I read somewhere that Lionel Richie is huge in Iraq and other Arab nations. One of the reasons is that he is ethnically "vague looking", and could be of many nationalities and that his music is generally positive. He also gets paid a lot of money to perform in those countries. Also, that during the ...

The crap/not crap section of the www.electrical.com can be very engaging. Type a band into the search and read away.

I got the MXL R44 yesterday. Took some pix, but 'scuse me for my dumbness...I can't figure out how to post pix on here! Hep me! Open an account at www.photobucket.com. Its free. Follow the directions and you will be up and running shortly. Just cut and paste the link of the photo you want and inser...

For cables that are not too long, i use twist ties that come with the box of garbage bags. also, for xlrs, i roll em up, connect the male to the female and put it in a plastic zip lock freezer bag, no tangling ever. i also store my mics in individual plastic zip lock bags of different sizes.

unfortunately they sound like shit and work as big frequency sponges. Its new insulation that was installed in my attic space a few weeks ago. i just ordered 55 sheets of plywood for me to cut and put up and hopefully get some "TONE" back into the space.

Yeah, jetsons lounge for a little bit. I am converting my attic into a recording space and the silver insulation cover and insulation is only a few weeks old. it sure f'd up the sound in here. just ordered 55 sheets of plywood and i'll be cutting and installing that in the next few weeks. hopefully ...

Some new goodies this is an unknown date Harmony that has a old ass looking pickup installed in it. the neck and feel is more like a nylon string, and it is certainly short scale. has a really cool unique sound, especially plugged in. $35 http://i960.photobucket.com/albums/ae82/capnreverb1/DSCN2484....

I did not have to do any math in my head on this one, the RE20. While there are some places where the 421 excells, the Electro Voice along with the SM7 are really the top tier of dynamics. I have a 421 and a 441, and I would take a sm7 or re20 any day over them. The re20 is such a big full sounding ...

I agree that "Clarksdale" is a very good record that does not get the props it deserves, but I always thought the drums sounded terrible, which I found/find odd for a Mr. Albini recording.

RCA BK-5b with art deco pop filter ball. There is no other mic like it. Magic!

I'll try to get some pics later, but here goes Mellotron (greatest keyboard ever made) Roland Paraphonic 505 Yamaha CP30 ( 70's electric piano) ARP Quartet Moog Source Wurlitzer Electric Piano (on permanent loan for my Ray Charles moments) Farfisa VIP-233 (when this is put through a reverb pedal, it...

You might want to look at the now defunct Crowley and Tripp mic's. Not cheap, but have the sound you describe and take a high spl.
