TOA RX-216 Console, what do you guys think about it. I have a Yamaha MC 2404. Upgrade or downgrade?

It's an alright board, I have one. And no it's like the pm1000 at all. Not as good, but usable. You can get the manual on the Yamaha website.

i've gotten good stuff with oktava's and SDCs in general; though, i agree that 57s will do the job just fine. it's all about mic placement.

Cool, thanks a lot.

Does anyone know of a good reasonably priced piano tuner in LA?

I?ve personally liked a spaced pair of LCDs about 3 ft away pointed at the body and 12th fret. I find it has a nice balance. But as someone mentioned earlier, playing style is essential to how the player is miced, in this case more so than a regular acoustic guitar. Good luck, let us know what you g...

Now thinking about it. I think its better if you switch the earthworks with the ATs. Seeing as how the QTCs are very nice with picking up everything, the choir might overpower and you wont have very much control.

You don't need all those fancy mics. Just get an RNP, RNC, a 57 and you'll be golden.

Sorry just needed to do that since you've been asking me about this set up for the last month.

Ok. I'm currently using a pair of Sony V900s. They're nice, but then I heard a pair of low end grados. The open-back design just felt so much more comfortable and cleaner. So now I'm in with some extra cash and I'm looking at getting either the AKG K-701s or Sennheiser HD-650s. I'm going to use thes...

I vote for the Miles Davis Quintet from the mid-60's with Ron Carter, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter and Tony Wiliams. Some of the most remarkable group interplay ever. Although the compositions have strong themes and the playing is souful and passionate, their is something very non-linear going on;...

I wish I had the cash...I just oggle on ebay. And when I do have the cash like today, I forgot to raise my bid on an Altec 1589 pre on ebay. It went for $126.

I like the VLA with a Groove Tubes GT55 for vocals (depending on the singer), it's also cool for micing bass with an LCD. Although uncoventional for most of us here, the EH sounded cool with a baby bottle on a bass cab. As I record more I realize that recording is an art because of its subjective na...

What mics and comps have you tried?

im probably going to be recording some drum tracks, and im going to be doing this on the drumset at my church, so im going to have an omni like 20 feet from the set i think and im gonna compress it to hell. Like said above, thats prolly the sound ur looking for, I would suggest using a cardiod LCD,...

Thanks guys, the complements mean a lot. Especially from a group like this. The guitar player was very sloppy. And on top, he had the gain syndrome. :roll: So, the guitar tones were pretty horrid. I wish they were usable, but to no avail. I'm actually glad we recorded guitars later (as I had a heavy...
