The Warm 73 is dog shit. Don't bother. I had a pair of the Chameleon Labs 7602s and at first liked them, but ultimately the EQ was disappointing (which I guess I'm in the minority on that). Great River, as I was reminded recently, is fucking great. IDK why I don't own at least a couple of those prea...

I've been really enjoying the Kazrog True Iron plugin lately. Mostly subtle, but sounds good at extreme settings too. Love that plug in! I haven't tried HEAT yet, and wondering if those two are very similar? This along with Decapitator (I usually have two-three instances of it per mix), Devil Loc, ...

I love Saturn. I have done some multi-band stuff with varying degrees of success, but I don't get crazy with it. Usually just pick a mode and adjust the amount/EQ. I have a preset that Audiosiege made that is for the mix buss and split into L M H and gets into the M/S functionality and I sometimes u...

Listening to the copper audio samples on Hairball’s site and I’m definitely going to build one. I used to have a 7th Circle N72 that I still miss. BUT while comparing I really fell in love with the Lola sound. I’ve always wanted a pair of super clean Hardy type pres so I’m gonna build one of those ...

wave factory plugins and they have a free Snare Buzz plugin. It’s legit snare buzz that you can tweak and mix in with any track. I can’t decide whether it’s insane or genius. https://www.wavesfactory.com/free-vst-plugins/ I would put this on the same level with a plugin that added more string squea...

BOREDOM ALERT. Listen, I always mic it. It's always an after-thought. 20 years of "oh yea, I guess I should put a mic there. :roll: " I get that you want the snare wire, but how do I record the bottom of a snare drum the correct way? I've never once thought it sounded good and it's THE most heavily ...

HEDD Type 07 MK2

The Copper is really great, and not just for the price. I've used em along side a desk full of vintage 1073/1066's and I bet in a blind test you wouldn't be able to pick one or the other out. All of the HB stuff is top notch. Lola rules too, especially with the 512 DOA's that the Copper also uses i...

Now that it’s sold I can talk about it without seeming like I was trying to hype it, but the Burl preamps are gorgeous. I had a B1 and a B1D. I have interface pres that are clean so I let the B1 go but the B1D is just so good sounding on everything. Just a tad darker and thicker sounding than the B...

I just tried my new pair of Beyerdynamic M930's on Sunday and am pretty thrilled with them. I've been struggling for a long time with OH mics, typically settling on a pair of sE VR1 ribbons or Coles (I know, woe is me), and while both are great it really is different than a nice pair of SDC's in ter...

OH - Spaced pair usually, sometimes an over-the-shoulder mic too, but I don't know if that counts. I should try ORTF more. I remember doing it once and liking it. For room it's usually a Blumlein setup a few feet out with a pair of ribbons, and I like a mono or [if I have enough tracks left] an M/S ...

The farting is coming from the source. Move your butt further from the mic.

right, must take poopximity effect into consideration.

sounds like a couple nice scores there. What would you be compressing with said compressor? ...I think another stereo compressor like the Daking FET III or something would maybe be more versatile for tracking and mixing... Never used a FET III, but the FET II is one of the all-time greats. It was m...

Farts resonate.

I think Electro Harmonix made something like that. Maybe called 12ay7. Joel Hamilton was into it for a while I think. You might be able to search and find it. 12AY7 is correct. It's in the same enclosure as the other tube guitar / bass pedals, but it has its own power supply and is a real mic pream...
