Aren't they used for really hard rockin' overdrive too?

Electro Voice mics generally sound great on horns so I second the RE20. Maybe even RE11, RE18, etc would be good too. I like dynamic mics on trumpet usually.

Just want to say I love the Cars too! "Just What I Needed" with Benjamin Orr on vocals is one of my all time favorites! Too bad he passed away in 2000. Bummer...

I told a band that's coming in for work soon that they needed better gear and to buy a tuner. They are unique and cool sounding but they're kids who don't tune to a tuner enough. Also the "guitarist" hits strings so hard he breaks them a lot. I pulled no punches in telling them to be more profession...

My RNC does some strange clicking when I push the makeup gain too hard. It distorts a little or somthing. Still works OK but it's tougher to set it up right when I need to compensate for heavy compression. That's sucks about yours. It's cool they will look at it quick though. I still think for the m...

I have some decent colored pres and comps already but was thinking of that Alesis Smashup for some total color. Is that thing as great as the "Smashup rules" thread implies? I bet you could get really nasty over-the-top with it. Then I still have a Joe Meek VC6 that I love for color that's more refi...

Man, I'm bummed. I could have gone if I hadn't already planned a vaction that week in Florida. Then I'd take you up on that offer since I'm close and all.

Yes, "over-under" is what I call it too. I was taought to wrap them that way in college and also used it when I was an intern several years back.

Read about TapeOp in another cool forum on the internet maybe 2 years ago. Signed up for a free subscription that I have made sure to keep current when I moved recently. I like it a lot better than Mix or EQ. I used to pay for Mix subsciption and now I don't even bother with it....or Playboy but tha...

Harmony-Central still needs more categories for outboard gear that's recording specific. Or maybe just break down the Effects category. Most of the reviews that get posted are for guitar gear.

i wouldn't see a place like that having much to do when it comes to music and stuff... how do you like it? I like here most of the time. I do have quite a bit of audio work and I play in a local band. My studio does a lot of singer/songwriters with their guitar kind of stuff. We also do some radio ...

My Johnson J-station is not that great by itself but sounds pretty decent when I run it through a good preamp/DI. I've had good luck with my Joe Meek but I'm sure it would be even better through other higher end pres.

Were you?

Hey, I'm in Texas with you, Wing. I haven't received my issue yet either. What about you? I was born in ol' H-town man. Too cool.

Compressing hard rock vocals to tape with RND I use Super Nice Mode and set Ratio 2:1. 3:1 if they are really loud. Set the Attack medium and release medium to medium-long. You'll just have to experiment here depending on your vocalist. It should work great though. I'm not afraid to compress somethi...
