Hi Rob I (mostly) did the Black Lion specified mods on my RP220. They spec a Lundahl LL1530 transformer for the input. I actually ended up using a couple of Jensen transformers that I already had from a previous failed attempt to design and build my own tube preamp. They worked but significantly rai...

That would require a synchronizer. Like tape machines I don't believe any one manufactures them anymore. It requires laying SMPTE time code down on a track on both tape machines (you loose two track for audio recording). The snychronizer controls the tape speed of one of the machines keeping alignme...

I've been using the East-West Silver Strings package. It was my first foray in a dedicated orchestra sample playback package. It was around $200.00 when I got it. For what I do it has a very usable selection of articulations for violin and cello (as well as other instruments). I would like to have m...

I started with Cakewalk 9 back in the day and did roughly every other version upgrade through Sonar 8. I did the upgrades because I liked the added functions. While it was not perfect I never had any real issues. Starting with 8.5 and then to X1 I had major issues including having my computer consta...

I don't know if this will be useful, but Chris Ronan Murphy did a comparison including two of the preamps you are inquiring about. http://ronansrecordingshow.com/2009/10/3-mic-pres-under-500-black-lion-audio-true-systems-and-fmr-audio/ I have a ISA1 and it has become my default "clean" preamp.

I would suggest checking out the Hypercardioid Audio Technica ATM650. You can easily find then for under $100. I use it a lot on snare and have had good results on guitar amps as well. It has a better high end response and is less wooly than the SM57 but has less of a midrange scoop than the i5. It ...

I am currently reading "Zen and the Art of Mixing" by Mixerman. There is a bunch of great information about all aspects of mixing and I would definitely recommend the book. The author has a strong point of view and I don't agree with everything he says but I have learned a lot and I am really glad I...

Hey Recording Engineer I like the ATH-M50's and have had good results using them as a secondary reference and for tracking. They do seem to have a strong low end, maybe to much. They do not seem overly bright to me, I like the high end. I have not had any experience with the other headphones you lis...

I definitely had a positive result burning in four new sets of cheaper Sennheiser HD202 headphones that I had gotten for recording my last band project. I ran two at a time playing music and noise for around 4 days each. Since I had burned in ones and non burned in ones side by side I could do a com...

I just got a new Boss RT-20 Rotary Assembly and Pigtronix Philosopher King compressor, sustainer, distortion and polyphonic amplitude synthesizer. The Philosopher King is cool but the RT-20 just rocks my world. I have just never liked modulation type effects on guitar until now. This thing just take...

Even thought it does not have a tube the M-Audio DMP-3 is a very viable contender. It's a great clean little dual channel preamp that can be had new for well under $200.00. Also the Golden Age Pre 73 has a lot of gain and while it is solid state it does have input and output transformers, which have...
