This might be a long shot but I'd try pulling the mic back or at least add a second mic. Maybe try a ribbon, or a bi or omni polar pattern? Are you compressing at all on the way in? Maybe don't go crazy just a little to get more gain without clipping. On female (non-operatic) vocals I've preferred a...

For sure go used, you get so much more for your money...not to mention that if you decide to sell you probably won't lose much money. Buying decent mics to begin with (I would avoid buying lots of cheap "off" brand mics) is certainly a better philosophy to start with...which doesn't mean you have to...

Both.

Do you have the LR button (right above the pan knobs) on the tracks pushed in? Stereo button above the headphone volume control pushed in?

When you change to playback, are you disarming the track, changing the input on channel 8 to remix, turning up your master and channel 8 faders?

I am personally not big on multiple mics on the same guitar part, usually sounds weird to me or phasey. Though I almost always double (as in truly perform the track twice, not copy paste). For your application and limited mic selection I would focus on getting one mic to sound good rather than strug...

I have found it to sound the best on baritone voices, with a little boost for high end but otherwise "flat". If you're a Slipknot fan, that's a Corey Taylor mic....nothing else quite nails it.

Well that's a fair price for a 388 in a fixer-upper condition. Perhaps he thought that the machine was supposed to record a to "bicycle chain" instead of Ampex 467. ?? I have bought 2 388s in the past year for $350 each... One has slow rewind, and one sometimes has trouble with the transport. Both ...

Well if you are okay with looking at cheap Macs on eBay...you can easily find an original model Intel Mac for under a grand, and it ought to run circles around a G5 and last you a lot longer. Most of the G5s only have PCI slots and obviously you can't be on the latest OS, which some newer software r...

Eh sorry I was trying to be funny with the whole cash thing, though I do have an XR but I'd be looking for more also to sell.

Do we need duplicate threads?

Cleverly concealed cash to Kansas City works for me..

It's a matter of companies developing products for said future interface... But then why would they develop the product if computers aren't equipped with it? Someone like Apple needs to bite the bullet and deem it standard like they did with USB, but if PC manufacturers don't catch on (like FireWire...

I have a G5 tower looking to see if anyone is trying to unload some PCI HD cards and possibly an inexpensive I/O option. Would like to buy as a package but may buy pieces also.

Nothin yet I stayed home for Christmas due to weather and no one to watch the cats. Got my wife an iPad though, which is pretty sweet. About ready to get myself a new computer and keys...
