i have one of the mx5050s in two pieces.. one for modules, one for the transport. it sounds great and works like a charm but track 8 isn't recording properly. it sounds like a very tiny amount is getting to the track but not erasing or recording anywhere near a nominal level. the input level is fine...

i just put it up last night. i used it as a single overhead/tom mic. it picked up the ride cymbal VERY well. not too bright.. of course i was going to very old 456 so nothing's bright.. but it was very cool. didnt pick up the tom so much. pretty noisey. i have a pair. ill try the second to see if is...

i have the exact compressor and in all honesty, i love the thing. it's kind of funky but it does what it does quite nicely. mine is also the toggle switch one. good shit!

anyway.. if i have a chance this weekend, ill pop it open!

has one anyone used one of these? i got a pair for free and was just wondering if anyone's had any great or not-so-great experiences with these mics. just kind of curious before i get a chance to throw them up! thanks.

i've used an actual 670 and the ADL 670. both for only about a day. i really got to dig into the ADL and it just sounded amazing. i monitored through it all day. i remember having fun popping it in and out of the mix. i always just wanted it back in. it definitely added a lot without sounding like i...

i have a tac scorpion. it's had some of its op-amps replaced- looks like in the master section only, based on the scribbled schematics. i was wondering if anyone had an opinion on replacing the op-amps in the pre amps. specifically, my questions are: 1 would it be worth it? 2 would i need to further...

hm.. two days till "saturday" aka tag sale day!

wondering if anyone has a rackmount spring reverb unit for sale. not looking for anything amazing. just something boingy and gritty.

thanks. i may try the sawhorse thing. i thought of it but didnt realy consider it for some reason. stupid me!

i have a 16 ch. tac scorpion. it's not huge but it's heavy. i assume your average hard plastic table probably won't hold the weight of this board. i was thinking about getting some extra thick plywood and some 4x4s to use as legs. i have one thigh-high rack that's pretty sturdy. i was thinking about...

i was on the site two days ago

i am starting to wire up my new space and have a patchbay that requires soldering. all of the cabling is there, i'm just switching 8 bal. 1/4" to 8 XLRs. i've never dealt with one of these before. i clipped the 1/4" jacks off and soldered on the XLRs like so: ground to pin 1 and jumped to pin 2. hot...

i used the modded 57 in the following situation: ampeg b-25 with a green day pbass model. into a marshall 4x12, mic'd with the 57 modded, into a neve 1064, into a dbx 160SL. total success. aftr we tracked that, we mixed the song. the bass fit in absolutely beautifully! i'm totally using this modded ...

i dunno. the pre sounds pretty opened up. i think it's the pre.

wondering if anyone has a blank 7" 1/4" reel. got an old akai. it's beggin for some tape loop love.

cool deck anyhow.. it goes up to 15 ips, has reverse play/record, a 4th head (bias) and built in compression. im curious about its mic pres, too!
