Longshot: anyone have Harrison TV3 documentation/schematics?
Harrison says they don't, but for $120/hr they'll rummage around a little more. Hmph.

Question re: cutting vinyl and wildly out of phase things
I've never done vinyl before, and here I am working on four vinyl releases all the sudden. Two of them are pretty atmospheric with minimal concern for mono compatibility; on each there are at least a couple moments where they really like doing the phase-flip stereo widening thing (one even had a ped...

A(analogue)Sys(tems) stuff is awesome, the A(analog)Sol(utions) gear seems to generate more divided opinions. I haven't used the sequencers/percush generators but those appear to be the ones people universally like. I was interested in the self-contained ASol board as a live instrument, but every ti...

They sound really great - you can really wrench things out of a bad place with them and obviously then do even better with stuff that sounds pretty close from the get-go. They do make everything jump in volume a ton, which is a little weird, but not too hard to work around. I've only used then brief...

That's intersting. My CMVs are just too midrangey for me to use on violins most of the time. Great mics, though. they were definitely midrangey, but in a good way. This was in context of super dense post rock kinda stuff as well, not hi-fi classical string stuff; the CMV was really bumping up the l...

It's good to listen to the thing from a few angles. I've not had much luck with room mics or any sort of front-side close mic for normal banjo sounds. With closed back banjos (i'd guess picking style affects this as well, but I don't really see enough banjos in to break it down) I like an SDC about ...

A guy recently showed me how critical super minute differences in snare-wire placement can be. He reset the wires to be absolutely equal in placement distance from the rim on either side (i'd always kept mine close, but wasn't freaking out about small discrepancies) and just like that, way less buzz...

CMV563+m7s. I was pretty happy with 4038s on violins and cellos before; the 563 was just that much better - especially on the violins. Had two bands in this weekend and got to try it on electric guitars (ranged from bad to passable), hand percussion (as good as played-so-fast hippie drums will ever ...

I used to have one of those as well as a blue 622. The 642 was definitely more useful - some usable headroom, less noise. Didn't do anything particularly exciting, but was nice to have around for tracking stage adjustments. I liked it for toms and room mics at tracking to filter/cut out unwanted mur...

My policy has become that at 9.5 hours, I reserve the right to tell everyone to start winding down the night in tracking situations. We pretty routinely go over it, but often with the understanding that we're going to start 45 minutes late the next day. The strings of 14 hour days are not missed. It...

Bought an old Oahu Tonemaster last spring that sounds great. I was thinking about that Gretsch but the Oahu wasn't much more expensive and was definitely one of those "yea, this is the one" moments plugging it in. $400-500 should snag one. Solid build, big fat pickup. It felt a little more substanti...

Blues JR in the inexpensive camp for sure. It looks like it's part of the Hot Rod series of amps, but sounds better. In the more spendy realm, Dr Z amps are great. The Maz 18 is my generic answer anytime someone asks what amp to get. Think of it as 65% Deluxe Reverb and 35% AC15. Well made, not insu...
