Detroit

Well, tomorrow night there is a benefit concert at the Magic Bag in Ferndale to recall our asshole Governor. Good chance to check out some local bands and politics. Other than that, I can't think of anything specific. Check out Buddy's if you like pizza. The Magic Stick for music, bowling, beer and ...

gospel recording

I do a lot of work with gospel music, and I've found that amateur groups that want to come into the studio and record live never produce anything I would ever want to listen to again. If you have a mobile rig and can record them in their church, you might get better results. Or if you can talk them ...

Kick drum EQ

I love how polite everyone over here is! Versuviusx would have been torn a new one on that other message board. Even the jokes aren't mean. As far as kick drums go, I think most would agree a little boost in the lows, maybe a little boost in the highs, and a bit of a cut in the low mids is generally...

bidirectional mics on guitar and voice

This is my go to method for this sort of thing. I've gotten good sounds with KSM44, U87, 4050, 414, and C12VR. An R84 ribbon worked well a couple of times, but not so good with either quiet playing or singing. I usually play around with the levels of each source to make sure they won't sound weird c...

9098 repair

Have you checked with Vintage King in Ferndale? They sell lots of refurbished Neve stuff and have techs on staff, so they might be able to handle this.

FS: Burr Brown opamps for Sytek pre

I have 4 Burr Brown 2134PA IC's for sale. I purchased these on this forum with the intention of swapping out some of the stock IC's on my Sytek, but apparently I have a very old unit and this cannot be done on it. These were originally sent directly from Mike at Sytek, so they meet his critical stan...

Burr Brown modification for Sytek

Has anyone modified a Sytek MPX-4a with the Burr Brown IC's? I have one with all stock channels, and I have 4 Burr Brown OPA2134PA's that I would like to pop in there. They are socketed, so this should be a simple job. However, when I opened it up, it looks like there are 4 IC's on each channel, for...
