Re: What preamps are y'all liking these days?
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...

Re: What preamps are y'all liking these days?
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...

Re: OH and room drum mic Techniques
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...

Re: OH and room drum mic Techniques
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 ...

Re: What preamps are y'all liking these days?
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...

Re: Mic pre in pedal form?
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...

Re: Can excessive preamp gain damage ribbon mic?
If it goes away when you back off the gain, it's probably just that when you crank the pre you're getting distortion from overdriving the input of the preamp. I've recorded acoustic guitars and resonators with my M160 quite a few times and I can pretty much guarantee you're not hurting the mic at al...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
Just bought a bunch of mic stands and boy was I rethinking my life choices when it came time to push "complete order" and saw the total. Anyways. They're nice. I'm sick of bullshit cheap stands that sag and rattle and break every other session. Can you share what you got? I just got an EV RE20 mic,...

Re: Best mics/mic-ing approaches for sax?
441 or M160 usually.
I always ask the player where the best sound is coming out, because it's usually not the bell, but be wary of picking up too much of the keys clacking. Why I never use an LDC and also why the really precise directionality of these 2 mics comes in handy.

Re: Drum OH's, only
Probably best case scenario. On the "cheaper" side of things, sE VR1's would probably be pretty sweet too. I use them as OHs a lot and love em for that. Been on my "want list" for awhile now. A pair of Coles is never going to happen. Get 3 because when I use my pair for OH's, I miss having one for ...

Re: What preamps are y'all liking these days?
I just posted another response to someone recommending Hamptone, and I think that's a really good idea—probably the front-runner in my mind right now. I'm undecided on whether to go JFET or tube though. Since you have both, do you have any suggestions? I love em both so it's hard to pick which is b...

Re: What preamps are y'all liking these days?
What's the preamp that makes you think "I wish I had a whole console full of these"... If I was actually buying a console, Daking. No question. The EQ is outrageously good, pre rules. would gladly sell all my other shit, except... Hamptone. Fucking great. They don't seem to be talked about here lik...
