yeah, all that stuff varies from kit to kit, room to room, player to...you get my point.
so about the MD421? i've noticed that there is a 2nd version of this mic.
just as good or better to hunt down the original? stupid question?

i'd either get a BLUE the Kiwi (you can usually find them for around a grand now) or a BLUE Mouse (under a grand). but it might be better to get 2 different LD condensers, like maybe an AT4050 or a tube AT3060 and a Studio Projects C3 or some combination of those. hell, you might be able to get all ...

i sometimes use an older RAT pedal with cheap keyboards to get a nice
overly blown fuzz ala intro to the Watery, Domestic EP by Pavement.

i use my 90's reissue MIJ Jazzmaster thru my vibrochamp mostly. i don't know if it rocks my recording world, but it gets the job done nicely. also, borrowing other people's guitars/amps for recording rules. i sometimes get to play a 60's Gibson 335 thru an equally 60's princeton reverb to great resu...

everyone uses them...so list some of your favorites, and maybe what
you find them to be useful for. i'm just sick of my sm57s and want some
hints about other great dynamic mics. thanks!

eric

oops...yeah, um. i got a promo copy from a local record store.
but i'm going to buy it when it comes out too.

all i can say is just listen to their new album.
if you ever liked them at all, you should give it a chance.
this is their best work and i have all the older stuff.
that's just my opinion though.

now it's on.

eric

anyone else out there listening to a pre-copy of the new Grandaddy album?
talk about great sounding, creative recording & good use of crappy/great synths
and drum machines. plus incredibly interesting songwritting and use of language.
the best yet! i'm stoked. gotta go record now.

eric

thanks for the replies guys.
i think i'm gonna put em up on eBay, let someone else screw (not intended)
around with them. anyone want them? $20!

i know this isnt exactly recording specific, but i need some help! please. i recently bought a 'pedalboard' set of George L's (5 feet cable, 10 right angle connectors) at the advice of several friends and i can't get them to work at all. i cut the cable into 1 foot sections, connected the ends, plug...
