Thanks again, everyone: a 201 (or two!) is definitely at the top of the "to buy" list.

Beyer M69 vs. M201 on snare

l've been using the M69 on snare in a live club setting for a few years now, and totally love it: like a smoother, meatier 57. l've heard a lot of love thrown the way of the M201, and l've been thinking about picking up one. Do the two mics have a similar enough sound profile that l wouldn't hear mu...

TC M1XL delay question

Hey all, l'm a live sound engineer. My main vocal fx is an M1XL. l've got a Tascam RC-30P hooked up to it to use as a remote tap.

Best video tutorials for Logic noob?

Hey all, I was just given Logic Pro 9; I'm in the process of reading the manual, but would love to check out good video tutorials outlining the basics. I was told that Lynda is the ultimate way to go, but I'm reluctant to spend $25/mo. on it. Can you fine folks recommend any online video tutorials? ...

Did you try troubleshooting your signal chain? If you're getting the same problem thru different amps, there's definitely something squirrelly in the chain; any of the amps you've mentioned should do the job you want nicely...

Sound & production

Pick up, if you can, "If I Could Only Remember My Name," David Crosby's 1st solo LP. There's a song on side 2, "Traction In the Rain," that is just one of the most amazing sounding recordings I've ever heard. The rest of the album is pretty good, but that track is just a mind-blowing example of what...
