on an old orban 622b tonight that had what looked and felt like brown petroleum jelly leaking out of all the pots. They were very hard to turn. I got most of it off the outer surface of the pots, but he internals are going to be trickier. I'm going to flush them thoroughly with naptha...
