6 Vintage Siemens Compressors

Hi - thought I'd let you guys know about these. Circa mid - late 70's - from a console. Planned to rack them - but never got around to it. In Aust - but postage shouldn't be too bad for O/S - about 4 kg all up. Please write with any questions - cheers, rich http://cgi.ebay.com.au/vintage-siemens-com...

Sounds like a great buy - I've got one of these too.

I think you might mean 'Bleach' in terms of Nirvana's MX 5050 connection. I'd wager that 'Nevermind' used more than the 7 tracks (one was apparently down) available for their debut.

Good luck with the sale.

Grandaddy effect on "I'm OK with my decay"

Hi all - I suppose I should post this under the listening forum also? I'm a big fan of Grandaddy - and have always been really struck by the prominent, effected backing vocals that come in after the chorus in this track. They have a really specific mood - which to me mirrors that early 80's real, in...

Lots of good advice here. I can offer this. I am a drummer - and in my youth was obsessed with getting a resonant 'boom' out of my 24x14 Rogers. I had a d112. Pre, room, compression - whatever it sure as shit wasn't going to happen with this mic and i figure it won't work for you. It's a modern kick...

I swear that's the greatest piece of writing if read in too long. You'd figure you'd pay money to see that guy with Monster in court. Sufjan Stevens needs to write a song about this.

great snare - probably the worst head in the world to be on it. coated ambassador or similar single ply head with medium (or greater) tension could sound fantastic.

'nebraska' will stand up in history as the greatest recording springsteen ever made. there's nothing kitchy or retro in that album - it's dodged the issue of being dated to a time - most likely because, initially - it wasn't intended to be an album (as i understand it). the band recorded a version o...

Thanks very much guys. The only thing that still confuses me now- is the wiring for the impedence switch. - doesn't seem to be covered by the schematic? - or maybe i'm missing it?

B&O BM3 schematic/block diagram?

hi guys. i have a bm3 ribbon mic- and oddly enough the ribbon is in fine shape - however the fine, hair-like wiring has become brittle and has come apart from the transformer and tmo & impedence switches. I have looked all over the net for a schematic to help figure out the wiring - but have had no ...

Oh yeah - i also just remebered - it's also part of bonham mythology? that he could capably bust a 26 inch Vistalite bass drum shell (at the spur mounts) on any given gig. Bonham wwas stong and Vistalites are not - I figure he went through more than a few. Although I've never seen pictures of him wi...

I'm open to (inevitable?) contradiction - but I've read that Bonham never recorded with Vistalites. He apparently stuck with either the maple finish 24 x 14, 15 x 12 , 16 x 16, 18 x 16, 14 x 6.5 kit of the very early years or the green sparkle - 26 x 14, 14 x 10, 16 x 16, 18 x 16, 14 x 6.5? kit.
